And you still haven't answered my question about what the 'incident' was to cause you to carry such a grudge for such a long time?

Plenty of newsflow coming in the days/weeks/months ahead...on several promising fronts.

Fully funded for 2025 operations.

Just because we are between news at the moment doesn't mean there's nothing happening.

Low volume today after another day of high volume yesterday (double the average), so today is a perfect day to buy and wait.

Ooh did you get personally offended then coco? Are you and James one and the same poster...just with a different account?

Rumbled!

How many AIM gold explorers do you know that updates the market constantly with their cash position? Name them!

By the way its ok for you to be insulting and patronising with comments like 'Is it a hard concept to understand? (must engage brain)

So what was this grudge you have based on, or have you got the same backbone of a jellyfish like coco, and not willing to say as it might show you up for poor investment/trading management?

It wasn't a trading update or interim report....it was the annual AGM... it's for voting on proposals!

Are you new to this game, or just another FUD spreader with a grudge?

What exactly is your grudge? Was there an incident with one of the Directors which lead you to bear this grudge?

Your deramping is cr*p!

Looks like I missed the last few trades in my volume data feed yesterday.

The volume was 55m, not 35m! Almost 3x the average.

Lets hope its another good day above average.

...that when the market decides to assess the projects, the potential, the assets, and the plans...it is clear that its a risk/reward very much worth taking.

The AIM market is a minefield, full of hope, gambles, and despair...with junior miners promising great potential, with diminishing hope and running out of financial runways.

ECR are a different animal, they have funds, they have assets, they have high potential for shallow alluvial Gold production in the coming months in Blue Mountain(at $3300 and rising), they have the potential of increasing Antimony results with imminent drilling this month at Baillieston

They have the MGA tax loss sale still bubbling under the surface.

They have the Maximus deal potential in Canada, at a price of .33p, with the other party locked in to a 12 month agreement, 'the recipients will agree not to dispose of any Ordinary Shares for a period of twelve months from issue, provided that disposals may be made if the VWAP of an Ordinary Share calculated over the previous 10 trading days to any disposal is not less than 0.5 pence.

Todays volume is 35m, against an average daily volume of c20m.

Just goes to show that if you listen to the grudge bearing FUD spreaders, that have an agenda, you can miss the details in the company's plans, and the overall picture of what is actually happening.

Those decent buys today can see the picture developing...too many active positives to ignore.

Hmmm, imagine that with production ramped up to two washplants!!

First target has to be the gap close at .31p.....then who knows with all these active positives, including Gold at $3300 and rising!

Thats.....v o x markets

MW confirms that he is not a geologist :-)....but Mike Parker is! And Adam Jones has an excellent local knowledge.

Wow, coco must have been focused all weekend to come up with all those non-questions and made up negatives.

Can you imagine his distress if this 'bulge' turns out to be fat with Antimony and Gold...the market will go mad for it and poor old coco wont know which way to turn!

And there IS an incident/issue that he has with MW, he just hasn't got the beans to declare exactly what it was.

Never mind coco, you could always buy some shares at this ATL zone before the FOMO really kicks in.

They weren't lying when they said the didn't need a placing.

The game changed as they went in to negotiations with Octo, and a placing at that time was the right move to bolster their position in negotiations, as the sp was higher.

That move was clever, and it now allows ECR to be fully funded for all planned projects in 2025.

Coco has been sl**ging off MW way before that happened so can't claim that was the reason for his grudge, and when his grudge against him is bought up on here he goes quiet for a while until the discussion changes.

So Coco, what was the incident all those years ago that turned you in to such a venomous sniper against MW? Have you got the backbone to come clean and reveal the details...or are you afraid it will expose your own failings and mistakes within whatever happened back in the day?

Did you buy too high?

You don't have to put yourself in a legally vulnerable position, just point towards a time when MW was involved in a certain company and I'm sure the internet will provide the story.

Yes, at some point the market will realise that the projects are not all about Doc, and his history, and that Nick Tulloch, Andrew Parker, and Adam Jones have the biggest say in what is happening on the ground.

Some people must have had a negative experience back in the day with Doc, and now bear a timeless grudge with him and anything he is connected to.

But lets be clear, investors, and particulary erratic investors in the AIM market looking for a fast buck, look for any reasons why their decisions have lead to losses...other than their own failings. Did they research enough, were they too impulsive and greedy, were they too immature in the stock market world? They want to blame anyone else but themselves for their losses, without looking in the mirror.

