Morning Rattie,

Thanks for your reply, I only wish I had taken the US intelligence view that he was about to start a ww3 and invade Ukrain more seriously, we even had some relations staying with my inlaws at the time who normally worked in Ukrainian and on holiday over here and they did not think Putin would go ahead, and it was all bluster .....
We were all proved wrong, they were on their phones calling home all night long and left the next day to go back home.

Glad you are keeping well and have after all these years made some money here,

That old adage ..... " A Bird in the Hand is worth Two in the Bush " .... comes to mind.

At 40p I should have walked away because I had already amassed a small fortune by investing here, more than all the money I had earned during my working lifetime, But, I got greedy with all the good news the Company was releasing and decided to stay invested ..... A Big Mistake in hindsight and one I will have to live with!

Take care and stay well,

All the best

Ian

Evening Rattie,

Good to hear from you and I hope you are keeping well, giving up that awful smoking habit 76-odd years ago must go a long way to have helped you to stay well :-)

You have been a very long-term investor in EUA for some 12 years now I believe, may I ask, were you still holding EUA shares when Putin invaded Ukrain after him saying he was not going to, did you foresee and derisk, or did you think it was all bluster on his part and a very unlikely scenario ....

Just curious as I certainly did not think Putin would do what he did and put his country back 30 years, as I say just curious from your perspective as a very long-term shareholder and one who was also in the forces many years ago...

Just making small talk on a Sunday evening,

All the best and take care,

Regards Ian.

Truthfactory ....

"The hydrogen thing with EUA is a pipe dream and a distraction-you can extract hydrogen from the water coming out of a tap!"

We ALL know that, ... BUT ... what precious metal do you need to make the anodes and cathodes for an electrolysis cell out of?

When I was at school it was Platinum .....

Just saying......

Morning Les,

Good to hear from you and I hope you and Angie enjoyed your holiday in Scotland last year,

I hope Angie is still able to get out and about, our thoughts are with you and wish her well from us on here.

Kindest regards

Ian

Thank you Gazala,

Currently, nothing else has gone wrong with this old body :-)

Kind regards

Ian

Good morning all,

Our poster SeaSick requested this date as it is his 50th Birthday today,

So Happy Birthday to you SeaSick and I hope this finds you well and that you have a lovely day!

On the point of .... IF ONLY WE HAD SOLD THESE SHARES AT 40p ....

Without going over old ground as to why we are where we are with this stock,

And nothing derogatory is intended for the persons mentioned,

If we feel sick for what we have missed out on because of Putin and his war machine currently decimating the share price,

Spare a thought for Anders and Phil, who were sitting on massive profits at the time, and they also decided to stay invested because they also expected a sale price to be much higher than the at the time, share price...

So try not to think .... Why did I not sell at 40p,

It will only start to cut you up and make your life miserable,

In my eyes, there is nothing wrong with the company that is getting on with the day job and even growing,

I don't blame the company for anything, as it may all come good for shareholders in the future,

We were all caught out by Putin's actions and thought the sale was in a more advanced stage than it actually was!

Now just a waiting game,

Good luck everyone, I've had a year of cutting myself up over this and it has gotten me nowhere,

So try not to blame yourself we are all currently in the same boat and human,

Stay safe and well everyone,

Cheers.

We don't know the final outcome here yet so we shouldn't prejudge ....

We know the buyer had completed their due diligence and from the RNS assume happy to progress,

We saw the company was getting on with the day job, buying more plant and machinery,

We saw they built three more wash plants,

We say they were applying for more licences,

We saw they had an option over nine more mine areas that the company took a two-year option over,

We saw that the company was going to install a massive dragline Crain to increase output and have green credentials to boot.

We saw that the company was approached from outside to see if it wanted to sell some of its assets,

There were so many good points for investing in this company at the time,

Only Putin and his war machine have put a spanner in the works....

We have been informed that the prospective buyer is from a BRICS country,

The company is not under any sanctions presently, and why should it,

The Directors and senior staff own 20% of the company,

We will have to see what pans out in the future before we can say anything negative about the company,

Currently, the company operates in the wrong place .... And this is due only to Putin and his war machine,

Back to hindsight, and if only I had sold at 35 - 40p

But with the talk of EUA v2 and future dividends, our hearts overruled our heads....

The traders have won so far,

The investors, NOT so much,

Still holding, but think greed may have played a part here!

Good luck everyone,

Can only blame Putin, or yourself if greedy,

Or both in my case :-)

Good Health everyone,

Cheers.

Morning Bumble,

Very well said, I certainly did think a sale would go through and at a higher price than the share price.

And if it didn't we did have a fallback plan with funding (Sinosteel)

I did not take Putin seriously enough, I thought why would anyone harm their own county and put them back 30 years...

