On Sunday, or maybe before, there will be a ROAST explaining how wonderful and marvellous Morocco is and that you are all so very wrong!!!!!

Quick guys, get over to XTR, apparently Morocco is the place to be!

Everyone knows that politicians have two words surgically removed from their vocabulary, yes & no!

For Colin Bird the two words were, shareholder & return!

Quick guys get over to XTR, apparently Morocco is the place to be!!!!!

Prickly, you are not actually suggesting that shareholders might see a return are you?

CB invested £20k in Kendrick and "sold" a bit of BZT, both RNSs.

Why not here I hear you ask!

Roast think he is blooming marvellous!

But what do they know?

Alright nurse, I'll stop now.

C'mon guys, you haven't been listening to the Roast, everything is blooming marvellous!

Sorry nurse, won't do it again!

Could be they looked at the performance of other Colin Bird companies!

"CB should be trusted in weighing up the risks in making these kind of deals"

Perhaps he has and over at TIR has deemed that TECHNOLOGY, not mining, is the way to go!

Be interesting to see how quickly the mining holdings are disposed of!

Check the shareholder views on BZT and GLR. Same story.

LittleWing,

Well said.

Funny how investors in BZT, GLR and XTR are of one mind.

KEN is moribund and AFP a bit quiet.

TIR off away from mining into technology. New toy!?!

Colin really does need to start paying some attention!

Howezap,

Lukonde Makungu from Cooperlemon is also a Director of New World Metals Ltd, along with a lawyer from Cooperlemon and two of the Roast PR guys, so what is that all about?

Please don't tell me Colin knows nothing about this although not a director himself!

Did anyone else pick this up from the last RNS, particularly the second sentence!

"As set out in the Zambia Mining Cadastre on 7 October 2024, Licence 22118-HQ-LEL is a large-scale exploration licence covering 27,203ha in the name of Chilibwe Mining Limited ("Chilibwe"). The Licence was granted on 7 February 2018 and has an expiry date of 6 February 2025. The Licence is for cobalt, copper, gold and nickel."

and yes, I have read the next paragraph in the RNS.

Irish,

No one can or is denying the Kiwara deal, it happened and made Colin Bird, and others, very rich. That was 15 years ago.

Since then the feeling I get is that he has been trying to replicate that deal, or something similar. But right now he is a "one hit wonder".

He has 5 mining companies, AFP, BZT, GLR, KEN and XTR. He also has an investment company, TIR, which very recently moved, £3m worth, from mining to Technology.

Indeed he has also had downright failures, BMR comes to mind, plus other projects.

None of his mining companies is currently showing any positive level of shareholder return. Indeed the chats on this forum indicate a level of disatisfaction, amongst his company's shareholders, with Colin Bird's communication with shareholders. You may argue that no news is good news or that there simply isn't any news, but that doesn't help!

We all want Colin to succeed because that is the only way, we the shareholders, will make any money. If you are a shareholder and do not want to make money what the heck are you investing for?

The recent share price move at BZT is good news and hopefully the start of a signifcant improvement, we all want that.

But as you have said, on another board, at least two of his companies are "dogs"!

As always, DYOR and don't invest more than you can afford to lose!

Was BZT but not much to back it up.

New World Metals Ltd fascinates me! 2 x Roast Directors, 1 x Chilibwe Director and a Cooperlemon Lawyer! Can't believe that CB wasn't aware/involved although not a director. Question is what is this new company for?

CB a bit busy over at TIR with new Technology, not mining, interest.

All on the books probably at a loss. Worth less than 10% of the new strategy fund raise, not in line with the new strategy so why would they be kept? Sentimental reasons?

Or is CB expecting them all to be multi baggers!

Presumeably they will be dumping, sorry, selling, all the existing investments, all CB mining companies!

Will it happen? Look at TIR and see what Colin and Raju have just done recently. £3m raise for Technology, not mining!

Maybe Colin and Raj are getting out of mining altogether!
