The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
The clowns had a day off from the circus today and decided to post in here did they?
Don’t be derailed by such tedious & pathetic efforts to disrupt what has been up until recently a very constructive board.
It’s over on ADVFN too! Seen it many times before, as soon as you have a good company it sadly attracts many undesirables for many different reasons.
Stick to your gut & your beliefs! You’ve done the research and you know what’s what.

Absolutely no worries & if random posts contradicting the CEO have you rattled, that’s not a good sign for your skills as an AIM investor.
The human psyche is hilariously irrational & an exact reason the world lost its mind back in 2020. Zero critical thinking 😂
30 year geologist backed by multiple industry experts = I’m unsure.
Random low post forum user saying he spoke to industry professionals who can’t be named = I need to sell.
Buy when people are fearful!!!
Thanks for your shares & goodbye.

I’ve said this before but please tell me where you or any company on AIM, FTSE or any market finds an “Independent” geologist, mineralogist, materials engineer who will undertake any significant / detailed research, testing and analysis for free?
Every single “Independent” professional is paid for their work & as such cannot ever be truly considered “Independent”
We have almost 6 hugely important & experienced professionals involved with Empire now…..
SB - 30 years geology
Dr. NoB - Lundin Mining
2 x 40 year Titanium Experts recently appointed
AF - ex-RIO
Ms. Marriott - ex BHP
These are all incredibly respected professionals and are not all combining to scam little old Joe PI.
They are all aligned & would have advised SB on their elements so his latest RNS is a bulletproof as they come.

Hi Kongo,
I appreciate the reply and your views.
I don’t think it was ever going to be a walk in the park but I believe that list of majors which may have reduced over the last day or so will in fact be bigger & longer when SB & Co. complete what they are very confident of completing.
As we know, I’m not an expert in geology or mineral beneficiation but I know a few people who are & they are extremely confident that the end product for us is high concentrate Ti02 at high value & low extract costs.
The risks are less & the rewards are far greater than when I first bought into Empire or this project and it was never going to be a walk in the park so I’m absolutely staying put but wish anyone who has a different view the best of luck.

What we have here is a potential industry changing situation & as SB said today “We’re looking at a complete breakthrough in the Titanium Industry”. You don’t say things like that when you’ve recently employed 2 of the most cited, reviewed & experienced Titanium experts in the world have joined your team unless they have told you the same thing!!!!
Based on his 30 year experience & the experience and expertise of those around him that’s more than good enough for me.
Just like the iPhone! Bye bye Nokia.
Just like Netflix! Bye bye blockbuster
Just like email! Bye bye letters
Just like Ryanair! Bye bye high cost airlines
Just like Amazon! Bye bye high street shops
Just like Chat GPT! Bye bye designers & marketing agencies
Just like Pitfield! Bye bye current Titanium producers?
Every industry changing product or process starts somewhere & with a new idea or plan that has never been done before.
Imagine if this is it? You’d be sick if you sold any of those companies in the start up phase now, especially if the CEO told you it was game changing with factual & undeniable geological data to back it up.

Halifax 22.5m (4%) to 26m (4.34%)
Stuart Packwood 17m (3%) to “not listed” presumably still holds 17m but the 3% threshold is now 18m shares due to dilution (unconfirmed & just an assumption on my behalf but I do know Stuart is a good guy & a huge believer in Empire so is in it for the long haul)

LH you only ever post when we have good news!
Your jealousy or bitterness towards someone on our BoD is so obvious, boring and pathetic but very obvious.
Again, you have all the questions, but seek no answers from anyone in the company.

The below two links coupled with todays RNS is essentially the entire story of Empire! Take an hour watching these to give yourself a potential lifetime of income stream. IMHO, there's nothing on AIM that compares to the opportunity here.

