Kat2008 - I've been away so just catching up and specifically your 090224, 19:11.

Frankly - mostly bo**ocks! Agree with the possible sentiment 'Meanwhile, we have the leaders we deserve'. They are elected but whether we wholly deserve them, I doubt. However they are regularly subject to a generally hostile Press and more often than not to interviewers who don't fear the repercussions of asking 'difficult' questions. Tucker Carlson, hardly a beast anyway, was a guest in a foreign state, interviewing their 'elected' leader who deals with opposition by means of banishment to the nether regions, some say only if they have avoided Novichok!

Apols but it's not school day.

Hope for good things this week after the bell goes!

Eloro, don't get me wrong, Nelson has always been and will always be an heroic figure from our past to admire. I was pointing out your analogy could have been better since his actions precipitated his death.

Also, we wouldn't be speaking French now as Trafalgar was a sea battle off the southern coast of Spain, not an attempted invasion. That may have happened ten years later but for Napoleon meeting his Waterloo as ABBA famously reminded us.

You've become a bit of a drag over the past few months. Repetitive and frankly quite boring. Buckle up sunshine or b*gger off!

Nelson walking the decks exposed himself (quiet at the back) to the sniper and was mortally wounded as a result.

Just saying.

Aquinaga - plaudits for expressing 'squeaky bum' and 'logjam' into the one post.

Your literary talents are admirable. ROFL

In today's RNS from Ecora Resources PLC (LSE/TSX: ECOR) an Industrial Metals Royalties Company detailing their Q4 (to 31/12/23) trading update, CEO Marc Lafleche commented -

"The mining sector continues to see underinvestment and a challenging market backdrop. We anticipate these conditions will persist over next 2-3 years, during which royalty financing should be a highly attractive source of capital.''

Just saying.

Sidi - That seems to be the way with most of the 'income' shares.

Wrong site. Time to say goodbye!

Just to say how surprised I am that so many have referred to possibly the most famous ship ever as HMS Titanic. The vessel was not His Majesty's (George V) Ship Titanic (ie not part of the Royal Navy) but was Royal Mail Ship (or sometimes referred to as Royal Mail Steamer) Titanic as it was contracted to carry Royal Postal Mail across the Atlantic to America.

BBG - the 051223 RNS mentions 'previous historic artisanal mining'. When locals have been risking life and limb without any H & S protection or modern mechanical assistance to get at whatever is down there, it's always a good sign. PMs will rarely be lying at the surface like vegetables with nothing beneath. Its not carrots the artisans were after, it was carats!

Offer documents haven't been released yet so nothing to vote on until they are.

I note that the earliest date DGR can repay the loan is 14th February 2024. Some here suggest that is the end date by which Scott has said SOLG will publish the revised smaller PFS which will hopefully make interested parties reveal themselves and start the process of monetisation.

Just a coincidence or am I seeing smoke without fire?

Some good news would be great for a change or failing that just a week or two of no bad news!

Poor chap!

Touche Meconopsis!

Post of the day and it's not yet 9am!

Sorry SM - went to make a coffee and when I came back, find you posted what I was long windedly composing myself.

Still, happy to find I'm in good company!

Crikey, he's correct about calling PIs ants, which by their nature will attack most everything, perceiving them to be a threat.

Didn't Scott say after the AGM that he wanted to communicate with shareholders to find out why the 'Specials' were voted down. Isn't this what ST is setting out to do - communicating?

Come on guys, keep up and let people get on with doing what they do! Many of you demand communication then are rubbishing an attempt to start doing so. Jeeeez!

Many thanks for your post Shippy!

111,000 - voting NO!

I posted twice recently that I thought an offer could be made early 2024 but this is more a p**s take than an offer.

Kipperfoot@11:09 - '..something smells.....very bad...' - like your foot? (lol!)

Since we're out of school until Monday and following on the takeover theme, Mike Fraser was CEO of Chaarat when they made their approach earlier and will be CEO of GoldFields from 1/1/24.

Our Chief Operating Officer, Group Head of Exploration and the Head of Social Sustainability and Development are all ex Barrick men, the COO also being ex Endeavour Mining who are building an empire taking strategic stakes in companies, partly to diversify from their base.

Lastly, just a real cheeky one, has Eric disclosed exactly what his future plans are? Nobody knows the company like he does and he's holding onto his shares.

Just playing with thoughts, but the next few months could be fun!

Davethehorse - 'Still as obnoxious as ever I see Publican...' - Neigh!!!!! (lol)

DBW - Solgold say that 'virtually no pi votes had been received compared with this time last year '. I would imagine many PIs' shares are held by nominees (in my case Halifax) who should issue clients with the relevant voting form for the AGM (some nominees require you to assert in your Account Management to have them supply you with these - how obstructive is that?). Halifax advised that I needed to return the completed form to them by 14th December, which I have done, and presumably they lodge these forms with Solgold thereafter.

I wonder if these show up at Solg as PI votes or as the Nominee?
