If the pre-concentration study is having the desired effect on the economics, do you not think that information should be made available to shareholders ?
Any immediate urgency is totally out of the companies hands whilst Optimal conclude the updated conceptual study. This is key decision point for the next steps or direction that the project will take. The priority overall, will still be with reaching that AA option, but is unlikely there will be any progression until the outcome of the study. Considering it may well be that once the pre-concentration study is returned it will go straight to Optimal to conclude the conceptual study without initially releasing it to the market.
So I don’t think it would necessarily be because of it not having the desired effect on the economics.
They have already suggested there will be further drilling to improve on NPV, tonnage etc directed from the interim report. So whatever the outcome now, there will be some further re-jigging of the model anyway to hit the sweet spot.
So, it's three weeks today since Bird told Roast PR that the results of the ore-sorting study would be available in 3/4 weeks - His words: 'it's finger biting nail time'.
With the 'Bird BS factor' I guess we're looking at the end of May or possibly longer if the results are not to his taste, either way not too long to get an idea of how close/far away we are from BR being a viable mine.
Looks like Colins other baby, African Pioneer is going somewhere at least going by the recent RNS. Non equity funding about to drop and looks like he's taking it to producing copper. Wish he'd have the same urgency with this one!
Mining companies announce more than $65 billion worth of deals so far in 2023, highest since 2012

I identify with that post a lot Banzai, Thanks.
AIM All share Index is my p/f benchmark.. it has gone from 1300 odd in August /Sept 2021 to 770 ish low Oct 2022 .. but it has just not turned back up at all meaningfully so far yet - 820 ish as I type - and this is a big problem in the context of Global Major indices not being off a lot generally versus the AIM capitulation of recent years.
The rule of thumb I've always had is that if major US indices sneeze then AIM catches cold.. or if they catch cold, AIM catches flu.. or flu, AIM pneumonia.... etc.. but AIM caught pneumonia from their cold(s) in 21/22 .. and is still struggling a lot to shrug that serious illness off.. and US global markets, having stayed in at least decent health generally, might soon catch a cold again.. or this time, flu even.... and what that might do to AIM in its very slow recovery from pneumonia state is the big reason I'm not committing more funds to my fairly sickly AIM p/f around now..
Actually, I think he's from Derbyshire.......
I thought Colin was from Yorkshire and not Romania ...........................

The French are very fond of horsemeat. My wife (French) thinks we were all completely bonkers to get so steamed up about the horsemeat "scandal". It is cheaper and a few canny Romanians saw a way to make a few bucks by filling our cottage pies with their old nags. Nobody noticed any difference in taste . Some boffin stumbled across a mix up in the food chain and we were all up in arms about the so called contamination . All nonsense or horse **** you might say. The rich French eat horsemeat as it is low in fat and tastier than beef so you can be both rich and eat cheavaline.
Me too ! I bought big at 5p, 6p and 7.5p when Colin's 2mt and tie a bow on it BS was at it's height.
Luckily I had a holding to start with in the 1p's and bought a lump recently to get my average down to 3.51p
I'm not buying any more !! ( I think)......
Howezap - love it. Made me laugh. I admit I am still bitter over the 2m/t ramping last year. Worse, I made a very bad top up at over 7p a share on the expectations it would be a quick sell. But - life moves on and I am invested in Colin's other companies. I guess I will either end up rich or eating horse meat.
He's completely wrong. The AIM market was in free fall for a protracted period of time. Its been torturous for pretty much all stocks. I don't know why.
Some commentators have had a guess but they didn't come up with CB as the cause.
Things are more positive.. AFP +25% today, based on strategy and results of CB and team, and most importantly an improving AIM market sentiment. More positives to follow.
Angry and peed off? Only Kwacks knows his emotional state, but he has an opinion for sure.
so is kwadoku wrong angry or a peed off investor or is he factually right ?
I actually felt kwads ranting in this months episode was not a vociferous as usual, that normally smack of being a lot more insulting toward Colin and quite frankly slanderous at times. Didn’t mention though this time, using his various companies as vehicles to fund his extravagant lifestyle abroad and his passion for racehorses. But I think the racehorse he probably bought with kwads money turned out to be an old pit pony. Shame….looked really promising at first! Oh well, just put it out to graze with all the others and get another one, at some point one of them is likely to romp home.
Does that in some way sound familiar ;-)
From memory I think Kwaks got spiked at BZT at around .37. He also may have invested here in XTR as well but I think he got in early so may possibly have made a profit. He has subsequently set himself up as a Stop Colin protestor and plasters his dubious research over all of CB's BBs ... but he reserves his most venomous for BZT. He and a few others see CB as the devil incarnate and innocent investors need to be protected from falling foul of Colin's Svengali powers.
"Kwaks how much did you have to lose to be so persistently bitter and negative"
Here's your answer......

Is this another pump and dump? 04 Oct 2021 10:33
Taken a hammering on BZT ........and a few other miners who seem more interested in a lifestyle company as opposed to a a money-making company. Doesnt help that Craig Brown has the same initials as Colin Bird.
I wonder how Kwad's book is going. The one titled "how colin bird ruined my life and if wasnt for him I'd have been a success" !
As Elsa would say... "Let it go, let it go " :)
Calm down. It's a red day all over, not just this share.
Kwaks how much did you have to lose to be so persistently bitter and negative. Put it behind you and move on. For everyone's sake.
And down we go
I forgotten, we thought, at one point, he was invested......
Andrew, whilst I broadly agree with your statement, the SP is up circa 60% in the last month.
Hands in the air, as a long term holder of a large number of shares - even I traded that move.
Buys at 1.30-1.50 to sell at 2.00-2.20, cheers then.
If anyone is selling at this price then I think that's a mistake due to FB income yet to be declared.
If you write off all of Bushranger, which the sp has done so already imho, I can't see how this is not going higher after FB income officially declared.
I think the sells are from those that don't want to wait another 3 to 6 months for FB income to be confirmed in RNS and think they can make money quicker in another punt.
If their short term timescales are 3 months or less then they are probably right to sell.
Would have to be a declaration if any member of the BoD sells shares Jezz - Which is why I was a little sus when JR stepped down...
I've always been suspicious it's the team down in Auz, especially since Jeremy Read stepped down. There was an increase in selling following that.
Could also be that we are paying for services in shares?!