I was wrong..... and by that time the share price was way down,

I never planned for that contingency :-(

We are where we are, and we can only hold or sell or bottom draw till this war ends.

Good luck everyone, hindsight is a wonderful thing ...

I think you must be in a different time zone .... :-)

It is 4.09p on Google on my computer and your post at 08.40 am is in the future, according to my clock the time is 08:39 precisely :-)

Where has all the money gone .... seems to be the derampers line of thought ...

May I offer up some costly things that the company has achieved recently that might explain the expenditure!

From the recent RNS:-

- Grid electric power is now available at site with the power line construction completed, the high voltage substation construction completed, and all necessary peripherals completed and commissioned.

- Electric dragline (70m/11m3) is now fully assembled and is under final high voltage electrical testing and the contractual 72-hour continuous performance test.

- Eurasia's electric dragline operators have had on the job training during the circa one year-long assembly period. Another training programme has just been completed.

- A late season infill drilling programme to determine the final 2023 mine design has been completed.

Only a suggestion :-)

Not trying to start an argument ....

Happy New Year :-)

Good morning all,

I hope you all had lovely New Year celebrations and have lost that headache .... if you just happened to have overindulged :-)

Today's first guess of 2023 is ..... 99Treble ..... and Happy belated Birthday for Sunday the 1st of January.

Good luck everyone for 2023 .....

Off-Topic!

My mate Clive who is one of the Thursday Breakfast Club has had a bad start already to the New Year,

Three Scumbags stole his mid-blue FORD Fiesta yesterday morning at 3 am,

It took them just 30 seconds to gain entry via the boot, they then climbed over the seats and into the front,

After another 2.5 minutes, the car is started and all three scumbags drive off in Clive's car,

All this is captured on video from his security cam above the front door,

The reg is GJ65 RPO, will he ever see it again? ..... who knows, but 2023 hasn't had a very good start for Clive,

Everyone on Facebook .... Just add /clive.bruce.169/videos/860926775028845/ after the . com to see his car being stolen in under three minutes, and if you have any information or see the car anywhere about please get in touch.

Good luck everyone,

Cheers.

I just popped in to wish everyone here a very Happy New Year and a prosperous 2023,

I myself will not be staying up to see in the new year as I have caught this cold that is doing the rounds, it starts off with a tickly cough without the typical sore throat first and then develops into a full-blown cold.

My nice warm bed awaits, have a good one all,

Cheers

Ian.

Morning E_AL,

'You posted Lindor Martin just paid £8,287,719'

I think you may have made a decimal point mistake :-)

I make it ..... £82977.19 for 0.25p

Have a good Christmas,

Cheers.

Good morning all,

Today's hopeful, the last before Christmas is -

----------
RailwayPete - 23/12/22
----------

Good luck Pete,

I hope you are all keeping well at this time of year with all the colds and flu that are about,

We come to Christmas 2022 knowing that EUA are still working hard carrying out the day job and highlights from the latest RNS:-

- Total production for the 2022 season is approximately 200kg of raw platinum concentrate (up 77% from 113kg in 2021) from the Bolshaya Sosnovka and Kluchiki areas with a total average grade of 363mg/m3 and a notable high-grade seam at Kluchiki providing 3.7kg raw platinum from just 3,800m3 of gravels (grading 984mg/m3).

- Grid electric power is now available at the site with the power line construction completed, the high voltage substation construction completed, and all necessary peripherals completed and commissioned.

- Electric dragline (70m/11m3) is now fully assembled and is under final high voltage electrical testing and the contractual 72-hour continuous performance test.

The dragline operates with a 70m boom and 11 m3 bucket and has a designed earth-moving capacity of around 150,000 m3 per month. The machine is intended to replace several diesel-powered excavator-bulldozer combinations and all of the stripping capacity contracted out for the 2022 mining season and is also less limited in terms of stripping depth.

Some photographic updates of the dragline in a final state of assembly are available to view on the Company's website via: https://www.eurasiamining.co.uk/operations/west-kytlim

This is an excellent update for investors in EUA, considering, what is going on all around.

After today's trading session closes it will resume next Wednesday the 28th of December.

Do have a lovely Christmas everyone, where ever you may be in the world,

Here is my (recycled from 2020) Christmas card to you all, times are getting hard:-) so ignore the wording as it is well out of date!

Also,

A light-hearted moment! from back in 2007, a spoof that was doing the rounds back then.

Have a good day and a Great Christmas everyone,

Cheers.

Good morning all,

It's a cold and icy one here in the UK today please take care if out and about,

I'm off out for the Thursday breakfast meet as usual which will be nice,

Today's hopefuls are:-
----------
SaxonAxe - 08/12/22 - Good Luck matey :-)
DavePenny - 08/12/22 - Happy Birthday to your sister :-)
----------

Good luck everyone,

Cheers.

