With no further news since April 1st the momentum generated by the outstanding MRE and the Economic Sensitivity Analysis in March has now dissipated somewhat. The sp has fallen back as traders have taken their profit and some longer holders, it seems, have lost patience and/or have taken some profit and likely moved it elsewhere.
The very spirited and promising announcements from Zeus have just confirmed what most lth's and others have already realised and most appear to be holding firm, digesting the further confirmation of the promise of this project. There is no exodus nor is there any massive inflow from institutional investors, or many new private ones, that is visible anyway.
Institutions are often wary of AIM stocks whilst they remain in a state of uncertainty of 50% or less in their eyes. They prefer the reassurance of certainty and they have many other shares in that category to play with for the next 6 months or so. Am sure some of them will keep SML on their radar over the coming months and return, when things firm up.
So for now the sp is going to do what it is doing now and meander around at its current price ,seemingly on less and less volume ,so it is likely that the sp swing will reduce with that.
Next news is likely the Cobre results, though unlikely to change the trajectory of the sp, just reaffirm long term income stream, Leigh Creek info unlikely until end of May at best and may not make big impact, depends how it pans out, and infill drilling results unlikely for a month or two either. So nothing too exciting is expected over the next month or so.
So we are in a period of slow news info and sp will languish where it is for a while unless other news comes along to affect that.
I had hoped that Institutional Investors would have been more evident after MRE but we will have to wait a while longer for them I think.
So for lth's it is just a time to sit tight again until the next chapter is unveiled, for others they must do what they think suits them.
