Agree and disagree! One cannot argue that a 70% increase in one day is not a strong reaction to the recent news. One has to remember that this is AIM and some caution is required. As you state one only has to look back at the many spikes in ZIOC share price over the last 10 years (and extreme lows) neither of which were justified but this is AIM (I remember one memorable evening many years ago when I made $40k selling on a spike to 25p. I was in a hotel in lovely small town called Merimbula, south coast NSW, whilst on a trip to Oz from Scotland). The resource is also in a far off land with a tenuous respect for law, order and commercial agreements - this undoubtedly had delayed investment decisions by multinational mining firms (the resource would have been developed years ago if it was in Oz).. One thing that has also been impressive for an AIM company is the management. The dilution over many years has been minimal compared to some disastrous AIM companies I have previously dabbled in. Additionally, as other commentators have noted, the management discretion in forgoing 65% of their remuneration is very impressive. This action suggests, despite the many hurdles, that remain, the 'finish' line for ZIOC is probably approaching. Like others I have also taken the opportunity to complete my 'top up' after todays retrace to 9p. I believe a steady rise is likely over the next few weeks until more news hopefully electrifies the share price.
