Zagra is in 2 contiguous areas to the north east and south east of Zagra as far as I can determine. Magura Neagra is the mountain which is outlined as national park Calimani Piciural is in the flatter area to the NW of Zagra - there is info out there if you are prepared to do research

Amxdd -There is no safe rocket :-)

I doubt they will place soon - £6mil in the bank directors buys at just below current s/p - maybe early next year if no contracts are added, but turkey's don't vote for Xmas - Directors buys @ 13.3p

v111 - OK I see your point - we needed to get rid of SSGI and then we needed cash to get to funding and we have needed cash to get the diamonds - no revenue recently - AP takes BIG risks, but if he pulls it off there are MASSIVE rewards - VAST is an ordinary AIM junior, costs the same, but assets are off the scale - I still maintain VAST is a compelling investment - risky yes it's AIM, but the upside is off the scale.

But surely the "US customer" did DD and liked what they saw - I think Apple pulled out due to their own problems not NANO's - but it's not likely it will ever be known. I have been following NANO for a year and this seems a great opportunity - new partners will come or the directors would have not bought in IMO

v111 - what do you think VAST do with money? - they placed 4 weeks ago £900k - maybe you could explain why they need cash right now? - it was RNS'd the placing was to carry BP through to finance.

Rhambo - can you provide any evidence that NANO is "clearly not undervalued"? - before the "major customer" arrived in Feb 2018 the MC was much higher than now s/p was around 25p no placing since then - so logically the company is now better placed with product development etc. to move on - 20p target short term - 6 months to run on US customer contract £6mil in bank - I think NANO is a good investment at 14.5p

Screenlearner I am looking at L2 Peel Hunt are buying at 14.05 ish for some time - if they weren't filling an order the bid would have dropped, and it could when they finish - IMO short term it could go either way longer term I think 20p+ is on the cards

Looks like a big order being filled for an institution - retail selling II buying - wonder who is right!

"Speaking to Great Dyke News, on the sidelines of the Parliamentary Thematic Committee on Indigenization and Empowerment tour of the diamond firm in Marange, Acting Chief Executive Officer Roberto de Pretto said the company is set to produce 10 million carats by 2023 from joint venture operations with other companies."

We are potentially one of those companies and as VAST has most of the experts from Zim working for us (ex ZCDC CEO etc.) it puts VAST in a very strong position to be a major player in the Marange diamonds over several concessions in the future

I am not blaming anyone? never said anything about blame? another Fantasy presumably!

Please review any of my posts and as I have stated previously I stand by every one.

I never predicted 2p only said it was possible if we got BP licence and finance and that was the case.

I will give you another fact - if we get the diamond concession and finance for it we could easily get to 2p in the near future. The diamond fields are massive millions of carats worth $bn's.

Facts not Fantasy!

Fantasy - please avoid personal attacks - it makes you look even more of a buffoon than you do now, - you misquote me constantly, as I keep having to say in response!.

I state possibilities based on facts and always caveat what I say - I said 2p if certain criteria were met!
Your like a stuck record

Facts not Fantasy ;-)

Dodge it was the fact Merc didn't give us tranche B that caused the s/p crash - that was their decision and they know BP was a profitable mine as they had done the D/D required.

Manaila will be a profitable mine when the processing plant is built on site - this is a fact.

Merc caused the problem by delaying and then cancelling Tranche B - I do not believe it had anything to do with VAST or it's assets it was a corporate decision as they were restructuring and shifting their business away from metals

Dodge - it is not a "slim chance" of getting the diamonds, we are just waiting for final sign off - anyway your decision whether to hold shares but IMO its almost certain we will get the concession - AP is highly regarded by the ZimGov and VAST has 13 years of working in Zim, we have been the largest investor in exploration in the country in that time.

The historic claims are within the judicial system and separate from the ZimGov, they cannot resolve it alone - I should think if we get the concession things will start to move with the historic claims - anyway more important is getting the concession and starting to mine it this year.

I think VAST is a compelling case for an investment - like it was in early 2015. We are on the cusp of achieving something that does not happen very often to small mining companies - cash generation from a world class asset worth $bn+ - I can't think of another AIM junior who is in the same position and with an MC of £10mil

The share price means nothing and the market is wrong a lot of the time - VAST is complex and not easy to understand - anyway if we get diamonds and funding I am sure the market will respond.

Well BP is a great mine but the diamonds are multiples of 10 better (revenue wise) if we get to mine the concession.

There are some very bitter and angry posters on this BB right now spouting a load of rubbish.

VAST is a company with several (potentially) world class assets and if a few things fall into place will 10 bag at least IMO.

If this is going to happen, it should soon - I am confident that VAST is a great investment, both short and long term.

I have held VAST shares for 5 years and IMO the company is in the best position ever. GLA

buko - there was no contradiction in my post - I was simply saying I back a company I invest in 100% until I decide otherwise - I have made criticisms of the BoD in the past, but I feel Andrew Prelea is doing a good job, or I would have sold and moved on - i.e. not spent the rest of my days trolling VAST and anyone who actually thinks it's a good investment.

You have to ask why a few posters who claim to have shares (or have had in the past) hang around and make up rubbish, attack posters in a personal way. If that's how you get your kicks troll on - fine with me, but must be a lot of work and odd how some seem to enjoy it?

Troll definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll - sums it up!

Each to their own but if I am invested in a share I basically back the BoD - I cannot see how you can slag off the CEO and BoD criticise every +ve poster and yet still buy in for a "punt". Anyway I back AP and the BoD to deliver on the fantastic opportunities AP has presented to us.
The current s/p is a pain but the assets are worth 10+ times more, (with diamonds multiples of that) I trust AP and co. to accrete the value to the s/p - been in shs like this many times and have seen the rises . Risky? of course - if you invest in AIM don't go crying when the s/p tanks - it does in many companies and often for no reason - look at NANO - 30p to 6.5p in an hour ;-) the market is wrong many times and it is with VAST.

Knee jerk - selling? looks like you and that other poster Nightingale are trying to get a lower entry into a great company - your unlikely to worry anyone at this s/p - should have done this 6 months ago ;-)

No, no further info cos you know nothing :-)

Really do you think VAST shareholders are that stupid?
