Good for you!

Fantasy - we have a nomad - they scrutinise every RNS and everything else - if you have a problem with that take it to them - I think you will find it's all legit

Fingers - the major share register shows shares held by entities that have to disclose their holdings - if no TR1 is required to be disclosed by the II who took part in the last placing it will not be shown on the register. SVS probably hold 15% of issued shs IMO the new II holds 6% so many shs are untradeable (or unlikely to be is 21%) and that is a bonus IMO . I can understand why many PI's are upset as they are down on their investment. However AIM co's have nomads and their job is to ensure factual and price sensitive info is released to the market. There is no problem with news right now - it just cannot be released due to the sensitive nature of VAST's projects - which involve governments at the highest level.
Personally if an II chooses to issue a TR1 or not is irrelevant - we know an II bought as it was RNS'd .
Send your emails to our nomad, the company or the FCA if you feel there is a problem .

The rules re. TR1's are available here https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/DTR/5/?view=chapter

No DeBeers left due to the risk - they didn't and don't need it - VAST however do, VAST have invested more into Zim mining in the last 15 years than anyone - Alrosa is probably political, in effect they invest $15 mil over a few years - VAST will put more in in that time IMO.

VAST are going to get diamond mining concessions in the Marange district IMO and we still have outstanding claims from 2006 - they will have to be resolved at some point and again IMO it will be soon.

VAST is way undervalued - taking dilution into account we should be at .4p+ based on the .7p prior to acquiring the BP licence a year ago - we are now so much further on, with diamonds almost there.

A major rerate upwards is due soon IMO.

I have as many shs as I have ever held and I for one am confident VAST will become a hugely successful mining company - I have held for 5 years and will hold for another 5 (probably) - VAST is on the cusp.

We don't need Rio or De Beers, pay back on Marange diamonds is weeks DYOR

These things take time 2P, it's all still going ahead or it would be RNS'd - IMO the news we have been waiting for re. finance should be soon. Also the Marange concession will be given the go ahead soon. I am going to give the company a bit more time - the assets are worth the wait and based on any sensible valuation we should be .4p+ now in any case - just low sentiment right now. That will change soon as the long awaited news flows.

I have held KZG from Brady days on and off - I think this low s/p is a good opportunity to either average down or buy. I have never known an AIM company RNS no reason for a drop in the s/p, only a rise - probably a distressed seller from the last placing. If there is any bad news it has to be RNS'd, so we have to assume there is not - not over enamored with Larry, but the asset looks good.

Fantasy you spout more BS than anyone, you are constantly abusive and aggressive to other posters - no constructive posts atall you cannot even justify your negativity - VAST is going to be a great investment IMO due to the fantastic world class assets the company holds.

Fantasy - you misquote me again and again - I said nothing of the sort - I said shs in issue matter not - I did not say dilution was unimportant - if adding to the value of a company it is positive, if not it is -ve - but your agenda completely ignored my valid points - you are obsessed with knocking VAST - why I ask? - do you have some sort of manic obsession?.

Chill it will all be good and I stand by every post I have ever made.

I do not feel the need to personally attack posters so why do you?

Let us see old boy - let us see!

I totally agree Sandy - shares in issue mean nothing - it is the true value of a company that matters and that can differ from the market capitalisation by a huge amount - we are priced at £10 mil approx, which is 75% less than the highs of last year yet we are much further on in asset development. Forget shares in issue!

Hoffy - I am sure you were aware of the potential but we are in a minority right now - let's face it you have to be aware to buy/hold VAST shares as sentiment is pretty low.

I am confident all is going ahead - if not we would have heard about it by now.

Banks take an age over DD etc. and the news about Alrosa getting a JV with ZCDC is very positive for the Marange diamonds IMO.

Based on MC pre BP licence nearly £40 mil we should be .4p+ with dilution since then and we are much further on with development of assets.

Potential is 10-20 bag on current assets if it works out and we get the diamond concesion and funding for that and BP.

VAST has never had so much potential and looked so promising.

Strong buy for me.

Hoffy - these things take time, it is a large bank apparently, they do plenty of DD - I am a patient investor - for my long term holds I do my research and wait - I am still very positive about VAST - as I have stated on many occasions the assets are world class and they will deliver shareholders immense value IMO.

To be clear Marange is a $bn+ asset if we get diluted 20% or more to get it - no problem, as gains in M/C will offset any dilution by many times.

Mor 16 - well it's like MU with VAST we're gonna score more goals than you - you get it or you don't!

I know you carry a heavy burden with your investment in VAST (for us all) and let us know all the time about how rubbish VAST is, but fear not Fantasy - I am sure you will be fine - as previously mentioned AP has delivered 100% and will continue to do so IMO.

The number of shares in issue are unimportant - VAST received £900k from a placing at the beginning of June - I think they will have funds for another couple of months (at least) without any further placing - cash burn is $200k a month approx and we are laying a pipe and electricity cable - so a few months before further cash required - If funding was not going ahead we would be informed, so it is presumably.

The Marange concession is also still going ahead and that is a $bn asset - MC under £10 mil - strong buy IMO

Totally agree Sandy - AP is VAST, he acquired all the assets and has already - if you don't like what he does why are you holding VAST shares?

Don't forget this Fantasy - AP always delivers.

Daz I know it's not easy - I did this research a few years ago after we got Zagra - it's two large areas that have been resource estimated under the Soviet system which is apparently accurate - they even went to the trouble of mining to see what was there!
The licence areas are available if you do research - cannot remember exactly how I got them as it was 3 years ago
