Well, gold is up 3.8% on the day as I speak, and the share price is flat with an offer price of minus 5 cents.... I wonder why?

"Gold: a new price target, favourite stocks and when to sell

Having captured the imagination of retail investors, asset managers and governments worldwide, City writer Graeme Evans explains current thinking about investments in gold.

28th January 2026 13:32 by Graeme Evans from interactive investor.

Holders of gold equities including Endeavour Mining  EDV  3.82%  and Pan African Resources PAF 5.78%

 are already sitting on gains of more than 15% this year after the price of bullion topped $5300 an ounce.

South America’s Hochschild Mining  HOC 0.96%  has been the biggest beneficiary among the London market’s major names with a rise of 40%, while Australia-based Greatland Resources Ltd GGP 0.86%  is up 30%.

This year’s continuation of the trends seen in 2025, when the precious metal’s price rose by 63%, has been stoked by a four-year low for the US dollar as well as challenges to the international rules-based order that has been in place since 1945.

Deutsche Bank said this week that it thinks $6000 an ounce is achievable with a weaker dollar.

It added: “Gold’s continued rise reflects investment motives which may be persistent: higher reserve allocations, and investors raising allocations to non-dollar and real assets.”

President Donald Trump’s policy moves and pressure on the Federal Reserve for rate cuts have caused the dollar index to fall by 3.5% in the past fortnight. He said yesterday he is comfortable with this weakness, further boosting the cost outlook for gold in other currencies.

Falling interest rates have also reduced the opportunity cost of holding the zero-yielding asset, while higher government debts and persistent inflation reinforce gold’s status as a long-term portfolio diversifier.

Berenberg noted this week that rising commodity prices could in turn serve to fuel gold’s advance as a store of value in inflationary times.  It added: “Net speculative positions for gold continue to push higher, as do ETF (exchange-traded fund) holdings. We would not be taking profits on gold names at this point in time and remain bullish on gold equities.” The bank’s favoured names are Endeavour Mining, Wheaton Precious Metals Corp WPM 4.26%  and Fresnillo FRES 0.82%  among the large caps, with Pan African Resources and Resolute Mining Ltd RSG 2.39% 

Schroders said this week that major gold equity benchmarks rose by between 150% and 169% in 2025 but that valuations look different when measured relative to margins.

The asset and wealth manager said: “If you look at the average price ratio of gold equities to gold bullion over the 2022/23/24 period, gold equities are around 25% higher despite a completely transformed margin and returns environment.

Please do your own due diligence.

I use the same one.

If you follow for an hour or so, you'll see the pattern, then you can if you wish give your instructions based on what you find. It does change from day to day though as conditions change but you can see the buy sell spread. (I've seen spreads of 6 or 7 cents on occasion). For instance if you look at todays chart, at 07:49:18 trades were going through at $8.02 then at 08:14:46 going through at $8.08 and a bit later at $8.10. I'm assuming that the low prices are sells and the high ones buys. As you can see the the day's Low/High, the price fluctuated between $7.88 (possibly a sell) and $8.10 (probably a buy) that's a big range.

So in summation I'm just saying, set a limit on your order otherwise you may get dumped upon.

GLASH.

Louis, those are good points, in these situations all must do what they think best. My one piece of advice would be, if at all possible with Wood and any other broker for that matter, is to place a limit order on your sale. There have been some wild buy sell spreads shown on this stock, and if selling a reasonable amount, the spread impact could be greater than the sale fees.

Best wishes for your actions, whatever they might be.

You do realise that just because you keep copy and pasting the same thing, it does not make it true? We are not all tRumpers here falling for the ideas like that.

On another tack.

It will be interesting to see where we end this week, gold seems to have a rocket up it's ..... (thanks donny), and as we know, a 1% rise in gold price transmits to a much larger increase in profit as fixed costs are, well fixed, per tonne of ore processed. I don't see as much benefit of holding large stocks of gold unsold, yes the price may rise, but the proceeds could be used to bring forward the completion of the POX unit, other Cap X projects and also the movement onto another more liquid exchange, (even if we do stay on the AIX as well), it certainly depresses stock price in my view and also gives a false idea of company profitability and performance as it is shown at zero profit. The question in my mind is "Why do it?"

I don't have a problem paying staff a bit more in bonuses or higher wages, as I can't see it being material to a large swing in profitability. I trust the management to control these matters and keep a safe, happy, motivated and productive workforce. Regarding tax payable, I have faith in all accountants to "work" the systems to the company's benefit at all times!!

As always.

Hi Copech.

Thanks for the information. i'll look into that.

All the best.

To all shareholders.

Yet again as always I have found the staff at the AIX most helpful and quick to respond. This is their reply to my questions (first paragraph).

(My questions).

"I am sorry to say that my experience as a U.K. holder of the stock is that there is no broker that allows the purchase of shares only the sale of them. If you know of any, I would be most grateful if you could please let me know who the full service brokers are so that I may buy as well as sell Solidcore stock.

Concerning "your best option is to move your securities to your Registrar account where no fees apply." I assume that this refers to

The company (solidcore's) registrar am I correct in this?

And their reply.

"The Registrar is the AIX Registrar, which is the primary shareholder registry for Solidcore.

Regarding the brokers, I'm pretty sure that Freedom Finance Global and its EU affiliates, Freedom Broker, Freedom 24 and Freedom Europe, allow the purchase of securities, pls check with them".

