Completely agree PCS. We started dosing in February. In fact we were informed on 17 February.

Let's take Monday 16 February as a starting point.

16 weeks takes us up to.....this week! We are currently in week 16.

Completion of week 16 is supposedly tomorrow.

Agree, why do we need to wait until the end of the month?

737 on licenced for £1m up front with payment on first dosing etc etc. I think I would verge on Pampisford with a pitch fork and bring an egg or two to the AGM

(This is a joke but would reflect the frustration)

Second patience = faith!!

Thanks potnak. I admire your patience I really do. I still have the faith, just my patience is < than my patience 😉

One of these days, we'll get some actual news.

We have had 2 news specific RNSs since August last year when our Receptor AI partnership was announced.

One in October telling us the tox studies had been discontinued weeks before.

One in Feb telling us it's been restarted.

To say we are operating in a barren landscape is possibly an understatement.

I don't really count yearly and half yearly results RNS as news - they are legally obliged to provide a comment. It's not actual news.

Get on with it lads. Dying of boredom over here. And before anyone says these things take time or some ridiculously defensive statement - this lot have been going as it for 20 years and we're still here.

I want to know what we're getting from our US business partners. Are they adding value?

Buy sell repeat -

"expectations that the Cameroon govt will do the right thing."

The most important driver for any government will be $$$

Approving our licence brings investment and opportunities to make $$$ for the country and if you like, $$$ on the side.

I'm not insinuating that would be their motivation but if it were then it would also be a reason to approve a licence.

Money and income is a motivational driver. Period.

I also question what you mean by "the right thing."

I don't expect efficiency from Cameroon at all.

But Martin and the team have evidently understood the best way to engage the authorities. They hire local workers. The team on the ground is full of Cameroonians. They have had meetings with the head of government.

This would be the first proper gold mine in the country.

Some call it first mover disadvantage - we are probably having to work with officials who aren't fully cognisant of mining language. But the way Clare and Martin speak I do think they are respectful and diplomatic in their dealings with the government.

Ultimately the government will want inward investment. To not want this would be ridiculous. A mine would bring jobs and raise tax revenues. It might take some time but we'll get there.

Ultimately if they screw us over, it will absolutely put off other exploration and mining companies from doing business in Cameroon. The big guns will absolutely be watching how the government behaves...

Obviously postman. Obviously.

Postman's specialist subject on Mastermind: the blooming obvious.

0.38 paid although some berk with the £23k sell has stunted momentum.

If we can just all agree this is going to 1p, we can strap in and enjoy the ride...

Big sell this morning of £41k.

Guessing this just follows aim patterns of drifting upon no news.

Just trying to time my entry point. Given it's been up at 12p recently, sub 7p seems reasonable although 41k sell plus 9k and 7k today isn't ideal. People are moving on.

You really aren't good at comprehension are you JD. I said literally "I suppose not all plates are going to stick."

My frustration, as ever, is with the heightened expectations that CB presents us with. WF was bigged up like others before it. 10p Zac, it's a big'un Zac, no doubt we have 2MT Zac etc etc

Also, quite simply, bore off. Your criticism of any rational analysis of progress or statements here is ridiculous.

Will add WF and Chilibwe to the Eureka and Kalengwa trash pile.

Logic would suggest Kakuyu will also follow suit.

If you spin enough plates, one of them might stick i suppose. The frustration, of course, is telling us we have caviar on said plates, and it turning out to be baloney...

Any thoughts on this? What's the latest cash position - does anyone know?

Will be watching the interview with Charles Archer. Been flagged to me via the Sunday roast podcast.

And if it's 1 out of 3, we're going for the positive RNS right? 😉

He's the messiah!

Good posts this afternoon guys.

I completely agree. The fact they *KNEW* for several weeks that it had been pulled and did not inform the market is not acceptable and I would like to think that it has been completed.

Lessons need to be learned on comms, funding options (god forbid we ever need to rely on River fort) and our efforts to market our stable.

Lots of potential here, but once again (or just as always) it really depends on whether the BoD have the business acumen to get us over the line when it really really matters.

Gla.

Tbh we are 100% up from 6 months ago?

So I'm not surprised people have said, thanks Colin, I'm out of here. Not a bad return for 6 months.

I wish I'd stuck in more than £2k at 0.6 but alas it wasn't to be

Interesting re BCM. You might think 38m USD wasn't much but there was 25m USD in staged payments over 2 years.

PLUS gold was maybe half the price it is now.

Interesting.

*Taking his projections with a pinch of salt will though...

Good point Andrew. It works both ways, which some won't appreciate. Constant positivity on the board does no one any favours. Realistic analysis taking Colin's forward projections will though.

I'm one who bought (more) at 6.1p way back in the day.

Why?

Possibly because he said he'd tell AA to stick it if they offered 10p. On record.

But I'm also someone who topped up at 0.64p.

So someone who believes the project but doesn't trust the cr** that CB sometimes comes out with.

He's not the Messiah, he's a.....
