Also spot on and hny to u fella long time no see .hope ur well mate ....yes it's somewhat unusual that some of the newer recruits to the board ...haven't done so ...and whilst we all realise they can't do so in any closed period ...I can't believe we have been in one continuously for the past 18 mths or however long it is ... As for now however I see that despite the quoted spread (151-160) the evidence would suggest that with a couple more buys the price will rise ..as I've just done a dummy buy and sell and its still 156.4 to sell and still virtually 160 to buy ...all good stuff and copper at 2.646 get in there u beauty

Copper at 2.638 last time I looked so even with a 3cent rise that's another 3million on annual profit if it stayed that way for the whole year and it just might ..interestingly and for purely selfish reasons on behalf of all those invested here , if that potential strike action at that huge mine in Chile was to occur.. I think the ripples that would send out and the likely impact on the copper price could be quite huge for all concerned ...added to that there are 27 other mines I understand who all need to renegotiate deals this year alone so watch this space ...just over 5p old money and star delta good post fella spot on ... if u do decide to come back in here ..then fingers crossed it's well worth ur while fella ..

There are just so many positive factors out there at this minute that it hard to see how this is still only 142 let alone the 122 it was a few days back ffs ...going back to the funds raise at this exact price we were a million miles away from where we are today ...with us now at full tag the plant completely up and running ...off takes for 15 years is it only 121 million shares issued ...with only about 20 odd percent in free float ...the copper price at 250 the dollar strong, euro weak , us now earning 5 million a month in revenue , we are due an €8 million grant ... our working capital costs are covered , our costs are dropping all the time as scale takes shape ...and with a production up date due which should be good news one hopes ...and then all the financials to follow ...... If all that isn't enough then it defo appears that the outlook for copper looks even more promising than it was a few weeks back with deficits now forecast as demand is maintained but potential supply problems could prevail ...resulting in even higher copper prices to come ... so i just don't understand how this can't re rate very soon ...cos even with Astor that's barely an issue whatever the outcome ...so roll on the next update and just imagine what one big buy would do to the share price then ... a great weekend to u all fellas ..

How can it be ? As pointed out elsewhere the bid yesterday had been lifted 4p on virtually no trades and I too was quoted 124 for 20k + which told u something was afoot ...and then this morning up another 3-4 initially and now at 138 .... as we've always said any buy order if of any size ...with liquidity as it is ....and the price would surely have to rise to tempt people to sell so as to fill the order ... So if that is the case then going back down to 100 ....would have been as likely as Trump winning the presidency ...no that can't be right lol ... but who gives a flying ? Have a great day boys

Happy new year fella and U may be right about ur 100p cos ever since Malkis first appeared on here with his "tips " I've now changed my tack to thinking literally anything is possible ... but on the point u raise ...is it already factored in ... as we did see a tidy drop on the initial announcement of the news earlier last year was it ? into the 80's as I recall from about the 100 mark ... but that was when copper was priced at about 2 balloons and a whizzer ...and we were still only dreaming of being at full tag capacity ...at the time ... Add to that some justifiable concerns over how exactly the working capital funding scenario was to be resolved and the result was Alberto 1 The Market 2 But that was then ...and we've come a long way since ...we are completely unrecognisable from the old Emed and Alberto has been simply awesome ..he is the Kevin de Bruyne of mining engineers ...imo The 64million dollar Q though ...centres on the contracts terms and conditions and the courts interpretation of them ...the terminology is crystal clear and whilst I completely accept we have definitely sidestepped triggering the clause ...that's not the issue... it's whether we have breached the clause and clearly we haven't ...so it's a definitive no ... although may I would say that ...time will tell and very soon hopefully ...Fortunately ...we could now stand it financially even if it did surprisingly go against us with us now generating income streams of 5 million a month or so I understand . It may drop to 100 i grant u that but even at 122 i think it's an absolute steal and I tempted but right now I couldn't guess which way a lift was going and I had 2 choices ...HNY fellas and hope u all had a fab one

Haha good question ...not in terms of share price maybe ....but in all other aspects it's got to be right up there ...the really good news though ...is I'm not gonna repeat it for 2017 even if it's looking like it could be ... In fact So much so I can honestly say I would be totally bereft of any optimism whatsoever... if this time next year I was not looking at a share price considerably higher than it is now ... if ever there was a good time to bet on the red metal it would certainly appear to be now .. but who really knows ?? We can but hope however . so 1) I would just like to wish all on this board a very happy prosperous and healthy 2017 as the latter of those 3 is worth so much more than the formers ...and 2) to tell Small Holding that his posts are second to none his insight is so wise his rationale so balanced and he's just so articulate ...mate ur a star ...thank u ur a great guy all the best fellas have a great one

That's encouraging although I'm not at all sure that anybody remotely takes any notice of what any broker says these days ..but cantor Fitzgerald have started coverage of Atym with a 217 p price target ...what are we 123 ? Right ....

