Camelot aren't acting in cahoots with either of the main shareholders. If they were, they'd need to declare that they're part of a concert party.

They are doing what funds like them do i.e they've engineered a critical position for themselves in the event of any corporate action, which they clearly anticipate will happen.

There's no doubt about that, nal. We tried our best, but you wouldn't listen.

Nal, you say I'll need to know the meaning for my mining investments. That's not true as far as this company is concerned. We don't do holes anymore.

Btw, when said quickly, ar*ewoolawoola, as in 'you fecking ar*ewoolawoola', should enter our lexicon of swear words. (you can tell I'm bored)

Nal, sadly not. It's a clear gap in my education which I'll do my best to fill as I can see how useful it will be for me in the future.

On here today. I think we could do with a few more rumours from the financial district of Woolawoolagang.

Bozi, you're right about the constant referencing to how great we are. Every time I hear some dim politician utter such nonsense, my toes curl backwards. The idea of our exceptionalism is just utter nonsense and if our political class dropped the whole myth they might learn that other countries do things far better than we do - health care being the prime example.

Bozi, you seem to be ignoring a few major contributors to our current malaise:

1) Cameron inherited a basket case economy.

2) The pandemic and our utterly insane over-reaction to it.

3) Ukraine.

Having said that, the Tories are utterly useless, but so too are the Labour Party - the Liberals are simply beyond the pale. For me, this represents a major conundrum as, for the first time in my life, I have absolutely no idea who I'll vote for at the next election.

Oh, the irony!

Nal, ever since you arrived on this site you've spent your time berating people for posting stuff about rumoured takeovers etc, and here you are doing the exact same thing!

Anyway, let's hope you're right.

And what a ride that was. For once in my life I bought and sold at the right time. It remains my best ever return, both in percentage and value terms and is unlikely to be surpassed.

Thanks. A very useful take on things.

Anyone else having problems with the board updating posts? I can see people have posted something but the post itself is not visible.

Every cloud...!

Will the new web site say something like: " We've got all these tenements, but as testament to our genius we've deliberately done nothing with them"

DBW, every recent article on this topic specifically mentions Casacbel as progressing.

DBW, surely the issue relates to location? Potential deposits in protected areas should be left well alone, not only for the people who live there, but also for the planet.

We've been assured many times in the past that none of our tenements are in protected areas, but I see this as an irrelevance as we'll never get round to doing anything on the majority of them. They have no value now and it's unlikely they ever will - at least not in our lifetime. In fact, it sometimes feels to me that we keep them simply for the bragging rights, although I accept this is probably an overly cynical view.

Incidentally, Perez came fifth in the first round, which tends to demonstrate the electorate have more important things on their minds.

I'd tend to agree with you, although it could be they've made the only person in the office who knew how to turn the computer on, redundant.

Eagerly await the launch of our new and exciting web site, I had a quick glance at the current version.

Pollock is still detailed as being "interim CFO" working alongside Stackhouse who is described as being "CFO" I wonder if this is really the case?

Pollock is in Australia and Stackhouse is in Canada - I think. Is this deliberate, or does it merely reflect how out of date the web site is?

Given that the run-off won't happen until October, does this mean Lasso stays in the chair until then?

If it does, perhaps he'd be kind enough to sign the new IPA and grant us the water and environment licences. The last time I asked him something similar i.e to make the best of his remaining days by signing the mining licence, he did as he was told.

There's speculation that because the centre right vote was split between a number of candidates, that element of the electorate will coalesce around Noboa making the outcome in October less easy to predict. Either way, neither of them are rabid opponents of mining.

Passed-off peacefully and it looks as if the run-off will be between Gonzalez and the banana bloke.

Security was the key issue, with an unusual degree of unanimity amongst the candidates. Gonzalez is promising all sorts of costly social programmes, but seemingly without spelling out where the tax revenues are going to come from. At least we can help her with that.

The two mining referenda are heading for a no vote. But before any of the pessimists get excited, they were nowhere near Cascabel and have completely different characteristics, Choco Andino being a cloud forest that shouldn't allow mining.

Covgaz, your post is baffling. The first rule of investing is protect your capital, so why are you ignoring it?

Apparently, you're convinced this will fail, so why don't you get out now whist you still have some value?

The second rule of investing is, know when to take your losses. Given your pessimism, perhaps it's time you sold?
