Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
No issues with profit takers myself, nobody went broke banking profits as I’ve said many times here.
I have issues with inconsistent, hypocritical & sneaky posters trying to drive the prices down & create fear amongst holders.
You know, the guys who took profit but hang around here still posting negatively. Those guys are pathetic.

What people should be wary of is people who have previously said the following over the last 6 months;
“Fantastic news! This find is beyond our wildest dreams. Once production starts the sp should rocket!!!”
“This is going to be massive. The ceo has his feet on the ground with the right business attitude”
“A great podcast. If what he says is true Empire Metals sp is going to fly! I wish I’d bought more!”
ONLY TO THEN CONFIRM SELLING OUT - not based on anything company news related, and then then say the following;
“we’re now down 18% in a week”
“ Why would they be unloading if this share is a dead cert”
“ There’s going to be no news for months and the SP will slide. Better to cash out now and re-enter when the SP has come down. Which it will”
This is the typical behaviour of someone who is now rattled & afraid to see the company move forward thus having no real belief in their decisions or any moral backbone. You now need & must do what you can to drive the price down or scare those less experienced in the ways of AIM.
You Sir are a snake! A very very obvious snake at that.
Maybe you should take your own advice as per the first three posts you made yourself above! How embarrassing for you.
Enjoy your cruise and GL with KoD ;-)

Down 18% in a week based on absolutely nothing to do with the company fundamentals & everything to do with impatient gamblers.
Re; people giving buy opinion usually not knowing anything about the company, what is it you know about the company as a matter of interest?
I know why I’m here but what has you here?
ML
Correct Rodders!
SB since day 1 has zero interest in punter satisfying RNS’s or short-term boost news based on nothing but hot air.
I love that he is like that as that’s what real business is built on, in the markets or the real world.
I cannot wait to reach the day where my constant view of 1p & 2p movements over weeks being completely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things has played out to be bang on the money.
World class deposits don’t come around often & if mug gamblers fancy chancing the ups & downs to remove the boredom from their lives or give them a degenerate thrill - well, so be it.
We play the game in many different ways, I’m sticking with the tried & trusted method of following a strict process & strategy with a specific focus on long-term company development leading to significant shareholder returns.
On that basis I’ve nothing worthwhile to add for any LSE member until the next news update.

LH, you’re a clown & a bitter, non-invested but posting for the good of your health clown is it?
16:00 to 16:40 in the clip below.

Nobody cares what you think as SB with 35 years experience & being a geologist has already put you in your place ;-)
Tier 1’s you say!
Absolutely.

@Riceyboy
My comments weren’t directed at you just in case they may have come across that way.
How people can expect 35 drills to have been completed, sent to labs, analysed & RNS’d over the Xmas & New Year period is beyond me.
The first 5 had only been completed & RNS’d in late December whilst the other 35 were still in drill progress.
They are not “delayed” but those who are now feeling like SB & Co. have missed a deadline need to educate themselves on drill campaigns & what’s involved with summarising development plans which are likely to be in the mix now that the drill campaign is fully completed & viability scenarios likely to be presented.
We could discuss it all night, just differing opinions I suppose.
ML
Genghis,
Please tell me we don’t have people who have sold on the basis of some clown randomly posting “placing ahoy” on a bulletin board.
If so, these people should sell every investment they have & never enter the markets again as they will be fleeced of their capital over time.
I cannot accept that people did this - I just can’t :-)
ML
Disproportionate amount of time for 35 holes to be analysed after 13 working days into the New Year & with many Australian labs only returning to work this week????
People need to wise up here & get in touch with reality.
Investor psyche has got the better of some people, unfortunately only experience will give you the self-confidence to realise NOTHING HAS CHANGED & in fact it’s a better investment proposition today / Tomorrow than it was yesterday at these prices.
I’ve seen this so many times it now almost funny to me. I’ve been there in years gone by so I’m not criticising, merely observing what I’m seeing.
ML
I don't disagree completely Timelord Re; caution, but as they say, you also have to be careful about caution because there's a stage when it turns into paralysis.
Calculated risk taking is essential for success with any goal where the stakes are high.
Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction & promotes failure to seize opportunity. The opportunity is right before our eyes, to be part of the world’s largest Titanium discovery in a jurisdiction widely regarded as the safest, most pro-mining location anywhere across the globe.
All will be revealed however, whilst caution should be balanced, it should not be an overriding mindset in my personal view if significant rewards are sought / expected.
Each of the mines below have very interesting stories & if you look at how they all started (search YouTube), I’m sure some people thought they were going to be dusters, limited their exposure & have regretted it ever since. As I’ve said before (only my opinion & not fact) I believe Empire is one of the strongest, exciting & potentially rewarding opportunities on AIM, if not the best.

