MetalMania.

I have the same dilema, as I'm sure do many others here. Struggling to see any downsides, but already have a good holding (for over a decade!), so I'm still nervous of pumping more in, just in case the scenario goes south as it did previously. Yes, totally different now, but once bitten, twice shy.

Having said that, for anyone new here, I'd jump in quick! More RNSs due imminently that should be positive for SML, and not just regarding Redmoor.

John Peters probably won't be that disappointed, he still has 81m shares...! (as of Dec 24)

Wolf, now Tungsten West, are at Hemerdon, just east of Plymouth, SML are near Callington (Kelly Bray), about 20 miles away. I suspect they will be using their equipment, but no reason why their knowledge couldn't be used in a JV, though looking at their payroll (see their annual accounts on their website), they're not cheap, despite not being in production at the moment!

And GMET produces nothing yet....

And a great end to the day! 16%....

I was fortunate enough to have bought a few more yesterday before the results, best decision this week. :)

Many thanks for the answers, esp TOTS.

Originally bought in a long time ago. My earliest trade on HL was in 2017 (1.97p - ouch), but held before that when I was with Barclays and paid more than 1.97p..., then transferred over to HL. Have averaged down since to just over 1p, so in profit, at last.

Great to see this moving at last. I'm in the UK next week and will take a trip to Kelly Bray (only a few miles from where I'm staying) and may try to grab a chat with some of the drilling crew, see what their thougts are!

GLA and thank you for some common sense posts, rather than the rampers and derampers, who seem to have taken a back seat for a while.

It'll be interesting to see the delayed trades at the end of the day. Yesterday had several million at close of play, though I still haven't seen any large enough to convince me that the institutions are getting involved, and no RNS regarding holding thresholds being breached. SML could do with some PR, getting this in the news and generating some interest.

Agreed, almost better than excellent!

A very strong compony with a very large customer base, and growing, I can see this heading upwards for a while yet.

My major concern is the close proximity to the village of Kelly Bray. It'll need some skillful negotiation for the locals to accept a mine on their doorstep.

However, on the plus side, the Duchy seem to be behind it, as are the government, judging by their delivery of grants. Plus it could bring income to the village, which isn't a bad thing.

Need the www. too.

I was hoping that with thedata centre sale announcement, that we'd see a spike here, upwards, not downwards.

Is this a lower sale price than the market was expecting?

I've been a holder here for year and hoped that this company would be moving forward. Instead the share price has pretty much bobbed along at the same level for years. I'll be out when (if) I break even or even on a small loss.

You seem a pleasant character.

Thank you for your in depth and informative post.

Maybe some research next time might add to your input here.

I bought another 2m a couple of days ago and they showed up as an unknown, so it's hard to tell with these whether they are buys or sells.

Surprised not to see any RNS this morning relating to large institutional buys.

Yes, trading is high, but not at the levels whereby the institutions are playing, yet!

I can see it going further still, especially next year with the launch of Airtel Money. Almost sounds like a repeat of the Virgin story, just a different continent.

On today's 5% rise? Can't see any RNS today.

Look at Entain's results....!

It appears to be a market sector doing well all round.

I bought another lump a few days ago. Paying off so far and I'm hoping for good results and continued rise tomorrow.

No posts on here for a month, or is my feed broken?

Any ideas why the drops over the past two days?