Unless I am incorrect, (Please chime in anybody who knows different) registering the shares on the AIX with their registrar is a prerequisite of holding the taby's account, am I wrong or is that the other way around?

Next stop will be to confirm this with Solidcore investor relations I suppose.

I hope that this is of some use.

As always.

Received from the AIX this morning.

"To our knowledge, there are no restrictions for retail investors to purchase CORE. In any case, to avoid upcoming custody fees (yet to be disclosed), your best option is to move your securities to your Registrar account where no fees apply".

Unfortunately this seems to pose as many questions as it gives answers... So it's a work in progress.

"Jotom750 & JohnNth {AKA} Kirill Kuznetsov and his team of company online profile's".

That you are a basher and agitator is clear to all. That you try to smear others is just part of your modus operandi. It seems to me that you in fact may be one and the same with the poster froggg, after all you both seem to have the same methods and goal (though neither of you provide any hard objective information or facts, (quite important when dealing in financial matters)). You have missed the boat buddy, I and others are enjoying the ride.

"Stay away from the AIX Registrar as there are holding fees to be paid the same as Tabys soon but currently the company pays the AIX Registrar fees. Until they decide to stop paying the fees then you will have to pay".

How much are the fees? Are there different levels of fee?

Are you willing to divulge your stock holding ?

Without knowing these things, any statements seem premature.

Compared to what has happened to both POG and Evraz we have been looked after. Though I would have liked to buy some more, I'm happy that still have something. Others have nothing.

"So what's the best plan for those of us who signed up with TABYS and are now being forced off that platform and the likes of Wood & Co are deemed too expensive? Anyone?"

I've been told by the AIX that nobody is being "forced off" the system, they can stay but they will soon be charged a fee to be on the platform. I am not aware of what the proposed fees will be though. Up to now I've been very impressed by their speed and level of support, so I'll not move unless I find the charges are prohibitively high. Hopefully when I decide to sell up there will be more brokers to choose from, and I'll possibly move them then. But as always, each to their own.

Feisty.

You seem to be moaning both about the share price being held back, and about the increase in fees (small beer) if they go up! Those with high entry prices are I'd think happy that there is upward movement in price, are you not?

There was a report on another miner called Lundin Gold Inc which seemed (though I could be wrong) timed roughly with the latest Poly price spurt, there are some similarities between companies it seems, though I've not looked through all the financial details. It may be of interest to a clever person to compare the two companies performances and thus gain a price insight for our little Poly going forward....?

As always. GLASH.

Duvv.

You seem confused. Selling with no buyers is what drives the price down, buying drives it up. When buying is easier, that is what will happen. When 2028 comes around the POX will be near completion, or even completed, this is another price boosting event. The restart of any dividend payments will also boost SP quite a bit in my view. Any listing on a more liquid exchange and the shares will fly.

Western holders have in some cases been stopped from selling, but that could have also been good because some would have exited at much lower prices than we are at now. With continuing global unrest gold will only go one way, up.

GLASH.

So, gold is up 2.8% today. Lets all see how much the manipulators push the stock price down tonorrow.

First I'd try to get a share certificate to prove your holding.

GLASH

Hi Talkin.

First I would check either with Solidcore investor relations or with the AIX registrar as to the state of your holding. I imagine they will need certificate number and registered holder at least.

Then go from there having been informed as to share your holding's state. (Registering them on Taby's I'd say was a minimum action required at this stage).

But please check with all informed parties to be sure.

GLASH.

Chelsea Proceeds.

That I agree with. How many U.K. shareholders are/were there?

Any ideas?

After the russian actions and this say goodbye to any Evraz value.

Such a shame.

Reality...

"Area of investment and support

The Research Capital Investment Fund is formula-based funding that supports the long-term sustainability of research. This includes contributions to replace premises or infrastructure, improved use of space, and increased sharing and use of research equipment.

TERRA SERVICES LIMITED

"TERRA SERVICES LIMITED is an entity of interest. It has not been found on international sanctions lists."

"MAJOR ECONOMIC ACTIONS of America

Treasury is taking unprecedented action against Russia’s two largest financial institutions, Public Joint Stock Company Sberbank of Russia (Sberbank)and VTB Bank Public Joint Stock Company (VTB Bank), drastically altering their fundamental ability to operate."

It has been said and now concluded that some Evraz operations are of state importance, this says it all really.

Were they not previously??

Why are they of state importance??

So, hardly as you said at all.

GLASH.

Bored, because you proposed one company! LOL

Reality. 

"The En+ Group has been removed from sanctions lists, specifically the U.S. Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, in January 2019. This was the result of a corporate restructuring agreement with the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to limit the control of founder Oleg Deripaska". 

"Sanctions lifted: The U.S. lifted sanctions on En+ Group and its subsidiaries, including Rusal, in January 2019.

Corporate restructuring: The company agreed to significant changes to reduce Deripaska's control and ownership stake.

New governance: The restructuring included appointing independent directors to the board and reducing Deripaska's voting rights.

Ongoing compliance: En+ Group is subject to ongoing auditing and reporting requirements by OFAC to ensure continued compliance with the agreement".

So in fact it was sanctioned at one time and later these were removed due to restructuring. Hardly the same at all.
