I'm ever so sorry. I forgot. This board isn't supposed to be about illegal immigrants, old or new.

Dammit! I'd forgotten about the tulip.

Bang go this long in the tooth old man's dreams of being a millionaire by Friday..

Compared to other share chat boards, this one is very very quiet. It's as if the market has lost all interest in Ithaca

I agree about Clig. Amost all it has going for it is the dividend. I'd like to agree with you about Ithaca but I've lost some confidence in it since the drop.

I'll wait and see how the week pans out.

No matter! There are other fish to be caught.

After reading today's posts, I reckon anyone wanting to get in tomorrow has already missed the boat.

You don't have to wait to actually receive a dividend before selling. The important date is the XD date.

Once you're past the XD date you don't lose the dividend when you sell. But you probably know that anyway.

The dividend is very attractive. I've got a few thousand £ coming my way from ITH at the end of this month. However there are other shares, such as CLIG,

paying large dividends. Without the risk but, unfortunately, not the potential of ITH. I've got a few CLIG.

Most of the shares I'm aware of with high growth potential don't pay dividends.

Decisions! Decisions! Life can be a bugger on times.

If I do sell it will be because I've accepted the loss, see little prospect of recovering it if I stay with ITH, because ITH has lost the confidence of the market, and I see better prospects elsewhere.

I'll have a better idea of what to do as the week progresses.

I got caught up in the rush to buy ITH so am now overweight in ITH and seeing a huge loss because of the drop.

Although selling a loss is not the best policy, there are too many better prospects out there to ignore.

I will judge the situation over the next few days and might start selling some of my ITH shares to diversify my portfolio.

Judging solely on the few comments on here, much of the shareholding fraternity seems to have lost interest in ITH.

Even if they have, It won't change ITH's prospects and could be good for loyal shareholders in the long run.

From interim results report dated 4th September 2025

Shaun Bunn, Managing Director, commented: "The first half of 2025 has been a period of remarkable activity and momentum for Empire. Pitfield is no longer just a discovery story - it is fast becoming recognised as a project of global importance, with results that continue to exceed expectations. Our drilling campaigns have delivered some of the highest TiO₂ grades we've seen to date, confirming not only the exceptional quality of the deposit but also its scale consistency and simplicity.

"Metallurgical testwork has shown that we can achieve a product of extraordinary purity using straightforward, conventional processing methods. This rare combination of scale, grade and simplicity underpins our confidence that Pitfield can emerge as one of the world's leading titanium projects, capable of supplying high-value sectors such as aerospace and defence for decades to come.

"From an operational standpoint, we are now on the cusp of delivering our maiden MRE, which we believe will firmly establish Pitfield among the world's leading titanium assets. Beyond that, the pathway is clear: complete our expanded testwork, progress to pilot-scale operations, and begin engaging directly with end-users - particularly in high-value markets such as aerospace and defence, where titanium's strategic importance is growing rapidly.

"It is also encouraging to see the strength of market support for what we are building and I am confident that Empire can bring this once-in-a-lifetime discovery to commercial fruition in an expedient manner. With a world-class asset, a strengthened technical team, and strong financial backing, we are exceptionally well positioned for the next phase of growth."

Empire published their interim results on 4th September 2025 (two days ago.

These are the highlights:

· Pitfield confirmed as the world's most significant new titanium discovery, with unparalled scale, consistency of high-grade and purity.

· Largest drilling campaign to date launched at the Thomas Prospect delivered outstanding results and identified a large high-grade near-surface core, averaging ~6% TiO₂ over a continuous 3.6km strike.

· Metallurgical testwork achieved a 99.25% TiO₂ product, demonstrating a highly efficient and potentially lower-cost processing route.

· Process development work has confirmed that Pitfield's weathered ore is ideally suited to conventional mineral separation and refining, differentiating it from ilmenite-based projects which typically face lower recoveries, higher costs, and significant environmental challenges.

· Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") on track for release in the coming weeks.

· £4.5m raised in May 2025 to accelerate Pitfield development, with strong institutional support.

· Further strengthening of board and technicial team with appointment of Phil Brumit as Non-Executive Director, Alan Rubio as Study Manager and Pocholo Aviso as Hydro-metallurgist.

· Commenced US trading on the OTCQX in the US, broadening international investor access.

I hope

I saw this today:

"Anticipation of a decision to further boost to oil production at Sunday’s OPEC+ meeting has driven another fall in Brent Crude prices which now sit at around $66.7 per barrel."

Harty:

I'm not nervous, although I arrived late to the party and need a good solid increase to get rid of my loss.

225p+ would do nicely for me.

I don't know their names. I was generally referring to those who are selling.

Some people still seem nervous about holding Ithaca shares

That could push the sp up. As well as what should be a natural post XD rebound

It seems it might have
