Pity about the presenter not knowing the basics. Would have been good to ask questions around what next 12 months looks like rather than 2 years or longer to get an idea what production could look like just from the leach pads. I think Emma gave some good insight in respect to extending leach pads.

Anyone else picked up ounces of gold was 430 for last month from the Dore. Lower than I thought but still great compared to last year.

Longer term these modular processing plants look yo have substantially reduced capital expenditure. It's possible they could go it alone to build up. It's all about the exploratory drilling to increase the reserves and increase/confirm the grades.

Expecting next RNS to confirm below 1000 ounces still as they were mining pit 2 where grades are lower. May even produce less than last month. I just want to see confirmation they have started to mine pit 1 again which should see 1000 ounces from probably May/June onwards.

Well that was quick. Didnt take them long to off load the lot. Time for a rerate in the SP.

Goldstone are producing record amount of ounces and a long way still to go. Should hopefully see production doubling in the next three-four months as they mine higher grade pit.

Price of gold at all time highs.

Debt reduced.

It's looking good.

Getting through the sale of allotted Devonport Capital Limited shares a lot quicker than I was thinking. Wonder if there are some big accumulators in the wings. Could we see some TR1s once sales completed?

Well they have sold one third of their shares quickly. If this continues won't be long before they are out. Would be good for all concerned as will leave investors who support the growth of Goldstone.

Market makers have a lot of shares to sell so dropping price to offload. For those will to invest medium to long term rather than just trade it's a good opportunity. Don't get me wrong I'm disappointed as my shares are down but doest change Fundamentals for long term growth.

Devonport Capital Limited was allocated 147,692,308, so expect these need to fully sell before there is movement upwards. With increasing ounces per month shouldn't take long.

It was to he expected, considering the position of Blue Gold International Limited. The shares were always going to be sold at a loss for them but great opportunity for those wanting to add in view if longer term prospects.

Decent update and ounces increasing per month. Need to get to better graded ore so expect next two - three months to be impacted from an expectation point of view. Probably looking at H2 to hit 1000 ounces.

As others have said need to know AISC but looking back company was on average near to breaking even. With increased ounces and price of gold should be generating free cash flow to continue development.

Great result settling the debt. It's at a premium to current SP so no dilution to shareholders SP wise. Company can kick on from here.

As per previous RNS the diamonds are 'held in safe custody at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.' In view of this how can there be an insurance claim? Whenever something goes wrong people are so quick to say just claim against insurance. Malign insurers. They think it's some get out of jail card in monopoly.

I think there was an insurance valuation in respect to the diamonds but I'm not aware of any insurance policy taken out by African Consolidated Resources (prior company name of Vast) and as far as I am aware Rerserve Bank of Zimbabwe doesn't insure contents of deposit boxes.

It's down to government/reserve bank of Zimbabwe and Vast to agree terms of release. I believe the bank is holding off on releasing the diamonds until authorisation given by Government (hence approach to attorney general) and the government/officials wants something back in return from Vast. Question is what do they want and is it in the power of Vast to provide. If not then those diamonds could be stuck in the vault for a very long time.

Vast are pursuing them but looks like they have generally moved on with operations and Zimbabwe are now just a little paragraph until there are further developments.

They are now stacking enough ore and it's about the recovery of gold following the leach process. Based upon the work done over the past few years I expect the results will be as expected. In fact I'm hoping they can increase recovery rates with some tickering with the mix such as additional concrete with increased revenue. That's just a hope but the rates are much improved on initial results over a year ago now.

'progressing the civil engineering on the construction for Cells 6 and 7 for the continuation of the mining operations for the planned ramp up of production throughout 2025.' Sounding like ocean they are up and running company could look to exceed 1,000 ounces per month as they are already stacking 48,000 per month. I suppose it depends on how long the leach process takes.

Stacking of 48,000 ore was the aim to recover 1,000 ounces per month. They have hit the target of ore, just a question of extraction now. I wasnt expecting 1,000 ounces straight away. Theres always delays. Looking very positive.

Nothing changed from last time AP spoke about Hanes gold and BP. Results matter more than talk. Breaking even at BP is a key milestone but need a lot more than this. Debt to be paid back and Tajikistan is also costing money especially with new projects being looked at. All this travelling costs substantial amounts of money considering low revenue.

Positive update. Second shift now in operation which should help production numbers going forward. 34% increase already with leach pads progressing.

Talks with Blue Gold International Limited look to be going well. Ultimately they want their money back and progress being made should make this more than possible. Just a bit of patience needed.

It's a concern otherwise loan would have been rescheduled. Grl are obliged to put out an RNS. Question is what happens if they can't come to an agreement to postpone payments until next year.

I don't know about that. What's wrong with £3.65 a share or even higher if you want to go further back! £9.5 billion sounds entirely plausible. Well that's only breakeven for those invested at the time. We don't need to take into consideration revenue, costs or reserves. There's one born every minute.

Shareable you take ramping to a new level and probably put many genuine investors off investing here.

My understanding is the Deposit Protection Corporation does not cover (insure) deposits in safe boxes . This would include the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. An insurance value was provided against the diamonds which was significantly below the figures you have quoted. I'm not aware of any insurance policy being taken out against the diamonds by Vast and not seen anything in the accounts in respect to mitigating this risk. Please confirm where you have seen the insurance is this just another assumption?

My understanding was that there was no insurance provided by Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe for items stored. This is from memory on research undertaken over a year ago. Not sure if Vast have subsequently taken out insurance on the items or if they had insurable interest in doing so considering circumstances around ownership of diamonds at the time. Of course if there was insurance it would only pay out if they were stolen and currently supposedly still at the bank as advised by AP.
