GRQ - you know as much as me as you watched the video - I spent no time discussing South American expansion post video but you have to wonder why that was the opening slide - this man is used to raising money for big projects as well as knowing how to get the best out of a stripper!

Porker - you've been slating NR for years and now you're suggesting the new man won't be able to meet your needs, without knowing what he is going to do, surely you are happy there is a new man at the helm! Leo hasn't been too expansive on the big plan yet but the opening slide at the presentation gave a hint that South America was his oyster so even people like you who don't see great potential in the current assets can have hope for the future. If you don't see any potential here a sensible investor would consider selling up and moving cash to a more appealing prospect.

A smooth transition is desirable in these circumstances for all parties - the company has already agreed there is an important role for Neil in dealing with the Spanish concession renewal and clearly he has other important knowledge to pass on - these additional costs will, hopefully, be seen as inconsequential in the overall scheme of things, if the company achieves anything like the progress attributed to the new man's aspirations!

LayLadyLay - Leo has Stuart as his straight man - if the position of Spin Doctor became available I would insist on a double act with me doing the one - liners would it be ok if I pencilled you in for Nightmare Nurse ROFL!!!!

S4LMO - kind of you to be so complimentary about my recent posting history - seems like most like his vision!,

S4LMO - have a scroll through my history - he has my blessing - shame you weren't there Wednesday with your bagpipes - we could have given Neil the flavour of the sort of send off Leo got from the previous job! Glad you're supportive - you will be aware from the video he is mindful of the need for shsreholders to be supportive as positive sentiment helps shareholders and the company particularly in an expansion phase. He needs to be careful the baby is not thrown out with the bath water but I've been assured experienced officers of the company will give good counsel - including NR!

Pete68 - don't think Friday's post was a winner - only a mug would present the same ticket so soon after - did you think we wouldn't notice LOL!

Dazbrad - I watched it from that link only Yesterday - Leo was fortunate I took full account of the fact that it was his first day on the payroll in my exchanges with him which was a big stretch for my diplomacy skills compared to the daily fair here!

daza66 - are you able to share with the board what the final nail in the coffin was - there are a few others that need a bit more encouraging LOL!!!!

LayLadyLay - I have never said there is no chance water won't be present in oil - I pointed out to you LGO knew water could be produced from the outset as water separation infrastructure was present when they took on Goudron - shareholders would prefer it if there was none but only a fool would rule out that possibility LayLadyLay! Petrotrin only pay us for oil not water and have their checks to give them comfort which, again, have been well documented. You were the one attempting to make something of it - not sure why - I was pretty bored with it from the outset but the company issued a FAQ to clarify the position.

Porker - the new ' magician' has an enviable track record - why not give him a chance or apply your support elsewhere - I thought you just wanted NR out so you should be happy with the new guy - why bother to hang around if you're not!

Daz - I strongly recommend you redouble your effort to watch the brr media - the link is on the LSE home page for LGO. The development plan for LGO is short on detail at this time but the pitch from Leo gives an indication of past achievements and enables investors to imagine what may be possible in the future with an executive who is well trusted in the market.

VanVan - you are a loyal supporter of the company and I'm therefore reluctant to disagree with you but I do think there is a difference between the projections for production given during the mine building stage and provision of information now based on actual production. It doesn't matter how many caveats are included investors will seize on any tit bit now and project that forward which may not be the outcome bullish shareholders are looking for - I therefore agree the policy of release in June and even then I expect the figures will be well qualified because a poor first result will take some time to fade in the memory of the market. Here's hoping for encouraging initial figures!

Post Recommended Northy!

Levi - got to say that if that vacancy comes up Tracy gets my vote as he seems to better understand the business and knows that investors want to see the plan unfold with the research to back it up. No vacancy at present - even though some on here were sharpening the knives at one stage not too long ago!

4kandles - I don't have a problem with negative posting about a stock to get the SP down provided the posts aren't full of bullshyte blaming my hero Kerim for things he is not responsible for and threatening to have him sacked over it! If I had a £ for every time I'd read the sagacious comment ' the SP does not lie ' I wouldn't be posting on here now - SP graph is not usually a straight line market sentiment is significant and at the moment despite the fantastic potential of Salinbas it's a bit far out to generate huge interest - until we see more evidence of salivating grades and the plan to extract value. Production from RR is still unknown so there is a good window to bash the share for a while for those minded so to do ! BTW as for Kerim not speaking the language of the institutional investment community you are entitled to your opinion but my hero has done brilliantly to get the project this far - he knows what's needed next - it's solid production data - I think institutions as well as PI realise that is key - hope it works out for you!

Kalahari - many thanks for your feedback on the AGM - good luck with your investment - plenty of opportunities out there for our cash to actually earn some decent profit!

Northy - I've only recently changed the bag on my vacuum so there's a bit to go yet ! It's normal practice to release key elements of information in association with the Nomad and most people are aware of this ( it also adds to the excitement!). We have been given a steer that production information will be available in June, so between 4 & 8 weeks to wait, but I'm only basing that on the recent videos. I'm not convinced that earlier release of production information would be beneficial for AAU shareholders because any information will be used by investors to make a judgement on buying or selling and early release of, for example, relatively poor figures, is likely to be negative for the company even if it is qualified to the nth degree about, poor grade ore being deliberately run first, teething problems with machinery, lower than normal working hours, etc - although De Villiers teased us that there was no cause for concern in his presentation! If you don't like the ' withholding ' going on here I'm thinking AIM may not be the right place for you as my experience is that it's the norm and it helps most experienced investors as they know when key info is likely to be released. I may be completely wrong to have drawn any conclusion from the fact that's De Villiers bothered to mention that the debt for the mine was on the JV balance sheet not AAU during his presentation- could that have been a hint that AAU may be borrowing for future funding if they have cash flow to support it - the joys of speculation Northy!!!

Northy - you have some ideas for improving company profitability and I recommend you email AAU and await a response. Your plans for the company were not in any research i undertook prior to share purchase and presumably Kerim made no promises to you he would manage the company in accordance with any future ideas you may have so you bought in with the same information as me and everyone else - if you thought the company wasn't sufficiently growth orientated why did you buy in the first place - you should have bought a share with a profile better suited to your expectations! Having said that although the delay in mine completion was a disappointment Kerim has played a blinder on Salinbas which you could not have been aware of prior to your share purchase and I would argue that will make the mine delay pale into insignificance in the future so Kerim is still looking good to me. The SP will better reflect potential when investors see the production figures - June we are told. ATB Northy !

wiltshireman - IMO AAU are doing the right thing by talking about the Government incentives for the business in Turkey. I do not expect or wish them to comment on the political situation - that is for individual investors to consider. Donald Trump was one of the first to offer congratulations after the recent election - I know you follow him closely!
