'We, as a nation, can't and have to take crumbs from England's table.' As in the extra money Scots receive as a result of the 'Barnett Formula' being applied to the disadvantage of the remainder of the UK, especially those in England. My piles bleed for you!

Like a few posters on here, I've wanted to punish in some way the Directors who have pushed the SP here to it's recent low level, but the ones mainly responsible are gone - sacked or moved on to sunnier climes (except NM, but see later.). What we are left with are Directors who are asking us to vote for them at the AGM, probably to get themselves sacked after a takeover. And why would they do this? Because they, like us (mostly ), have skin in the game, some a quite substantial amount in the case of NM. In different circumstances I would be voting to hurt the Directors, but I feel that to do so now would be to hurt myself. I have instructed my Proxy to vote FOR all Resolutions. As dear Maggie used to say - TINA - There Is No Alternative!
My Proxy is Halifax. I contacted them using their secure email service through my Share Dealing Account and received a confirmation that they had enacted my instructions within a few hours.
Now get this takeover done and at a good price. I want more holidays and, sod the inheritance, a bottle of Hennessy Paradis. I think I've earned it!

Bit of a lull here so just to say that England have scored the fastest 500 ever in Test Cricket by miles and the umpires have forced them off for bad light! Would you believe it!

GET A LIFE FFS! says he in his 7th post of the day!
You've got to laugh at some of these folk.

Sean - but isn't the 'weekend' thing one of the main symptoms of FOMO, and let's be honest, with so many of us being LTHs, haven't we all got a touch of the FOMOs.

DK - Bubbles is referring to Sasha12 22:00.
I don't get 'floor trader' either but I don't believe it to be a term of disrespect.
Keep cool, calm and hopefully collect!

M & G starting to motor in the last few days also. Has this long rumoured tie up finally got legs?

TBH when I read that DGR note, I got the feeling NM was warming up the other DGR shareholders for their company to be taking on some of the SOLG prospects and proving them up SOLG (or more likely NM) style. He appeared to be taking full credit for their modus and results.

Looked seriously oversold when down to 130s, but up 50% in a month?

Thanks to you 2Luke.

I'm struggling to find details of where Mr Caldwell's prospective 17,587,500 shareholding comes from. Is this the multiple of his Cornerstone shares to SOLG shares upon the merger completion or are we offering him a huge bonus? The RNS can be interpreted either way and I am struggling to find out how many Cornerstone shares he has.
Frankly, I find this all an utter s**t show. I used to be excited about the SOLG experience, but now I can't wait to get out of here and move on to investments where I don't quiver with trepidation every time I see an RNS notification pop up!

Osisko recently posted their Q3 Prelims, which included the following Board of Direcctors Appointment -
Osisko is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Rob Krcmarov to its Board of Directors. Mr. Krcmarov is a renowned international mining executive with over 32 years of experience in the natural resources sector. Mr. Krcmarov recently retired as Executive Vice President of Exploration and Growth for Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”). During his tenure at Barrick, he progressed through several senior positions from 1988 to 2021, and built an exceptional skillset in global exploration spanning across five continents and more than 20 countries.
And further -
Rob adds unparalleled expertise in geology and mining transactions with relationships and asset knowledge around the globe. He will be an invaluable asset to the Corporation.”

Someone tenuous I admit but nice to know we have a guy from a company other than BHP/NMC looking at us. I'm sure RK will agree - he's been talking 'Barrick' for yonks!
Maybe meaningless, but I'm enjoying the moment for once! GLA

Just to say that Colonel Drake posts as Fortissimo since June 2022.

Long term and long in the tooth. Looks like SOLG could be nearing fruition at long, long last, but if SHG doesn't fall for a decent price, I'm happy to hold and invest more.

mick-b - Good to have a couple of perky shares in one's portfolio, eh! Hope you're well and enjoying current times.

No 'Just Stop Oil'/ER protesters hanging around! We couldn't bring those pussycats here......could we?

The Executive Chairman of Chaarat owns about 45% of the company (according to the LSE board here) and has substantial links to Russia and Directorships therein. He is also a Director of Cabo Delgado Investments. CD is the north eastern region of Mozambique and it is claimed to have the most mineral/gas resources in Africa, but for the past few years has been subject to a 'deadly Islamist insurrection'. Total have recently withdrawn all of it's operatives from their $20b offshore gas project because of these troubles. Mozambique adjoins Tanzania, though far to the south from Shanta.

Good news for you. You can go to visit your property for 90 days every 180 days, not 90 days per year. Keep up!

Note Mathersfinger and bankruptbuy criticise Slug then insert similar multiple posts themselves. Pots calling the kettle .....errr....'coloured'?

Twice as many cables, twice as much copper for the grid! What's not to like?
