How anyone can watch that update video and not be even more bullish is beyond me.

More tin than they’ve announced in the PEA, growing demand, local support, government support… the list goes on!

There’s been a lot of positivity around the share price over the last 3 months. We’re nearly 50% up in that time. With financial backing announced, we could be at all-time highs.

Sounds about right. There's also a few other points to factor in...

1. Likely increase in tin demand as we move to a more electrified future

2. Possibly decline in production from elsewhere

3. Expected tariffs on imports to US from many non-friendly countries, suggesting importance being granted to UK supplies

My longer term (5+ years) target for this is 100p per share. I've bought as high as 22p and as low as 7p, average price of 11p.

A nice message to wake up to. I've bought more (not on the back of the announcement, I just had some dividends drop in so thought I'd use to them to buy some more CUSN), and will happily sit on them for years yet.

I can't see them making such an announcement unless they had a VERY high degree of confidence in the results being positive. The board tend not to sensationalise from what I've seen in my 4 years of owning shares in CUSN.

The opinion now is that we’re TWO YEARS away from production. Just relax, for your own (and the rest of ours) sanity.

Posting tin price updates when we’re not even mining is just a complete and utter irrelevance. It’s like telling you what my house is worth when I’ve got no intention of selling it.

Just keep buying the dips, and when we’re selling tin from the mine, be glad you did.

Here’s a prediction… in the next two years there’ll be both rises and falls in the value of EVERY share you own. You can call me mystic meg for that insight.

Marathon, not sprint.

Absolutely.

I like the forward planning, and financial markets are suggesting that in the medium term interest rates will be reducing. With lower borrowing costs, a growth-focussed global economy and a world hungry for tin, we could be in a very positive position by Q3 next year.

My target price is £1 per share with a 3 year horizon. In the meantime, I'll keep adding.

Expecting the share price to almost double because of the announcement of a new CEO is fantasy. Until finance, a takeover or production is announced, expect it to trickle sideways and maybe slightly upwards.

And relax - there's an element of paranoia about your posts! You were worried we were being kept in the dark about the appointment etc. Occam's razor and all that.

The board doesn't need to update the shareholders about every small detail. When there's real news (such as the appointment of a CEO), they let us know.

Just keep adding. You'll be glad you did.

It's nice to see some positive posting on this board for a change!

Having been invested in CUSN for a few years, I've grown used to the ups and downs. I'm 100% sure that when the next downturn comes (as it will, just watch), much of the negativity will return, but use this experience to become a more patient and less petulant investor.

We all want the same thing - our investment in the company to grow in value. Silly arguments on a forum will do little to change the outcome of what happens.

Early stage investment is a rollercoaster. We've had the down, now let's enjoy the ups!

Oh, and buy more shares when you can. I've topped up all the way through. On a long enough timeline, even 25p will look like a bargain. Just wait.

Assuming financing could be arranged, and the processing plant timescales brought forward, would the speed of dewatering need to be increase or is that not a hurdle to production at this stage?

Nearly 14% rise so far today - better than the near 50% reduction in SP over the last couple of years!

I always bought this as a long term investment. I've been an investor in CUSN for a couple of years, adding sporadically throughout.

I've seen the price in the 20's, and all the way down to recent lows. I feel that the PEA news today will kickstart the share price heading back up, and it's justification for the patience we've shown when a lot of people doubted the project and the investment.

A medium term share price of £1 would do very nicely indeed!

I've added more to my pile here - if (as anticipated) the PEA is positive then we can expect a sharp rise in SP. Anyone buying in at these levels could be on for quadrupling their money in the next couple of years if things go well.

A question for those more experienced in commodities investing than I...

Cornish Metals seem to be on a winner here. Looking at it as a lay person...

1. Existing mine infrastructure largely in place

2. Large tin reserves proven, with yet more inferred

3. Huge local support for the project

4. Easy access to much of the tin within the mine

5. Other useful metals present within the mines and general geology

6. Tin is on several critical minerals lists around the world

7. SC is a world class tin resource

8. Management of CUSN appears to be excellent

9. Various conflicts around the world and general geopolitical unease means having a stable supply domestically is even more valuable

10. The world NEEDS tin

11. CUSN is well-capitalised, well-run and has minimal debt

12. There's very little in the way of environmental impact of the project

13. It provides economic stimulus to an area of the country in desperate need of it

14. Tin price is sufficiently high to ensure good ROI for investors

15. The water treatment plant is improving the health of the red river

16. There's possibility of heating homes from the geothermal energy

So with those in place, other than an (unlikely) collapse in tin prices, what would get in the way of raising investment capital? Surely this is an open goal of an investment - especially at current stock price?

Just wanting to make sure I look at this from all angles and not just my rose-tinted glasses having grown up near the area!

I’d imagine so. There’ll also be updates on the progress of the de-watering. 20% complete, 50% complete etc. That, fund raising and tin price updates will determine SP to a degree I’d imagine.

My thesis here hasn't changed, despite my position being worth half of what it was a short while back.

The world needs tin. South Crofty has tin in abundance. It's UK based, meaning security and reliability of supply are a given. With recent global events showing how quickly supply chains can be destroyed, this can't be under-appreciated. Tin is it vital metal, and it's here.

The management team are very, very impressive. The updates to market are more frequent than any other company I invest in. So far it has been nothing but good news. Seemingly every infrastructure project is delivered on time and on budget (another sign of effective management).

The global economy is dragging at the moment, but that won't be the case forever. When global growth upticks, and the need for tin goes with it (those electrical items aren't built from cheese you know), a productive South Crofty will see the Cornish Metals share price fly.

I trust Richard Williams and the team. They've been quietly getting on with the job of turning SC back into a productive asset. I'm not especially interested in the share price. I will continue to add, and I'm very confident that when we look back in 2-3 years, we'll be glad we stayed the course.

Own thoughts (obviously), do your own research (obviously), but my advice is to ignore the current share price and focus on the long term. There's no other tin project in the world with these advantages.

My thoughts exactly. I've been lucky in that I only started buying around the 400p mark - some higher, some lower. My average on the share is 405, so I'm happy for it to be anywhere north of that and allow me to keep collecting my dividends!

Incoming merger, cost-cutting plan in place, stable revenues, a (seemingly) serious agenda to improve performance, falling debt, stable dividend, assets to sell, cheap share price.

I'm in no rush on these, so I've just bought a few more at 83p. I'll happily sit and wait on them, hopefully picking up dividends and a favourable capital gain in the process. I'm largely banking on the dividend remaining stable(ish), so time will tell if I'm right or not.

Another opportunity to pick up more shares. My logic is simple...

My average on this share is 405. The upcoming div is 20.7. The share price has to tumble a long way in order to put me in a losing position!

Aviva now the second largest position I hold in my portfolio.

With potential continuing uncertainty ahead, I've moved more of my money into these big, dependable stocks. I'll happily sit on this, collecting the dividends and mopping up more shares every time it dips below 450, which it regularly seems to do!
