CV. I too have been with MTL for a long time. I think I initially bought in at 26p – LOL. Les (and you) did a great job in bringing together all LTHs and probably saved us from suffering a bad deal from the major shareholders. But I don’t think I was ever offered 9p a share but stand to be corrected.
During this time there have been a number of raised hopes and false dawns. The last few years of shares investment has seen a lot of new investors in all sectors, many of whom are looking for quick fixes, instant gratification and to make a quick buck rather than investing for the medium or long term. MTL in particular has suffered from this short termism that has been very noticeable in the past few months of spikes and falls.
The remaining problem seems to be the fact that MTL still owe £80 million, an amount that as we know, with current management, price of gold and current production might well be repaid in 12 months.
I too do not want to sell. I think we may have to wait until mid 2023 to see a better price but already we are almost mid-Feb during which MTL have been coining it. The next update will be positive again but whether that will be the key to a real rise remains to be seen.
I tend to agree with Gaddes. The directors, some of whom are new, should be seen to support the company via a few buys.