lol ... one and all ..that should be ..sorry

Great news is that today IMO as it's now official ...albeit share price reaction so far muted ...is that a surprise ? Not really as most rises occur before the event unless something unexpectedly positive is revealed that no one knew about ...and I don't think that's happened has it ? The annual production for 2017 is perhaps a tad less than I had thought ...and dividing the total fig quoted for 2017 it is theoretically only 11 months work which defo seems to be playing both safety first or holding back the throttle ... for whatever reason ...and then of course there is the news about not paying the contractor until 2018 which I interpret as good news for 2 reasons ... 1) firstly u would have to say the contractor must be pretty damn sure he's gonna get paid otherwise why do that ? 8 million is a fair wedge to defer 2) secondly it's maybe an indicator as to how Alberto sees the global copper situ panning out in another 1-2 years time ... I think I recall him stating that he thought copper would retrace back a bit to 2.30 early doors 2017 but then would stabilise and Go back up again and inferring the 3$ level would be feasible either later this year or early next If that did occur something like ...it augurs very well for all of us and whilst yet again it wasn't the most upbeat of messages it has to be considered that whilst the Astor cloud remains it's understandable u wouldn't be giving a deluded Brendan eulogy at this stage just yet ...so onwards and upwards one hopes and tbh I feel as sure now as I've ever done so that's no bad thing ...festive greetings fellas and all the best to one bad all

Well yes there's a tendency to think that people are just getting mugged off looking at the volumes and patterns today ...with a few delayed trades held back for starters and then the price tumbling 5p on nothing other than ..... nothing really ...fair play to the MMS though ..they're smart cookies those guys as they know full well ...there's always someone willing for a shilling ... To add further insult it is possible that if it drops any more tomoz old muggins here will be adding my contribution to their Xmas party methinks Just over 4p old money.....it is totally unbelievable Jeff lol

That man or woman who has bought 20000 at 132 ...I hope u make a packet

I don't know about that fella I think they just update it as and when something changes and hopefully that's gonna be any day soon when they declare nameplate capacity ... Alberto did say by year end ...cos if we were at 98% end of Nov we must be there by now ...albeit they would want a sustained period of output at that level I guess before confirming it in print ... That news should also trigger the Long awaited eddy Grant for €8 million which has been lying in abeyance for what seems a lifetime (no wonder he didn't want to dance ) but timing wise if it does get paid out now ..would be spot on... So the fed increasing rates ... having the effect of boosting the dollar and weakening the euro ... more good news for us ... the copper price maintaining its 2.50 plus stance for the whole of this Qtr means that Qtr4s figures will be ground breaking to say the least ... it finally seems a decent time to be in here at long last ... maybe I can live the dream one day soon ...festive greetings fellas

I've just done a dummy buy and it's asking 145 and so far it's a fair bet today's trades are all sells yet the price to sell has actually gone up .. I've just noticed a pretty sudden spike in the copper price for reasons unknown and I m guessing there is a background buy order that's gone through but not announced yet

There is a brilliant piece on another board by SH who summarises far more eloquently than I could ever do .. but his sentiments almost exactly mirror my own thoughts on where we are right now and where we could be heading ... and more relevantly it provides an intriguing insight as to what it could mean potentially for us as personal investors . I think most of us agree that It's pretty clear Alberto is an out and out Do ..er and as this project is now up and running he probably feels its job done and let's move on to another challenge ..wjich is fair enough I suppose Added to that Trafigura are clearly the key player and they quite rightly will have noted and valued the brilliant job he has done to date so it's inconceivable they wouldn't want to use his skill sets to further enhance their own ambitions as it's a total no brainer ...so that implies to me that AL will have been given informal/implied agreement for all his recent expansion comments ... but the big Q is ...when will this happen ,how will it be funded and what implications are there for us ? There are many possibilities and for the longer term I have no doubt that it could potentially be bang on and furthrrmore it's no bad thing to have a forward looking plan and be on the front foot at a time when the tide appears to be turning back in favour of miners and their sort I have to say I'm somewhat torn myself as I would have liked to have seen us build on this venture first get some cash in the coffers and then move on but that's maybe far too simplistic and the views of others would therefore be welcome ..exciting times none the less ..all the best fellas

2 decent buys right at the end there 30k and 35k ...that's encouraging ...conversely a classic case of that's timing for u ...3 hours ago it was 132 to sell 24k now more like 142 ...ouch that's a big hit ... but that news about the Chinese economy powering along can only be good for the likes of Atalaya ...it may also be production news is imminent ...

There u go son ...it will happen fella trust me

I know mate it is frustrating but like all these things u know that real value will always out itself in the end ...it must surely be imminent they reveal we are at nameplate and that's another block in the wall ..as red Pete says at these figures it's 254k a day and huge revenue streams at. 2.60 copper prices and the cash we have made last couple of months almost extinguishes the need for the working capital option we took from transamine so it will reflect in the price very soon fella ...it has to

Typo- Vod -that should be predictive text for u lol

I don't blame u mate it's a total no brainer with Bod in a trading range at 185-235 and just over 190 with a 6% yield I have to admit if u wasn't so heavily into the black horse I would do exactly the same ...good luck fella u seem well set to me with that combo

There u go a 5k sale first thing as prob expected ... goes into a negotiated trade I would suspect ..and the seller ends up with a price outside the actual trading spread ....but immediately the effect it has pushes the price down with 1 sale and the spread widens accordingly ...malkis will be back filling his boots pretty soon at this rate
