I remember The Four Tops - my favourite single was Walk Away Renee which they nicked off The Left Banke.

Meanwhile, "a specific 12-month price target forecast for ZIOC predicts a significant potential fall to 0.14p from the current price around 7.44p."

Isn't AI rubbish? Or a diseased version of Mr Market? ZIOC is now 67% of my PF and I'm badly in need of a positive result. One-bagger or twenty-bagger doesn't make much difference after I've almost lost the will to live. With pressures on all fronts I'm very tempted to flee to Panama - is it cheaper to buy the hat there or here? According to today's Sun I'll be very welcome if I can prove I have a guaranteed monthly income of at least £742 which my state pension more than covers. I think it's the obvious answer - let all the migrants in through the front door while UK citizens exit through the back door. GLA!

No investor is ever "trapped like a rat in a barrel with ZPHR" or any other share. Surely it's simply a case of investing one's capital in whichever share appears to offer the best return, according to one's skill and judgment. Whether you're in profit or loss with any holding, if you think another share will be a better investment then go for it! At the very least, hedge your bets. Waiting for a loss-making holding to "pay you back" is crazy if it means missing out on the likes of GGP.

To be fair, PXEN has been a multibagger in the past but over the last year it's down 58% while ZPHR is only down 25%. Timing is everything.

7 January 2026: PALANGKA RAYA – The case of alleged corruption in the sale of zircon, ilmenite, and rutil that dragged PT Investasi Mandiri is increasingly revealing. The Central Kalimantan High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati Kalteng) on Tuesday (06/01/2026) conducted an intensive examination of witnesses and suspects to complete the case file.

The examination was held at 09.00 WIB and took place in the Special Crimes room of the Central Kalimantan District Attorney's Office. A number of witnesses were presented, including VC, as witnesses related to suspects IH, ETS, and HS, as well as four additional witnesses, including employees of PT Investasi Mandiri and the Central Kalimantan Provincial Trade Office. "This examination is important to uncover the facts of alleged irregularities in the sale and export of mining commodities," said the Head of the Central Kalimantan District Attorney's Office, Dodik Mahendra.

Not only witnesses, but two suspects, namely IH, an ASN at the Central Kalimantan Energy and Mineral Resources Office, and ETS, an employee of PT Investasi Mandiri, were intensively examined. Both are suspected of violating Article 2 Paragraph (1) and Article 3 juncto Article 18 of the Criminal Code and the Law on the Eradication of Corruption.

This case began with the activities of PT Investasi Mandiri which has a 2,032-hectare Production Operation Mining Business License (IUP OP) in Gunung Mas, which was issued in 2010 and extended in 2020. However, the alleged irregularities occurred when the company allegedly used the Work Plan and Cost Budget Approval (RKAB) as a cover for the sale of mining commodities, even though most of the materials were purchased from local communities in Katingan and Kuala Kapuas Regencies.

"It is suspected that there is abuse of the RKAB so that PT Investasi Mandiri can sell zircon, ilmenite, and rutil to the local market or export, even though the materials do not come entirely from the company's mining permit," said a source at the Central Kalimantan Prosecutor's Office.

Even more tragic, PT Investasi Mandiri is listed as an asset of PYX Resources, which is listed on the Australian and London Stock Exchanges. The offices of PYX Resources and PT Investasi Mandiri are known to be located in the same building in Palangka Raya.

This alleged corruption is estimated to cost the state up to Rp 1.3 trillion, not including regional tax losses, environmental impacts, and illegal mining activities in unlicensed forest areas (IPPKH).

The Prosecutor's Office continues to investigate the role of each suspect and witness, while preparing a complete file for the next legal process. This case has become one of the biggest public spotlights related to strategic mines in Central Kalimantan over the past few years. []

Old news from applebee. Meanwhile, "PYX continues to manage its inventory and sales strategy prudently and remains focused on preserving shareholder value."

"So if you have nothing worthwhile to add, please crawl back to whatever dark hole you crawled forth from." That is so helpful! Anyone who "trusts" extrader is an idiot regardless of how "helpful" he is. Every investor in ZIOC should be questioning everything they read and I'm sure extrader would agree with me. For my part, 33% of NPV @ 158p would be perfectly acceptable so the overlords can forget about screwing LTHs. Increased my holding 0.9% this week. At the same time I increased my holding in PYX by 233%.

