SM, the fact is we KNOW something has to be announced fairly soon and the difference this time is that it may be something fundamental.

SM, yup, people reading the runes correctly.

It's a lovely thought, but perhaps this is just a sign of the increased retail interest the broker referred to? But that begs the question, why now? Have people seen the recent news and media speculation and are buying as a result?

You're perfectly entitled to an opinion, but why you bother is a complete mystery. Perhaps you don't see just how weird your behaviour is? Don't you have anything else to do with your life?

Despite your interest in the company, the fact you can't understand what's going on at the moment says all we need to know - which is that you appear to get some kind of perverse pleasure from trying to rubbish the company. Very odd behaviour.

Incidentally, what are the 'current factors' you refer to? I guess you haven't bothered reading the last five announcements and the various positive stuff which has appeared in the media. And how about the Presidential validation we received at PDC? Was that all BS?

TheItalian, that's why this board exists. If people limited their comments to company announcements, there wouldn't be an LSE or any other investor bb.

Tesla, the building blocks are, at long last, being put in place. That's how it's benefited shareholders., although since you're not one, it's of no relevance to you.

I'm not concerned about today's lamentable sp and am only interested in what emerges over the coming months.

It's funny how certain posters are incapable of differentiating the past from the present and future. They wilfully ignore the significant changes which have occurred over the last 12 months and the positive developments of recent months. They have also completely refused to accept the fact that the new management of the company has fundamentally changed the business, one example being the shift of the axis of power from Australia to Ecuador and Canada.

What contributors to this board may, or may not have said x number of years ago is completely irrelevant - it's what's happening within the company now that matters.

Yesterday's article about Newmont was very interesting, particularly as I think quite a few of us assumed they'd be sellers of the stock. I suppose the fact we weren't on their disposal list was a clue. It was also interesting to note a broker reporting that he was seeing a far greater level of retail interest.One has to wonder why now?

The past is the past, it's over. Our current position is fundamentally different and it's now down to SC and BS to deliver on their promises. Various deadlines are looming and more news flow is a racing certainty.

Eloro, like what? Are you suggesting the company is failing to disclose his earnings properly?

I certainly agree with your final two sentences.

Incidentally, I see you're maintaining your perfect record of predicting the sp correctly. Please, please keep it up...it works wonders.

'Feeding frenzy', ha, ha! 200k versus millions. Don't be daft.

Eloro, why do you imagine he'd prefer to toil away at the coalface for another x number of years whilst earning a meagre 200k per annum when he could flog the company, trouser a multi-million dollar fortune and retire a happy man? He's 67, after all.

I suppose the same argument could be applied to BHP.

Eloro, excellent! Keep up the good work.

RK, that's why I accepted Fort's point.

Orthern you're right, although I can't see SC being that stupid.

Fort, ha! If your prediction is correct I would join you in your annoyance. Yes, you're right to include the Franco/Osisko option, although I sincerely hope it doesn't happen.

What will the next RNS relate to?

1) Short term funding, achieved by the sale of the CGP shares.

2) Short term funding achieved by a placing.

3) Long term funding as outlined in the TR.

4) A JV.

5) Separation of ENSA into newco with funding announced.

6) Sale of ENSA.

7) Sale of the group.

8) Something completely left of field

One thing's for sure, an announcement in the next 8 weeks is a nailed-on certainty.

Nab, your lack of self-awareness is hilarious. It's you who's become hysterical, not me. For your own purposes you're deliberately trying to turn what is a difficult situation for the people of Ecuador into a catastrophe, which, as Pbow has pointed out, it is not. In your mind the country is in engaged in a full-blown civil war...it isn't. As much as you may wish it Ecuador isn't Haiti, and it most certainly isn't Colombia in the bad old days.

I'm not downplaying the disruption caused by the drug gangs, but the fact is people are still going about their daily business and, as we've seen, against this backdrop Solg has made a great deal of progress in recent months, which is something even you can't deny. Similarly, Noboa is engaged in a campaign against the cartels which is making progress in clearing the streets of these people.

You are in desperate need of some perspective, although your posting record suggests it may be beyond you.

Nab, actually, and this will upset you, for once the BBC's report is quite measured and states that no motive has been established.

Another upsetting fact, Nobby has done a good job in quelling the violence, and although more needs to be done, progress has been made and has resulted in the arrest of 10000 people involved in the drugs trade.

As much as you would love to portray this this as a civil war, it isn't and life for us carries on. The five highly positive announcements so far this year must really have disappointed you. So, time for you to crawl back into your coffin.

Eish, I think you'll find he was being humorous which, after a weekend of endless culture wars, is to be welcomed.

'84, I 'm no more a fan of this than you are, but I understand why it's necessary.

Eloro, sadly this stuff is a necessary evil, but it has had the desired effect.

Incidentally, I recall on Wednesday when the sp fell by a huge 1%, you were speculating that this could be the start of a retreat to 5p. On both Thursday and Friday the sp rose. It would be quite helpful if you could make more predictions like this. Thanks in advance.
