Scrat, can I suggest you email the company and offer your services.

BBG, I certainly hope so.
Despite my current negativity towards NM, on the basis that news MUST be just around the corner, I've bought quite a few more shares today. Of course, if he delivers the goods, I'll stop calling him names and he'll be my bestie forever.

earthling, couldn't agree more. The idea that the company can take this number of projects to production is simply laughable - just like the lack of French speakers.
We all know the way to deliver shareholder value and I'm beginning to wonder if NM has been infected with a serious dose of hubris and vanity.

schlemiel, your updates are much appreciated. Thanks.

Zoros, suggest you do some basic research. Look at the last accounts, look at the monies raised and look at the run rate. You'll find cash is not the current problem.

Whilst the share price collapses, we're still looking for someone who can speak French.
Rome...fiddles...burns. Fecking hopeless leadership.

Interesting interpretation of the word "free". In order to have qualified for them, you had to have lost a packet beforehand. So not that "free", then.

Jerry, when can we expect to see your holdings RNS?
By the way, I've written to the Oxford English Dictionary and have asked them to add an additional meaning for the word "imminent". It will appear in the next addition and will specifically mention SOLG.

Jerry, absolutely right. Did you castigate them for peddling the "we can't find a translator" line? Having said that, I suppose it's entirely possible that not a single person in Australia speaks French.
As an aside, did you manage to avoid the temptation to flog any of your huge holding in GGP yesterday?

MrEM, quite right.
NC are not going to give this up and, by virtue of the various arrangements, are in an unassailable position.

Well said, Jerry. A similar argument applies to those who think the company will find itself in a bidding war...it won't. There's only one buyer.

Their sp is affected by many more factors than Hav. That's the reason.

"significant delays with translations..etc". Ha, bloody ha!
Why on earth do they keep peddling this utterly laughable excuse? Do they take us for fools? One whole year to translate a document! Fecking eejits!

Fair point, earthling. I suppose I was referring to the fact Hav appears to be getting far more corporate attention than SOLG.

Jerry, I don't see New simply rolling over if BHP attempt a bid and although they don't have a blocking position, they could make life complicated. Mind you, with what's going on at Haveiron, it could be argued New have enough on their plate. Additionally, my guess is that they are on bid alert with regard to Rio, and if that happens life really will get interesting.
The reluctance of BHP to appoint a director has always been a mystery and we've speculated as to the reasons. We all love the conspiracy theories, but it could simply be down to the fact that their corporate policy doesn't allow it. I should also like to know whether they've any intention of taking up the offer to provide technical assistance, as per the most recent announcement. Mind you, given the paucity of our corporate communications, I'm not sure we'll ever be told, one way or another.
The combination of the BHP and New shareholding has effectively led to a bit of an impasse and leads me to the opinion that a jv between the two is quite possible. Of course, Rio could upset the apple cart and a bid for New would catapult them up the global ladder miners. It must be very tempting.
In my mind, one thing is for sure, this will not be an independent company over the medium term.

appplegarth, just out of interest, what's the fascination with the comparison to EUA? It's of no relevance, is it?

mickey, it's true that GGP is is a much better jurisdiction and the prospects are great. However, SOLG is in the dominant player in an entire country and Cascabel alone is absolutely vast. And don't forget, apart from the 15% Cornerstone own, they have 100% of their other concessions.
Both of these companies are exciting and have much promise.
Over time, and subject to the politics, SOLG will be the much larger company of the two.

Jerry, yes, GGP is certainly making up for the lack of excitement here.

Bingo!
Btw, I wholly agree with you about the future as an independent company...it ain't gonna happen.
