It always goes down well with the hoi-polloi and you can never have enough of a good thing! Unless, of course, the intention is to keep the SP as low as possible.

Wise words smkr! Are we all looking a gift horse in the mouth? I see one of your comments elsewhere mentioned MET1 where I am currently up 449% - do you have a view on the company as my investment success is a complete mystery to me!

The same way my lack of investment success with ZIOC is a complete mystery! I do my research but reality intervenes.

Why not? And ORR would still be undervalued. Trump is an idiot who hasn't thought it through. Thought it through, as he would repeat himself. Repeat himself. There must be US technology companies who will go bankrupt because their products are now too expensive in China. At the same time, I can see American cars becoming a status symbol in China where they love to flaunt wealth. Maybe not Teslas - who would want to be associated with Elon Muppet? It's about time ORR investors started to dream about flaunting wealth!

"Cmon fellas it’s not that bad!!!" Actually, it is quite bad if some LTHs are beginning to despair! As for the SP not mattering - I stand corrected as I'd completely overlooked the mitigating effect a higher SP has on dilution. And I can't claim to be "a happy holder" if the best we can hope for is 40-60p! I wasn't expecting only an 8-bagger when I first invested many years ago and it's even more insufficient now.

We're all fed up so let's hope we are, at long last, in the final furlong. Why are you concerned about convincing the wider market Zanaga will be developed? Whatever unfolds will happen regardless of current Mkt. Cap. but I suppose an SP of 50p would make us all feel better and might even be a sufficient jackpot for some LTHs.

Millions of barrels are worth a lot more than the current Mkt. Cap. of £1.46m even if TOM has to give up 90% to get a deal.

10% of $billions is worth having.

Veteran10 - you are up and down like a bride's nightie! Why are you suddenly judging Zanaga by the SP performance which has NEVER reflected true value? It's a binary bet - it will come good or it won't! Add time to the binary bet and it may not be a bet worth waging. LTHs like you and me are keen on an early conclusion but you sound desperate. New top dog investors will be equally keen on a swift result if the price is right. If you've over-extended yourself then Good Luck!

I hope it doesn't drag on for another 10 years! I don't think I'll still be alive by then.

Mitch984 - it's a bit late to have doubts about Herr Knauth! Somebody had to be him - who cares if he makes £millions for doing very little as long as all shareholders benefit?

You're very devious BOTS_PROJECTS but I can't bring myself to say that any enemy of MM is a friend of mine! I'm too much of a gentleman which will cost me dear during the final days. Meanwhile, have you contributed anything positive about ZIOC on either board considering you claim to be a shareholder?

I'd almost rather read extrader by the yard than BOTS_PROJECTS idiotic posts but life's too short to read either! Agreed Mr Market appears to be not expecting a takeover offer anytime soon but it's surely in the interests of all shareholders so why not? Occasionally the stars align. When is the best time to buy an Iron Ore Project? Occasionally!

Apparently despite more buys than sells but who knows? I'm very depressed but determined to wait until ORR is valued on the millions of ounces of gold it is sitting on. One for the bottom drawer while I await my other get-rich-quick-schemes to deliver the goods. I could have a long wait and death may intervene. I can see my gravestone now "This crackpot waited too long for his jackpot" but what's the alternative? Spend all my capital and lose all hope?

Just for once extrader your wandering off the beaten track interests me! In short, I am an investor in Cameroon via my holding in ORR who are in dire need of a ZIOC-like transformation (but what difference has it made so far?) I think I've completely underestimated how difficult it is to do business in Africa. A reason to avoid the continent in future.

The recent £100k and £77k buyers will be wishing they'd waited! Still, what's 1p here or there? Quite a lot in percentage terms as I'm sure we all know. Are we stuck here until something happens overnight and trading is suspended?

Maybe Mr Market is looking ahead? Maybe worse is to come if Trump decides to double tariffs if he thinks he hasn't gone far enough? He can never win - worldwide consumers will boycott American companies so Amazon could well take a very minor hit. I feel sorry for Harley-Davidson whose products are expensive enough without additional tariffs. I can see them withdrawing from the UK after watching a YouTube video about their dealers going bust even before tariffs.

Thank you BIKWIK for the background details but I am still left with little faith in Martin's capabilities. I wonder who else applied for the job if he was the best applicant? If I were employing a CEO I'd want to read a CV along the lines of "joined XXX plc in 2000 when the company was valued at £7m and presided over a takeover in 2010 which valued the company at £200m". There's nothing on the ORR website to suggest Martin has enjoyed any spectacular success so far in his career and there's no mention of the massive decrease in Alexander Mining's SP during his time with them. And note that he didn't find another job as a CEO until ORR put their faith in him. At least he has extensive links to mining finance which could come in handy. Good luck to him and no disrespect intended but shareholders need a much better return than we've had so far.

With Canada stopping oil exports to Trump he needs to maximise the likes of TOM - amazed the SP hasn't responded.

Mitch984 - stop worrying! I prefer to believe in top dogs wanting to be seen to sell the Zanaga Project for the highest price ever! As if they needed to add to their CVs but it will still give them a kick in their own small world. And to be fair to shaun86 I don't think he ever claimed small shareholders would be "protected" if ZIOC were to be taken private. It's always a dog eat dog world but GLA!

All highly commendable but still jam tomorrow which is why we're all invested! I suggest Martin resigns and Eileen takes over command. Made me laugh when she acknowledges shareholders' "often sound advice" but I'm heartened by her wish to "continue to work towards achieving real value for us all." That goes without saying and the gold's in them thar hills and there's no reason why POG shouldn't hit $5k the way Trump's going - what a total idiot! American industry will be destroyed long before he can rebuild it.

My new shares were added to my existing holding today. Anyone who wanted to bank a profit would've sold all of their existing holding last Friday and bought back this morning. It's not safe to assume anything!

Shaun86 - you are so naive! Or just plain ignorant and/or completely out of your depth! If you think holding onto your ZIOC shares after it's taken private will not change the outcome for you then you're clueless. Irritating shareholders like you will be removed at the first opportunity by your new lords & masters. What I've noticed is that the shares NIPH has decreased by a significant amount which means we can no longer make extravagant claims about the size of the so-called free float. Another reason why the recent 100k buy didn't move the SP - it will need many more! I'm just hoping the top dogs will want to bask in the glory of selling ZIOC for an unbelievable price in which case all shareholders will have something to celebrate. Why there's not an orderly queue to buy shares is a complete mystery.

"Time to step down Martin as your last company dropped 200% when you were in charge." I agree Martin's a dud but it's only possible for a company to drop 100%. Whereas there's no limit to the rise if a company is successful. Does Eileen regret her investment? According to my calculations, Kutzz is now £105k underwater - does anyone know Eileen's average? She owns 81% more shares than Kutzz and must be feeling some pain. Best outcome here is a takeover or, failing that, generate some income and start buying shares back. All things being equal, a £3.27m buyback would double the SP.
