...and he's very good at making money.

Catbert made me laugh with "At least it's a bigger pie in the sky than the previous one."

For better or worse I've increased my holding by 9.15% @ 7.44p on the grounds that the only way is up (allegedly). I'm well aware the market can remain irrational for far longer than punters can stay solvent. Rollercoaster week so far for the rest of my PF - GEO steps off a cliff while BTC rewards my faith and PYX hits the stratosphere. GLA!

"This is the part of the valuation often overlooked. ORR retains rights to massive cash bonuses based on discovery success, even after giving up 50% of the project." So 50% of the upside has been given away? It stinks!

"Not sure I understand how the BCM JV works, especially the Earn in percentage. Can anyone explain?" posted on 28 December by Accomp.

Accomp, you'll wait a long time for a sensible reply! Come on GodofHellfire - answer a straight question instead of posting fluff! And why is ORR the only share you're interested in? Hardly a balanced view! I'm glad I'm out until the inevitable takeover offer at a fraction of true value because the current BOD are incapable of increasing shareholder value. Or is the SP being kept low for a reason? How about a takeover offer from SLP? Up 150% over the past year and currently valued @ £266m - surely a perfect match? And pocket money for them. No idea how many shares in SLP Eileen owns - the website is disingenuous. Except 39.82% are N.I.P.H. Deep waters, Watson! Obviously, Mr Market is aware of all this which is why ORR is where it is which is very sad.

"Crazy valuation if the gossip behind the scenes is true" - JRolph 9-11-25

There's never a free lunch so I can live with the least possible dilution - maybe even issue new shares at a premium because the current SP does not reflect the huge upside? I'm sure that would raise the SP in itself. Got to be at least a 50-bagger from here but possibly multiples of that - who knows?

Are you still a shareholder allthatguff? Almost certainly yes with all the "transformational" news promised by 31 March! Is everyone else and their dog piling in? No. Who owns the shares that are automatically traded? A robot? AI makes me laugh! Its opinion of ZIOC appears to be largely based on what appears here and on the other board! And we all know both are dominated by two individuals (surely they can't be one and the same but it wouldn't surprise me!) Regardless, beardozer's feeling slightly chuffed after his one and only tip for 2026 (which was qualified by WTFDIK) was up 24% yesterday. Shame I'm still down 33% but if it regains its previous 52 week high I'm looking at a 769% return from here. In the real world my rent's just been increased 15% to £900 for a one bedroom cottage and I've been told the moth damage to the carpets is my responsibility! As if I invited them to tuck in! I'm outta here as soon as a jackpot permits and I'm not solely reliant on ZIOC but others may take longer to rescue me. Pleased to see TOM rising recently - its jackpot could dwarf ZIOC's but WTFDIK?

BTC has made a good start! If it just gets back to its 52 week high that's a 769% return from here. After that, it's infinity and beyond!

"Long game I retire and make a few millions" - just like GGP! Astonished that the astonishing buy-sell ratio this morning only led to a 1.39% rise. As Buffett may or may not have said: "Only invest in shares you'd be happy to hold if the Stock Market closed for a year!"

Huge mistake to be investing on behalf of family members. It NEVER ends well - trust me! Huge mistake to have too many eggs in one basket - it's not rocket science! I guarantee you'll soon tire of being invested in Alliance Trust! I suggest you DYOR and bung £10k into whatever company looks like it could be a multi-bagger. Not all at once - take your time! Opportunities abound every month. Good luck!

Spot on, eggshead! " if anything significant were to shift the share price to multiple levels, it wouldn't be trading at 8p or so today. "

We have just had a minor blip after ZIOC promised a deal by 31 March 2026. Mr Market doesn't appear to think it will be "transformational".

We'll see but there's nothing to stop a late entrant putting the kybosh on all our overlords' plans. I live in hope. Could it even happen? Could a non-shareholder suddenly offer 200p per share? Presumably that would send the SP over 200p and I, for one, would be outta here! Instant removal of LTHs!

Happy New Year!

Ramping at its best! Delighted to see a 725,976 buy today - more than double my holding and less than I paid! GLA!

Grounds for optimism? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/29/crypto-end-of-year-fall-cuts-trump-optimism

It wouldn't surprise me! No great insight apart from it appears oversold and if bitcoin rockets then this will too. WTFDIK? If only all investment recommendations were followed by those 6 letters...

A swift response, wraith! Any thoughts on what our LOGP shares will be worth post-compensation award? I suspect a capital reorganisation will wipe us out but who knows? Pleased you agree with my worst case scenario - is there cause for optimism? Not much! The Irish Government (as was) has so much to answer for! Why would Energy Security be something they would oppose? They're supposed to look after their citizens! Not these days!

Assuming the recent bounce wasn't of the dead cat variety I'm expecting great things from ZPHR in 2026. A billion pound company in due course - it's not rocket science! Just endless oil wells as far as the eye can see...

Old news, wraith! What are we expecting the compensation to be? $100m + interest. Less costs. My worst case scenario is shareholders ending up with $60m which is roughly £45m which is roughly 3.6p per share. With interest it could be nearer 5p depending on how long they drag it out. Not life-changing for me but worth having! And I will still own shares in whatever LOGP has turned into albeit diluted into oblivion but it's the thought that counts.

"Callum Baxter is an advisory Geologist with GEO...He has identified high potential in JUNO and Namibia.." Not sure he has much to do with Namibia which is a legacy oil holding from before GEO was born but he does own 6.75% of GEO which is just behind Omar Ahmad's 6.97%. Is that enough to be "aligned with shareholders"? We'll soon see! The weak SP would indicate we're heading towards disappointment after the Juno assays are announced.

If the SP plunges 50% on that news I'll be filling my boots because an offer for the Namibian assets could arrive at any moment (allegedly).

I have no idea what your comment means! You probably don 't either! You have contributed absolutely nothing since appearing on this board thinking you were the first to notice the huge gap between SP and so-called value. OK, I'm gone (again) unless this entity attacks me again and then all bets are off! So if you think my comments are a drag on the SP GoldGeezer then confine yourself to mindless ramping. "Mindless" is very appropriate! Meanwhile, gold explorers are the last to feel the warm rush of a rising POG but gains can be spectacular which means I need to reinvest sooner rather than later. GLA!

Much obliged to you glenmorangie for your seasonal greeting. Funny you should mention Christmas spirits because I don't drink spirits , believing them to be a short cut to the morgue. And, funnily enough, I drink far less at Christmas than I do usually. Even more hilarious, my latest dream property is called High Spirits - what a coincidence! Priced @ £500k it only needs the ZIOC SP to hit 87p and I can get on with the rest of my life. GLA!