Of course if I hear or see any company updates that tell me things have changed I will reassess my position but from what we currently know “ EEE have confirmed the presence of a giant-scale hydrothermal mineral system enriched in titanium and copper” (May 30th RNS) I’m fully prepared to throw caution to the wind on this occasion.
What an interesting year ahead. I hope we’re both still here saying similar things heading into 2025, if so things have gone really well in 2024.
ATB mate.

And just as a reminder, when I previously spoke to Shaun about our Mcap all time high, this was his reply. I don’t doubt the man & his ambitions. All the signs are there and he is the geologist with 35 years experience - not random blokes with 10 posts on a public forum.

Any one of these even have a sniff of linking with Empire & all bets are off. Discussions here on 0.5p drops at 13p will look hilarious if SB achieves what he wants to & seems confident of doing based on all previous interviews & data drilled / fundamentals.
SB hasn’t let us down in 3 years, I don’t see him starting now especially with this UNICORN TITANIUM DEPOSIT.

Dr. Larry Marshall has since moved roles & is now a board director at Fortescue Metals ($86b Mcap) so you can be sure that the CSIRO are pro-mining and heavily involved as an arm of the Aussie govt.
I’m very intrigued to see what happens with these over time. Credibility & public relations will take off if any form of tie-up is communicated nationally.
Interesting times ahead - I have a feeling (nothing more than that) we will have a curveball RNS in Q1 which could be very good news for Empire.

CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has revealed new research forecasting a bright new future for Australia’s critical mineral resources ( – as building blocks for renewable energy products.
The research shows how mining and manufacturing sectors can work together to turn mineral resources, such as lithium and silicon, into products for renewable energy, like electric vehicles, solar panels and wind turbines.
The Critical Energy Minerals Roadmap found significant potential for Australia to reshape its mining sector to capitalise on the opportunity, as a nation rich in essential mineral resources.
CSIRO Chief Executive, Dr Larry Marshall, said the global demand for renewable energy technologies would mean the future global economy would be underpinned by critical energy minerals.
“Australia’s future economic prosperity will depend on how well we can use our vast energy and mineral resources to play to our strengths and create new opportunities through the global transition to net zero emissions,” Dr Marshall said.
“There is a wealth of opportunity in front of us that will only be fully realised by developing a Team Australia response.”
The report, co-funded by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources’ Critical Minerals Facilitation Office, examines the renewable energy technologies expected to undergo accelerated growth over the coming decades and assesses Australia’s potential to derive value from minerals needed to manufacture these technologies.
It also considers Australia’s comparative strengths along each of the technology supply chains to help guide investment in local manufacturing.
The Roadmap estimates the metal value of the energy transition’s top technologies to reach more than $5 trillion dollars globally by 2050, over half of that being battery metals, with greater potential for manufacturing products like cathodes for batteries, or polysilicon for solar PV cells.
CSIRO’s Director Mineral Resources, Jonathan Law, said Australia could significantly increase the value of its mineral exports, enable more local manufacturing and strengthen global supply chains.
“Rather than just extracting the minerals and shipping them away to be refined and turned into products, Australia has a real opportunity to operate all the way along the energy value chain, from extraction to processing, separating, refining and manufacturing high value materials and products,” Mr Law said.
“Connecting our mining and manufacturing sectors can create an investment ecosystem that supports domestic supply chains and resource circularity for our critical minerals.
“The roadmap also demonstrates the economic opportunities that can be harnessed by strategically investing in new critical mineral deposits and processing technologies that reduce cost and environmental footprint.”
Nothing from my side.
I’m expecting before 17th (Hive interview) but that’s just based on past experience & nothing more.
I’m hoping they are all together in one comprehensive RNS rather than batches but not pushed too much either way.

Let’s see if LH answers your questions Kongolasse!
This should be interesting because as far as I can see, he keeps turning up to post whilst not being a holder? There’s only one type of person who posts continuously negative posts & isn’t invested.
Yeah he’s just here to help people :-)
