This is a welcome surprise. If it is followed up with news over the next few weeks that would be grand.

I think for news we can bank on it has to be Cyprus, which is great..... I think Caerus were suggesting they would JORC Trouli... but maybe I misread. Also Jubilee supplying the mining equipment and they must be a smooth operation by now, so we should get a benefit from positive design, procurement and fabrication news.
The Philippines news could drop at any minute too however I know from sad experience that if we had to wait for licence news to move the shareprice it would be like watching a (non) boiling kettle......
Thank goodness for Cyprus.... and all the other prospects following after.

The news we are expecting should have a significant impact from here. My watchlist is a deep red atm.... so nothing negative to attribute specifically to this share.

Putin finishes the manoeuvres in Belarus...shakes hands with Biden and we all flip onto positive thoughts again. It is strange people selling this type of share atm in my opinion... it takes a degree of risk acceptance in the first place to invest during exploration, so this east/west posturing should be a walk in the park.

Flipper,
Colins mention of 600m and the 1.5billion of digging just to get to ore was reference to projects that EVEN BHP have walked away from....

The reason he raised it was to draw attention to the fact that Bushranger mineralisation and paydirt kicks in from nearsurface and therefore more desirable.... add to that that the first part of the porphyry is not vertical.... again leading to lower strip ratios

IWTO, One of the most recent podcasts (not sure if it was a Zak or a Phil n Steve one), Colin says they were going in on existing pads at different angles while they waited for the permit to drill from completely new pads (covering the S/SW open extension). Thus keeping the drill turning and improving the information they have already.

That said, Hole 20 was drilled a long time ago. It might just be that they have received the assay results back from the Lab, late due to the workload there.

Ivans.... truth is once the 2MT is declared or the decision to mine made, the contract means AA can't hang about..... they have to work within a defined offer/3rd party valuation/revised offer timescale and if they drop the ball we go on the open market.

Personally not fussed if AA decide to pass. There are other majors out there looking for mines in safe and secure jurisdictions......

....... I know what we got...... BHP knows what we got.... *knowing smile" ..... maybe I mispoke there.....

Am I not right in saying that he said BHP instead of Anglo at one point and then had to correct himself with a knowing smile..... Not sure that it's in the currently available video.... but im sure I remember seeing it.

Yeah £160million MCap almost seems a ludicrous target for a company with our current MC.... But If we take a step back and say that just one of these options comes good. i.e. Cyprus 2 or 3 mines, Philippines or Namibia.... it would be at least £50 to 60 MCap based upon the postulated revenues. So bags of potential for rerating.

Interesting thought Ella.... and in fairness all the time Colin has been involved in Fairbride it would be nice if he was there when the first tonne went through the plant.....
If you look back through the website you will see Colin presenting the first dore blobs of gold from the alluvials along with the Chinese contractor.... it would be nice if he had the same for the first Dore bars from the 'and rock plant....
.... but I think February is a little optimistic.

Zaphod.... the position Sirius were in when AA kicked them in the goolies is a lesson learned. Sirius did an amazing job to secure the billions in funding that they did...... shame it only covered half the cheques they wrote..... AA did a bailiffs job on them mate and proper took advantage but XTR are going to be negotiating sitting proud at the table.... with 6million a year revenue and a very smug tagline to give AA...... "if you don't want it, we know a man who does"

For any AA investors that are now in XTR, you should take some heart in that.

The times they are a changing

The news we are awaiting can be out at any time Q1... I dont think there is any doubt that that news when it comes will move this up quickly.

I think when Mankayan goes off it will be relatively fast to have an impact on shareprice, but nothing can happen until the licence.
I read this RNS as the important arrangements have been made and put in place and consultants employed. It has obviously been a very productive week. Im therefore expecting things to start happening there at a better pace.

Maybe im being overly optimistic.

And with Colin stepping down at Jubilee he will have the opportunity to liquidate some of that value (without the negative Director baggage), and take up some of his remaining warrants here with the cash.

I understand that Howzap....
Both my Trading and ISA account are with Halifax. Can I avoid the delay in transferring if I call them up and ask them to transfer them over for me? Did I understand the advice given to another poster?

Cheers

Good point.... about 30% of my value is in a trading account.... when I've transferred to my ISA in the past I've sold in one and then bought in the other.... but I wouldn't want to be exposed to the 2 week lag.... would be kicking myself if some amazing news dropped while I was on the toilet ....

If we look even harder CRK, we might get a correlation on if they are posting before or after the Bookies open.

H2 was clearly a mispeak.....the slides stated Q2 2022 and that's when April, May, June is lol..... unless its 2023.....

With the regularity of Empress presentations im sure we will hear about the first truck full of ore to be loaded in the front end. I'm going to stick with early to mid Q2 for production to start.... and (some) manica revenue declared for the quarter.

I'm ever the optimist.... but ill be pretty disappointed if it doesn't happen.

That cant be bad.... we are now so good that we are being name dropped in the literature of other explorer companies that want a reference that will highlight potential for them.....

wake up and smell the chalcopyrite .....