Herbicide :-)

You seem to purposely forget to mention the excellent share price rise from 0.2p to 41p in the first place!

And now you don't blame Putin for its hopefully temporary collapse, even though the company is getting on with the day-to-day job!

What a funny old perspective you have on this stock ...

Enough from me, enjoy your day ....

Good morning all,

Today's hopeful is CrispySeaweed - 01/12/22

No idea if he is still invested or not?

I am feeling much better and off to join the boys for the Thursday breakfast this morning,

followed by a trip to Southend Central Museum which has a new exhibition celebrating the centenary of the foundation of Eric Cole's first radio repairing business which he started in Leigh-on-sea, before moving to bigger premises later on to a spacious new factory at Southend-on-Sea.

When the factory closed it was used by the Access credit Card Company for many years, and I did work providing leased lines for them in my day job.

I never knew much about the history of ECHO though, and this came from researching an old Flurosent light fitting I took down in the garage and found it was made by Ekco-Ensign Electric Ltd,

Google led me to find this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EKCO

Most people will recognise the name ECHO as it was on most radios or TVs in the 1960s employing some 8000 employees at one time.

Good Luck to all the LTH

Cheers.

Afternoon Portsmouth (Colin),

So sorry to hear you have had enough, but can fully understand your position.

This used to be a great stock to hold and we all wanted to be there at the finishing line (party)

Putin put an end to that dream or at least a long delay!

All the best my friend

Stay well, and good luck in the future with your investments,

Kindest regards

Ian

Afternoon Mr Wolf,
wrong as usual I see, but kind of you to enquire about my op..

I think it did go well but I will know more after the pathology lab has done its thing on what they removed.

I was in so much pain when trying to eat after, I could only eat when the painkillers were in full effect as swallowing would make me climb the wall in agony, it was like swallowing razor blades, an unfortunate side effect from the op that also gave trauma to my Uvula as well which had grown in length and was causing me to gag all the time...

Sleep deprivation was typical as I was on so many painkillers that I could only take them every six hours in case of liver damage, and the soothing effect from them only lasted up to three hours, so three hours in pain till the next dose!

Luckily now over the worst, and yesterday, I did make it for my first Thursday breakfast since the op on the 7th Nov,

Now managing to sleep through till 5 am and not 1 am as in most of last week,

My Uvula now shrunk back to a more normal length and no more gagging,

Only requiring painkillers for the bone pain as swallowing is back to pain-free :-)

Just a mouth full of stitches that should start to dissolve soon.....

No, I have only ever had one moniker, and that is Ian_...

Unlike you Mr Wolf, I have ever only needed the one moniker :-)

I hope you are keeping well old friend,

Cheers.

Morning Pete,

I arrived at the hospital at 7 am and after the application of DVT stockings etc I was the first on the list into the operating theatre at 9:00 am,

I was joking with the anaesthesia nurse "was this the operating theatre where they found the dead pigeon"

Oh, you heard about that she exclaimed.

It was on the front page of the Echo I said ...

https://chof360.com/southend-hospital-operating-theatre-closes-for-dead-pigeon/

This operating theatre was not the one involved she reassured me, anyway I knew it had been deep cleaned after the discovery but I was just making small talk before I fell asleep...

In the recovery ward, I awoke just before 11 am,

I enquired how long was I in the operating theatre.

1.5 hours she replied...

So quite a big operation then to take that long!

Back in my ward, I was offered a drink and a soft yoghurt to eat,

I recovered very well and was discharged just after 3 pm, it took a long time for my course of strong antibiotics to be issued by the hospital dispensary.

Back home and on paracetamol, I was quite comfy and fancied some soft food, I found a lasagna and thought that would go down well,

They removed my rearmost molar and drilled a 10mm hole through my jawbone for access, and I have an incision for about 30mm in the gum leading back to where my impacted wisdom teeth might have been.

My mouth has lots of stitches and looks quite neat with so far only a small amount of swelling, the cyst has been sent off to pathology and I have no numbness and full use of my tongue which is the best outcome I could have wished for..

On trying to eat I winced in pain on swallowing, having a look in that area at the back of my throat revealed a bloody area on my uvula, the fleshy, teardrop-shaped piece of tissue in the back of my throat was swollen and had a small cut on it, but boy was it painful to swallow, it will get better by the day and is just a casualty of the operation...

Slept very well and am so glad that is over, I have no fear of operations in general, but this one was for something that caused me no apparent symptoms but just showed up on a dental checkup X-ray that they do now and again, had it caused me any pain I could have had it removed before it grew so large, but it did not cause any pain at all, so I never knew there was a problem until it was too late for a minor operation....

Thank you all for your kind get-well wishes the other day and I'm now well on the mend, might be some time before I can eat crisps though :-)

Kind regards to all

Cheers

Ian
