Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I am 90% down, so if the predator comes in then I have no hopes to recover. Anyone here long enough than 2 years, the company forecast and Hardman notes used to talk about £3+ and not pennies. We are no where close to it even after a year of launch in the US.
This management is shambles...
I have written off my money, especially from what I heard this afternoon and the fact that they ducked some tough questions about their poor performance. Not sure how can they justify burning £1.6m per month and that is probably in big fat salaries they withdraw.

I am not sure what was positive about the results? 4 x sales from almost 0 is nothing to their forecast communicated prevously and the hardman notes they publish every so often. This company is a joke as CEO and CFO could not even answer when they are likely to break even or make profit during the investors call this afternoon. Tim Watts led me to the garden path and the new management are roaming in the garden cluelessly on the future of their business.
I struggle to understand the negligible sales figures from norgine over the years and US was hyped so much that we have not even hit 10% of the forecasted figures previous in H2 of the product launch!
john - no disrespect, but please get a paper and pen to check your logic...
GGP was prepared to pay $85m to keep that 5% which ws decline. Now they got that same 5% for FREE..!
$60m came only once offer was declined and NCM was getting a $25m bargain ($85m-$60m) over the market price (independent assessors price). I hope this clear up your sums...!
I think it is taking a while for people to work out what has happened here as everyone including SD has been caught off guard!
To me, I put today news simply as £85m profit for GGP...!
This has biggest ever deal for GGP in terms of money and I know we have not got $85m physically, we saved $85m which would have been paid otherwise, by getting the 5% at a zero cost.
Just thought this thread title makes perfect sense for people to get grips of today's news

GGP RNS states that 85m offfer was made to NCM previously. I think SD said in the proactive interview it was MArch. If it was not March and rather later, it puts NCM into even more difficult position to justify.
NCM is 'f' ed this up considerably and I would wonder how do they justify their own actions in regards to 5%. They talk about SH value on one hand and they have lost $85m for them in arrogance by not accepting GGP's offer but after 4 months giving them away for free. I think lot has to do with the ongoing economic conditions and changing of events between Mach and now - Ukraine war, rising inflation, etc and NCM got caught with all this in their decision making.
This has just worked out perfectly for GGP. To be honest, I dont think it is as simple as it reads and there is something else cooking in SB head which we dont know. I cannot simply explain what they have done i.e. not taking for $60m and instead giving away as an early Christmas gift, expect for the timing of those offers and changing macroecnomic situation globally! If I was SD, I would find it difficult to justify this except from what I have said above.
Enjoy GGP'ers. The only thing is that SD has options for his finances and to pay the NCM debt.
Its been long awaited move in the right direction, leys hope it can sustain for few days as it used to back in 2020..
Shorters won't be burnt as they shorted a considerable higher price, so they still make profit at these levels... but would be good to have them gone..!
Good Luck
As I said earlier, they have been struggling for years to open the first site and dragging it on for years now. I cannot see how they would scale up to 10+ sites, let alone 70+ sites even by 2050. Seems good tech on paper but nothing meaningful being delivered as as someone said, been diluted multiple times during this period.
PH3 should stop the daily Twitter post and get on with commercialing first site ASAP, else this will lose momentum and there will be alternatives to their tech in the market.

Kenny, 697 units with £500k should be about £348m or am I missing something.
^97 units are long way away. I have been year for 8 years now and it is frustratingly low progress on commercialisation. They have dragged Protos to death.
Still holding and sitting on profit, but expected better returns by now
They have been pumping NPV multiple times of the mcap several times in last couple of years but I am struggling to understand what they have been doing during that period in term of the progress.
Does anyone know what meaningful work they have done in last 2 years and when do they expect to start mining.
I am getting the feeling that they are just dragging on the word lithium and expecting miracle to push the sp up!
It might be my lack of reading on ZnWD.
Thanks Madmag.
Just read few post here and it seems like we expect GGP to release RNS tomorrow as they did once before. Lets see.
I am not sure if GGP could release drill results by themselves without NCM input!
Good luck all.
I did Bed and ISA previously and it cost me just over £100 on a £20k trade. Iwas fine with it as it was a main market stock, so I would have to have paid 0.5% stamp duty if I was to do it manually and take risk of price moving in other direction.
I recommend asking your broker about the cost as they gave me a ball park figure and it was very close to actual cost in the end. My broker for Iweb.
Also note, Bed and ISA doesn't incur trading fee either.
Good Luck
