Plenty of opportunity here for double entendres but it's a serious matter. The outcome is life-changing for so many of us. And it's out of our hands. Just hope I won't be posting a comment after the Investor Event which quotes Johnny Rotten's final words after the Sex Pistols final gig: Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Good night!

Good luck with wearing blinkers - something no horse would recommend. Sad to see QED shaft their investors - surely it couldn't happen here? I don't think so. Why would TOM need more money from shareholders after everything that's happened but WTFDIK? If TOM hits 10p I make £1m - what are the chances? Who knows? Even 1p is £100k and much more likely. But imagine selling @ 1p when it eventually hits 10p! Oh, the gnashing of teeth would be deafening... I said the gnashing of teeth would be DEAFENING!

Golden Rule: steer clear of any company that just keeps issuing shares however many the top dog subscribes for - you are financing his lifestyle.

Reminds me of "Where are the customers' yachts?" which a yacht-owning stockbroker failed to answer.

You're doing your best but where are the investors?

Welcome back Peterfal - your first post here since 3 October 2023 when the SP was 9.5p!

What a damning indictment of Mr Elphick who has only been doing his best. Anyway, I can only agree with your comment on 26 April 2023: "Potential SP here is nothing short of astronomic." We'd all like to think so! Meanwhile Mr Market ploughs his own furrow - if he has got ZIOC wrong surely it will be the wrongest he's ever got it?

“We have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth, and we are going to use it – let me use it,” Trump said in his inaugural address. “We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it.”

Something to cheer us all up: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/19/the-new-gold-rush-why-the-precious-metal-has-lost-none-of-its-allure

A downward spiral's very hard to stop. ORR could be sitting on the biggest goldmine ever discovered but what difference does that make? The Lanstead deal is once again not doing the SP any favours but why would it? Temporarily ORR got the benefit but not now. Huge downside for no good reason!

Never seen so many posts on a Saturday before! And I don't like the sound of "spitballing"!

"450pps is apparently based upon the updated NPV for stage 1 of the project, and the current number of shares in issue: USD3.7bn / 1.22 / 676m = 446pps."

Just to correct my learned friend StarBright: 450p is half beardozer's 900p prediction which was partly put forward on the grounds that if you never ask 900p you'll never be offered 450p! Job done. beardozer relies on intuition rather than doing all the sums. It's funny how they often meet! Within the next month or so there will be a jackpot in some way, shape or form. Expect to be disappointed! It won't be the buy-out we're all hoping for - God is never that merciful!

Don't waste your efforts on MAJWandCo., extrader! He is wilfully ignoring any evidence that contradicts him (not to mention the Bigger Picture). And why is 450p "fanciful"? It's still a fraction of what the Zanaga Project could be worth. If it's Chinese money that buys ZIOC then it costs them next to nothing! They print however much they need. Another point not mentioned so far is what happens after ZIOC is sold - where's the next huge iron ore deposit? I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

"-- if Tomco doesn't receive a dime of help with this funding package, they still benefit greatly because any progress in the area will help with their ability to get funding" Precisely! 1p by Xmas? There are 77 billion barrels of oil in the vicinity - if TOM can find a tiny fraction of that we're laughing!

You are turning a bit "preachy"! Hope you don't turn into a mini-MM! God forbid. Meanwhile, ZIOC fails to hit the jackpot until it does. We are certainly in strange territory - to get from 8p to a 450p takeover offer is a big jump! Afterwards questions will be asked.

Be fair extrader! You don't have to be fearful, uncertain and doubtful to invest in ZIOC but it comes with the territory!

Wonderful analysis MinorMiner - it has put me off ever investing in AIM stocks again!

With my ZIOC jackpot rapidly disappearing before my very eyes all I can say is wait for the bottom and then go large. Obviously the bottom won't be apparent until the SP starts to rise but there may be a plateau lasting several days where it might be wise to call the bottom but WTFDIK? Not sure anyone should be investing in Gold but the difference between cost of production and selling price is worth investigating.

Maybe the blind and impatient have made good calls?

ORR is in big trouble. As apparently is SLP - just read all the recent comments!

Maybe everyone's right to be sceptical?

Agreed it's a short-term view but nobody's going to seriously buy until there's a serious uptrend.

Much like extrader I appear to like talking to myself! GLA!

I posited 900p but I'd be eternally grateful for 200p - the faceless conglomerate is welcome to the 700p difference!

Having said that, if there's a genuine auction a highly-motivated buyer might bid higher than 900p. We'll see.

On the grounds of not acting in the shareholders' best interests.
