The issue with the junior resource space is there is a small pot of cash with a vast ocean of junior exploration stocks to trade into, the market over the last 3 years has basically wiped out most sector related portfolios, many retail investors are very sore as a result.
The key to attract punters has to be ongoing news-flow, it is essential companies bang the drum regularly backed up by RNS updates.
The new CEO and Exec Chair clearly have contacts, there was some speculation that the Lanstead position could be taken out, that excited the market and the SP rose into the .40p's in April, this is an example of corporate action (or speculation) that would increase value.
ORR has always been poor on market matters, Livesey & Co were, quite frankly, clueless in their early years, I still believe the CFO has no understanding of market affairs, remember the ludicrous interview when he implied Lanstead would hold their shares as it would be in their benefit, absolute nonsense of course, we all knew it.
Under the Exec Chair and new CEO we do have BOD members that are a breath of fresh air, the Exec Chair is fully aligned to shareholders for example. I suspect they will not allow market 'shenanigans' to occur here that happens in other minnows.
In a nutshell we need a buyer or buyers to take out Lanstead selling around 1.3m shares a day on average, that should not be difficult if news-flow, rumour, market chatter and regular media keep investors interested.
News could come at any time from ongoing operations/corporate/legacy assets, the answer is to buy the stock when it is quiet and benefit from the inevitable rise which we all know will come soon enough.
