*Buy / Sell is judged on the basis of the trade price in relation to the mid-price at the time the trade is published, e.g. if the trade price is greater than the mid-price, a purchase is assumed. Large trades can be subject to a delay in publication which may result in an unreliable interpretation.
Good!
Hi @costa, Yourself and the others i named was in a positive light. I won't be drawn in to naming those in a negative light.
In terms of BOD shareholding i have a right to be concerned here as the below is rather lacklustre. We have differing opinions which is fine, makes for healthy debate albeit in reality we have a shared goal. Good luck, i hope this gets us both to where we need to be.

Hi @Costa. Happy to discuss some of my points and your questions. First of all i'm not going to name people as everyone entitled to their opinions. That's what makes a healthy chat board so people can take balanced views and happy to reply to you as you haven't tried to be derogatory like some other reply's. I've been a holding (and adding to) this stock since Feb 2019 so pre pandemic. This stock was heavily ramped around the first lockdown where there were lots of investors selling off from the traditional FTSE 100 & 250 due to orders hitting and tumbling prices. This stock, Eurasia, Petropavlovsk in particular attracted the "pandemic investor" as well as across a number of other sectors like renewables the likes of ITM, Ceres etc. This has trapped alot of what i call the crypto investors and shorts alike who were here for a quick buck and are now selling at losses as they are graph gamblers rather than researched investors.
The main point of my post which perhaps i didn't articulate as prominently as i should have is i'm disappointed with the boards holding and lack of response to nurture the share price and acquire more stock particularly as the price to many seems so lucrative.
The other main point is there is an impatience with many investors here. The perception i get (And this is just my opinion) is that on the eve or RNS it feels as if many are hovering over the sell button to bag their profit and move on, similarly the perception i get from many posts is people are extremely reactive/devastated by small negative percentage movement which if they are in it for the long haul which so many claim would be of little interest small negative percentage changes if they believe in the company (Which i do).
I wouldn't read anything in to the word "carefree" for my sins i'm a chelsea fan and carefree is our signature song.
Finally a rampy post for me is someone bigging up news that may come out tomorrow then acting heartbroken when the news doesnt move the shareprice forward enough. (there is alot of that here) Yourself Hydro bamps and others have articulated the numbers quite well from all the drilling results we all see which is good however there is alot of repetition of the same numbers which we all know and people seem to think an opinion or post has no merit unless we repeat what i hope we all should know.
@diverboy, Not really sure what you mean, i did make my account today here to post. i have had no reason to sign up before. I use Barclays for my platform and find their research centre a good tool. I read the chat board here as i value some of the insight from some posters. EG i like alot of the analysis from Hydro and some others. I thought i was pretty open it was my first post in the post? Just because my content maybe doesn't suit your agenda shall we just pretend i'm a bot or some other conspiracy?
I think you must have read my post wrong, There is upside here, alot i beleive but its not going to happen overnight. There's a huge impatience here from many as if they have a golden ticket they can cash in very soon. Reality we are in a transition from an explorer. Thats why i'm holding. People need to be prepared to stick in for years to realise strong gains which is what i intend to do here
First time post for me, i have been a long term investor in this stock and have a healthy holding. i'm a regular reader of the chat board although haven't contributed before. I have chosen now to contribute as i somewhat really question if many on this chat are actual investors or paid rampers as what i read regularly as an investor i find frustrating. (No offence meant but will explain my thought below)
First of all this stock seems to have attracted the get rich quick type of crypto investor, Its heavily ramped and people talking about 10x plus is a little delusional. Unfortunately the consistent over ramping has attracted people that can't often afford to invest so plough their money in expecting a quick buck and due to financial circumstances then have to sell their stock when it doesn't materialise in their time frame.
Secondly there seems to be the perception that this is undervalued just now. in reality its not. This isn't the world best kept secret, we all have the same tools to diligently research our investments and we are where we are as people are choosing other stocks to add to their portfolio over this one. If this price is unmissable then institutional investment funds and private investors alike would be buying like theres no tomorrow. We are where we are on price as thats what the market dictates we are currently worth.
Shorters, this seems to come up alot and although i agree with some of the sentiment (also reasoning outlined above) i think there is unnecessary jealousy around some shorters tactics. The reality is although its not for me shorting this stock would have been highly profitable and the 2,3,4X gains would have been achieved by many shorters. so lets leave them be, all stocks have them.
One of my biggest concerns is around our leadership, i seen many posts ramping the podcast delivered by Sean as if it was important. In reality it was nice but not important, the concerning element is the lack of shares both Shaun and other directors have in the company. Investment funds like to see a healthy holding in the leadership team (Although not as many as Meeson has in Jet2). With Less than half a million shares the majority here has a larger holding than the captain of the ship. This is a huge concern for me and i'm sure others.
As a long term investor i have realistic expectations particularly with rising Cap-ex costs before we start realising product from the mine's i have orders for sell in at 18p, 24p, 26p and 28p and limit buys in at 10.5p 10p.
i think it will take us a couple of years more to get back to the 30p mark as other sectors recovery in the pandemic means the gains and dividends are strong elsewhere for those with a diverse portfolio.
Just my thoughts - i think the unhealthy ramping keeps attracting the get rich quick type which is further hindering organic SP growth. Lets keep the insight flowing but the ramping is getting tiresome. This is a slow game, and a long hold.
