Probably best not to take everything Bird says at face value. See attached from RNS today on Xtract.
Roughly half the amount of contained copper that he has been spouting on about for months.

· The Racecourse Mineral Resource contains 50Mt @ 0.25% CuEq which has been classified as Indicated in accordance with JORC (2012)"
Terrible result (compared with expectations set by Bird).
But it doesn't just condemn Bird. It also condemns the usual rampers on here who for many months vilified as trolls, anyone who dared to question their fanciful valuations of up to 35/40p.
Seen it so many times on AIM.
Sold at a loss yesterday at 210p, having recovered over £2k of losses in last month. To paraphrase Warren Buffet. Never be afraid to take a small loss.
Expecting these will retrace a bit so hopefully not too long before back in. Maybe even before XD date.
Agree with most of that Aug. And yet given all the faults of the modern Tory party, I still cannot dare to contemplate the alternative on offer.
Having utterly shafted the popular Brexit Party at the last election. The useless Tories are currently the only barrier to us becoming a fully fledged Marxist country.
I just wish upon wish that political commentators would desist from the lie that we are the 6th richest country in the world. I would accept that we are the 6th biggest GDP in the world, but, built on a massive pile of debt and the service sector and more and more of our assets in hock to richer countries, we are well on the way to basket case status.
Remember all those fancy get rich quick ideas that Foo kept spewing out. Such as mobile phone energy wells. CNG, 100 mscuffs per day etc etc?
All total bulcaca from a self serving fantasist desperate to deflect from his greed and miserable failures.
I know they are placing all their hopes on matanda as a company saviour but I still don't get why in the meantime we aren't raking in loads of extra sales from current energy crisis.
Re. If you want dividends now, buy a stock that pays them rather than a high growth stock that you keep bellyaching about for not paying them.
Only trouble is we're not getting either at the moment. Thankfully my low average means I can afford to wait a while, but not forever
See this is following the usual pre-results trend of a rise for a day or two before the results come out. Hoping they will be good enough such that the second part of the usual trend, ie a next day retrace, doesn't happen.
With all the political and financial gloom and doom in the UK at the moment, thought this might cheer you up

Everyone from the BBC and Labour Party is bayinb for Liz Truss' blood, predictably. Yet no-one mentions the hedge funds, pension trustees and city bankers who have created the financial instruments that have brought our financial system to the verge of collapse.
Nor do they manage the useless Andrew Bailey at Threadneedle Street and the FCA who have sat back and allowed it all to happen.