Ladies & gentlemen, trolls, doubters, rampers and lurkers - The single best opportunity on AIM has been confirmed.
WE NOW HAVE A HUGELY EXCITING BUSINESS backed financially, and lead by one of the strongest BoD's & technical teams around (not to mention the Aussie government arm being involved who will now be doing all they can to drive this find on)
You don't leave RIO, BHP and the likes to join a tin-pot company. You leave RIO, BHP and the likes when you are confident of becoming part of a major titanium player located in the greatest mining location in the world, one with a resource bigger than European countries, exceptional grades Vs peer competitors who will now be shaking in their boots.
Generational wealth is what I'm here for, never sold and only kept buying and this RNS is the reason why.
My strongest buy opinion of any post I've ever written on LSE.
GLA and over to you SB. Go build us a business or see how you're diary is when RIO, BHP, Vale, Glencore, Freeport, Newmont, Fortescue, Shenua Energy et al now have to consider who is looking at us and if they are all willing to risk watching from the sidelines.

You offer credence to online name selections?
Well seeing as you had the immaturity to bring it up I’ll put you straight.
I got divorced & sadly (for my children) was left with 2 kids to bring up by myself as a full time single parent.
I had to move out of the family home and rent it as my ex-wife refused to contribute her half of the mortgage. I rented the house and seeking advice from others I joined a forum on housing / property to which I created the username “Landlord”
A very short while later (within days) I joined LSE and upon creating another account online I chose the first & easiest name similar to the name selected on the housing forum.
Just because you think things “make sense” doesn’t make it true.
Now we can leave it “DUSTYSLAY”

Hi Ghengis - I call it as I see it and whether its helpful or not, its the truth.
@Dusty - You seem to have taken the snake comment very personal? At no point was this directed at you as to be honest you're only here a few wet days, and going by your very first EEE post only 4 weeks ago (Baseless criticism surrounding the validity and motives our our Saudi investor) you seem to have no real conviction in your beliefs.
@Cootill - better you say nothing at all as your posting history is- embarrassing! You might now be swaying your stance but sure that's because your now invested in where the SP goes. Pity you hadn't got such grace or class when you were trying to get in again after selling out.
I can assure you this company isn't life or death for me in financial terms or any other meaningful way and if you were privy to my communications with the Empire board of Directors over the years (and recently) you'd have no worries or doubts about whether I wear rose tinted glasses as I can critique with the best of them and have done negatively (but constructively) on many occasions (BoD payments in NMG, share incentives, Georgian legal fees (GEO), account discrepancies, ownership rights and issues, board salaries, broker communication, lack of PR, funding, website errors and many other topics related to the prosperity of Empire and its shareholders. I hold the board in high regard and do so based on their ambitions and past / current performance however, as soon as that changes (if it does) I'll be the first to address it primarily for myself, but also on behalf of many other investors who might not be so comfortable doing so.
This "loser" has done as much as any other investor in terms of research and work, calls, F2F meetings (all shared with fellow LSE / ADVFN members with full transparency) which leads me nicely now to offer you both the chance to catch up at the next available public EEE meeting. I'd welcome the chance to put faces to your names and I'd be keen to get a run down of everything you have to offer. I hope you're both as eager to communicate when the opportunity arises.

SB & Co should do exactly what they are doing now (building a business) and completely avoid doing anything with a short-term mindset to appease AIM gamblers.
The good news is Shaun has constantly and without apology confirmed that he has no interest in managing the expectations of those with zero foresight. There is no place for fear in the markets and those that exhibit such traits and get taken in by MM's and other forum trolls should seek to arm themselves with as much knowledge / awareness as possible, coupled with enough self-confidence in their own beliefs that they can take advantage of these attempts to grab shares, and buy more of what they already think has a strong likelihood to offer reward.
Maybe it comes with experience but either way, if you play around in AIM with no real attempt to educate yourself on the specific market dynamics you can't really blame anyone but yourself for the performance of your PF over time. Lots of good guys on this board with plenty of experience to share (and willing to do so) but this last 3 months it has been very evident that a few individual snakes are circling with self-gain using deception being their main aim.
Watch out for it as there will be serious movement in SP in due course (both up and down). You just need to be aware of the motives and stick to your own gut instinct. That way you can always say "well at least I did it my way" and not that of someone else. It's for each individual to decide what's best for them and their own objectives. Hopefully it all falls into place.
I have full confidence in SB based on everything we have in the public domain as of right now. Until anything changes, I remain resolute in those beliefs.
