When I got screwed by African Minerals, I did not bother to get the settlement either. Later on, when trying to close my Halifax Sharedealing account, they suggested I donated them to the Orr Mackintosh Foundation, aka ShareGift. They sent me a certificate stating the buying price and I was able to get a tax rebate in my self-assessment. No idea if Infiniti would allow this but worth a try if you want to recoup some of the losses
I had a letter from Equiniti asking me to sign a form so they could deleted my share from their account register. I replied as follows:
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your unsigned letter dated 1st May 2024 regarding my outstanding share held in Sirius Minerals PLC.
Firstly, I did receive the cheque in settlement but I have no intention of cashing it or any further cheque you might issue. I believe that us shareholders were "ripped off" by the deal that was arranged with Anglo American, with such a paltry settlement.
Basically many local shareholders lives and life savings were ruined by this.
As I have no intention of cashing any cheques, I suggest that it is donated to charity on my behalf.
I also have to point out how insensitive this response email address you have supplied is (dissenters@equiniti.co) is, and I am pleased that I have no association with Anglo American.
Please do not contact me again, as I have no interest in any further correspondence about this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Dissenting ex shareholder.

Woodsmith project
Throughout 2023, we saw continued good progress on the core infrastructure, with capital expenditure of $641 million (2022: $522 million). Sinking activities at the two deep shafts continue to progress well. The service shaft is now c.745 metres deep, having reached the expected depth for the year. Sinking activities on the production shaft began in January 2023 as planned, at 120 metres below the surface, and following a successful ramp-up to planned sinking rates, is now at a depth of c.510 metres.
Excavation of the three shallow shafts that will provide both ventilation and additional access to the Mineral Transport System (MTS) tunnel is complete. The MTS tunnel is also progressing to plan and has now reached c.27.5 km of the total 37 km length.
During 2024, a key focus area for shaft sinking will be on progress through a strata called the Sherwood sandstone, where we expect sink rates to decrease due to the expected hardness of the rock and potential water fissures. This is planned for in progress rates, and the intersection of the strata is expected around mid-2024. On the tunnel boring machine, there is a planned 3-4 month maintenance pause from the second quarter of 2024, during which the tunnel will be connected to the final intermediate shaft, providing further tunnel access and ventilation.
In parallel to the core infrastructure development, we are enhancing the project's configuration to allow a higher production capacity and more efficient, scalable mining methods over time. The required studies for this are progressing well and will ensure that additional infrastructure is optimally designed to enable future optionality and maximise long term value over the expected multi-decade asset life.
The project is planned to be submitted for a Board approval decision on Full Notice to Proceed in the first half of 2025, following conclusion of the study programme.
Capital expenditure of $0.9 billion is approved for 2024, the bulk of which will continue to be invested on shaft sinking and tunnel boring activities.
The project is expected to deliver first product to market in 2027, with a final design capacity of 13 Mtpa, subject to studies and approval.

Just got this from Share Soc:
Campaign members will be aware that there has been little reportable progress over the past year.
This has not been due to lack of effort on the part of the volunteer team, who have continued to press for further information to support a legal redress claim.
The team’s efforts have been consistently hampered by certain parties, most notably the Infrastructure and Projects Authority who have resolutely refused to comply with requests for information.
Three years have passed since the acquisition of Sirius Minerals by Anglo American. There has been no tangible information to report to campaign members for quite a while, and there is no realistic prospect of a breakthrough in the foreseeable future.
We also note that Anglo American’s latest cost estimate to bring the Woodsmith mine into production is $9bn, three times that estimated by Sirius Minerals. This runs counter to many investors’ views that the project was sold at an undervalue or that it could have been commercially funded as a standalone asset.
For these reasons, it is ShareSoc’s view that it would be irresponsible to keep the campaign open at this point, suggesting to members that a positive outcome is in sight.
We have therefore taken the decision to halt the campaign.
That doesn’t mean that all activity will cease. The team will continue to explore the events, documentation and actions that led up to Sirius’s capitulation in 2020. But we won’t communicate further unless there is positive reason to do so.
It is always of huge concern to see large numbers of individual investors pulled into unrealistic projects by naïve, incompetent and ill-advised directors.
We hope you will still continue to be a member of ShareSoc.
Kind regards,
ShareSoc