"There are plenty of risks to consider, I don't think this is particularly high on the list, myself." Fair enough but I can't say I'm hugely reassured! As you say, there are plenty of other things to worry about and even if there weren't there's always many a slip twixt cup and lip.

"I hope for a straight take out in 3 figures" - £999m equates to 120p per share which would suit me.

" It did highlight the company being incorporated offshore as having less rights for PIs, however it said that in order for it to happen, they would still need to demonstrate that 'fair value' is being offered." Not sure they need to demonstrate fair value at all! And who would decide? Mr Market currently thinks fair value is 7.72p! I can't remember the name of the company but there was a case a while ago of one shareholder who owned over 75% attempting to take a company private on a like it or lump it basis. Eventually he was persuaded to treat other shareholders more fairly but I don't think it was because he was acting illegally. ZIOC is registered in the British Virgin Islands (as featured in Pirates Of The Caribbean) and therefore not subject to the City Code. GLA!

Hi extrader! IMHO your endless filling up of the board is counter-productive! Or completely irrelevant to the final outcome. Let the dog see the rabbit! We all know you're autistic and so am I - ZIOC couldn't care less! Your talents will be very useful should the overlords attempt to screw us - I suggest you form some arguments which will persuade the overlords not to take that course of action the greedy bustards! If LTHs didn't have a forthcoming fight on their hands then surely the SP would be multiples of where it is. The sheer greed is breath-taking and all involved will be named and shamed! Alternatively, allow ZIOC to be taken over at 100p or better and LTHs would be 99% happy. ZIOC could well be worth 10x more but that return is for the overlords in due course. For the time being please do the decent thing! 100p rids you of troublesome small investors - cheap at twice the price!

"When the news drops here every Tom, Dick and Harry will be trying to buy. The current price is a gift imho." Too true! We all know it's up and down like a bride's nightie every day but one day it will hit the stratosphere and stay there!

Didn't GGP have similar setbacks in their early days? GEO have 159,000 acres to explore and they've only drilled two holes - it's a lot worse than looking for a needle in a haystack. Add on 1.4m acres of ocean offshore Namibia and the current Mkt. Cap. looks exceedingly cheap. I'm currently down 50% but expecting to be up thousands of % in due course. It was ever thus.

The sooner a deal is done the better! Then we might really see TOM up hundreds of %!Why would anyone sell now?

I believe in painless dentistry! Congratulations to Catbert for getting rogered past the censor but G_G_G's worries I share as should every other LTH. The SP is not behaving as if it's on the brink of hearing even more "transformational" news. So why not expect the worst? ZIOC will be taken private and delisted with zero regard for all LTHs - we are expendable! God forgive the overlords if they choose this perfectly legal course of action. They are simply following in Trump's footsteps - what I want I get! The sooner Trump ends up like Mussolini the better! Ditto the overlords.

Instead of obverse - which bore the image of the reigning monarch - I should have said reverse which bore the image of a wren from 1937 until 1 January 1961 when I was aged 6. Farthing, from the Old English fēorðing meaning a fourth. GLA!

That was so helpful! I think thruppence per yard would be fair payment! Can't believe you're engaging with demons! Trust your own judgement or all is lost!

I remember thruppenny bits and also sixpences! But the best coin I never really got to know - the farthing! With a wren on the obverse - marvellous!

Why would you think there were "loads of shares no one wanted?" Judging by PYX's recent behaviour, I got the impression there were very few shares in free float so it's a mystery where they all came from today. Unhelpfully, the PYX website gives zero information on major shareholders or the number of shares NIPH. It's a wonderful binary bet!

Credit where credit's due: Chapter 24 by Pink Floyd, lyrics by Syd Barrett whom I once met to ask if he'd take in a parcel for his neighbour. The answer was no.

You'd have to be very nimble to bank a decent profit with the spread as it is. I bought ages ago in the hope of a recovery after a change in circumstances which appears to be occurring - any reason why the SP shouldn't exceed its 52 week high if normal business is resumed? Third biggest zircon miner etc.

"Today's announcement substantially exceeds expectations and shifts the probability distribution toward favorable outcomes."

Or

"All movement is accomplished in six stages

And the seventh brings return

For seven is the number of the young light

It forms when darkness is increased by one

Change returns success

Going and coming without error

Action brings good fortune

Sunset, sunrise, sunrise, sunrise, sunrise

Timing is everything!
