No news from Finland since January Suzy.
Eric - if Kurt has delusions of a diversified company then if there is news about Kosovo while he is away in Finland then Sven or someone else is paid enough to release the info surely. Mid August and more info about the company from scraping around the internet again than from the actual company. To be fair Eric, Suzy, JTG to Pocko et al., nothing since Jan from Finland is shambolic. Next month is Kurt's 8th year anniversary and the share price is lower than it was 14/15 years ago. Something has to change and if Kurt is incapable of upping his Comms then it is time for someone else to take over that responsibility and for him to just do mining stuff.
Nothing from Finland or Kosovo. Shambolic.
An interesting read - thanks
Thanks Eric - took it at face value.
Well played Roller1
Tony Robbins is quite good if that is your thing, but I am sure there is plenty of other good free stuff out there. I am sure he has a You Tube channel that your friend can preview his stuff on.
Maybe it was the hummus Suzy? It does have comedic value.
Suzy - I was more concerned with how and why CSP was consuming Hummus in between insulting the Sami and the Mining inspectorate!
Apparently Kurt decided to let CSP have another go at giving shareholders and update in a dream I had last night. It did not go well at all. What is my subconscious telling me? Go easy Suzy.
Suzy did you support CSP when he misappropriated 250k on Agricola? I just hope we are not saying the same, but on a larger scale with Kosovo and Kurt.
Oh Suzy. Of you go again trying to use the sexist remark. Laughable.
I generally wait for sanctimonious Kurt fans to post on how great he is and how he can do no wrong on LSE in-between posting about gardening and random quotes.
FYI Suzy - who mentioned being an expert. If you refer to watching a company CEO say one thing and seemingly do anything but improve on it for over 7 years, then yes I am an experts., as are many others on here.
You do like to try and pick fights from your ivory tower with anyone if they don't subscribe to your view of the infallible Kurt.
Genuine question Suzy. Do you know Kurt personally? If not are you paid to post what you do in his defence?
Mayflower - true, but what does Kurt actually do day to day? Maybe not shopping at Matalan as some have suggested, but he certainly isn't busy updating shareholders or improving his communications skills.
Updating shareholders/stakeholders and the market is a key part of his brief and his report card is still a C- from where I am sitting, which is woeful after 7 plus years at the helm!
One for you, one for me RNS. FFS Kurt - timing is so very poor. Suckling at the shareholder teat again whilst the SP is woefully low. If you are so confident and actually paid attention to the SP then why not at the re-rating event that you previously mentioned around award time of 20p? This is the easy option for the board, award yourself in effect x4 the value you should be getting and Littorin saying it is fair...that makes it all OK then. Pigs in the trough once again. Deliver on the SP and nobody minds the board being rewarded. I'd love to play Kurt at cards, as he can't read the room.
Good spot Pocko. Is 2023 a typo?
So Kurt has until the end Feb 2023 to get the sp much higher to pay off this debt. An innovative cash call. We all hope you do it kb.
One or two things ... like the Sami consider others, the Swedish government grow a backbone and Kurt communicates effectively to shareholders. ;-)
Argghhhhhh - sub 4p.
Time for some good news Kurt rather than more of the same.
Aug/Eric - totally agree with you the sp. Diabolical has been Kurt's communication. What I disagree with in general is the notion that Kurt has Shareholders best interests at heart. Kurt talks a good game about environmentalism and shareholders, but his actions have not matched his rhetoric for a CEO with investors at its heart. It is easy to say we want to create the most green whatever, but the simple fact is that's the easy bit when you are an explorer. Don't forget that Kurt learnt the business from his Dad, who ended up costing lots of people a lot of money when that all went pear shaped. Now I know Kurt is not his dad but it is starting to feel that the last seven years have been a massive journey for Kurt to build his own little empire/legacy and in reality he doesn't give a toss about investors (I know many on here think otherwise). His track record of raising cash at low levels is stellar and his disregard for the SP tanking is now just more of the same. His complete contempt for us shareholders is shown in the shockingly poor investor communications that has not improved one bit (or his investor pitches either)- his nice chat's with Rosie at BRR paid for media just don't cut it, in fact they never did with those oh so vanilla questions. Kurt is like one of those friends that you never hear from until either they want something or it is near their birthday. He sends out info every 5 minutes when he wants cash and then dangles the word 'exciting' , 'great progress' 're-rating' and 'updating ..in due course' and disappears back into his hole without a peep when 80% is wiped off of the sp. The challenge to the concession was always going to come, but please remember that a well run company with a pro-active board would know this and have a strategy to mitigate, at least in part. Kurt adding Ulla to the board is just adding more dead wood to his vanity legacy at the top of the organisation that weighs heavier on the cash burn and a further drag on the SP. Kurt in his head thinks he is doing a great job but in reality he has just eroded shareholder value over time and has fallen for the Jam tomorrow delusion, and we all know how that ended up for his dad...bankruptcy. IMO.
You can think whatever you like Eric. The only valid thing on here is the SP, that is in the toilet and the lack of any plan to rectify it. I am still waiting on Kurt doing a better job at communicate all the value in Sweden, Finland and Kosovo, yet that leopard hasn't changed its spots. Kurt will not get any trust from the market until he can. From 20p to 4p is a shambles. Asleep at the wheel IMO (irrespective of Ulla appointment being good or bad).
