At last.

Thanks Troajan

Nice of him to reiterate the highly dilutive giveaways to Xinhai at 1.5p, that he wants to drill even more holes (wow, who would have guessed).

And that the feasibility study will be published in 2027 hopefully (this an interpretation with experience of 'towards the end of 2026').Its not Hammer time. Its Ariana time.

Of course there may be some changes now that Xinhai have a board position and Sener will hopefully not be allowed to continue as he done in over 20 years since listing.

Still no SP improvement today in a rising POG environment.

We all know how this ends, if not the exact details. Xinhai will take over the most significant part of Ariana, or the whole lot and dispose of the rest of the ragbag of Seners discarded toys. This will no doubt be done cheaply because even blindfolded Xinhai will easily out manoeuvre this hapless board of directors, just as Ozaltin did in 2019. Please let it be soon.

Yes, and PoG up again this morning.

My Greatland Resources shares are flying, another 12% up as I write.

And which joke gold producer, staggering from one catastrophically bad business decision to another, is staying exactly where it was yesterday? See if you can guess you Ariana bulls who have been eulogising about about progress under the CEO Boy Blunder for weeks.

Happy April Fools day everyone, you need a sense of humour with this sh*tshow.

Hi Stanger

I've been saying for years that we have no assurance of any dividend distribution from Zenit, hence the continued perilous cash position.

The incompetency of the Ozaltin JV was unforgivable. Giving away control and over 50% of the Turkish assets so cheaply (including its producing first mine that was 6 months away from being debt free and over 75% in the case of the Salinbas prospect) and then incurring lots of professional fees to reduce the net receipt even more. It shows how utterly, pathetically incompetent the Ariana management was. Unforgiveable. And I can say that with a clear conscience because I made my feelings known in November 2019.

And they are no better now, they haven't learned anything, which is even more unforgivable from the Chairman who is supposed to be hugely experienced, with a career of financial expertise in worldwide mining companies. He is inept. At least Sener is a decent geologist even if a lousy CEO who doesn't care a jot for his shareholders.

They are so stupid that it wouldn't surprise me if they don't realise, or admit to themselves, that Xinhai could well be targeting control of at least Dokwe and possibly the whole company. That's how dumb I think they are.

No mate, enjoy life. Go out to 'spoons!!

I don't know what causes the undulations really, I think it may be more obvious in a share with a lot of private investor support.

With the results of Rachel Reeves just coming through and of course the orange idiot there has been a sea change in SP. Maybe as things settle trading may come back on the menu. Have a good day.

By that I mean a long term holding and a lot of buying and selling of effectively the same packet of shares. Looking at my spreadsheet (yep, I really am that dull) I've always maintained around 500 shares then bought/ sold anything between 500 and 1000, sometimes in week, sometimes in the same day.

There are some shares that do tend to bounce 5% - 7.5% regularly, even though their SP graph looks fairly flat overall. JDW is definitely one of those, since early 2023 or at least was until recently .So adding all my buys and all my sells, also including divis, my current 1000 cost the princely sum of £3842.

I really must get out more!

Yes Claret, another trip to the championship sadly. Are there parachute payments each time or is it dependent on how long you hand around on each division?

Shame so many shares were bought back previously at higher prices! I think it looks like being a long was back to £7 from here. I only have 1000 so am thinking of cutting my losses unless there are indications of government help in the sector. Taking account of all my transactions in the last 2 years my overall average if a little less than £4. Maybe time to exit and then I wont feel guilty of the effect of my third free coffee refill on profits!

I did note that the average share buy back figure was 724p. Given the SP now that doesn't look bright.

Indeed Mr C. I have 1000 shares, no idea (and I'm not prying) whether you regard that as a toe on the water or embracing JDW with enthusiasm.

I wont be adding further, I regret buying those.

They are doing the best they can in a toxic scenario. Greene King is reportedly planning to sell 150 pubs (to who, I doubt there is a queue) and hope to franchise 150 others. That says a lot about the state of hospitality.

Seems like that by running this organisation it is just not close to returning anything like what it should be for all the employment , effort, systems, controls, compliance etc. it represents Its essentially a cash cow for Rachel Reeves with a few morsels thrown out to shareholders after she has gorged. And there is absolutely no indication that the business environment is going to change in the 3 years that remain of this government.

What will make the share price recover from this point back to the 700s let alone the 2019 highs?

Most we can hope for from the god awful chancellor is a pithy statement, like Student Loans, that 'hospitality is broken but not my top priority'.

Hi Claret

I was going to note that AAU had achieved the almost impossible, near 30% up on one stock exchange compared to its previous close but down on another stock exchange again compared to its previous close. Almost disappointed it didn't!

Hard to see the Clarets surviving in the premier, it is still possible!

Only just seen that RNS from yesterday afternoon.

I wish these rants didn't happen. Make points in a press article or in the Wetherspoons magazines available in the pubs. I don't feel they are in the spirit of RNS's and so overlong that even as someone financially interested as a shareholder I only got about halfway thorough before giving up and making a coffee never to finish.

I know this may be just me, but I think the only place this stuff is justified is in the Chairmans Statement in results announcements.

The movement on the Australian market has removed the price difference with £/ AUS $ exchange rate about 1.88 and with the CDIs representing 10 AIM shares. Probably as simple as that. Big question to me is why there was such an arbitrage difference for such a long time.

There may be something else, it was a dramatic rise, but I cant see there is much else too explain it.

Ha Ha Mr.C, just logged in to say I think we may have got back in a tad early and there you are!

On Friday I think the commentary will be as important as the figures which have already been flagged as likely down.

We'll see.

Welcome back Mr C, you beat me as mine were at 679.5

2.5p! 3p by the end the week! Is it 5p you are looking for? The recent enthusiasts seem to have gone a bit quieter now they realise that AAU is not 'the one you are looking for' if you want to get rich quick Something us time served downtrodden old lags knew all along.

?

Its already xd and the dividend is nowhere near 23p

Thanks Carrington, my last 2 sales (within 30 days for CGT) were at higher prices than the SP today - much more for one of them. So unless I can squeeze them in my ISA I may have to wait a little longer to avoid lining Starmer's tea lady's pockets!

GLA.

Dipped a toe back in after a couple of years as a spectator.

I do believe with the recent stability in lithium prices, the local car industry and state/local support that there could be developments here.

Could be FOMO rather than anything else, I don't see it as a major holding for me as yet.

Well back beginning 6 again. Looking at the wider market at the moment I think I may just find a comfortable spot on the fence and sit on it for a bit.
