Im not convinced that this is a real group

Its level of sycophancy is not something ive seen on any other investors group. Its almost a cheerleader group for Colin Bird.

Please have a read of the posts of the alleged members of this group and tell me if you really believe anyone can be that naive or shower a CEO with CB's terrible record with compliments

I think you all know what im saying..who i think is behind those profiles...

You say that as a postive- the record has shown that Colin Bird having his fingers in every pie is anything but positive

You look at the purchase at Kanye example. So many red flags regarding that transaction of a company he was a director of. He claimed they had drill ready sites- they didnt. 16 months later, still havent drilled.

It was a detraction from the earlier failure at Hope. The damp squib assays that many here like MrT and Moonglow claimed were going to be transformational.

I still dont believe either of them are real investors. Noone is that naive..

Lot of very suspicious posters here.

Smiller, no serious miner would make plans for a mine when they dont even have an inferred JORC.

And why the silence from Hope? You would have expected at least hand assays AND initial lab assays by now. I suspect it may be another Colin Bird dud.

Its one of Colin Bird's typical tricks. He is a better salesman than a miner.

I have a small holding in ECR and the now deceased CEO did the same thing. Talked about takeovers and the price rocketed and he made a huge £££ placing. They still dont even have a JORC yet the CEO was talking about takeovers 18 months before?

Incidentally- his initialls were also 'CB'

The AIM regulators clearly dont do their job

Because Colin Birds terrible record?

Because all his companies are down on SP from when he took over?

Because he has a history of making ramping RNS that fail to deliver?

Because of an RNS claiming a stellar Zambian mining assay that came conventietly out of the blue, then wasnt backed up in the lab?

Because he lives tax free in the UAE and has been living in luxury of the coat tails of a one off lucky deal in 2010 and since then milking AIM investors to keep that lifestyle?

News should come from RNS, interviews.

Not via a investors group which showers Colin Bird with compliments like 'yes we havent heard from him all summer- he is taking a much deserved vacation in Europe' or 'he is in Botswana working as hard as always'

I have seen lots of various investor groups over the times but this one is highly 'irregular' in that it often borders on sycophancy. Very odd

if drilling is really taking place as they say, we should have some results really soon.

and *if* being the important word.

Normally you would expect a resource such as what was announced recently to propel a company forward. I believe it hasnt because of Colin Bird.

1) This time last year, he claimed that he had discovered a very rich vein of copper in Zambia. My suspicions were arouse immediately as it came out of nowhere and when his back was up against the wall as investors were watching the SP fall. The SP almost doubled after this (and SOMEONE made money for sure), only to find out later, that the assays, as I had rightfully predicted- were a damp squib and not what he claimed they were. The lab assays were way out of the range of accuracy as the 'alleged' hand held ones. Imagine being an under-fire drug company CEO- when you suddenly come up with a drug which claims it is 99% effective in curing covid- the stock rallies takin the heat of you- then some months later we find out it is actually 2% effective. Thats what happened in Zambia.

2. They know a placing is coming- Bezant is NOT a cash rich company but is operating across 3 countries/sites now- (or at least claims it is- who knows what is really happening on the ground). Colin Bird has a history of unjustified ramping followed by a raise. The pattern is so predictable now. As said before- the idea of making a development plan for a mine when you are nowhere near a JORC is particularly laughable and is similar to the big talk Colin Bird is known for.

3. It should be interesting to see what assays come out of Hope, its been a while now- and we havent heard even hand held assays. Also, if we do get good handheld assays- lets see if they turn out to be false flags again.

4. For those who dont know Colin's history- have a look at his 3 main AIM companies- BZT, XTR and GLL and look at how they ALL have had a downward trajectory in SP since Colin took over. Then figure out how much salary and other perks he squeezed out of those 3 companies from his tax haven of UAE.

Proceed with caution

"Oh no IK, no disrespect but we could do without your short term trades and spikes in the share price. We saw what happened that last time you were invested here and got spooked by a bit of potential bad news, selling all your shares. BZT is not for you! GL with your other investments....."

Is he the same as SniperJoe or sth?

Someone definitely made a lot of money from that last spike we touched near to 0.4 following the [later proven to be false] Zambian assays which we never heard about again.

I have some pretty strong suspicions about the dentity of these so called PIs who pop up on Colin Bird companies before and during a spike.

Mankayan should be sold off and the proceeds used to fund development elsewhere. Operating over 3 very different regions- Cyprus, Philipines and Southern Africa will be a task for AIM junior- especially one with a Chairman who is notoriously spread thin and slow with development.

2000+ m of diamond drilling will cost more than we have in the bank. There must be a raise very soon based on that alone, never mind Kanye. Cyprus, seems to be (hopefully) self-funding at this stage. Im surprised we havent had any info on hand held assays from Hope. Colin is normally the first to ramp based on positive assays.

If this follows classic Colin Bird pattern- there will be some *amazing* news soon (which may prove to be false- like the Zambian assays) followed by a raise to take advantage of the spike caused by this amazing news.

