Oh dear, this BB has taken a dark turn of late.

Oh well at least it takes the heat of the real villian here...

For a while...

...

Somebody just bought 1m shares, must be another RNS coming.

I wonder, could he have bought into an ice cream making factory in Siberia ?

I've started reading Quady's posts in the voice of Starmer.

Try it, it's quite amazing how the two meld together.

That's a hard watch, I get the same feelings watching that as I do watching Starmer speak.

Looks like Birds been ringing around, we’ll be having Mr Shareholder Value himself next. Good old Old Man Smell.

Such a shame Panorama was cancelled.

I’d love to see Bird being chased down the street in Dubai by a bloke with a film crew and a microphone.

“What have you got to say to your shareholders Mr Bird ? “

“Mr Bird ?”

“MR BIRD ???”

And the due diligence will go like:

Wildstone " one for you and one for me"

Two weeks time " one for you and two for me"

A little while later " none for you and all for me"

After another short while:

CB: Err, 'as Wildstone changed their number ?

Quady;

A well balanced article but unfortunately a predictably unbalanced reply by yourself.

And of course you knew most of it already so it wasn't bringing much to your party.

You chose to ignore/omit the first 5 mins of the article where it was shown how the European manufacturers are rowing back on their EV goals despite such things as the French taxation regime.

The EV market is being driven by the glut of Chinese manufacturers arriving here and across Europe.

The presenter was of the impression that Plug-in hybrids were the (near) future. He drove one himself.

I'll just leave this here for balance.

I'm not pushing anything just thought it was interesting and waiting to see if the trend continues.

Lotus is near me and they have 200 EV's parked up on the old RAF Coltishall base. I was talking to a guy yesterday who works there and he was laid off yesterday until next Wednesday "to see if there is any work to do".

Their EV's are part built in China and finished here.

It's not only EV cars built here though, most luxury manufacturers are feeling the pinch with their ICE models too.

Did Starmer help them write this ?

It has wet wipe written all over it.

Have you ever thought it may be you who is the gullible one Quady ?

Of course not..........

So full of hate.

Paywall

I can see your thinking NtoM, so in reality we're stuck with him for now.

If Rachel from accounts goes through with the reduction of cash ISA's in favour of Investment ISA's we may see a bit of a revival in AIM as the poor unsuspecting cash saver ventures into the shark infested waters of the stock market.

Bird's RNS' have always created more questions than they answer but they are increasingly becoming more vague, rarely showing any detail that can be verified, costings, timescales even locations.

It's scary to think he can, and does,do what he likes with our funds and recently seems to be going more off piste.

WE NEED A CEO, somebody who can demonstrate a bit more responsibity.

I think he's protecting his salary (again) This way XTR will get drip fed for a longer period thuus prolonging his tenure and his £130k PA.

Also he wouldn't want to have to buy it back for a dollar if they missed a payment would he ?

That would bugger up his retirement payments from our company.

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Xtract, commented

"We have concluded discussions with the Buyers around their concerns with the pressure the future payment schedule would present to their current operations. The current mining is of oxide ore and due to the nature of the ore body the ore being mined will transition between oxides and sulphides, thus reducing overall recovery and profitability. The Buyers have confirmed the operation continues with the available oxides and is producing satisfactory returns on investment. During the process of designing the sulphide plant flowsheet, the Buyers have acquired additional sulphide projects in the adjacent area and the different metallurgical characteristics of these may affect the overall design of the sulphide plant. As a result of this the Buyers have asked that the payment schedule be amended to allow time for final ore testing leading to final sulphide plant design. Xtract is very familiar with the changing nature of the ore body at Manica and the effect this can have on the plant design. The Board have agreed to the Vendor's request, to revise the scheduling of the balloon and deferred payments on the basis that this will assist with a smooth transition from oxide to sulphide mining and a revised oxide mining plan which will ensure continuity of operations and maintain a stable working environment at Manica the cashflow from which is being used to pay Xtract."

Let's see then,

Because MMP and their pals are going to have to transition from alluvials to mining ore, something that was the main reason CB had to sell it IE the uncertainty of what the gold production would be and the cost of the plant, plus the they have bought some more land to mine elsewhere, we have to forego $3m until the the end of the period agreed ?

It looks like we are taking the risk we thought we had sold ( for a song) and subsidising the tricky transition so it won't such a worrying time for the poor dears ?

What a sorry state of affairs.

I think Bird is scared of that Montyfino.

If he goes drilling and finds nothing better than what he's already drilled it will remove all doubt that Bushranger is only viable with improved copper values.

I'd be surprised if he did but one good 'ole or maybe two could be " tie a bow around it time" for all of us.

Will he bother when he's hardly bothering in Zambia where copper is "red 'ot" ATM ?

MMMmmm.

I just need 750% from here and I'll be gorrrn.

It doesn't really work like that either. You can't just go digging on someone elses licence without permission.

It's all in the negotiation.

And when it came to a sale I think his judgement could have been clouded by what age he would be when the payments ended and how much he could gain in salary in the interim.

The cow is being milked.

So you better learn to say Mooooo and enjoy it while you can, because when the milk dries up, the cow goes to slaughter.

All together now.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

SP is sliding away a little, overdone on the ex divi date.

Will it bounce ?

Next week could be transformational but in which direction ?

I wish I had a crystal ball !
