Could well be Monday when any news comes out. My money is on a couple of info droplets, but not the main event (i.e. the acquisition details). GLA Jack

On the basis that nothing ever goes 100% according to plan (my/our plans, that is), I expect at least one or two strange twists before the inevitable rise to glory. I expect some news within the week. Whether it's the news we're expecting or not is another thing, but it won't change the fact that this stock is heading way north of £1 soon. GLA Jack

...the market reaction to this Company when the deals are announced (soon). We have a market capitalisation of just over £5m at the moment. I expect the potential assets after the aquisitions/rto/whatever to be $300m+. I also expect cash to pay for these ventures to be generated via a number of financial vehicles, including a placing that must, at least, double the current share allocation. You do the maths, but anyway you cut it, we're in at the start of something massive and that will grow hugely over the next few years. It's been a bit of a wait, but I truly believe that it's going to be worth it. We're going to be the talk and envy of the stock market in the next month or so. I'm selling all other stock that I have and putting the proceeds into this one basket. Against all dealing advice, I know, but that is how confident I am about XPL. GLA Jack

Not much I'm afraid. Just a matter of waiting now until Spring get things finalised. I expect that the first/next news we hear now will be concerning the appointment of a major firm of brokers to assist/advise them going forward. Be cool though; this will happen for us soon. GLA Jack

What if.......Spring Capital purchased both acquisitions for, say, £40m, and then reversed the two into XPL. XPL could then issue a new batch of 28.75 million shares to match the new asset value of the Company, e.g. 40 million less 11.25 million existing. I'd settle for £1 a share under that scenario, given that XPL will be buying underperforming assets and making them sing. In fact, rather than sell what I have, I may be tempted to buy into a new placing. Hey ho; just musing. Jack

A little bit longer to wait..but it's going to be worth it. As Moreforus has highlighted; we now have a timeline. In my opinion we will see news of both acquisitions in March. I am very excited about the appointment of advisors to take this forward. I expect one of the big hitters to be brought in to make this fly. Keep the faith. GLA Jack

Looks like I was wrong about news this Friday or next Monday :-) Jack

I hear Friday, this week, or possibly Monday next. This will be the interim statement and I've no word on what detail on the acquisition(s) will be included, if any. Let you know if I get more. GLA Jack

Chillax folks. All that I know is that every time a batch of shares comes to the market, it gets snapped up almost immediately. No involvement from me this time (I wouldn't sell and have no funds available to buy just yet). We're nearly there. I'll post whatever info I get. GLA Jack

Used to be one of the largest investors there. Made around £150K and did a bit of trading, before deciding there was just too much risk (certainly compared with XPL) and selling up. I am keeping an eye on the stock and I expect that there may well be an opportunity to make money, if the timing is right, i.e. XPL does its stuff and I can sell a bit at £1 and over. Despite what the chat rooms say about money in the bank, I'm expecting another cash call soon. Just depends on the offer price and associated business potential that goes with it. I've always been suspicious about Tulla and Themac/ECR and I'd be happier if ECR were bought out and used the capital to fund SLM and Itogon. Of course, if that happened, there would be no need for a cash call. Interesting stuff, if you're not invested and taking the risk. Apologies for the O/T. Jack

As it's Chinese New Year, how about 8th Feb (8 being a very lucky number in China). Just a bit of fun. GLA Jack

Just a lucky guess :-)

Not really. I've done my work and invested accordingly. I'm not interested in trying to get others to follow my lead or getting into debates with people who's motives I don't know (and, to be fair, they don't know mine either). DYOR. Jack

My info is that some chump sold 100k shares @ around 47p, when the sp was 10p more than that. Oh well; their loss is our gain. GLA Jack

Can't believe the c*** posted on here over the last few days (not by the investors that have been here from the outset, or near to that). The MMs have seen another opportunity to shake this morning and, bless 'em, have presented me with another 40k shares at 49.5p & 50p. If this little beauty comes anywhere near my target, I'm a millionnaire :-))) GLA Jack

Not a chance. Added 42k last week and tried again today, but none available. MM playing with the sp to generate some business. Just hold tight and add if you can; news is on its way. Only traders need worry about short term movements in the sp. If you can't wait a couple of months for a multi-bagger, you're in the wrong game. GLA Jack

All conjecture and hearsay (as opposed to insider info), but I've put a lot of money on it. Please DYOR. GLA Jack

Know what you mean (just look at SOLG, REM, SOU, ECR). My info is that a deal has been done for one of the target acquisitions, so the question may not be valid for XPL. Of course, the value of the acquisition needs to be assessed by the market, once it's announced, and it may be that the price already reflects this value, but I very much doubt it. For traders, there is always a risk, no matter what the long term prospects of any particular stock, AIM or Blue Chip, but for us investors, I see minimal risk with this stock. My expectation for 2014 is between £1 and £1.50, with up to double that within three years. GLA Jack

Been busy elsewhere as nothing happening here during the last part of December. Should have news released by mid January. As Milky says, deal on one acquisition done before Christmas. Expect a short suspension, when the time comes, followed by a re-rate to £1+. GLA Jack
