Interesting point on this Jez.

Colin: "This has great potential, it will be a mine in the future, we just need 11k copper price as there will be huge interest."

Jan 26: Copper price reaches 13,000. Yes, you read that right. 13000 per tonne.

Colin: ("Are you looking at me?")

I'd love to know a breakdown of the conversations he has had as the work streams he has been focused on for Xtract over the past 3 months. I have to guess because there is no news. No news in an entire quarter is almost criminal.

There are two options - either we're under an NDA due to exploding copper prices and we're receiving huge interest. (Likelihood

Ah the spin doctor cometh.

I do wonder if you feel alone being literally the ONLY person to be supportive of CB and how this company is run.

Do you ever wonder why NO ONE else is positive about CB and his methods? Is EVERYONE else wrong? Are you the ONLY one who can see the value being made here?

Of course, zap, we can all see the potential. That's why we're posting on the board and personally I've been here since 2018 or so. But do you agree that actual news (NOT PR because that is not to be trusted) for almost 4 months is UNACCEPTABLY SLOW?

Are you OK with news every 4 months?

I would appreciate frank answers to the above as I'm sure many others would. Mainly because you are the only one representing Xtract (Archer's substack is a factual piece about our potential - it's not news!)

Most probably Wilthew but

A) you never really know with CB.

B) the article by Mr Archer was at a suspicious timing - coincidence? Perhaps.

C) a pump and dump to 4p would be fine by me.

Think my average is around 3.5p now after I averaged down slightly at 0.65p.

Where are you Colin? A stonking RNS right about now announcing antimony being processed or an offer for BR for 20m GBP would give us a huge boost. Where are you? Let's be 'aving you!

Zap I'm still waiting for you to tell me what you're hoping for by end of H1 2026 and EOY2026.

Little bit condescending telling us to have faith when we're not clear what we're hoping for due to zero news and zero published strategy.

Pray (because it's faith related) tell me what I'm supposed to be expecting and by when?

I'm asking you because Colin is ignoring us on the above.

And I shall take your silence (like last time) to mean you don't know either.

Respectfully,

Ben

P.s. NTM - this time next year will now be 2027!!

And still no news.

No update since September is absolutely shocking. If any other listed company gave NO updates in a whole quarter, their board would be crucified to high heaven.

Colin gets away with it for some reason because he sold a mine 17 years ago and have some potential up his sleeve.

There is NO excuse for inaction. We have the funds. Get on with it man!

It would be nice if we didn't need to pay / subscribe to get reports which are evidenced / mentioned in RNSs

Utterly bizarre reaction to a very positive RNS.

This is our very first pin in the ground in Mbe North. The very first. The first hit, we find 20m at 3g/T. This will only get better with each drill as we learn more about the geology and where to aim. We have 4 more drills complete, one in progress and 4 others planned.

Other explorers recently have stuck pins in the ground and hit 1m intervals at less than 0.3% g/T.

This has legs. The board know it. Eileen knows it. The Cameroon government knows it. Claire Bay knows it. Kutzz knows it. Hopefully more and more people will hear that this is going places with such positive results. Hold for gold.

Mcshooter - you might need to update your share price / market cap estimates after the recent placing. 0.9p is not 30-35m.

0.9 is more like 45m. Makes a big difference as 1p would now be impressive at 50-55m and 1.5p-2p nigh on impossible (due to dilution) without incredible progress from here (2MT+)

I was encouraged on my occasions over on the SAR board to set sell limits. The presence of such a limit prevents our shares being borrowed, in theory.

For example, we could set a sell limit at 2p for December 2027 and that would prevent them being used.

(I can't confirm the above - I remember being told on good authority by knowledgeable posters)

Xtract gains momentum when Colin does nothing. Remarkable.

Two options, there is something going on and we are about to have some very intriguing news. That could either be Antimony related, BR or Silverking.