Recent RNSs talking about a development plan for Hope makes zero sense when they dont even have a JORC yet. To give you an idea, Alien Metals had a JORC over 6 months ago and the development plan is still in progress. No serious company will talk about plans to develop a mine when they have not

This is what Colin Bird has been doing for years- overpromising and underdelivering. I mean, I hope Hope returns some good assays- but talks of mine development are pie in the sky.

There was that now-deceased CEO of ECR who did the same thing- big talk about a potential takeover 1.5 years ago- in that 1.5 years- ECR is still nowhere near a JORC. However- he did manage to raise a huge amount of money on the back of the inflated SP that his announcement caused, which no doubt furnished the lifestyles of him and other BOD. Since then- SP is less than 50% of its peak

Proceed with caution

The muted response is because of the history of Colin Bird. Not everyone lives in the echo chambers of LSA.

The general market of investors (who are far more numerous and thus important) outside of LSE tend to be more savvy, more conscious of history.

Missed me?

2000m of planned diamond drilling at Hope is very ambitious and I dont believe we have the funds to cover it. 390m done in 3 months is pretty slow work, even for diamond drilling. At this stage it will be next summer till it is completed.
I did note that there would be more personnel brought in- whether that means it can quicken up...Im not sure.

Colin Bird has a habit of ramping before dropping a placing- i get worried when I hear the ramping interviews he gives like in Sunday Roast. Placing doesnt have to be detrimental if you are moving forward- but the snail's pace of overstretched Colin Bird has meant this hasnt happened in the past and other AIM companies have been working at a far quicker rate. Maybe this time it will be different.

Also, dont forget the last big spike which was on the back on (as predicted) of hand-held results which were (surprise surprise) not proven to be feasible.

Proceed with cautious optimism

A good time of year to reflect on your investments. Colin Bird being Colin Bird. Remember he is a millionaire and will be enjoying his Xmas in the lap of luxury using investor money from his 'lifestyle companies'

Any thoughts on his resignation from Jubilee?

It is ridiculous that he is involved in so many companies. Absolutely unheard of in AIM.

I have always said that is main goal is to 'feather his nest' for full retirement once he has squeezed every penny from private investors and this seems to be becoming true. Remember he is almost 80.

Remember when you were a child and you would stick your fingers in your ear and say 'im not listening'?

You keep on saying you will put me on your ignore list yet keep on replying, are you SURE you are not Colin Bird? Because you seem to have a penchant for not doing what you say you will.

Merry Xmas

Remember one year ago when I said that the Mankayan deal would fall apart and you angrily said I didnt know what I was talking about blah blah blah

Then it did fall apart- and getting a mere renewal is now what you pin your hopes on.

Laughable

For anyone who doesnt believe me- feel free to look back at his posting history. A litany of failed predictions.

This is sounding a bit desperate now

Btw- beware of some of the posters here who always defend CB.

I have some strong suspicions behind their identity. I dont believe most people are gullible and naive to keep on defending him- i think they are very smart people (or should I say 'person') who are posting for a reason.

I think it is clear what I am alluding to..

If Im the last in a race- i may *think* i have done well- but the objective evidence is different.

By *any* objective measure- Colin Bird has been a disaster for the myriad of AIM companies he is in charge of.

And by objective measurement- SP, profitability, speed of progress in exploration etc etc

But dont worry- he will continue to dangle that golden carrot, make excuses, and continue to withdraw his tax-free salary and live the good life in UAE. You recall in summer he 'disappeared' to Portugal and there was very little progress or RNS from any of his companies while he was living the good life on his [no doubt] luxurious beach getaway. I had predicted he would do exactly that way back in April (you can check my posting history) because I understand how the Emirates works in summer, and Colin's behaviour is so predictable.

This is not a serious businessman with serious intentions in any of his businesses- in reality- he is primed towards living the last years of his life in the lap of luxury and galavanting with his horse hobby.

I encourage anyone to flag what happened after the false Zambian XRF readings. When the stock doubled then crashed again, the real lab assays were eventually released and it is barelyscientifically feasible for them to be so different.

The FCA need to examine buying patterns and see who profited from it.

I already emailed the FCA a while back about the delayed Zambian assays(then 'suddenly' Colin Bird released the delayed lab assays 2 days after I had posted what I had done).

As someone said, it seems the noose is finally tightening on Colin's neck

I am now more convinced that the rampers here are not real investors.

Even the most gullible and naive person would see they are being had. This stock has gone from 0.4 to close to 0.10 in 16 months or so.

In a recent interview- Colin Bird (or possibly his counterpart at Caerus) mentioned some of the high quality XRF grades they have been getting for copper. I cant remember the exact figure- it may have been 3 or4% or there about. Now compare and contrast with the actual lab assays.

Same thing happened with Zambia

I am not going to allude to the possible true identity of these rampers- but they often seem to know where Colin Bird is, what he is doing and always defend him- despite the plummeting stock price. I recall one posted- allegedly from the supposedly Bezant Investors Group- I kid you not, saying 'Colin is in Botswana and being as industrious as ever'. Almost like if someone asked you to write your own job reference.....
