Definite: Ghana - Lithium - Q1 Chad - Gold - Q1 Interims Possible: Ivory Coast - Gold (in progress) Monogorilby - Bauxite (in progress) May Queen - Gold (?) More JV's Asset sale Anything missing there? The company has been so quiet that I've concocted a myriad of hugely exciting reasons in my mind. Probably just something mundane, but it's the 'Talking to majors in IC, Ghana & Chad' that has me salivating.

Haha damn straight, STS. I knew this would happen! Someone's just paid over 25p! Typical! I shall have to wait for a pullback then...

I'm sure that's just a coincidence... Lolz.

Good about Toro. All round-number buys now! Transparency,thy name is AIM.

Oh look: large, round-number ‘sells’. One at 6.38am which is definitely time available for PI trades...no,wait,that’s not right is it? THEY must be very low on shares now.

Have to wait until Wednesday for my last big SIPP top-up. So, you can guarantee at least one piece of price-changing news before then to guarantee I'm paying top dollar.

Nope. Have to be brave and/or crazy. Will make it even harder for the PI's that get left behind to jump on board. No tears for them though. Frankly, they've had plenty of warning about what is coming.

Agreed. I calculate around 1 million required (assuming that's right of course). They may be doing it piece-meal so not need to buy the whole lot. Just waiting for the huge trade that signals the squeeze is on/news is enroute.

I don't think even the blatant shorter has any design on dropping this below 22p.

You seem rather more optimistic than last week's 'wait until the teens (to top up)' comment, STS.

Coming

Someone paid 24.29 with the ask at 24. Yet, that hasn't moved at all. Still feels like we're missing trades.

Another one shown up with a timestamp of 9.25. Ooofff.

I assume it's a software glitch with the feed that LSE put out. What seems to be the case is that there's been far more buys but the price has dropped. Which looks quite weird. Manipulation or are there more trades missing?

Hmm. On the moneyam page, they are coming in with timestamps around the 9.20's but are only showing up now. The 42,073 is a nice buy. Rather hard to tell what is going on though. What's up with all trading sites today?

In a word: yes. Ascent Resources was shorted by Utilico last year (they even diclosed it - was about 1.2%) I know people who shorted UKOG at 7p. Went up to 11 which caused some panic, but soon dropped back. Harvest Minerals in 2016 - were due to raise money around 8p so was shorted like crazy. Not sure whom: maybe Miton? Anyway, the raise was cancelled and the price spiked to 24p as positions were covered in desperation I don't think it happens that often, but (hypothetically) say if you were a big fan of the company and the assets but knew there'd be a dearth of news for a bit. Volume drops off and it only takes 1 Million borrowed shares (under 0.5%) or so to force the price from 30ish to 20ish, where you then buy back, having made a killing, and ride up as the newsflow increases. Personally, I hope that's the case. Shorts closing often precipitates a huge rise. Course, it could be just what Supergut says: the market wants the 76% retrace. Either way: this is now the 52-week low and the MACD has just crossed so it's time to buy IMO.

Looks like you can buy at 23.5 now Mr Swest

A sell or mid-price!

Bet you all my IRR shares that your buy is shown as a sell. What they've done to 90% of buys this week.

Damn straight. We invested at exactly the same time then. The Chad announcement drew me in. I think your assessment of things is right. Most of the selling has been PI's and, mainly, traders. But there's definitely been a step up of round number sells this week all at the same time as the buying has been bigger, so volume has shot up from the 1,000 vol of two weeks ago to consistently around 200,000. Can't help but feel that one big RNS gets closer by the day!