My suspicion is it's more likely to be Antimony as that's the one in progress with workers supposedly active. Drill results at Silverking have taken far too long to be processed so surely there's nothing there. An updated study at BR is not going to set the world alight.

Or it's Market Makers and traders making their portfolios more impressive for EOY targets, on which their bonuses are based. I would not put it past some individuals to manipulate a few stocks to make their balance sheet more impressive.

However, there is a reason I'm still here despite recent negativity and that is the copper price and the inevitable boom of electrification and increased demand for copper. Colin has been calling for it for a while. The missing piece in the jigsaw is of course any kind of exploration or progress with mining, of any kind. The last piece gets completed and we could be going places.

GLA.

Of course this website lets me down.

Re antimony price. Does anyone have a reliable source for the price? I'm struggling to find latest information.

Good posts and rebuttal this morning JD - credit where credit is due.

Afternoon all, hope everyone had a pleasant and peaceful festive period. Mindful it's not over yet, but I'm back at work and the markets are open.

Copper is (still) at all time highs with LME quoting 12,162 USD per tonne.

Now would be a lovely time for an update in either BR, Western Foreland, Kakuyu or even Morocco (different market - from what I can see, prices are 3-4 times higher for antimony. Can anyone find a

Thanks BoD! If you're reading this, appreciate the updates before everyone forgets what day it is and are half asleep for a week.

Well done on all the hard work in 2025 and have a good break before we crack on and hit 1.5p in 2026. I have also sent a brief email to this effect (without the Share price wish).

To other holders, have a good break. We're in a good position here with a huge amount to look forward to in 2026.

Lots of potential here. Potential the operative word.

All we're asking for is some tangible sign that exploration is happening. That's all. See Oriole's RNS today. Notifying shareholders they are progressing with drilling.

Over 3 months since an update on Antimony update. Almost 3 months since Silverking update. An update which included phrases like "work is ongoing" etc. Well? What happened?

Q4 has been utterly ignored and put to the side. Imagine a company you work for putting out ZERO updates in a WHOLE quarter.

The Comms is unacceptable, the lack of actual exploration from an exploration company is disgraceful.

Still keen on hearing milestones timelines from Zap, bearing in mind there has been nothing (so far) done in Q4.

Logging off for Christmas now - seasons greetings etc. Atb.

Thanks for the reply NtM.

I know full well we won't get any accountability or clarity in terms of milestones or expectations from CB or Xtract.

It is precisely because of that fact that I would like a vision or roadmap from the one person who continues to defend the progress and decisions made by CB.

I don't see JDAU's views as being worth listening to. Attacking us for not understanding is not the way to conduct sensible discussion. The less said about the utter drivel that OSV spouts the better.

On the other hand, Zap comes across as a reasonable logical and thoughtful individual. Which is precisely why I'd like to probe his expectations as the one logical defender of the great man and in full understanding Colin himself won't be forthcoming with such facts.

Perhaps Colin's supporters are absolutely fine investing in "potential" with absolutely no idea of when that will blossom into something material, i.e. some meat on the bone and some dollar in our pockets. Hence my question. I will repeat the plea at regular intervals - apologies if it begins to grate. Atb.

Very exciting times for those invested in gold. We are active and well on our way to unlocking the 1m (GBP or USD? Need to check) success milestone payment. This would put off additional dilution for another 3-6 months.

2026 is going to be very exciting. GOH can you please outline your timelines for an exit here?

What do you expect sp to be by end of H1 2026 and EOY2026?

Do we expect the BoD to look for further JVs which would therefore complicate matters with multiple partners, Managem, BCM + One other. Also, another JV would put off a possible purchase by another 2 years.

I would imagine BoD won't look to sell for less than say 1.5p. £60m is my minimum for them I reckon and therefore we are at least a year away from that.

Thanks in advance and merry Christmas all.

Long suffering xtracters. New phone doesn't understand bird and Xtract go hand in hand with "long suffering".

It will learn soon enough.
