IMO we will get the diamond deal done soon and Atlas funding sooner.

Not quite true the MDC have been invited - https://www.zimeye.net/2020/01/19/mdc-invited-for-the-uk-africa-summit-while-mnangagwa-was-snubbed/

He might! - I agree though AP talks BS at times, but he also delivers and that is the contradiction and probably why the s/p is up and down all the time. The funding deal is not the greatest on AIM, yet we will probably get the diamonds. Swings and roundabouts.

You just proved Sarah's point - you do not discuss you just insult me - what's the point in a discussion when you offer no factual argument?
I don't wish to waste my time trading insults with morons.

ORT - I support a CEO until they fail to deliver - BB discusion does nothing in reality, it's more like group therapy, that's why the trolls show up as they can have a bit of sad fun trying to wind up the believers.

Sarah IMO, BP will be a profitable mine if it is set up and run properly. Revenues will be decent, but we have had some serious dilution over the last few years and the effect of BP is less on the MC than it would have been in 2015. The diamonds are massive and will generate 100's of $mil over the next few years if we get to mine them.
gkb - you think a placing is on the way? We have a funding deal in place, maybe you can give me your opinion as to why we need a placing?

Daz, so Lee and I "spread poison from within" :-)

No I give my opinion on a share, I have no more access to any member of the company than you, I go to meetings and ask questions - it's not difficult just takes time and effort!.

I have held VAST shs since 2014 and made some money on the way (as have many).

Please refrain from condemning posters you really know nothing about and who happen to be generally positive - just my opinion of course!.

VAST will do very well going forward (if we mine Marange) and even the deramping morons know that!

Well in 2 years much has changed - if you know your VAST history 2 years ago SSGI had a stranglehold on the company we had $4mil of debt and a BS showing $28 mil of historic debt - we had PP a gold mine that was producing revenues, that we would not benefit from for many years and we had a couple of mines in Rom. PP has been sold and we now have a way to mine BP and the funding to do it. We also have a JV for a diamond field at Marange which we have funding for when the ZimGov get round to signing the MOA.
VAST is in a far better position.
I am not saying the past 2 years could not have been handled better, but I do not know the whole situation (like most PI's), but we are in a better situation overall and if we get production form BP and Marange next year we will do very well.
Basically we are in a totally different (and better) position.

BP - cold commissioned and running up to production early 2020

Funding in place for BP and diamonds when they are signed off

Diamonds due at any time

The potential revenues are off the scale for a small AIM company

I hope all VAST investors have a great Xmas and happy and profitable 2020.

The future is bright!

not .5p, .05p :-) still a 3 bag from current s/p

Every dog has it's day and this dog was trading at .5p a few months ago - undervalued now IMO

IMO TLW is well oversold - £1-1.50 in the next month or so - oil stocks get battered in the current on any bad news, this will go up though and if Boris wins the market will rise and so will Tullow. (no fan of Boris am I however)

None of you have a clue what you are talking about - why not google it rather than talk *******s! https://aim-watch.com/articles/overview-retail-service-providers/

The Company had net assets at 31 January 2019 of £2,175,000 (31 January 2018: £3,110,000) including cash balances of
£543,000 (31 January 2018: £449,000).
Sale of UKOG shs 11/3/19 - Gunsynd announces that it has disposed of 31,171,898 shares in UK Oil and Gas plc ("UKOG") at an average price of 1.405 pence per share for a total consideration of £437,966.
Placings raised £500k less costs and directors bought at .037p in June
They spent $130k on Oyster shs and then here is working capital requirements, but they don't burn much.

So they have over a £1mil in cash IMO and in today's market that is pretty good for a tiddler and there are loads of assets needing investment right now and tight money supply.

Another good RNS - ALS has to move up soon!

Hi Ripley - I did buy some - pretty loaded up though - it has to happen soon1

Fantasy, you cannot run a mine without power or a way to remove waste to the tailings dam - these are now complete, they have been working on BP ever since the licence was granted, upgrading existing equipment etc. Whilst I doubt full production will be attained until later next year mining operations will commence around Xmas. Obviously we will not be getting the equipment from China this year but that will not stop commencement of mining - next year it will build and build and we will have a very profitable asset.

I think VAST will be mining BP around Xmas - the power is sorted and the tailings pipe, there is probably enough working equipment to start operations

or a couple of quid!

Maybe not was hoped for but a 50% drop on no news? - finished 35% down (ish) still overdone IMO
