Tsvangirai to win for all investors time Mugabis grip on Zim is brought to an end

On Saturday Zimbabweans will go to the polls to approve a new constitution that has been many years in the making, but which some feel has not been worth the effort. The new constitution will be the last major hurdle before the country can hold elections, probably in late July. That vote will once again pit Robert Mugabe, now 89, and Morgan Tsvangirai against each other. Mugabe shows no signs of having lost the taste for power, and Tsvangirai has certainly shown that he appreciates its privileges. A splendid mansion, shopping trips abroad, and amorous adventures seem evidence of that. Even so, Tsvangirai is the only candidate who proposes a new start, and the west has invested heavily in him. If he wins, the country may indeed get its new start but if he loses the kind of compromise coalition that South Africa's Thabo Mbeki negotiated last time around may be impossible. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/13/zimbabwe-vote-constitution-mugabe

I am of the opinion that the next results will show AQP cash positive persoanlly thats certainly what im hoping for. This is the quarter that i was targeting when buying in the 37-39p range . I may be wrong and you can never call it but in my eyes the bad wood is out in the open . I think we will see production up both Kroondal and Mimosa and again a tighter reign on costs(Mimosa) . This quarter has the impact of hanging wall and Owner Operator complete on costs for Kroondal . We will see in a month or so .

Hi mate my target here is still minimum £1 .Havent got much time now for the whys but will pist some thoughts tomorrow

Well nice to see some blue today . Positives from Randy and his charts too and as IBM said gap filled and bounced off 52p which it struggled with on the way up

All pretty much out there already . Kroondal Shaft K6 due for production April K6 shaft capital project on time and on budget, scheduled to migrate from project to operational shaft by the end of current financial year http://aquariusplatinum.com/sites/aquariusplatinum.com/files/2013%2003%20AQP%20Investor%20Visit%20Australia%20March%202013_0.pdf

The country, which has been ruled by a coalition government since 2009, is due to hold elections after a March referendum on a new constitution While Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Congress-Patriotic Front is backing the indigenization laws Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, who leads the Movement for Democratic Change, has criticized them. “There will be greater clarity on the indigenization after the referendum,” Stephen Meintjes, head of research at stockbroker Imara S.P. Reid, said in a phone interview yesterday. “Things will calm down and sobriety will return.”

The last thing i would call Mugabi is Robin Hood . He robbed from the rich and gave to the poor . Mugabe would be the exact opposite he claims these rules are for the people but he has A Private Jet £500 bottles of Brandy Limos and lives in a palace while his people are some of the porrest in the world and his currency is worth hardly anything A Dictator in its true form not Robin Hood . But his time will come and these upcoming elections will be the end of him IMO

Mimosa is also a cash earning mine and also 1 tailings plant running in profit. All mines and tailings ops that were close to or unprofitable were put on care and maintenance.

makes me laugh Cantor Fitzgerald(formerly Seymour ) have had a reduce rating on AQP for as long as ive been holding here they stated reduce at all prices with target of 34p . Now they still have the reduce rating but have upped the target to 54p but keep the reduce tag lol they have always been the most negative broker here . Anyway Deatchse reiterated BUY target 83 p Today anyway

I dont think platinum dropping from $1720 to $1570 in a week has helped very much

David McKay | Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:45 [miningmx.com] – AQUARIUS Platinum was badly beaten up last year. From R18/share in May, the stock fell to a low of R4/share. It’s now doubled in value, but analysts believe there’s a case for buying more shares in the firm – assuming you don’t mind the risks which revolve around its balance sheet. http://www.miningmx.com/page/news/platinum_group_metals/1529574-Aquarius-Pt-reclaims-degree-of-former-stature

Yeah your correct mate apologies for that just re read the RNS correctly i sort of put my comments up after seeing the other posts re the BUY and admit i didnt read the RNS properly myself not trying to mislead apologies for that . Shares transferred for nil consideration in accordance with the Company's Directors and Employee's Share Plan

Hi John . Glad you made some on AQP . Interested in your post where did you find the info that the £500k shares were part of his package please as ive not seen that and normally on the RNS re holdings if they are gimmes it states so ?

Aquarius Platinum Limited (ASX: AQP)‘s stock had its “buy” rating reaffirmed by research analysts at SBG Securities in a report released on Thursday. They currently have a $1.34 (1 AUD) target price on the stock

Nice to see The CEO putting in £250k plus of his own money in here . Maybe production is looking better than expected this quarter also shows some confidence re the SA situation as a whole as if it was looking like more strikes and problems would he buy at the moment if hr thought more problems on the horizon. Good to see and not just a couple of Frand and not from an incentive scheme just a direct buy .AQP defo takeover target for the future IMO takeover or merger at some point when the Plat sector starts to consolidate

Platinum sector consolidation is expected this year as reduced demand and unit cost increases have left many producers in unsustainable positions, sector sources told dealReporter. But strong long-term fundamentals mean expected IPOs and strategic investments will continue, they added. Short-term M&A activity is likely to involve Xstrata’s [XTA LN] platinum operations and opportunistic bids from miners such as African Rainbow Minerals [ARI SJ, said industry sources. Aquarius [AQP LN] and Northam [NHM SJ] are both potential targets, while an IPO of Sedebilo and secondary listing of Robert Friedland’s Ivanplats [IVP CN] are on the cards, they said Schmidt wouldn’t be drawn on targets but Aquarius and Northam are probably on his watchlist, said a sector banker. Both companies have operations on the Eastern Limb (Aquarius also has extensive operations on the Western Limb). Aquarius’s diversified shareholder base would be unlikely to stand in the way of any takeover offer, noted a second analyst. Meanwhile, Northam’s second biggest shareholder ENRC [ENRC LN] is looking to sell its 13.52% stake and this may encourage third parties, he added. Aquarius, meanwhile, is still awaiting approval from South Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources for its acquisition of Northam’s Booysendal South mine, a transaction announced last May. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/d61f9b0e-7d22-11e2-8bd7-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2LtrfE1nN

Well id say that 80k shares at 4.32 was a buy £46k someone must be confident this is gonna bounce . Or shorters finally exiting here realising they made a rickett shorting it at low 40s lol

Well low of the day 56.38 so if that was the gap Randy was stating and at the time the price was high 60s id say s Merlin says the Gap was filled today lets see where we go lost nearly 20% in a few days here so id expect a bounce back platinum got battered for $100 in 2 days with no real reason behind it following gold down from what i can see . But if economies are recovering which it looks like they may be with Gold falling like it has Industrial metals will come back im holding firm

I remember a few weeks back just before results a chartist on here think it was Randy saying there was a gap to fill on the downward side at 56p . Maybe we are going to fill that gap today . Closed at 57.5 in Oz so fully expecting us to see that in first 30 mins if the gap gets filled then back to upward trend ?? randy if it was you and you read this your views much appreciated fella
