Completely agree Damers, but the market has merely dropped us nearly 10% based on the facts, and that's as Newmont and BHP have stated they're no longer interested and we're staring down the barrel of 28p for something thats with worth far more to someone who has the capability and financial resources to build it.

I take heart from the fact that NM is pi55ed and the board are looking to get an auction going, but as things stand there are only 10-20 companies on the planet capable of taking this project on, and as things stand, none of them have come forward.

I sincerely hope another suitor comes forwards and will be really surprised if they don't, but as Fort is eluding, right now the chinks have got this sown up and we've effectively handed it to them on a plate thanks to bargain basement shares and pi55ing previous suitors off... for now at least.

Like Damers says though, we've got an indicated offer of 28p, but there's plenty of the 90 minutes still to play.

The major positive for us though is that current and future metals markets look extremely positive and Ecuador thanks to Nobby is looking more positive then it has for years for foreign investment. Time to sit tight and hope for the best.

On a slightly lighter note, off to the Stamford for Dinner with friends and a couple of jars Damers. Best of luck all. C

NAL, Humbogumbo - whilst the news yesterday definitely gives you your day in the sun, one thing I've learnt in life is that it's never over till it's over. I'd save you gloating and ridicule until after we get a 'deal closed' rns.

Personally, whilst 28p is far less than I'd hoped, it would still be a good return on investment and we all get to move on.

Let's just calm down and wait and see shall we?

Thanks all.. and agree Add something must have changed after reflection as this all seems like a major pivot from 2 weeks ago. Why would anyone make a counter next week or before the 26th though - why is that important?

Not sure who I'm more pi55ed off with, those cheeky b4stard Chinks and their sneaky short, or our f88king inept board for not defending our assets from going on the cheap - what a bunch of utter cun75.

Anyway, rant over - any views on a likely counter bid? 26th December deadline but what's the likelihood of anyone moving before then or are we just left hoping in the New Year??

All the best gang, C

💯%... tbf, I'm a businessman and if the Chinese money is the same money as colour as the Ausie / Yank / Canadian / Middle Eastern money, they can have my shares no problem. But here in lies the problem, there's plenty of possible suitors in this market and the market is only getting better for the seller. NAV is well known, so whatever the contrived motive for being here, it's f88king pointless as they need to pay the going rate. Long way to go yet DrQu but keep pushing the narrative as we know all too well the Chinese modus operandi. C

Fortunately for us, our interest's are aligned with Nick's, so he'll be fighting our corner by proxy.

I think we'll see the Chinese come back in soon enough if they want to get this at a reasonable price. The pending copper boom story is well a truly out there now, and the whole industry is going to attract a new audience. Combine that with Ecuador's entry on the global mining stage, not to mention progress in moving our world class asset to production, means they need to move quickly.

I still don't think they'll end up getting this though as another suitor will come out of the shadows soon enough. The investment case is simply too strong and there's not may assets like this around up for sale. Time will tell.

Why ever did you choose the name killjoy, killjoy?

So do we all think this is the Chinese selling into the rises from 30p.... if so a good thing as they're preparing another offer? (but will likely still have some way to go)

Cheers DBW, sounds like Chinks need Solg quite badly, good to know.

Decent day today and good to see the 26p brigade we're well and truly wrong. C

Whilst respecting Warren Irwins record with RAM, why would anyone take money off the table in the short term. SOLG will be in bid defence mode and fully motivates to lift the sp further and Dan's record since he took charge has been stellar in this regard. More drill results, CIPA, quality of the the F'in coffee beans award winning bread - WHATEVER!!! ... get the bloody news out this week to lift the sp further and whatch the Chinks sweat. It's time to ramp the f88k out of this thing and get what we all deserve. C

Thanks for your wisdom Cumbogumbo, holding strong here as are many. Many have been waiting years for a first bid and held / added at sub 5p and believe in the quality of our assets and the supportive geopolitical / market sentiment. Shut the door on your way out. C

F**k you tentubs. 2.55 mil shares held here and will likely travel down to Zug for the agm as will be in the alps with the family over NY anyway. Wider family also owns a good chunk here so if that's not a 'serious investment', don't know what is. 1st post? Know your game pal. 22, egg fried rice and some prawn cracks for me please... f88k 0ff.

Literally ROLF Slug.

Just added another 250k thats just cleaned out the savings account. no way on gods earth this is going anywhere near this price.

No way this is going for 26p - tell 'em to stick it... Next offer please Jxc - cheeky chink5

Good stuff WoodyB - nice feeling when you get back in the black - congratulations. Nearly commented earlier that Friday afternoon could be a good time for a suitor to hoover up some loose stock pre CA. Let's see how this pans out

Hey PS - definately not as if I was I wouldn't have sold when I did.... nothing more to the rational other than, no rns first thing, british bulls said some thing line 'bearish incoming... blah', and we'd had a decent couple of days from 18.5p through to 21 :-) ... stroke of genuis hey? Still mate, very long term holder and got a ton long I'd never sell till the end game whenever that may be.... but we're getting closer for sure aren't we.. lots of ducks starting to line up.

Mid moring rns was a funny one wasn't it?.... keep us on our toes?? ... cheeky monkeys.

You're 100% right almost done, I had my pants pulled down when I sold the trading pot at 21.5 first thing then watched us rip to 25p+... I was quite smug with another 7K profit for about an hour till I realsied it could have been nearer to 18k if I'd held to later in the day #faceplam... still, another 2.5 mil long so not a bad day at all. Bu to your point, sounds like CIPA is very close and with AGM pending, there's more strong days to come so who knows when the next rns will land - mid morning certainly was a pleasant surprise!

Keep the faith all. C

Sold 200k of my trading pot at 19.82 a couple of days ago thinking we'd have a bit more back and forth with the 20p reistance, slightly regretting that now. Still plenty more skin in the game.

20p now firmly gone on the way back to fair value?
