I cannot understand what all the fuss is about. Why is 'Trying' picking on Sandhopper over such trivial matters. I know that Sandhopper has researched this Stock "inside out" there is no reason to get all twisted up. Like alot of Companies in the Finance sector RAB have f****d up and the Market is suffering because of the likes of these twats. The taxpayer has bailed out Northern Rock and it's good we don't have to bail out every single irresponsible company such as these. Let RAB cash in their remaining Holdings and take a running jump. Soon we shall see some good news regarding the pouring of GOLD and all shall be happy.

The Company is due to announce its final results for the year ended 30 June 2008 later this month.

Grant of Options__Energybuild Group Plc, the AIM quoted Welsh anthracite producer, announces that it granted in aggregate on 16 July 2008, 7,500,000 share options to executive directors and senior management under existing approved and unapproved share options schemes. These options are exerciseable any time after 16 July 2010 for a period of 10 years at a price of 30p per share. Rhidian Davies, Managing Director, and Karl Picton-Jones, Finance Director, have each been granted 521,739 options under the approved option scheme and 978,261 options under the unapproved option scheme. The Company has also received final approval from HM Revenue and Customs for its Employee Share Incentive plan and it is the intention of management in the near future to make an initial award of free shares under this scheme to those employees on the payroll at 6th August 2007. Chairman Colin Cooke said, 'These are the first schemes made available to the Energybuild executive directors, senior management and employees. The Board believes this is an important component for incentivising and retaining these key individuals as the Company continues to make excellent progress in developing the Aberpergwm drift mine and opencast operations in South Wales.' Additionally, the Company is due to announce its final results for the year ended 30 June 2008 later this month.

Identity and Access Management industry to boom, said RNCOS 11 Sep 2008 According to a recent research report by RNCOS, The identity management services industry will grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.3% from 2007 to 2011. The increase in identity fraud is the key driver to the boom in the industry. Such crimes cause billions of dollars which further increase the demand for identity and access management globally. The trend of increasing demand in the industry also brings automation to the processes in management, thus increasing the complexity of the system. High security identity usage and web-based services will be increasingly popular as the requirement from the customers heightens, with integration of efficient protection in administration, authorization and authentication. As a result, spending on identity management by customers, big or small enterprises, will increase to a significant level which enables the industry to sustain in the coming years. Biometrics, as one of the many ways of identity and access management, will also benefit from the growth of the industry.

It' a give away ! Cambridge Mineral Resources plc is an AIM listed mining and exploration company focussed on becoming a producer of precious metals with an output equivalent to 100,000 oz gold per annum. Primarily targeting precious metals in South America, its strategy is to acquire established resources at advanced stage exploration or near term production and develop them to economically mineable reserves through further exploration. It has a strong portfolio of mineral projects at varying stages of commercialisation including its two key projects, the Quintana gold mine in Colombia, which is anticipated to commence production by the end of 2008, and the Rasuhuilca silver-gold mine in Peru. The Company also has a portfolio of assets in Europe, which it is currently in the process of seeking to divest through either joint-venture or sale.

Just reading the company said the proceeds will be used for general working capital, adding that it aims to bring its key project, the Quintana gold mine in Colombia, into production by the end of this year. This is good news in my book and the role of becoming Producer rather than Explorer is what we have all been waiting for. Have increased my holding over recent weeks and I consider this a good Investment. The Market may well be ' wobbly ' but there are risers every day and CMR will join those ranks in good time. I think Sandhopper meant to post STRONG BUY not Sell. As we all know if the mouse moves it's easily misposted. Hang in for the ride up!

KBC Advanced Technologies Plc. posted a doubled first-half profit, and said it is confident of strong growth during the remainder of 2008 and beyond. It added that non-executive director Ian Miller will succeed Christopher Powell-Smith as chairman, effective immediately. Powell-Smith will retire as a director at the end of September. For the six months to June 30, 2008, the energy consultant's pretax profit jumped to 2.85 million pounds from 1.38 million a year earlier, while revenue rose 33 percent to 24.45 million. It hiked its interim dividend 40 percent to 0.35 pence. During the period, new contract awards increased 39 percent to 27 million pounds from the year-earlier level and resulting workload backlog increased 17 percent to 35 million at end-June 2008 from 30 million at end-December 2007.

Keep the hope up, this is for sure going to return to former glory. The Market is so unstable and it's not worth worrying about good Stocks such as CBM on a daily basis. The World has a vast need for these products and patience will pay off. Of course, this is just my view.

Forgot to add, as Sotw mentioned nice to see the Questor mentioning RCG in the Sunday Telegraph. Well researched articles and comment in my view.

Hi Crest, hope you're well too. Yes, I saw the Link and looking forwards to seeing things settled at RCG. As mentioned and I know you'll agree there is infinate scope for the future of this Company in an expanding industry and we know they work hard. Not about much at present but keeping the odd eye on things. Take care.

