Can't help thinking that Larry is "Sandbagging" on th Scoping Study completion date - but better that way than the other. I think that one day, out of the blue, we will all wake up to an RNS saying "Toral sold to Boliden for £........ "(or someone similar) then it will be off to the races. It's dull, but u have to be in it to win it, as Dale Winton , used to say, Bless Him. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Good grief ! Does the BOD of this Company NEVER communicate with shareholders ? NO information for 6 months, apart from 2 PME's and virtually nothing in the PR space either. Very surprised at this as Kearney has done very good things elsewhere. (CZN, MInco). All very surprising given that Zinc prices are at record highs now. Looks like the whole BOD needs replacing, together with their PR Company. Website is Pathetic too, which often says a lot about the attitude of the BOD to potential & Existing shareholders. IMHO. DYOr. GLA

Oh well, at least they are getting on with wot JT SHOULD hav been doing 18 months ago and have employed the services of some "proper" people. Now, fully cashed-up to get on with it all too. Looks like it cud b a long, hot Summer , until the Scoping Study is completed in Q4. Ho Hum. Had a look at Canadian Zinc (CZN on TSX) yesterday. They have managed to get themselves upto a £28m mkt cap, after a full DFS, with Resources very similar to what Toral has proved-up so far. Gives an indication of where EUZ cud b in , say, 2 years time, if all goes to plan - and assuming the BOD don't sell Toral outright before that happens, which "may" produce a much better outcome ? IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

sounds OK. No Gold at Klippen, but very promising at Brannberg and Karenberget, where drilling continues apace. They have the old core from Beowulf, from whom they bought the licence area at Brannberg too, so can see a lot, without the cost of drilling everything. This IS an Exploration Company after all . Ireland going OK apparently - at least the weather issues are out of the way ! Hopefully see something on drilling in Sligo, by the end of July 2018 ? IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

I am hearing from Professional Mining friends in the Philippines, that Mankayan is creating a lot of interest amongst Local Philippine Mining Companies, as well as International Ones, now that it is clearly back in the Development/Sale picture. Long may that continue ! Copper & Gold prices both holding steady, even in "Trump World", where nothing seems to make sense any more ! IMHO. DYOR GLA.

Apparently it was cheaper to keep Asx and JSE Listings open , than to close them. Costs a fortune. Also gives BOD another Mkt in which to raise cash - if they need it, in future. (Asx at least - Jse is a joke). New Management have done nearly everything they really needed to do - which JT didn't manage to achieve, with exception of a Consolidation of Stock - and that cud come sooner, or later - who knows ? Now its time to move on with the Core Study and Scoping Study and getting some new potential partners "Warmed up" - in other words "Proper Stuff", not just messing around with Corporate Admin. I remain optimistic, but it will require a lot of hard work to make it a success. Good to see the new Spanish Ground team is being led by Jesus - who used to work for Berkely Energia, which has been a VERY successful Uranium Project in Salmanca, just down the road from Toral. Lets hope that he leads us to Everlasting Zinc ? IMHO DYOR. GLA.

Think you are about correct there Sausage. I make it nearly 4.9 Billion Ord shares, with about a billion options.(which may, or may not get exercised). In other words, too many - and hence the need for a consolidation, before we move forward - IMHO. Otherwise, I am quietly optimistic and think LR in particular has finally rummaged in his trunks, and actually found sumthing ! Either way, he seems like a changed man from 1 year ago. Haven't met MC, but gather he's very good at wot he duz. (Geology). Onward & upward I say. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Ha ! Good start to the new Company - 2 sales and down 6%. Placing stock coming out, no doubt , aided & abetted by MM's. IMHO. DYOR.

Unfortunately Suzy2, the EU has bin ripping us off for years, and the figures used by Boris Johnson are actually Conservative (no pun intended !) I had the misfortune to work in Brussels for a while and the standing joke at all EU meetings was always "Don'y worry, the UK will pay for it all " - and we did. Same could be said for NATO, where we contribute far more than we shud , along with the Americans, so good old Donald is correct about that one too. The whole point of the EU was to steal the Services & Revenue of the City of London, which accounts for 33% of UK GDP and re-locate it to Frankfurt & Paris. Ha Ha Herr Junkers/ Frau Merkel we found you out on that one didn't we ? Just like the inadequacy of the Junkers JU 88 against de Havilland Mosquito Night fighters. Looks like we are heading for a HARD Brexit anyway, which is excellent news for the UK & Ireland as a whole - bring it on. It didn't do Henry 8th, or the UK that followed him, any harm. P.S. Good luck BEM. IMHO DYOR GLA.

Actually I forgot to add the shares from the recent placing which start trading on 12th June, and make the total no of shs in issue 998m. If that were applied to a hypothetical buy of Mankayan for $70m, by "Somebody" then that wud equate to 5.2p per share. Still..... not to be sniffed at ! IMHO. DYOR.

