Bottmzup I resent being called a MUPPET by you within your post at 15.53. This is not a forum to abuse purchasers of this or any other company's shares.

OK Sunnyjim...here goes. I've been building here for years and absolutely believe in the science and that success will prevail - eventually. Next month when I have funds I will top up again. As usual, during big gaps between news, the MMs are bored-stiff with us and the share price drifts and this is usually coupled with low volumes. Our time will come - build a good position...hold..sit back..and wait for glory!

FM - GMCC is correct on this point. all the best, Baz

Hi GMCC - totally agree with you about the specifics of the goals and milestones - they could have spelled that out better. In relation to the price - that's completely normal - exercise price is always current share price. The point is if the Directors can reach several Pounds, then at that point they would exercise the shares and pocket the difference. So the incentive is definitely there to increase the share price to as high a level as possible. For example, in 2012 the ASOS Directors netted £80m between them doing exactly that.

I completely agree Free-Money. We've seen this time and time again. Always dips when the MMs are bored with us. If you agree with the long term fundamentals then top up on the dips. I've built up a good stake over the years and intend to buy more when funds allow next month. Still looking forward to that £20 party we talked about...but could be way more if things really work out.

The surge of interest yesterday was clearly prompted by the graphene news about purifying seawater. I suppose every interested investor had a look to see what companies included the word 'Graphene' in their name and here we are. Just a quick note...Allied Graphene Materials has a market cap of £35m with a piddly turnover of £75k plus some grants and interest taking it up to around £250k. Even their CEO earns 3 times the turnover! Shocking. Their market cap is 4.3 times ours. Crazy. We have some great products and are REALLY on the up. And by the way, to those unsure whether we are actually interested in seawater-to-drinking water, i would draw you to the paragraph in last years accounts: "Global water consumption doubles every 20 years. Today, water scarcity, changing demographics, declining water quality, stringent regulations and climate change impact have become major issues in the global water sector, driven by rising demand due to population and economic growth. The global water market is currently estimated at $425.billion with strong demand for innovative solutions that enable more efficient use of available water resources, reusing and recycling of water to enhance the quality of drinking. Demand will continue to grow with the market expected to reach $1trillion by 2025 and leveraging on its technology platform, Graphene Nanochem intends to capitalize on the opportunities to address these water related challenges focusing on speed, size and cost reduction offered by its solutions." So guys, we're in there - it may take some time. But the future could be VERY bright. But this is not a get rick quick investment in my opinion - more like a steady rise as products are proven. Long term hold and reap the benefits in years to come.

Calm down indeed. Some of you may have seen me as a lonely poster over the last few months and yesterday a lot of hot air was let off. I would ask you to look at the facts alone: 1. Darwin has about £250k of notes yet to convert. They will do this soon and then they will have that value of shares at about 4.5p each. Not too much dilution but a bit. 2. We have 2 proven products FINALLY in production: PlatDrill and PlatSurF. Small(ish) orders for each so far but hopefully when proven on site - these will fly. 3. Non-core assets being disposed of and debt being sorted out long term. Yet to be announced but on the cards. So all in all...should be a bright future and I intend to continue to hold for a long time. I must say, the rampers and shouters don't really add much to the board but I appreciate as traders they are a different breed to those of us who are long term holders having this as a long term strategy within a considered diversified portfolio.

calm down with your Kaz bashing! 6.7% last year for China down to 6.5% 'or higher' - big deal! Growth any G8 country could still only dream about. Also i noted an article when i was in Beijing last year which explained the growth calculations were only approximate and not based on actual figures. Eg export levels based on number of containers leaving ports rather than exact values of contents. Our copper will be in much demand moving forward.

Very interesting...not least because Trump's plans for massive infrastructure spending don't even get a mention...even bigger demand to come.

Fair point Fresian. If the Kazakh government is keen to encourage greater investment in their country and if Mr Kim is prepared to pocket a few extra Billion, then it could be possible. in the meantime, all good fun speculation!

The Chinese love Kazakhstan. See.. http://thediplomat.com/2016/07/kazakhstans-china-choice/

Not sure it was a mistake - looking back at today's trades you hit bought at exactly the bottom - well done.

Fantastic figures indeed! So good to see all measures are up. This isn't just a rise because of the copper price; this is a rise in overall production; production efficiency; debt control; margins and an even more positive outlook for the future. I'm so glad I invested heavily middle of last year and intend to confidently hold. Well done KAZ. Perhaps even dividend time next year?

Now a planning/design issue shuts an Anglo mine in Chile. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/anglo-suspend-copper-mining-el-222802210.html

"I'm pretty sure" is a way of spreading the ubiquitous fake news. Please stick to facts if you know them. I could say that I'm pretty sure our miners at Kaz are happy, but I don't have that info. What I do know is we have good policies to support the wellbeing of our miners: http://www.kazminerals.com/en/our_people/wellbeing_safety

and Freeport's Indonesian copper mine has now ground to a complete halt according to Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-freeport-output-idUSKBN15V0RO

It seems negotiations surrounding the strike in BHP's Chile mine have been postponed indefinitely http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/mining-energy/talks-to-end-strike-at-bhps-escondida-mine-in-chile-postponed/news-story/c5181e8e218938f454c690557fcfb5f8

For those of us here long enough...we talked about the £20 party (or £1 party pre-consolidation). I'm still happy with that as an aim! All the best Baz

As usual brokers are completely useless!

The Wall Street Journal has just announced that staff at the BHP copper mine in Chile have now gone on strike. So definite closure for 6% of the worlds output. Perhaps this is depressing the whole market, even though we should and will benefit. https://www.wsj.com/articles/workers-at-bhp-billiton-copper-mine-in-chile-go-on-strike-1486642585
