Dann…..make that $7.25 billion FCF based on actual profit on those 2.2 million ounces, based on the current price of gold.

I personally don’t think we are valued as an explorer, we have been mining for gold for over 8 years, and to carry on mining gold in La India months before Runruno finishes the existing reserves, every mining firm runs a resource dry and moves onto new reserves, that doesn’t lose them a mining status, explorers don’t mine gold, they search for metals, prove up and sell to market, Condor being an example.

It’s very simple in my view why the share price has been pinned down and it’s nothing to do with lack of income or future incomes, it’s the 900 million shares given to new investors as part of the Condor deal, selling from day one and continued selling to this day, Mellon being one major example, I personally have found that an opportunity and have increased my holding massively because cheap shares have been on offer.

I know based on La India incomes alone, without reserves expansion has us ridiculously cheap, $0.5 billion market cap is cheap when you have $7.25 billion proven FCF in your pocket, assuming gold holds current levels.

We know we have many more irons in the fire, expansion of La India reserves, Dupax Reserves and the Abra Reserves, that’s exploration, but in the mean time we have mining today and for a minimum of 13 years as I write this in the bag.

Runruno is to be reused, a $100 million of equipment, hopefully it’s to process Dupax reserves, if not, Darren will have a plan B, just like Condor was up his sleeve when many panicked about Runrunos short life.

I think gold will hit $5000 in the next 3 to 6 months, so I expect an awakening at some point in 2026 IMHO

Myself and many others have seen real risk holding MTL, and have held fast, today is an example of how few ever make real money, because they get swayed by posters who are trading, one minute MTL is going to the moon, then the same poster finds 5 risks we should be aware of, it’s so transparent, it’s also dishonest, I’m honest about what I do, and as every single gold mine in Nicaragua is up on today’s gold hike, you should question the selling

today? I will say this in my opinion, others have theirs, I’m not knocking others.

For those who don’t know how long I have held MTL? 8 years, have I bought recently? Yes, Have I ever sold? No, what’s was my cheapest Purchase? 0.4p and the holding is currently worth in excess of £1 million, when will I sell, minimum 5 years from now?

I have a plan, it’s working perfectly and I won’t be moved whilst the plan is working perfectly.

Neither should others.

Sakura, I can’t make this clearer, stop worrying about the shareprice, any single entity, PI, Institutional investors, Funds, Directors, Major shareholders can buy or sell share held in their possession, so the price can reflect those trades, up or down, but the shares you hold are yours, the percentage of the company you own is what will secure you real wealth, MTL is on its path to make tens of $billions in gold sales, our market cap is 1/2 $billion, when MTL reward us with dividends, you get your share of the tens of $billions, and yet you will still hold the shares, the golden goose, so the share price won’t be an issue, unless you want or need to sell, but when you do, you lose future revenues paid by those dividends.

So relax and let Darren Bowden achieve all his goals, can he? Without doubt, can gold go to $5000 and beyond, if you know why it will, you won’t doubt that neither.

Pennies to pounds in play, I hope you see it through, and others.

Silver $77 again, over £40k for a mega box of silver, 500 x 1 ounce Britannias.

Hold onto your metals and precious metal shares, this is just getting going.

Mako Mining Corp Share Price (MKO) share price up 4.5% now.

Equinox Gold Corporation Share Price (EQX) Share price up 5% now.

Both gold producing in Nicaragua, tell me MTL should be worried, we don’t produce a dime from gold for another 10 months at La India, any one see the silly response as gold flys higher?

You have to laugh.

Mako up 2.64% and they produce today.

The nonsense today will pass, just wait for the next 2 RNS, Q4 and Dupax, we will see them chasing their shares back

Surrey, the shareprice reaches a level based on company incomes and how reliable that income is, your share holding percentage doesn’t change when someone else sells or buys existing shares, it’s your shareholding that is used to work out how much your dividend payment will be, the dividend is a share of the companies profits, the profits are not effected by the share price, the share price moves to reflect the profits.

