Must admit very happy with that. If we can trade sideways around here for a bit just like we did at 35p, then we will establish base camp 2p higher up than we were before! Another day nearer the mine being built! :)

Yes you will need to register. Ask whoever holds your shares to do what is required for you to attend and vote. They should be able to assist you. I got this from HL after mailing them. Thank you for your enquiry. As the AGM for Highlands Natural Resources plc is enabled in the UK's settlement system (CREST), we are able to appoint you as a proxy via electronic means in order for you to attend the meeting and cast any votes. Your details have been forwarded to the department responsible for entering proxy instructions into CREST, and you will receive further confirmation when this has been completed (usually approximately five working days before the meeting date). Please note that you will need to take photographic ID with you to the meeting. We trust the above is in order, however if you have any further queries or questions please do not hesitate to contact us. I also checked with Eric and got this.... You can certainly vote electronically via CREST (as I have done) but normally the nominee company produces a letter of representation for you to attend, and vote personally. HL seem clear in what they write but since I have not seen electronic proxies before, please send me your confirmation (when it arrives) and I will check with registrar. So I’m waiting to see what I get back from HL, and will check back with Eric to make sure all is good. Hope to see you there!

I’ll be there.

Well let’s hope ~37 is their selling point / ceiling if it is. New baseline? Still 2p up from 35 if it is! Time will tell. Soon we will be counting the SP going up as the shafts go further down so meh. Back to sleep! Plenty of time for ST2 yet! Apologies if comes up twice. Hit post and didn’t appear.

Blue - I’d like to believe the reason we can play with the big boys is the fact that those relationships were established long before Highlands came along, but we are seeing Highlands as an entity in itself working with them now rather than just Robert and Paul as individuals in their previous pre-Highlands days!

JJAL - with L2 my provider doesn’t offer me vast amounts of historical trading data, it’s more a platform for seeing what is happening real time and obviously gives access to the order book, so you can see where the MM’s are positioned / positioning themselves. I assume you mean trade data and not the rolled up bought / sold indicator as the red blue trades (when the spread is wide open as it can be) can show entire days as red or blue depending on the share price being above or below the mid point of the spread, when if you look at the shares traded and the price it’s pretty easy to work out sells and buys even if all listed red or blue. Not sure who offers actual trade data going back over really long periods of time.

“Strange trading patterns” have nothing to do with the BOD!!! Anyway. Who wanted the tight spread to buy? Doesn’t get much tighter than now lol.

A week ago all we wanted was 37p. Here we are with another 37,000,000 more shares traded well above that price, and however many more unreported ones. Churn baby churn. The more traded at 37p+ the more 37p+ becomes the new 35p+ where we treaded water for ages. That’s how I see it anyway. Oh and in true me fashion... Another day closer to first Poly!

You know that bit in Trading Places when our hero’s Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd are there at the end, looking around poking their fingers at the traders who look completely burned out and stressed and are saying “buy”, “buy”, “buy” in the trading pit?

That’s me on these dips that is.

Really not sure what part of a long term holding people don’t get...

This is hugely undervalued on its current assets. Is funded into 2019, has more revenue inbound from ED when completed, alongside our share of gas sales as will all be going down that shiny new pipe then....

And meanwhile bubbling away in the background is potentially some great Helios news, West Denver value to be added when we find out more on that and the Kansas Nitrogen project, which in turn should help DTU.

Oh I’m doing fine and dandy thanks.

I thought I was supposed to be the drama queen here. Seriously. “Round selling”, “a sea of red” On today’s trades???? Hope you don’t ever work for the Samaritans or one day it really will be raining men.

Lol @ time that is weird - let’s have a conspiracy theory (joke!)

No JJAL I’m not suggesting it’s normal PI trading. Read what I’ve said again. Normal PI’s don’t get involved in hedged trading strategies, play multiple positions on the same stock etc.

What I’m saying is the likelihood it’s “Robert selling shares to buy warrants etc” is madness and suggesting other ways it could be achieved.

Someone earlier mentioned someone who may or may not have been involved when the SP crashed to 12p before, maybe or maybe not someone like that or a group like that could have done something, however I’m not going to make any suggestions of wrongdoing against anyone or group as would not want to do that for obvious legal reasons....

Obviously I’m delusional and naive for trying to point out the fact that there could be many a valid reason for “the selling” of late and also I’m clearly delusional in thinking that 2.5m shares sold in a short period of time wouldn’t have an detrimental impact on the SP? Sorry I forgot that would naturally make the price rise how silly of me.

I’m only putting out my thoughts as much as anyone else but at least I’m putting something of substance and reason behind them.

Your reason for selling out had your reasoning behind it and that’s fair enough from your position, however I’ve not had a personal dig at you so no need to have one at me.

Also the comment on “I’m topping up here” whilst posting on another channel “I’m thinking of selling there to buy here” wasn’t directed at you either, just the typical stuff posted on theses boards.

I’ve no problem with real critical debate, welcome it in fact.

Diversion is as far as I’m aware a totally separate company, but obviously the directors are linked.

It owns 25% of the DTU patents, as such I’d expect 25% of the royalties to go to diversion and 75% of royalties to go to Highlands. At no point in the prospectus does it say we own 100% it is all over the place as 75%.

Also at no point does it state anything about Diversion and gas sales etc as there is no need. All of the assets of Highlands Natural Resources belongs to Highlnds Natural Resources. It has subsidiaries such as Highlands Montana Corporation, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Highlands Natural Resources.

In short. Everything we own as HNR we own, that includes the very publicly stated 75% of DTU patents and therefore royalties associated with it.

