EVERY TIME! Vast have to issue this RNS. They have no choice. Every time we get an RNS of warrants, same comments on here. Jeez

This is a very good long term investment. I have a 5 year plan with it at least. In 5 + years the dividends alone should be worth more than we are paying for a share now. Roll on 2024 haha

Only another 100%+ or so required to break even :(

No doubt this terrible funding issue will drag out until the last minute just like everything else that VAST does. Time to bury one's head in the sand for the next couple of weeks. I think the SP will continue to drop until it is resolved. Why would anyone buy in with such a risk hanging over the company? BB's will be full of pointless spout for the next few weeks. FAHP will ramp day in day out and anyone who says anything negative gets called a troll. Reminds me of the Nomad issue a couple of years ago. Again, sorted last minute after the SP had been hammered. Why AP went for this deal in the first place if he was so confident that Merc T2 would be granted early in Jan is beyond me. It is a poor deal and has hammered the SP and lead to yet more dilution. Foolish move IMO

AP has stated 7th Jan but it is out of his control like the BP license and he has no control over it. Why give out these pointless deadlines? Just keep quiet. It has been a poor year for all, not just VAST. Recovery will be a long time coming now. BP up and running by June? Ha. Like AP has delivered his timescales so far... There will be delays as there always is. It will be another year before the company sees the benefits of BP.

Diamonds? Like we have any cash to invest in a diamond mine. We had a placing for 1m a while back but no idea what it was for. Things like this are frustrating. How many more placings will 2019 hold I wonder. Lets not forget the massive headroom the board now have to place as and when they wish. Another reason not to invest for a potential investor. Zimbabwe is still a corrupt country in turmoil, just look at the constant currency issues. I didn't invest here for the Zimbabwe assets and don't really care for them. Nothing to stop the government just kicking us out like they did before. Again, another risk for a potential investor.

Romania is where it's at and where we should focus. I did like the AP comment that management is being taken away from projects where VAST are a minority stakeholder. Good move IMO. Why waste time and effort on a 25% holding in something?

Never been this far down in a share before so probably just venting. There is a lot of potential here with good commodity bases but it is constantly jam tomorrow. People can say all they want but a market cap is now down below 18m and the SP is 40% down on this time last year. Says it all really

40% down. Says it all. Terrible deal. Absolutely useless

FAHP How can you be happy with this deal?! Look at the markets response and try to put a positive spin on a 40% drop. Ffs 2p by Christmas. Ha. 0.2p more like. What a terrible yeah this has been for SP performance. In any other business AP would be gone

What is it with this share and terrible funding deals? Thought we'd seen the last of this in 2016 but here we are again. Can AP break anymore of the 'promises' he made in his chairman's statement at the start of the year? So far we've had countless raises and now this crap. I really though this share would do well in 2018 but here I am nearly 50% down and starting to question if it will ever really improve. No doubt I'll be here throughout 2019 hoping for more non existent share price progress

Wish I had the spare cash for a top up

To everyone stating that PP revenues are worth the market cap alone, we only own 25% of it thanks to RP. We sold 50% of PP to buy Manailla.... Today's results are poor let's be honest. Winter is coming so the next one's won't get much better. Eugh... This one's going to drag on for a while now

A .5p party would be a start...

Same pattern this week as the past two weeks. Mon & Tues red. Wed & Thurs blue. Fri red. Red week

Roll on 2020

Manaila will produce good steady profits. At the moment it is around break even. Good months and bad. We should have some new excavation and haulage equipment arriving in the new year. This will increase tonnages and improve profitability straight away. Plans are going through with local authorities for the new processing plant to be built on site. This will take 18 months or so but once complete, will add 25%+ to the base profits as the transportation costs will be slashed dramatically.

For what it's worth, I thought todays interview was good. Better to hear him being interviewed by someone other than Andrew Scott and being grilled from a different angle. He had some good answers and I agree that things take time. Just wish I had some more cash to put in at these low levels!

The quarterlies rarely have any effect on the share price anyway. When it has been released over the past few years there is never much of a SP shift. All the talk of this being down because the Q3's are late is rubbish. All markets are down and falling. AIM is a high risk high reward market. In this kind of market people will be pulling out for various reasons. The tide will change. There will always be people on here spouting 2p by Christmas rubbish. Filter them out, do your research and put in what you can afford to do without for a while. This is a long term investment and it will be a year or so before there is any real progress. BP needs to be up and running along with Eureka purley for the cash income. The 850m or so shares the board can now issue at will and the threat of more dilution will also scare alot of people off. I'm in here for the next few years at least. Sitting on a near 30% loss at the moment is painful though! All IMO of course...

Looking forward to the next update on Zargra. Such a huge site and massive asset. Will be a few years to get up and running but I'm sure there will be big interest before then

Do we think the £1m could be for the Zargra drill project? Remember AP stating it will cost around £2m to drill in an old interview. If we can cover half this and get a partner on board for the other half. I think we have to start drilling by the end of the year? Here's hoping...

It's happening everywhere at the moment. Good shares with good prospects dropping. Personally, I think it's a good time to buy here but I do have a 5 to 8 year plan with this one and I know not everyone has this luxury

Isn't tranche 2 dependant on getting the building permits for the plant at Carlibaba? Vaugely remember hearing this somewhere before on a podcast

Only time will tell if it's good news or bad

Haha yeah - BHP have offered to buy VAST for 3p per share. Might see us rise to 0.7p per share until the usual sell off beings again :P

0.97% of a rise needed to get on the risers board today. Only 16 companies in all of AIM and FTSe went up today. Don't think it is an issue with VAST, just the markets as a whole at the moment. Haven't seen volume this low in years

Should get these shortly. They are due soon and would have normally been issued by now. May get some more details in there regarding all the ongoing projects
