Filtered - I can't see why. My posts are just amicable, friendly, joking and above all hopeful. Personally I am stuck here with far too many shares at an average of 0.23p and I would love to see a nice rise so I can at least be back in profit. I don't think that is too much to ask.

ATB

SCGL last week; CYK AI this week; CTAI just moving up now - I seem to remember that CLAI was one of the group as well. Let's hope we do the same here ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

And they appear to be bagging up over absolutely nothing. I think this lot are trying too hard. Maybe just some directors buys from the 3 new directors would do the trick.

Yawn, all of the AI shares seem to be bagging up - except ASTR which is trickling up. And they are getting hundreds of trades while we are just getting a few.

I see that Cykel AI is up 90% today and 300% in January and there hasn't been any news there since 4th December. We could do with something like that here. Yes, please.

The main problem here is that GEX just haven't raised enough funds since they have been listed.

I was just checking and it turns out that HE1 raised a total of £32M before they hit Helium in Tanzania = £6M on IPO; £10M pre first drill; £9.9M before drilling the third well; and a further £6.1 before the fourth and finally successful well.

All GEX have raised was the £5M on listing plus a further £1.2M in the placings in August and November this year. That is just not enough. They need to man it up and accept the fact that early days exploration drilling is going to be costly.

After all of the delays the GEX management could at least have the manners to bring out an RNS on time - that is if one is due - rather then have a leaky situation like this where there is no obvious reason for the rise in the share price.

WCE and GRE have both shrugged off their inevitable (ie. for drill costs) placings. WCE's placing was at A$0.19 and it is now at A$0.26 while the GRE placing for Munni Munni drilling was at A$0.055 and it is currently at A$0.13 - so considerably higher. Just the UFO share price lagging behind at the moment.

The daily chart looks absolutely primed for a rise, changing up from a fall that has been on-going since 11th Nov. However with a one-directional (downwards) chart like GEX they are not always to be depended on. News is all that will count here. It looks like news might have been leaked.

Gold up, silver up, palladium up, platinum up, copper up, WCE up, GRE up - I wonder which direction UFO will go today. I suppose it depends on whether the post-placing panic selling continues ............... or whether this share can finally rise on the strength of the rising commodity prices.

I see that GEO is down today on the back of very poor drill results (also in Australia). That is the difference here. We know we have very high-grade silver. It's just a shame that the m/cap doesn't reflect it as it should.

Just the sublime to the ridiculous. If these two clowns can be bothered to agree to this funding deal then the share price and m/cap will be multiples of where it is today. There are only 127million shares in issue and with no further dilution the share price will go through the roof. What is wrong with them?

Thoughts - what is taking Hamilton and Wallace so bloody long to get this funding deal signed? Blimey, are they stupid.

They have no funds and no means of raising any while they are stuck on the Main Market. If they had a clue what they were doing, they could have transferred from the Main Market to AIM any time over the last 18 months. It would have taken about a month. Then, with a quick GM they can allot as many shares as they want for issue and raise as much cash as they need. HE1 raised £16M before they spud their first drill. Whatever it needs they could have raised.

It is unlikely that they are not going to be paid a salary. The options mentioned on their appointment (which yes are still not finalised) have to be purchased at 0.02p, so they will only become a gain when the share price is higher than that. Also, none are optionable over the first year of three, so even if the share price did shoot up they cannot get any money in lieu of remuneration. The only thing that is certain is that it will cost each of these directors £442,936 to vest all of these options. Maybe the company is thinking a bit too big and ahead of itself with this sort of deal.

From RNS dated 29th November 2025:

"Mark Creaser and Siam Kidd hold no ordinary shares in Astrid.

As part of the abovementioned appointments, it is expected that Mark and Siam will be granted 221,468,309 options over ordinary shares each in the Company. The 221,468,309 options will vest over a three-year period, with no vesting in the first year and the balance vesting in equal monthly instalments over the following two years, with an exercise price of 0.2p per option. An announcement will be made upon the grant of these options."

The lack of communication is not helping here. Today's update was the first for about 7 weeks. That just isn't good enough.

0.2p this week! That would catch UFO up with WCE, though I expect that the latter will probably rise further before UFO does anything. Shame really.

Noting the update from Blue Star Capital and SatoshiPay today (added below), maybe this company should also consider paying their expensive-looking board in shares rather than salary. It may also encourage them to buy some directly.

"Director Remuneration and Grant of Warrants

Additionally, the Company announces that, in order to preserve cash for deployment within the business, it has agreed to pay the Directors a reduced salary and has granted the Directors warrants over ordinary shares in the Company ("Warrants") as partial remuneration in lieu of salary. The Directors have not received any salary in respect of their roles since January 2024 in order to maximise available cash for the Company's portfolio of investments."

Gold up; silver up; palladium up; platinum up; copper up - and not just up but up by a clear 2%/3% and yet some numpties still manage to find a reason to panic sell. Beats me why.

Also the silver assays must be imminent. They were originally due mid-December but were delayed, most probably while both UFO and WCE got their placings off. Now the fundraising is out of the way, the assays should be out pretty soon.

There is far too much pessimism from the long-term holders. No wonder the share price is so low. Maybe it's time to shut up and enjoy the rise that is going to happen here however much the LTH's bellyache on and on. Get a life. The good news is that West Coast Silver and GreenTech Metals are now firmly in control and leading the way as their share prices rise in line with operations and the rising commodity prices.

Too much pessimism from the long-term holders here by a long way!!

Blimey, some of them are even mentioning a rise back in 2011 and even posting that they wish they had got out then. Wakey, wakey, looking at the chart I can see that there have been 2 more big rises since then, one in 2013/2014 from a low of 5p/6p to a high of 35p/40p/50p and another fairly recently in 2020 when the share price went from about where it is now and screamed up to over 2p. They were both great opportunities for the LTH's to exit, though they might have needed to average down a bit before the 2020 rise.

This is also a great opportunity now and with the 2 drills in progress, new MRE's planned for both assets and the huge rises in the spot price of silver, gold, copper, platinum and palladium this could very easily as much as ten bag from the recent placing price and in a fairly short time. I would suggest that anyone who is stuck here from 2011 (or later) might want to buy some more and average down and then they might get all of their money back and stop this incessant moaning.

So if it wasn't for the poorly priced bucket shop placing at 0.09p, which has been sold off for weeks and weeks despite the 2 Australian JV companies value increasing and despite the extreme rise in the associated commodities - particularly silver, platinum and palladium - UFO should be currently trading somewhere in the 0.02p's, which is roughly double the present share price. And that is while we are quietly waiting for some more drill results and assays from both projects. There is some serious catching up to do here.
