You can suggest it Jerry but that doesn't make you right.

What do you say to the industry speculators who say Alpala isn't economically viable and the current SP overvalues SOLG crudely against it's peers?

If they are onto something then we're all in for a load more thin...

I've had a quick skim of your posting history Rich3r. You're up when the bulls are in and when they're not, you resort to the view you have now... where is my premium takeover???

Am I wrong?

He's just an investor who knows what he knows and understands his own edge. It's easy to see how miners and explorers don't fit his investing model.

Fair play to him. One man's loss is another's gain.

So come on RichyRich - elaborate on what you would do differently to develop the project in order to protect and enhance your investment?

Rich3r - "stifling legitimate debate" is simply disagreeing with you. There's nothing big or clever intended.

You only frequent this board to take a swipe at someone or something, usually management.

It's very valid to suggest you should deploy your cash in management you trust over those you don't, but you don't seem to like that suggestion for some reason...

Thick and thin RichyRich1?

Jeez - there hasn't been much thin! Numerous intercepts of the best gold/copper porphyry anywhere in the world, the biggest mining companies jumping on board and funding us further, a fantastic streaming deal with the largest streamer that sees us through the expensive studies and a regional portfolio to get really excited about.

The only thin I think I can level with is the attempt to get mining banned in Imbabura, but that was soon quashed by the constitutional court.

This is where you look at the geezer's track record Quady.

What we're seeing right now in my opinion are his learnings from Orbis Gold, but unfortunately people don't care unless they get their 80-100p this year. Dreamers.

Sell the rest please ssmith. You've done nothing but moan for years when caught offside on your trades.

What happens when the economy sinks following the financial impact of Covid-19 setting in? Good luck with all those better investments that will start tanking across the board...FTSE over 6500 looking toppy to me...

Exactly BN.c

All those threatening to sell out because of such shocking management... go ahead. Don't let the door hit your a** on the way out.

All over a smallish placing that has corporate reasoning other than to raise cash.

The way these people carry on you wouldn't know we're all invested in a resource exploration company in a third world/developing country.

Yet you register for here on Friday Robert just to stick the boot in.

Very transparent.

The Alpala target has been substantially drilled and we're 9 months away from completion of final studies and an investment decision.

Huge progress has been made. Anyone who says different clearly lacks understanding of the business and the asset.

Yes, Jerry. That's far too quick.

The aim here is to build a major company providing there's no predation. That takes far longer than 2.5 years.

No investment is guaranteed, so with respect you should lower those expectations slightly.

Tos1963 - you're missing the point.

SOLG aim to become a producing major in Ecuador, not a rinse/repeat explorer.

Can only be placees in at 7p or someone takimg a sizeable loss.

Pipkin - got your message but cant read it as don't have LSE premium. Give me a shout on twitter.

D220 - agree with you about raising equity down here.

However, the strategy for me would be to concentrate on KSZ and (hopefully) increase value through a discovery there, all the while maintaining and carrying out low cost exploration on the KCB.

KAV would have a lot on to move both projects forwards at the same time, particularly in these capital markets.

Why would you apply for licences only to give half away D220? Agree though that they are building a nice portfolio of licences in the area, which given the fairly recent discoveries is encouraging.

The plan for Kavango will hopefully be to utilise their knowledge and experience in country to carry out early stage exploration on these licences whilst the more technical work continues on the KSZ.

I would hope that any JV on the KCB is after a discovery of significance.

Have you seen the "first pass" results from Zaranou from January and February Cherryburn? Stage 2 drilling is ongoing now and providing the results are in line with expectations it's likely the team will embark on an additional 30,000m shortly, weather permitting.

It's good to hear of your experience in country with Tietto Minerals.

Maybe desperate wasn't the right choice of word Addicknt. I should have said that you favour a takeover.

I'm in agreement as far as Cornerstone go but suspect it's a necessary evil to achieve financing on sensible terms.

I'm not convinced this has anything to do with taking NM at face value.

I think this is simply a case of being desperate for a takeover vs being happy to build a major.

Those preferring the takeover are beating their fists over the Cornerstone bid because they know that comes first.

theiceberg are in unfriendly hands now. They have been in those hands for how many years? 7? 8?

We have made clear that we're open to giving them an opportunity to swap their equity for ours and they rubbished it within hours.

What makes you think anything has changed?

Company made a rod for their own backs with the translation excuse IMO.

BBG covers the position well. We can only acquire them when they want to be acquired.

*a mountain out of molehill for what is a nothing issue.
