Where are you Mark Bolton? Don't let these bloggers on ShareChat speak for you. We're all waiting.

These RNSs really are a nonentity. It just says what's they've done and some adjustment to the registration of shares on the exchange. It's the results of the drilling that matter and they are not expected for some time. We want some GUTS, not just an announcement of what's happened. Results are everything! I'm over useless announcements like these.

PMSL?

mickey1122. I think he's nailed himself to the cross which the Romans did to Jesus. Self imolation.

Thanks Mickey1122. I'm not a regular commentator, but there are occasions where I feel I have to speak up. The technical stuff of Mineral Resources, processing technologies, be they CIL or HL are important, but really so much boils down to managing the political environment. You have to own and control the project. This is especially so in India with Bhukia. I've had 20 years of fighting politicians and public servants in India. I admire Mark Bolton for his incredible efforts to get India solved, but he is dealing with a multi-headed Indian "medusa". Indians are the most cunning, conniving and crafty race in the world. They're very hard to get on top of. As I've said before, their mantra of a "Win-Win" situation is "I win, you lose". Anyway, that's the way it is, and good luck to MB.

Hello ID78. You have nailed it so much better than me. Higher grade, CIL and lower grade HL. However, there are always exceptions!

ID78 is quite correct. Those sort of recoveries at +90% do not relate to Heap Leaching. They relate to grinding ore to around 75microns. This is the typical grind size for processing ore in a crush/grind/leach process plant. Heap Leaching can be advantageous for lower grade ore, especially where the Mineral Resources are limited and a lot of the resource is oxide. The operators only have to crush the ore to around 2 inch. The large cost of grinding the ore is avoided. However, with much larger Mineral Resources, such as those as the Boddington Gold Mine in Western Australia, which has 600 million tonnes of Mineral Resources, then grinding to extract the gold is economic at a grade of 0.8g/t. It all boils down to economics. We'll have to wait and see how Moydow pans out. I suspect a relatively small/medium size conventional crush/grind/leach cyanide plant with +90% recoveries.

Thanks NelsontheDog. Indeed there is corruption everywhere, but in general it can be found out and prosecuted in most democracies. However, unless you've had the lived experience of India you will never realise how cunning, corrupt and malfessant are the reigning powers in India. It starts at the top with Modi, the BJP and whoever else is in power at the time. It filters down through all those who have any positions of influence from the Prime Minister to the lowest clerk, who can chose to approve or not your Exploration Licence or put it to the bottom of the pile. Rupees are the only currency that will move your application to the next desk. And then more rupees will perhaps move it to the next desk. Little known to the ignorant investor is that to get an Exploraton Licence approved in Rajasthan it has to pass through 73 desks. Then it goes to the Central Government with its own corrupt public service and politicians. Good luck Mark Bolton. Enjoy the country while you still have shareholders' funds to enable your travels.

Guys or gals, I love your enthusiasm, but as regards India, until the bakshish is paid nothing will happen. Problem is, who to pay? Corruption is endemic in India just like COVID. Should we pay Modi, Adani his Bagman, or the multitude of other politicians and public servants who stand in the way of progress? Meanwhile, Mark Bolton will have a pleasant time visiting all the wonderful sights of India while most of us will have to pay with our own money for the pleasure. And then there's Africa. Who the hell do we pay in those countries? Just asking?

It's good to hear from you Professor1 and I look forward to the intimate details of your conversation with Mark Bolton. He really can't have told you anything of substance outside of what is already in the public domain. You're fooling yourself if you think you're getting some sort of "scoop". Trouble is, Mark, despite never being bumptious or arrogant, doesn't really tell us the "real truth" of what's happening. He can't, because he's constrained by laws/regulations and fear of antagonising the Rajasthan and Central governments in India. I'm sure he's doing his best, but is that good enough?

Mark Bolton should be "rounding up" the Rajasthan and Central Governments to get grant of the tenement like he claims he's doing. What's a few thousand shares? Cost him GBP4,000? Chickenfeed! It's only to keep the punters interested. Mark's interest is barely 0.5% of the shares on issue. That's not "hurt money". Purely fluff in the big picture. Let's get real here.

You're not listening to me. You have no idea of the corruption and nepotism in India. I don't care whether or not you think I'm invested in PAT. The point is, India is impossible to work within. Mark Bolton is not telling us "the truth" of what's happeniong there. Posting photos on Twitter of beautiful buildings in Rajasthan is not helping shareholders' understanding of what's happening.

Well, we've certainly got a conversation going on "Bought more 3.69". Just for the record, I am invested in PAT and have been for many years. What most don't recognise is that the Indian Governments both Federal and State are cunning, crafty and overall, corrupt. Just ask any company that invested their moneys in the Commonwealth Games in 2022. Plenty "went to the wall" being scammed and deceived by "promises". What I want is for Mark Bolton to tell us "the truth". Please Mark, keep your shareholders up to date. We just don't get enough information..

Modi and his BJP party are some of the most corrupt politicians world-wide. Believe nothing he says.

Rats leaving a sinking ship is hardly strong enough language to describe the massive sales. Where is the Captain? Where is the BOD? Silence is not golden. It's destroying the company not knowing about who's in command. Where are you Mark Bolton?

More fool you.

Who sold up indeed? Maybe someone with inside knowledge of worst news to come or simply another rat abandoning the sinking ship. The water is over the gunwhales , the engines have failed and the captain has not been heard of for a long time.

PAT is in a death spiral. Gold price soaring. Cut and run!

Elvis has left the PAT room.

MB will never, ever, make any headway in getting PAT's mineral projects up and running while Modi is in power in the Central Government as PM and leader of the BJP. Intrinscally xenophobic and for ever will be. Once the Rajastahn elections come about in a year or so it will only get worse. Then there are 2 groups who have to be paid off once the BJP are elected there again.
