Unfortunately, I couldn’t get there. Does anyone know if it was recorded and if it will be available to watch?

A good strategy and one that I'm adopting. I don't see the point in buying new brits. As soon as you (or your beneficiaries) sell them, they become used coins anyway. 30 used brits from Atkinsons (2014-2023) are £107,7500. A good place to put some of the gains made.

I've just booked my place at the forthcoming Q&A session on 13th May.

Anyone else going? It's in Mayfair. It would be good to meet Rupert and his team.

Goodbye JCEP. A pointless and rude post. I would wish you luck, but clearly you don't need any.

That's very naive, JCEP. Are you new to AIM?

Yup. GGP has done very well for me, Scoutt! I have confidence in the team and they'll deliver best value for SHs, just as SD has done for GGP. As a result, I'm so am not unduly worried.

Scoutt - Simon Trott, the CEO of Rio Tinto appointed in August 2025, said that the new strategy was to simply operations and have three divisions ,focussing Iron Ore, Copper, and Aluminum/Lithium. SVML's deposit would not align with this. Only time will tell.

I posted this last week and I think it's important to recognise this.

Santhi, Sax and Itsa. I do admire your faith in the team to deliver enough for you to buy more. I sincerely hope you come out of this with a huge gain. Am I missing something here? I just can't seem to believe in the way that you do.

MM - I am but a lowly PI and have no idea what ST is thinking. I just read the business press, listen to podcasts (I find Rick Rule and quite a few others worthy of a listen) and boards such as this to stay informed to try and make the best decision I can. I do think that this will come to a satisfactory conclusion, with or without RT, and that's why I stay invested for the longer term. It's paying off/has paid off with GGP and COBR and I have similar faith in the leadership, here. Biotechs are a different story though!

Good luck to all.

Not sure that's true, JB. I believe the board have shattered any belief that existing SHs may possess that they're commercially savvy enough to deliver any real value. Being stung in this way isn't easy to either forget or dismiss. You may well see another wave of new SHs come in though, believing what I did when I first invested. I've leaned a lot by being invested here! The fact that the board have decided to reward themselves for the recent failures and decimation of the SP, speaks volumes.

Firstly, I am invested here, have a reasonably-sized holding, do believe in the project and its potential. I do, however, think we all need to mindful of how speculative this is. There are many things that can go awry between now and what we are all hoping to be delivered. I'm really just echoing what Rick Rule said in his recent chat with Steve Barton, which was a good reminder to me that we're on AIM and in the African mining sector. Rick is long on this, and that does give me some comfort, though!

Have a good weekend, all.

Welcome aboard, Just…

I’ve been here since the 1p days and feel the same as you. I’ve been invented in GGP for a while as well and just love reading the stories of the life-changing wealth that’s been generated for some SHs who stuck with it. Who knows, it might well be mirrored here? Good luck to all SHs.

Is anyone here invested in SVML? I am and have similar hopes there.

CCC - I think that a few people invested in GGP may also in COBR as I see familiar posters pop up. I am and have been since January 2025 when the SP was sitting just above 1p. Rupert seems to be super-smart and executing his plan well. Like you, I have high hopes of this playing out rather well. Rare earths are in the headlines for a number of reasons and, for me, Cobra ticks many boxes. On the subject of other investments, I wonder if anyone here is in the uranium space?

Itsa -It's not cheap as chips if you believe it could go much lower. A pretty obvious thing to write, but people were writing the same when the SP was £1.50, £1.00, 80p......etc.

UVT - Any chance you can stop cluttering up the board with your posts, please? All you do is try and ramp the share (along with many other shares) and it’s rather annoying. I suppose the green ‘bin is the answer.

I've emailed Juho, this morning to express my disdain at the way in which the raise was handled and that I'm rallying as many PIs as possible to vote against the recommendation the board are paid as outlined in resolution 10 in the forthcoming AGM.

Cov. I’m fully aware of the fact that us PIs can’t influence the outcome, but it’ll make me feel better. That’s all I’ve got here at the moment! 😂

A question. Thanks to my GGP investment, I'm going to buy some gold Britts. The pre-owned Britts are slightly cheaper and I wonder what the advantage is of buying new ones. As soon as I decide to sell them (or more likely my children will), they will be pre-owned anyway and, I assume, worth less.

Is anyone minded to vote against the proposal contained in the agenda for the AGM, for the directors who oversaw the shambolic and SP-destroying fund raise to be paid? I know us retail investors have next to zero influence on such matters but just feel the more of us who send that message, the better.