Under no circumstances could diversion have any claim to any Nitrogen sales as they do not own the Nitrogen play it is owned by Highlands.

So back to the original point.

Is Diversion paying for any testing. - No it doesn’t look like it.
Will Diversion get a free ride of 25% of the Royalties from DTU - Absolutely of the patented process, it isn’t a license to sell gas it’s a royalty ownership.
Does that mean they get a free ride - Yes. We HNR are paying for the DTU tests but we will get 75% of the royalties and naturally any gas sales which we own.
Is that similar to West Denver. - Yes someone else will pay for the work, and we will get a %.
Is that in itself dodgy - No.

So if that’s viewed as Ninja Turtle Acid and you don’t want to invest, so be it, it’s my understanding of how royalties work and how the companies assets are owned by us as HNR shareholders as opposed to owners of a 25% Royalty interest on a patent, that is owned by Diversion..

Noodle. Not attacking your decision to sell out so no need to get so defensive nor go on a personal attack.

I was simply saying others are questioning the large volume of sells. Well your 900,000 and the 1.67m = over 2.5m sold in a relatively short period of time, so that’s obviously going to have a knock on effect is it not?

Another SP Theory: People sell a few shares to pursue short term opportunities elsewhere? Highlands isn’t known for intraday RNS’s. Perhaps someone sells out a chunk to jump in on a play elsewhere, as they believe they have an intraday opportunity or they believe as a short term thing they can make 10-20-30% elsewhere and then come back later. That kind of trading was clearly visible before a long while back. Why not now? And as it’s the weekend I’ll chuck in another perfectly viable thought. In times of light trading 10,000 shares (what the mms quote for) is often the maximum they will take, before moving the bid / ask about, so, like why the round number? well there’s another answer and also another bonus idea to pour water on the conspiracy fires. Clearly every time a bunch of round number sells appear the chicken little sky is falling down brigade come out. - charts make for self fulfilling prophecy’s as enough people believe it will do something, people react accordingly, which in turn can make the very thing you predict happen. Put into peoples minds long enough a pattern of 10,000 shares sales has to be some invisible giant force with an endless bucket of shares and oooo spooked LSE reading PI’s.... what are they going to do? Why do you think people try to wind you up on these boards, plant seeds of doubt etc. Only two possible reasons. 1.) plain and simply they are just trolls or. 2.) They rely on the pattern / herd mentality / plant that seed of doubt or seed or growth. If all of a sudden a bunch of people appear deramping and spreading doubt. Is it cause they want the SP lower to buy in / have a spread bet on the SP dropping? Do you take it that is a symbol that they are looking now to buy in and the SP will rise soon?! One of the few reasons I bother to stay here posting is it fascinates me, this melting pot of human behaviour. I often go and read other BB’s where I’m not even invested after times of volatile movement just to see the reaction of people, and recognise some posters... I’ve seen people posting about topping up here whilst elsewhere saying they looking to sell here and buy in there. I mean really lol. trust nobody (and I realise that also ironically means me!) but research yourself the actual facts and not the rumours and that will stand you in the perfect position to make the right investment decisions for yourself. I’m just trying to put to bed stupid rumours and putting out there multiple possibilities of what might be happening or even a combination of these things, that are after all more than likely just things.

there are more than one ways to trade.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that those selling placed spread bets on the market.

Just a theory, but a far more likely one than that of RP forward selling his own holding without declaring it just so he could comvert some warrants he doesn’t need to until 2020, at a detriment to his own company SP, and also breaking rules don’t you think?

At the end of the day. When the SP is low it’s a bargain, the more we progress the more the likes of serious oil
and gas investors like Guarav Sharma will invest for the bigger picture and the value play.

Unlike before we do not need to place, so unless you need to sell the shares make the most of it when it’s low, look down the backs of the sofa and get the Henry Hoover out!

1.) He can’t sell his own shares without declaring it. 2.) he has until 2020 to convert his warrants. 3.) there is no personal gain for him to do this, he’s in this for the long hall and there is no point him selling shares so he can convert warrants. None whatsoever. It doesn’t make sense. 4.) the warrants provide him with a commanding share holding which effectively as good as prevents a takeover, selling a chunk of them to buy warrants so he ends up with a smaller holding makes 0 sense. With regards to current share price conspiracy theory. How’s this.... 1.) recently 1.667m warants would have been sold prior to them converting. 2.) noodle confesses to selling 900,000 but then questions arise as to where could all these sells come from. Well er If 1 PI can do that, why couldn’t 2 or 3 others have? With regards to projects. Kansas and DTU are linked. C02 comes later. Helios will hopefully reveal they are correct in Eagle formation hydration technique and be able to work on the longer term plans for this as well. ED can still provide revenue to keep us going until WD comes along regardless what the likes of he who shall not be named tweets.... The other day we’ve had panicking over a 5% drop and recovery based on 100,000 shares traded in either direction. Today there were two 250,000 share sells and yet the day ended up even..... someone’s picking up the shares....

Jacky - "Keep fishing mate, I’ll return in a years time and willing to bet this won’t be any higher than 25p" Does this mean you will not post here again until 3rd August 2019?

Jacky - please stop making assumptions on my behalf.

Robert is another human being who is therefore capable of great things or mistakes. I'm invested here as I believe both he, the team he has assembled, and out partners (Renegade aside!) are also capable of great things. I do not put him on a pedestal and worship him like a God as you are trying to make out, but I think he is a more than capable CEO, and that is all I ask of him.

PS - Have you sold the rest of your shares yet, thought you'd be gone by now?