Expanding Market will offer great potential for RCG see____http://www.rcg.tv/____

Hi Gemma, just a matter of time. After seeing a slight rise and then a drop back to 1.13p to Buy I bagged a few more. Cannot see the SP staying this low for much longer this is a good time to enter if any others are thinking about it.

One step at a time is the Cambridge policy, though, so investors will be very encouraged when Colin can confirm that production has actually started at Quintana.

Initial exploration on La Rosaleda project started in May 2007 with a surface-prospecting programme. To date Cambridge has identified over sixty old artisanal mine workings that reflect the three main structural trends seen in the district. In addition two currently active artisanal mines nearby are returning grades of 6.89 grammes per tonne gold and 57.6 grammes per tonne silver over 0.9 metres. Colin Andrew is therefore planning to move La Rosaleda to the drill ready stage by the end of this year. In the meantime a road is being constructed to allow drilling to start on the Colina Negra and Chingale veins, with the aim of testing them at depth. Any success this programme delivers should lead on to underground access development for an exploration/production programme. That in turn should lead to the definition of resources to permit the commencement of a feasibility study to look at turning these veins into the second and third mine developments. This explains why Colin still has doubts over the batting order for his next mines. He points out that a lot of lessons have been learned at Quintana. He now has a total crew of 90 working in this region of Colombia, including miners, engineers and geologists, so development should be completed a lot faster next time round. Some very high grades have been obtained from exploration of the Colina Negra vein system and prospecting results from the surrounding areas have identified five areas for further exploration. One step at

running at 24.58 grammes per tonne gold and 19.85 grammes per tonne silver in the measured, indicated and inferred categories, and giving a total of 86,822 ounces of gold. The mineralisation is still open along strike and at depth below the deepest drill intersects, so there should be more to come Quintana, La Rosaleda and Colina Negra are all on the Frontino gold belt in the Antioquia Province. It’s a region that fully justifies Cambridge’s attention, having historically produced approximately 45 per cent of Colombia’s gold, with mining ongoing. This belt is claimed as one of the world's greatest mesothermal gold fields. The Segovia-Remedios region has produced an estimated eight to nine million ounces so far, and all three of Cambridge’s projects are within 20 kilometres of it. At some stage, therefore, it will make sense to have a central processing plant as this will accelerate the time within which other small mines can be brought into production..

However, Hichens Harrison, the broker to the company, points out that the feasibility study completed by the company in June 2007, which was based on a gold price of US$600 per ounce, indicated that the initial capital expenditure required for a 50 tonnes per day underground operation would run out at US$4.54 million and that the average cash operating cost over the life of the mine would be US$131 per ounce. An operation running as lean as this would cause a sharp intake of breath in Australia, where costs have rocketed due to rising fuel and labour costs, and the strength of the Aussie dollar, but in this part of the world small, high grade mines of this sort can be run very efficiently. Provided Cambridge conforms to its production target, it will still get reasonable exposure to the current gold price, now at around US$818 per ounce. The Quintana vein is a mesothermal quartz-sulphide gold vein dipping at 40 degrees to the east and averaging just over one metre true thickness. A 10 drill hole programme completed last year proved the existence of the vein 300 metres down-dip, and returned higher grades than seen so far in the mine and also generally better true widths. Underground development has been completed on three levels to more than 100 metres down-dip from the surface. Combined with the drill programme, this work has enabled the definition of a JORC compliant resource statement which has defined 109,852 tonnes running at 24.58 grammes per tonne gold and 1

Not a lot has been heard from Cambridge Minerals of late, but Colin Andrew, the managing director who returned from Colombia over the weekend, assures Minews that things are going to plan and that the Quintana mine should be in production by the end of this year, even in spite of the fact that the rainy season there has been the worst on record. As there are only four months left in 2008 it is reasonable to assume, therefore, that by 2009 the company will have made the jump from explorer to producer. The initial annual production may be modest at 15,200 ounces of gold and 6,000 ounces of silver, but needs must when the devil drives. In this case the devil is money and Cambridge has always been short of cash. The plan is to bring a sequence of small mines like Quintana into production in Colombia with the cash flow from each contributing to the development of the next one. Funding for the development of Quintana and the next couple of mines has come from a hedge fund called Bluecrest Capital Management, said to be one of the biggest in Europe mines, even though a decision has yet to be made as to whether the first of the new projects will be La Rosaleda or another project called Las Pepas which is part of the Colina Negra project in the same area. As might be expected from a hedge fund, the agreement between Bluecrest and Cambridge involving up to US$15 million to fund three prospective new mines in Colombia is neither simple nor conventional. Phase one provided a draw-down o
