Seems to be floating rather well just now!

Quick, buy BAE !

I wish - doing a stupid diet thing, so I don't eat every other day, think its making me cranky!

we're going to sell loads of lovely gold at over $1300, and damn the creditors :)

to make new directors feel welcome!

Losing faith here - serious lack of news on any developments - come on Graeme, let us know what's happening please! Ta, Tom

I'm sure there was a mix-up somewhere, and it was actually built by the Remons, Remus felt so bad at killing Romulus that he changed his name so that everyone would blame his poor dead brother instead :)

Great big waterproof boots on, John had a great big waterproof hat... That ought to stop the dripping :)

I've not heard that we are - last I heard was that we're operating below optimum until we can replace some kit - the belts are back on-line, but trucks are a dog's dinner. Still waiting to hear on outsourcing / contract mining, but I don't expect we'll get any genuine news on that until 7th. Happy

Ever hopeful my friend - the way that the price of gold is going, these have to be starting to be worth something proper!

I'm all lonely, why's no-one told me that we're millionaires again? :)

The timing is not good for that, to me its more of a falling on sword to bring closure following the miscalculations following the expenditure of the loan rather faster than anticipated! Gold price is looking good for Monday, and the haggis is on the boil, so time to go! Happy

Shhh - they'll hear you!

Jury's out on that - used to be very pro union, but Bliar's mob and the current sleazeballs have made such a hash of running the UK that I'm thinking a more social democrat society would make a change. We'll have our own in dependant currency, maybe Stirling :), and hang any tie ins to UK debt!

True to stereotypes then, if I can make it I'll bring the whisky - you'll recognise me by the kilt, the daft ginger wig and the large box of Walkers shortbread under my arm - no porridge I'm afraid, that's just a step too far! Happy

Make up your mind Lizzie, back in October you were saying that 'when the market is in fear, its time to buy, take a two year view' as I recall. I share that sentiment, but would add 'do your own research, and make your own choices'. It's not in the slightest bit helpful to pop into a board and tell everyone that they're stupid, by all means express your opinions, but be nice please.

Boom?

Hmmm, time to re-calc at $1300 /troy again. By my reckoning, prod costs are now down to just below $1000, with likely annual at 125K oz (I know that they are talking about increased production / reduced LOM, but I don't buy that to be honest as we need to invest too much in new kit to achieve it). That gives around $40M from Inata this year, and it is still looking like we can bring plan b into life until we're told otherwise, which is looking at 55K oz at low cost, yielding another $28M. The two of those add up to about $0.30 per share of profit this year. There will be hidden costs that have not yet been declared - don't know how much the new kit will cost, nor how much the re-financing of Elliot and additional required capex will cost, but to me that adds up to a very healthy climb! Come on David, let us know the full picture, then I can retire - otherwise I'll buy a few K more and you'll have to tell me :)

Hope you're right - got a bad position on City winning that I can't get out of!

Go on Lofty, what's the score tomorrow night? Happy