When you actually accept that, and your invested for the next few years, you will relax a lot more, the dividend share of MTLs future incomes (tens of $billion) are going to be huge for you and many others, and the penny here and there today isn’t effecting that for you IMHO

My case is we have around a third of our share holding total in Institutional Investors, yet statements today suggest we fail to secure Institutional Investors, which is 100% incorrect, we have a perfect balance of PIs, Major share holders, Directors and Institutional Investors.

Let’s just grow the business and hence incomes and we can talk about moving from AIM in a few years time when the market cap reflects that set of goals.

Traders come and go, and as Carefree stated, I don’t care about the shareprice as I’m not selling, in fact I will continue to buy and wait for penny to pounds play in hand.

Google Drachs Investments No 3 Ltd:

A Jersey-based investment company that acts as a significant shareholder and lender, notably for Metals Exploration plc (MTL), holding large stakes and providing financing, influencing board representation through its substantial ownership in publicly traded mining and exploration firms.

20% holding not enough institutional interest, all purchased up to 16p in the last 2 years.

Do you homework before making statements to for your agenda.

Google Institutional Investor and you get this reply:

An institutional investor is a large organization, like a pension fund, mutual fund, or insurance company, that pools money from clients or members to invest in securities, real estate, and other assets, managing significant capital for collective goals, unlike individual retail investors. They operate on a massive scale, influencing markets with large trades, and are considered more sophisticated, often facing fewer regulations but held to standards of care for their beneficiaries.

I rest my case.

Hargreaves Lansdown

Aberdeen Group Plc

Baker Steel Capita

To name a few, and together these Institutional Investors have a significant holding in MTL.

CMgoldgard…we already have institutional investors, what a silly statement.

MTL looked at a 1 year time frame the shareprice increased 180% as off 31st Dec 2024 to 31st Dec 2025.

You need to zoom out and stop intensifying day movements or you won’t be here in the best years to come, nothing physically changed this weekend for MTL.

Relax guys and girls.

I would bet a pound for a penny that Carefree holds every single share he has have bought in MTL, his conviction doesn’t wander on every negative post, the negative agendas also tell you they still want MTL shares, they just want them cheaper, they are not posting to drop the shareprice of their holding, don’t fall for it, MTL business as usual in progress, mining gold at $4400 plus.

Gold is a product that sells all around the world, hence why its can difficult to tax in one jurisdiction, La India will produce gold as predicted, along side the other 4 large scale mines in Nicaragua, I don’t get excited by the ups and downs in shareprice, I may take advantage when they are down for sure, but I’m here for 2028 dividends and the holders that convince themselves to come or go have no effect on that outcome, I do my best to calm things, but you can’t help everyone.

In the mean time Runrunos output today just increased in value, that’s what I expected when contemplating over the weekend, irrational behaviour from shareholders today, I cannot control, so I don’t worry, I don’t sell my golden goose shares, I just keep collecting.

The effect today that’s factual is gold is up by $100, the effect on Nicaragua if any is unknown both short term and long term, our gold profits just increased, they didn’t fall, the Trump effect is here to stay for a few years, it’s not a reason to bail, it’s a reason to buy gold stocks IMHO

Golds up $100 today, that’s a Trump effect, luckily we are gold miners, his crazy governance has had gold reacted to it for quite a while.

China is a physical buyer of silver, and has stocks of silver, they also refine about 60% of the worlds silver, it’s strategy to not export silver is because the LBMA and Comex have run short of the physical metal, because Comex short sells what it hasn’t got, and the buyers are standing for delivery, so instead of draining the Chinese silver exchange to try and rectify the shortages, China has put on export restrictions, it protects China supplies.

The silver producers of the world currently don’t produce enough, 20% short of annual consumption, the lack of silver is real.

I think China has had intentions to take Taiwan for a few years, like when Putin had military exercises on the perimeter of Ukraine, they made out it was non aggressive and we know how that ended, China is doing the same thing to Taiwan, military exercises, Trumps lack of diplomacy gives could be matched by China.

Hey I don’t want it, but that’s how I see it, Trumps as mad as a box of frogs.
