I'm with you, Figes and never read one of these before. I'm sure PB will be doing the media rounds and will explain and precis it for the likes of us. With comments like 'the results suggest that we are only beginning to define a very substantial tin and copper system', it does bode well. They also believe that this could mirror Alphamin, 'next door', which even I know is an incredible resource. I've also read that Alpgamin is coming towards the end of its mine life, so the owners/operators my be looking closely at we have to extend their operation (and use much of their existing infrastructure?). Interesting times.

Shouldn't that be:

The delicious irony of you berating somebody for their spelling of Kennedy, when your level of grammatical skill doesn't extend to you being able to understand the difference between 'your' and 'you're', as your comment below will evidence:

Is that a double-irony?

You do make me smile, Bmhltd. Thank you. Just a coincidence that you entered the fray at the low point then?

Bmhltd. In April 2024 (your second post on this board), you wrote:

'Likely be games along the way but sub £95m Mcap is a crazy valuation given what the big pharma will be willing to stump up soon. AIMO DYOR.'

You post in depth and frequently and clearly consider yourself to be an authority on everything Faron. With that in mind, I'd be grateful if you could answer a few questions:

What is your perception of 'soon' apropos your belief that BP would 'stump up soon'? (written in April 2024)

From where do you source your information before posting your detailed notes/assessments of the situation?

Do you have any evidence that deals with BP are going on in the background? You have posted this type of message dozens of times.

Thank you.

That’s incorrect, Mr. Tracy. One can offer an alternative opinion, but pointless posts will be called out, along with inaccurate posts, factually incorrect posts etc. I’m not really sure that anyone is interested if Espen invested or not. It’s just attention seeking.

I’m sure I recall Rick Rule saying that the current average %tage of gold in portfolios is 0.5% and the long term average is 2%. He makes the point by just returning to the long term average would mean a four-fold increase in demand.

There was a time when I had a sinking feeling when I saw the SP in the red. Whilst I always understood that any rise is not linear, it still caused a little flutter of the heart. Thanks to the fabulous output of certain posters on this message board, I understand what we've got here and those feelings have completely dissipated. The extent of knowledge and understanding is incredible. Thank you.

Have a good weekend, all. That even extends to the numerous people I have green-binned in order to reduce the clutter.

I'll leave it there now as these exchanges don't achieve anything, but thank you for your time and effort. I do take your point about managing expectations on news flow, though.

Of course, GMD, but we all know there are ways of communicating that both respect an NDA (again, a bold assumption on your part) and keeping investors updated and informed. Other companies and organisations achieve this but I feel Faron don't have the right balance here. To read 'positive' post after post from random accounts who may know nothing more than I do actually erodes my confidence, but perhaps that's just me.

Be careful what you write, K, CW and LoL. I challenged the never-ending narrative perpetuated by BMHLtd and others of where they believe this is heading and received an invitation to leave the board (not forgetting to 'shut the door' on my way out). It would appear that one cannot challenge anything or hold an opinion/express a view that is contrary to theirs. Pathetic really. I've been a shareholder for quite a while and want this to succeed as much as anyone, but don't see any real progress on a deal.

On Friday, there was a trade of £324.5k at a price of 432.67p reported. I find it odd that there are such variances in the price, especially on such a large purchase. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

These are Rupert's written words, taken from the RNS. No doubt he'll be doing interviews. Great communication and one that takes us another step forward.

1. Boland's unique geology enables controlled ISR - a sustainable and low-cost mining process - which allows us to reduce capital costs and operational risks associated with handling clay ores, and

2. The mineralisation's unique chemistry that will enable us to minimise our sulphuric acid consumption, further reducing operational costs and project carbon emissions by utilising the orebody's chemistry to achieve optimal recovery conditions.

The Boland Project metallurgy keeps getting better and better. Not only is the geology amenable to low-cost extraction, the mineralisation is capable of doing much of the work itself. Minimising operational costs through such ingenuity will greatly strengthen the economics of the Boland Project. Whilst these results are leftfield, when coupled with recent ISR column results, the narrative becomes obviously clear: we are unlocking the potential of a unique Rare Earth discovery that can meet the needs of emerging markets."

Just more of the same, really. Presentation after presentation. I need something material to land to keep me here and interested, having seen the SP lose 20% in the past year. I did re-allocate some capital into gold mining and other natural resource stocks a year ago and this is the only pharma I retained. I'm now beginning to regret it. Still in profit but seen a lot of that being nibbled away, week on week.

Thank you, Bamps. Appreciated. Learning as I go. I'm now reading, in more detail, the October presentation. Having focussed on Page 19, the comments about the additional drilling and opportunities for the future, make a lot more sense now.

More for my education than anything else and I wouldn't even contemplate me offering advice to those who know far more than I do. I'm just thinking logically. If the gold price is rising to such an extent that it becomes viable to mine and process lower grade ore, do miners extract and process the lower grade ore that was previously uneconomic and stockpile the higher grade ore to process if the gold price falls? Or do they 'make hay while the sunshines' and just focus on the higher grade ore? There must come a point where the processing facilities are running at 100% so all ore can't be processed? Forgive me if this is a silly question. I'm trying to understand more.

I just read all these posts about missed deadlines and think' what's the point of them?' Whatever is written in the message board, isn't going to change anything and I just retain my complete trust and faith in the team to deliver. There'll be a reason for the RNS not being released and patience is clearly required.

Sax. It would seem you and I have some similarities in our portfolio. I too have some interest things going on with my mining and natural resources shares. More patience and belief required it would seem . 🤞🤞

BmhLtd, who has been posted a lot of upbeat comments, seems to have disappeared. I'm really not sure what's going on here. So may times I've read that 'deals are probably going on in the background', yet we get nothing from the company.

Surely shorters can only be ‘let out’ if people decide to sell? I’m certainly not letting anyone get their hands on mine!