Did they do their money management, did they employ stop losses, did they risk more than they could afford to lose!

Its a very powerful and painful lesson when you gamble and lose.

So now, to get their own back they stalk their prey, and troll anything they are connected to...the grudge bearing FUD spreaders!

Sad really.

For the rest of us who do their due dilligence on a company, ECR is in an exciting position.

Read all of the RNS's, and tell me they are going nowhere!

1. Antimony results from this months drilling.

2. The tax losses situation, which could still attract new interest, particularly if number 1 is exciting.

3. Blue Mountain production set up and gold revenues coming in.

Fully funded with no low ball placing needed.

Well I do, and I've been invested/following/trading since the Stephen Clayson days.

There are very promising plans for 2025, starting with drilling for more Antimony this month, putting a production plant onsite at Blue Mountain this quarter, and aquiring Maximus Minerals in Canada for £500,000, all paid for in shares at 'not less than' .33p, also in this quarter, and, 'Under the orderly market agreements, the recipients will agree not to dispose of any Ordinary Shares for a period of twelve months from issue, provided that disposals may be made if the VWAP of an Ordinary Share calculated over the previous 10 trading days to any disposal is not less than 0.5 pence.'

To name just a few projects in their sights....not forgetting the huge tax losses implications however they wish to utilise them.

Directors still taking the majority of remuneration in shares, which, following the recent property sale of A$225,000, is the reason they can say that ECR is fully funded for 2025 operations!

Now with the still rising to new all time highs price of gold, whats not to like?

Probably why some savvy bigger buyers are getting on board today...before the fomo kicks in.

Yeah well false dawns could also, maybe, be attributed to shareholders having overly optimistic timeline expectations.

Their stated frustrations on lead in timescales is balanced by the fact that they planned to drive multiple avenues rather than just concentrating on one. So it was always going to be a drawn out process.

But I think most of the hard work has now played out, and its time to look forward to a rosy future.

I would just like to add, that as a charting and technical analyst, the signals are showing a very favourable entry point.

The sp is at a significant support level, the daily stochastics are way oversold...and now rising, the candlesticks are showing reversal indicators ie a very strong (dragonfly) hammer on Wed with high volume, followed by a drop yesterday but with low volume, and now better volume today with another good candle to the upside, breaking above the recent short term down trend since the commercial update.

The market has been hesitant with the tangerine twonk across the pond and his tariff fetish, but that shouldn't have any effect on Opti going forward.

Opti's progress is on their products being acceptible to the global brands and efficacy in the substitute sugar market...etc!

To me, its a matter of when, not if, Opti's model and products are accepted in to the global (targeted) food chain.

Been following in my watchlist for a number of years and keeping up with progress, but recently I have upped my research to get a good overall picture of how the company are doing.

Liked the recent commercial update, and how they've concentrated on developing multiple markets exposure, with multiple products.

Record orders at the start of 2025 gives some confidence of that continuing to grow, possibly exponentially!

A lot of time has been spent with global brands on incorporating SweetBiotix in to their products, that says to me that its only a matter of 'when' it happens, otherwise why would these big names spend so much time, effort, and money to pursue if they didn't plan to bring it to market.

I also like Opti's investment in SBTX in particular, which is currently worth multiple £m's alone, and with a strong looking chart over there it gives great financial support should Opti decide to utilize the option to sell in order to finance development of products and securing deals whilst targeting being cashflow positive in 2026.

So with the recent retrace down to the strong support level at c15p...after the recent update, I decided it was time to take the plunge and get onboard.

I think this could be a good year for developments and announcements of strong progress, with a limited need for further placings and dilution to maintain a prosperous position.

The risk/reward, all things considered, is very attractive, on a Mcap of just £15m, with access to many millions in investments to realise should they need it.

SBTX share chart looking good for 2025.

A clear bowl pattern (saucer or rounding bottom) is about to be completed, with a first rim of the bowl at c30p, and the base of the bowl at c8p. The sp is now approaching the right side rim with the sp in a strong rising trend, currently at 25p but with a recent intraday high of 26.5p.

Once price breaks above 30p then that should provide a good support level.

The rise on the right side has been accompanied by strong volume, so looks like Opti's holding should increase in value significantly in the coming months, and maybe as high as £10m+ with an easily achievable share price of 50p!

Not a bad safety net of funds available for use if needed.
