"I have held some real dogs that looked good but have drifted, jam tomorrow, continuous placing etc..."

Not talking about NUOG by any chance were you Dealer!? ;-)

"the buyout price will not be 5p IMO"

I do hope you are correct Prospector, but only time will tell.

I just hope that those of us who originally invested in GGP some years ago now, and took a risk, will now see a fair return for their loyalty to the company through the good times and the bad!? (Personally I haven't sold a single share, even after NM walked).

Any "Buy-Out" offer south of 10p would be a big disappointment IMHO!

Mickey,

Totally agree, there is absolutely no parallel between CB/GH and the Ruias (who floated a Essar Oil at £4.20 odd a share, only to then spend the following years driving down the SP before (force-ably) taking the company private again for around 60p a share from memory!).

However that doesn't change the fact that we could still be taken out even at a so called "premium" for not more than 4 or 5p a share could we not? (well under what we could be worth IMO in years to come if left alone to prove up what we have?).

Whilst some on here with far larger holdings than my own fairly modest 2m shares might be happy with that, I most certainly wouldn't!

Still I suppose worrying won't change anything, and what will be will be!

In any case I'm sure we'll make money, it's just how much (and is it fair considering what it looks like we have)?

Thanks Prospector.

So the way I see it potentially (as Newcrest are obviously privy to their own drill results before us?) NC will know what is there and will try to get it from us as cheaply as possible (and for certainly nowhere near what we LTHs were hoping for at some point in the future) before using it to enhance their own Company's value to Rio?

Potential end result then is (as I have always feared) that we get taken out "on the cheap", whilst NC shareholders, now owning Hav, enjoy a bumper payday if bought out by Rio?

Sorry to be cynical/negative but I was invested in Essar Oil a while back now only to see we shareholders get totally robbed of the company's true potential future worth when the Ruia Family decided to take the company private again, forcing us to sell our shares at a ridiculously low price (considering their initial IPO price and future potential worth, which is obviously why they did it!! :-( )

Whilst I am in profit, I invested here for "life changing money" not just "Pocket Money" but still worry that we small PIs having taken all of the risk over the years (5 for me now) will not get a fair share of what we have?

Excuse my ignorance, but were a full takeover of Newcrest by Rio eventually come to fruition, then what effect exactly would that have on the GGP share price?

Subject to the JV terms being fulfilled, NC will own 70% of Hav (with the option for another 5%) if Rio were to become the "owner" of 70-75% of Hav, what difference would that make to us? We will have still given up the same % just to someone else.

"FT or BH positive drill results and you'll see us getting taken out"

Don't you mean "robbed"!?

Personally I'd be severely pssied at being "taken out" for only 2.5p per share!

(Move the decimal point one place to the right and then we're talking!!?? LOL)

HL here also. No real complaints.

50p would certainly work for me Hawkesbay!

(We can only but dream!?)

GLA our time is coming IMO!
GLA

Even if these were to reach 1.13p per share (LMFAO!!) I'd have still been better off parking my "investment" in a Building Society Savings Account for the last 2 years!

My only hope now is that both Minty Sr & Jr get visited by a fcuk ton of karma!

Still it could be worse. I could be having to explain to the wife how I managed to lose a siht load of money (like LT is no doubt going to have to at some point?!) :-(

Erm, I think you specifically said Havieron!?

Filtered!

Currently sitting on a 61% profit personally, so who's "ramping".

If you don't believe in the potential of the company mark50 then just sell up! (they'll be plenty of takers for your shares I'm sure!)

Been invested here over 5 years now and not sold a single share. (Just wish I had more funds available to top up with at these levels!)

"Long enough to remember the Guinness scandal and the jail terms handed out."

You mean the paltry 10 months Ernest Saunders served of his 5 year jail sentence for fraudulently attempting to manipulate the Guinness Share Price , before being released early due to that fact that he was supposedly suffering from Alzheimer's disease which is incurable (I know as my father has it! :-( ) only to then go on to subsequently make a miraculous full recovery?! :-(

From the email I have just replied to this morning it appears Simon's is "on holiday" until the 12th!

(Hope he's got some job interviews lined up as the way this Share is going atm he's going to need them?!)

Hilarious Film!

Here's a taster! :-)

I called HL who suggested that I might like to "Google SRN/HIN, as the shares are no longer listed on their system"!!

As helpful as always?! (WTF!)

Timbo237

That's exactly what I said in my reply (see below)

"Simon,

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Whilst I take on board what you said in your email, I am quite certain that I am not alone in having all but written off my investment in NUOG (as currently sitting on a 90% loss!!!).

What is especially telling however is the total lack of "Director Take Up" of any additional shares, especially with the abysmally low current share price?!

Surely it is logical to assume that if any of your board had any confidence whatsoever in the company and its ability "to deliver" on anything that has been previously alluded, they would have "put their money where there mouth is" and increased their own personal holdings?

For now I will await for the elusive "rabbit to be pulled from the hat", but I certainly won't be holding my breath whilst doing so.

Regards,

Matt".

Received the following response to my earlier email yesterday at 18:28 (so he's no doubt pretty busy!? LOL)

"Dear Matt,

Thank you for your email. I recognise that it has been a difficult week for you and all shareholders. The downward pressure on the share price was not the result of any change in the business but followed a single person reducing their position. We do not believe that the current share price accurately reflects the fundamentals of the company or its future prospects.

I acknowledge shareholders’ requests that we publicly address the movement in the market, however, the approach we have taken is deemed to be in the interests of shareholders, based upon discussions with the company’s advisers.

The Board recognises the need to build confidence amongst investors and we are focused on delivering tangible results required to achieve this. I would like to assure you that the Board is listening to shareholders’ concerns and will be taking steps to address these as soon as possible.

If you would like to discuss any questions or concerns feel free to contact me on +44 (0)7826 150 536.

We appreciate your continued support.

Kind regards,

Simon".

(Another "cut & paste" blanket response no doubt!?)

"I'm not investing anymore in the cess pit that is Aim!!"

They're not all bad NornIronlad!

(If it wasn't for my current investment in GGP (currently 75% up) I'd be in serious trouble!

"What about Simon Bygrave haven't seen him post anything for quite a while on twitter".

I sent him a "What the f*ck is going on with the Share Price!?!!" email yesterday Insiduous and received the following response!

"Dear Matt,
Thank you for your email.
As you can appreciate there has been a high volume of correspondence from shareholders in recent days. I will respond to your questions or comments as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience.
Kind regards,
Simon."

I bet he spent yesterday "copying and pasting" that message all day long!? LOL!

(Can only hope now that Karma visits the Minty Clan "in spades" as I for one am 91% down and have now written this off! :-( )
