Hi Add

Thanks ….. got something similar a couple of days back

“Its worth reading them just for the smile they bring”

Whatever floats your boat I guess

Hi Pad …. Precisely

Hope all good

Bozi …… pretty much agree with all of that

Eloro

I’m fairly certain BHP would be far worse.

Scott had a lot to put right and it takes time. Voting him out would be utterly stupid IMO Let’s see what fruit his work may bear in the coming few months.

Yep …. And they’re not giving anyone any reason to buy either

Agreed Fort re this price suiting some.

It does render the 100m+ CGP shares way less effective.

Hence Scott’s comments and other speculation re potential offtake deals

Hi Red

Us being the exception to the rule seems to be a recurring theme

“Growing opposition to extractive activities in the past two years, the country’s Chamber of Mining has highlighted, is blocking nearly $1 billion in potential investment and 100 projects for the next two years.

An exception is SolGold’s (LON: SOLG) Cascabel copper-gold project, which was granted in July a 25-year license renewal”

Merger in Ecuador (Adventus & Luminex)

Nice mention for us at the end too

If it ever came would the second payment also be classed as a divi or would that depend on whether Ctag continues to exist?

Political risk still there but greatly reduced ….. Scott getting boxes ticked …… copper looking to be on the up.

It’ll come ….. but no one will bid low because it will be rejected and no one wants to become a stalking horse

Lasso addressing serious energy deficit in Ecuador before he leaves office ……..

Plenty of hurdles to overcome and obvious geopolitical issues but we are getting there

“ The Chamber of Mining highlights that, despite Conaie's mining opposition, the Government signed key investment contracts, such as the contract with Curimining for the construction of the medium-scale Curipamba-El Domo mine, in Bolívar. The terms and conditions contract for the exploitation of the Cascabel concession, in Imbabura, was also signed with the Australian SolGold. This is projected to be one of the largest copper mines in the world”

I think Noboa was the best result as far as miners go

This was an article a couple of weeks ago that I found summed it up quite well

“ The Noboa administration is anticipated to lay a strong emphasis on extractivism during the first 100 days in office. Extractivism is an economic model based on the principle that the exploitation of natural resources like oil, gas, and minerals is crucial for national development. Ecuador is a nation rich in these resources, boasting some of Latin America’s most significant deposits of gold, silver, and copper. Noboa’s approach aligns well with this wealth, fostering a setting that could fuel economic growth through natural resource extraction, and he has placed this at the forefront of his plan to close the fiscal deficit in the country”

All very true Red

Following the AGM, the LSE- and TSX-listed company’s board will be reconstituted and a new chairperson and board committee memberships will the appointed.

SolGold has nominated Adrian (Steve) van Barneveld as nonexecutive director. Van Barneveld currently serves as a general manager at a leading provider of minerals processing and associated infrastructure solutions to the global resources industry.

“Following AGM, we believe it’s the right moment for us to step aside, confident in SolGold’s ability to further advance Cascabel and the ongoing strategic review on parallel paths,” comment Twigger and Clare in a joint statement.

SolGold is in discussions with several groups interested in the Cascabel copper project, in Ecuador. The firm reported last month that it had more than 20 active confidentiality agreements in place.

Fort if Scott was voted off the board he can stay on as CEO so no need to pack any bags

Sean exactly…. No pockets in a shroud

Morning Bob

I’m happy for Nick to stick around. He’s about the last connection remaining with the company I originally invested in. He’s aligned with all pi’s as far as wanting bang for his buck, it’s clear mistakes have been made along the way but they can’t all be laid at his door. Sure he has an ego but I’d say that’s more than common in this industry.

I’m also very hopeful that Scott remains on the board although I believe he can remain CEO either way.

I heard Quady came out

Bozi …. Interesting that Nick chose to sit tight . Maybe a compromise has been struck to keep some ties to our Australian roots

Summit …. Yep

Plenty incentivised here to do a job
