Indeed Quindell. FCR in the same boat as BZt and with the same BOD, so I wonder if someone will try to put these 2 Cos together one day - it would make sense ? Going forward, in the harsh new World of AIM Junior Miners it is going to be those companies with JORC -lsted assets that move forward and raise money to fund their projects. As oiltap, on the FCR htread recently - its also going to be those companies whose BOD's have skin in the game, who will be respected and followed by investors. People are wary of the "lifestyle" merchants now and can sniff them out. At the end of the day though, it always comes down to PEOPLE and the strength of the Management team and to date, the BZT/FCR Teams have not yet proved themselves - though they might , in due course. I wish them luck. And, as you rightly say - you DO have to buy these kind of shares when they are at the bottom, with their legs in the air - and no-one ever rings a bell to tell you when the bottom has been reached, so investors just have to make a personal judgement on that one. As an aside, on strength of Management criteria, I have invested in HZM & ERIS recently, as both are from the same stable, and have excellent BOD's. (sorry about the mention , I'm not Piers Morgan, honest !). IMHO DYOR GLA.

Well you can finally buy stock under 4p this morning ! Yay ! I shall be proceeding. Thanks Mr Griffiths.

Less than AUS$200k, by now, I shud think. In other words, not enough. So cash raise, or some other form of corporate Action needed........... IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Here here Qunidell, over $1m in cash actually, so that's not small at all, and no need for a placing for quite a while. That's not to say other things cudn't happen though..... Effectively a completely new Management Team on Board and LR and CB have a chance to show what they are made of. Could go either way, but Mankayan is one hell of a big asset, which somebody shud b interested in, as the Philippine re-opens for mining business . Goldfields walked away because of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis , the collapse in the demand for copper and the price of that mineral, not because the asset was naff. Choco could work with the right JV partner and production methods as a profitable mine. That's who LR & CB are trying to find now. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

BZT getting a bit of a "Whooping in the Woodshed" today - clearly something about to happen shortly ................. ! MM's have a "unique" talent of being able to predict the future ! IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Alan Green/ Justin Waite just hilarious. Thought I was listening to a Bradley Walsh show - and they had just about as much knowledge of FCR. Didn't mention how to Fund the Mine or question the competence of Management I notice, or the fact that they were almost out of cash & had over 3 Billion shares in issue either !! Joke. IMHO. DYOR.GLA.

I'm sure that LR, MC & CB have it all in hand. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Anywhere around the 4p level, this looks like VERY good value on a 2-3 year view. Don't care wot Mr Griffiths is doing. Outstanding Asset, with Outstanding management , fully funded for BFS. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Well, lets hope the drilling results pull it up by the Bootstraps. Certainly drifting at the moment though, with no visible signs of SP support ! IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Well Con has been tooling around in the bogs of Ireland for about the past 10 years, for no tangible result, as far as I can see. Their projects look Sub-Scale , in my view, and although many of their Zinc licences are on the edge of highly prospective licence areas, it seems as though the "Big Boys" such as Glencore, have the main "in the money" Asset. As for Gold in the Irish Republic, well, people have been looking for a sizeable deposit for the past 500 years and nobody has ever found the supposed "Mother Lode", from where Ireland's Neolithic Gold allegedly emanated. Many people now think that ancient gold came from traders in Persia and North Africa, and wasn't domestically sourced at all. Who knows, but to date, Irelands only producing gold mine is Galantas (GAL.L), at Omagh and even that has had to shut down recently until the planning consent can be sorted out and the "Nimby's" appeased. The biggest potential Zinc discovery I see, is Glencore (42m tons Zn ?), at Pallas Green, though that is likely to be highly diluted by the rest of their global assets. Erris Resources (ERIS.L), a newbie, also looks quite interesting - off the main Rathdowney trend, but drilling around an old Zinc/Lead/Silver mine, in a highly prospective area near Sligo, together with Gold in Sweden, which they KNOW is there. Zinc of Ireland (an Aussie Co) also looks quite interesting on the Irish Zn front. Hope that helps. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Sadly, Hemo/Prickly you are quite correct, but I can't help thinking that some form of major Corporate Consolidation exercise is long overdue in the Colin Bird "Empire" sometime relatively soon ? (BZT/FCR/Xtract/Galilieo/Jubilee) As peeps hav said - he's not exactly a Spring Chicken - if he were KFC wud b after him ! IMHO. DYOR GLA.

Anyone noticed that the BOD's of BZT & FCR are now effectively the same people ? ................ IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Agreed Quindell, and CB is probably behind it - in one form or the other. I suspect he's either going to exercise his 0.075p options, to keep the Company Going, Pro Tem and perhaps raise a little more money besides, through the Broker (now Peterhouse). OR, we may see some sort of Corporate Action - perhaps with one of his Associated Companies ? Who knows ? We shall find out fairly soon, I suspect ? IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

He's saying there's a placing coming. The Company has no cash. It's as simple as that. IMHO. DYOR.

So we have to wait another 3 months ! So what, big deal. ! At least the Management are Good and both Assets are World class and it looks as though HZM has a very good chance of going into production - unlike most of the Bumbag Junior mining Cos on AIM. Why sell, if you know those facts ? You are just paying commission to Brokers like Beauforts, and Market Makers & could miss the chance of the SP taking off, on facts that haven't yet bin released to the mkt. IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Very good Podcast by JM. Refreshing to see an Aim-Listed Co, whose Management actually seem to know what they are doing and have skin in the game. Looks like a "Proper" Company. Clearly undervalued in relation to its quoted peer -group. IMHO. DYOR.

Agreed TradeUK, one even wonders about the future sustainability of the whole UK AIM Market. The Regulators have, to date, done very little to combat dubious Broking Practices, in the Uk AIM Market going on. BUT then again, who pays the FCA's Fees - the Brokers , so why wud they ? IMHO, DYOR. GLA.

The Beaufort situation has got even worse. They are now charged with Fraud & Money Laundering in the US Markets, together with allegedly operating "Pump & Dump" schemes over there, which cost investors over $50m, as well as trying to buy Picasso Paintings with the proceeds. One wonders what was going on in their UK Offices as well ? IMHO. DYOR.

This Beaufort stuff does NOT read well. They are now charged with Fraud & Money Laundering in the USA, including trying to buy Picasso paintings on the QT. I know the UK is not the US, but one has to wonder about what their Brokers were upto in the UK Market as well ? IMHO. DYOR. GLA.

Peterhouse now Sole Broker to both FCR AND BZT and LR & CB now running both Cos as well. Could we see some form of Corporate Restructuring in the relatively near future I wonder ? ! And as for the BOD" talking to major companies" - there has been far too much "Talking" from this Company over the years, what we now need to see is some ACTION - that and a STRATEGY , for the future ! IMHO. DYOR. GLA.
