Sounds pretty much along the lines of what the Company's stated intentions are. I'll check around and come back with any info I can dig out. That said, I was told last week that news would be along within 10 days, so we can't be far from an RNS. This really is going to make my year. GLA Jack

a number of times today if I will sell some of my shares @45p and more. No chance. These are in short supply and high demand and we all know what that means. Keep hold and accumulate when/if you can. GLA Jack

Can't argue with that my friend.....and all on a relatively low volume of trades. Can't begin to guess what will happen when the news hits. I'll be very happy with 80p, but I'm hearing broker targets of £1.30. Now that would make for a happy Christmas. GLA Jack

Another 20K today @45p. That's me maxed out. GLA Jack

Just checked my First Direct account and they managed to buy some for me as well. 25k @ 45p. May as well pile everything else in here tomorrow, then sit back and watch the fun. GLA Jack

Yeh, soz about that. My first thought was that it doesn't matter anyway but, of course, it does. Apart from the ISA issue, I feel that AIM companies lack a little credibility, i.e. seen as the poor relations and a higher investment risk. So it's good news all round. Managed to pick up 50K shares today @ 45, which appeared as a sale here. Could have had some more @ 50p, but didn't want to chase the price up further and I suspected that there maybe an opportunity to buy at less, prior to any news coming out. Might have a go tomorrow if it drops back to 45p. GLA Jack

Top 10 AIM share, IMVHO. That's because, contrary to the majority of AIM companies, there is hardly any risk in XPL. I imagine that, in years to come, this will be in the multiples of £s and in the FTSE 350 at least, but I'll most likely be out of here between £1 and £1.50. Rumours from the floor? How about at least one acquisition that is already producing revenue. That would keep the market very happy, as it would safeguard the Company's cashflow whilst they get on with the exploration work that comes with their first acquisition. Might also be some encouraging move on the funding front, but that's pure conjecture on my part. All in all, I would say buy if you can. I am now struggling to get my hands on any more stock, but I will buy as much as I can get and will sell all of my other investments to get it @ up to 50p. I would guess at news within two weeks. Please note that Rule 1 on investing in AIM is......ignore everything that you read on these boards and DYOR. GLA Jack

That's mills2. Hate to get folks names wrong. GLA Jack

Afternoon my friend and all in XPL. Will be able to give you my thoughts in the next day or two. Just topped up again today, if that's any clue :-)

Would never criticise folk who want/need to take profit. Ultimately, that's why we're all here. I expect that a few are piling into SOLG for a few weeks, or even ECR (news must come one day). Anyway, no need to worry ourselves, even if this goes back to the low twenties. The end game will more than justify investors confidence. GLA Jack

morning. Difficult to say, when four potential acquisitions are in progress at the same time. We were given an indication that news might be forthcoming in weeks, but as long as we get updates from time to time, I'm content that the Company will eventually come up with a blockbuster deal. I expect there to be just one acquisition, rather than four, at least in the short term, but then what do I know. A deal before Christmas would be good. I was expecting that we would stay around the 25p or below mark, until news was released, and then lift to something over 60p, but now it's anyone's guess. Mine would be 80p minimum. Can't really see a downside at this stage in the game and at this price. These people are not amateurs and it's not a start-up exploration company. Safest bet (it's AIM, so it must still be classed as a gamble) I've had on the AIM in 25 years. GLA Jack

Not me. Most likely a matched trade. As I've been saying, in markets where there aren't many shares about, holders will be contacted regularly by their brokers, in an attempt to prise a few shares off them. Whilst this particular trade will be a good one for the future, it broke one of the golden rules.....never buy on a spike (and certainly not one that isn't supported by news). The seller will most likely have bought back at under 43p. Nice work if you can get it. GLA Jack

Cheers. I have three options, via First Direct (can't recommend the service), Barclays and my stockbroker. No great problem getting buys through, although I haven't tried in the last 40 minutes. Dealing through various nominees has its advantages, particularly if you don't want to have to declare a holding over 3% (if that ever happens, of course) :-) Jack

Who are you dealing with? If the buys are generally limited, again, they're running out of shares and the sp will begin its move north again soon. The problem with getting noticed is that the day traders will see an opportunity, especially with a stock that has the potential to move 20+% in a day (two days running). It's what they dream about. When news hits, that will stop, until we reach our next level, whatever that may be. Can see one of my trades (8000@41.9) but not the other two (20K & 24K). Must be in there somewhere. GLA Jack

No problem. Between 40p and 42p. Could have some fun and trade a few, but too risky for my liking and, let's not forget, all this activity is for no reason, other than investors recognising an opportunity and being optimistic about the potential. So I'll smile at the 'unsubstantiated' peaks and buy each time there's a reasonable drop. GLA Jack

....and I'll keep mopping them up. Another 50K today. Pretty soon I'll have my own exploration company :-)))) Jack

Lol. I wish. The way I see this panning out in the future and with regard to the posting by Ivelostthelot (good spot, by the way) is: I believe that we shall see a really good sp rise on the announcement of the acquisition(s). This could be anything between 60p and £1+ IMVHO, dependent upon the actual details, but they are certainly not going to invest their funds in a no-hoper. Then, I think that we shall see a rights issue. Some will see such an event as a bad thing; others as another opportunity. Long term....stay with it; as this is heading for the FTSE 350 and in short order. GLA Jack

Only gossip but, for what it's worth, apparently a large Canadian company (I assume an explorer of some description) with major prospects in South America. Jack

Welcome on board. This was floated on the quiet back in the Summer. Managed to get a big chunk at the launch price (16p), thanks to my broker (there's a first time for everything). The directors and a few institutional investors have mopped up quite a large % of the share issue....and I've got the rest (only joking; I wish I had). The result is that there are very few shares available and brokers are very busy trying to prise shares away from existing holders, in order to fill purchase requests. This is why the price is rocketing on very little trading. When news comes out this will really fly. Minimum £1. GLA Jack

One told me today that they expect this to go as high as £1.30 in the short to medium term. That is major ramping, in my view, but we can dream. Now 25% up and I've already been offered well over 40p for some of mine (no chance). I'm here until £1, at least. Jack