Give all shareholders a voice by bringing Company Law into the 21st Century
Help more investors engage with UK plcs by modernising the Companies Act: Give beneficial shareholders the right to direct info on plcs they invest in & plcs the right to visibility of who their shareholders are, make email a requirement to shareholding registration, & recognise digital AGMs.
More details
Outdated legislation stops shareholder voices being heard. Almost half of individual shareholders can’t directly engage with the company they invest in, as they invest via platforms, the rest are constrained by a paper-based system. At the same time, companies are losing sight of who their investors are. Digital first reform will be better for shareholders, better for business and ultimately, better for Britain – making the UK a more attractive place to invest and to list.
Hello Jiffy,
For hundreds of years, companies knew exactly who their shareholders were and could communicate freely with them on matters of importance. Today, they can't and that's wrong.
The increasing popularity of electronic trading and holding of shares using investment platforms has been a very positive development but, it has also placed an unacceptable communication block between share issuers and holders. This undermines the whole concept of capitalism by creating companies who are increasingly unaccountable to their invisible owners. The consequences of this are clear.
To correct this serious and uniquely British flaw in the efficient operation of capitalism, Marks and Spencer and ShareSoc have jointly written to Business Secretary, The Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP, urging the Government to modernise the Companies Act to allow electronic (ie digital) communication with and between shareholders and web-based access to AGMs and General Meetings*.
Please can you support this initiative by reading and signing the supporting petition to UK Government so we can ensure this important matter is given the attention it deserves.
Please click here to read and sign the petition.

Many thanks for your support.

God Bless you Archways, sounds like you have been put through the mill.
Here's hoping we can ultimately recover some hard earned cash with the ongoing Sharesoc investigation, who knows what the outcome might be, but for now at least I have some hope at least because of the fact the Sharesoc exercise is continuing with a 'Glimmer' of hope?
Let's hope so!!
Hi Gertfrobe.
I suppose that I could say that I am well, but I appear to be susceptible to getting cancer. I had prostate cancer about 12 years ago, and then both liver and lung cancer about 5 years ago, and in the last ten months I have had two small operations to remove cutaneous horns (caused by exposure to the sun when young) on my left arm and right ear. I now have only one and a half lungs so I easily get short of breath. Apart from that the good news is that none of the cancers are connected with any of the others, so none have spread.
Thanks for your advice re cutting and pasting, but I still couldn't do what I wanted to do so I asked my brother in Australia for his help.
He advised me to highlight the required text via ctrl and C, then move to the Post a Message space on this board, and then use ctrl and V, and hey presto here is the message from ShareSoc.
We appreciate it has been a while since we have been able to provide an update regarding our investigation into the potential to make a claim or claims for legal redress for Sirius Shareholders.
We are currently continuing to pursue a line of investigation, following legal advice, however, unfortunately this is an extremely time-consuming process and at this stage, regrettably, there is nothing substantive that can be shared.
We would, however, like to reassure you that we are working extremely hard in the background and the possibility of a claim remains in review. As soon as we have any update that we are able to share, we will do so.
With thanks for your patience and ongoing support.
Kindest regards,

Hope you are well.
Hi Gertfrobe.
Thanks for reproducing ShareSoc's email on here. Please let me know how you did that.
I hope that you are keeping well. I thought about you a couple of days ago. My wife and I were treated by our best friends to Saturday and Sunday at Tyddyn Llan at Llandrillo between Corwen and Bala. In view of your father's help at the Aberfan disaster I assume, perhaps wrongly, that you still live in South Wales, but being in mid-Wales made me think of you.

I do hope some of the locals are doing well out of the construction and they continue to do so for many years once the mine is operational.
It definitely transformed my wealth.....

what takeover moey?
Nearing two years since Anglo American bailed out Sirius investors with their 5.5p offer. At the time I was nursing losses of c£40,000, with an average of ~20p. Stuck all the takeover money and about 100% more into AAL shares at an average of £12ish. AAL now over £37 a share, so much more than wiped out my SXX losses, and with divis since then of over $5 per share on top.
And every 10 AAL shares got us 1 in TGA last year at £1.20, already worth over £6 and due to pay a divi in May of about 40p, the icing on a well iced cake, especially since I ploughed virtually all last year's divi income into TGA, mostly at around £2-£2.50 a share.
Thanks Anglo, for bailing out Sirius, keeping Woodsmith alive and making me a return of well over 4x my total investments in AAL and TGA.
The $1b a year Woodsmith will bring to AAL's bottom line in a couple of years won't make a huge difference to a company already making $20b pa in profit, but will be nice enough.