Now EUZ from tomorrow Pedro, on AIM. To Infinity - and beyond !!, as George Clooney once said. IMHO. DYOR.

Thanks for that CE, good to see someone else has done the Maths. I just can't get my head around how, for example, Motorway filling stations are going to look in 10 years time - presumably huge car parks, full of rapid charging EV points ? That's going to need a lot of copper for the Infrastructure AND the cars. Unless Mr Putin vaporises us all with his new Nuclear Trouser-snake missiles ? - who knows ?! IMHO. DYOR.

Goldfields never left Quin - they are still on the Register. Lets assume Goldfields were to pay $70m for the whole of Mankayan again, ( the same as they were going to, 5 years ago), which would be conservative now, even with 777m shs in issue now, that would still be 6.7p per share. Not saying that this is defo going to happen , or that $70m is the price, but iti is a useful guide for BOD discussions and shows the current level of SP undervaluation. Mind you, these things NEVER re-rate until the news actually becomes fact (which is fair ehough), but it gives peeps who follow the faith , to load up now , at decent prices. I, like Quin, do have a strange feeling in my water about this one and it's not just a Urinary Infection ! I still think the BZT will sell Mankayan and wot they can get for Eureka though, and then move on to do good things with FCR, which looks like a longer term, but still potentially huge asset, with a 25 bag potential. (Even with "just" 16m tonnes of Zn proved up, which may prove very conservative). IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

AND, Goldfields are still BZT's largest Instit Shareholder - in fact their largest shareholder, full stop................ IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

And don't forget the new Swedish Reindeer Blood Pancake Factory, in Jokmokk - Yum Tum, Yummy tum Yay ! - as Southpark wud say ! Although that wud b "SOS" for many a poor Reindeer. So sad. IMHO. DYOR.

Was sitting in my hotel in Spain last week watching them install 20 new Tesla Supercharger Ports in the Hotel car Park. Suddenly hit me , how much more copper the World is actually going to need in order to roll out all of the EV Infrastructure. A lot, I concluded, together with Nickel & Cobalt for the new EV Batteries. (Lithium & Graphite less than people think). I shud imagine that talks regarding the fate of Mankayan are ongoing , as I write. Certainly if I were the CEO of Lepanto Mining , Goldfields, or even Glencore, for example, I would be initiating that process, right now. And I am sure that LR & CB would be making the right sort of noises on the other end of the phone........Interesting times ! IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Divided by 1432m shs in issue = 8.6p per share per annum profit, over 20 year mine life. Substantial scope for "Special Dividends" - or, selling the entire project onwards , before production, for a tidy sum. And that's WITHOUT the Cobalt at Vermelho........... SP does not reflect potential future value of projects at all. IMHO. DYOR GLA.

Here Here Dillon and it's Good Riddance to old rubbish , as far as I'm concerned. New Chapter in Company history starting. IMHO DYOR. GLA.

Drilling going on in Ireland apparently, where it's bin VERY wet all winter, which delayed access to fields until recently. But now going ahead full steam apparently, with full support of the locals. They hav also had an opportunity to look inside the old Zinc MIne and take a few more readings and samples. Lets hope that we get results from Ireland coming thru sooner , rather than later - maybe end of June/Early July ? Sweden will do its own thing, regardless. I noted from the Irish Press recently, that a Mining Company are looking to re-open the Old Galmoy Zinc/lead mine again, as reserves are still "in Situ". Shows that the current price of Zinc still makes even relatively small-scale Zinc mining viable. They are hoping to process this thru the processing plant at Tara Mine (NAVAN) , owned by Boliden, which has plenty of spare capacity apparently...............! IMHO DYOR. GLA.

Consolidations don't raise any new money Bobby, they just change the nominal value of the ordinary shares and thus the number of shares in issue and the share price. I take yor point about the higher SP being vulnerable to the MM's dropping it though. It shudn't be necessary, but decent Institutions just wont touch companies with Micro, Micro share prices, such as FCR, at the moment. They like to see at least a 10p /share price. it's not logical , but that's wot happens. The Yanks regard any share under US$1.0 as a penny share , and won't invest, as they think that these are Sh*t companies. FCR, at some point needs some decent Instit Investors on the Share Register, because , at present, apart from CB, there are none, zilch, niente, - and hence the need for an eventual consolidation. They don't have to cost that much if you have a cheap Nomad and Registrar, either. I think that the general turnaround in Management has given decent impetus to getting things going again at Toral, and good luck to them. The new name change enables the Company to take on potential future projects in Europe and dusnt mislead Investors into thinking that the Company is still involved in Iron Ore, in South Africa, which it isn't. I understand that the SA listing is likely to continue for a while, as it's simply too costly to close it - a bit like ASX, which, with hindsight, was another Ed Nealon mistake, when he originally set the company up, in 2010. Onward & upward, I say , and well done LR, MC & CB for clearing up the stinking mess that JT left behind. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.
