We are still expecting concentrate sales and other tax credits, so plenty of cash to go beyond 2024.

As for increased bills in March, what are you on about? Mine is on care and maintenance, so what are you referencing?

Yeh, underestimated the ruthless of the necons in fighting till the last Ukrainian.

Things unraveling fast now and for all to see.

It's over. 50b that the EU is to give is mostly loans over 4 years and no cash for weapons. Add on no weapons from the US, it's just a matter of months.

I bet talks are taking place right now for a peace agreement. The US is busy in the middle east now and can't deal with the distraction of Ukraine. It has achieved it's goal of keeping Europe under its wing.

Zelensky wants Zaluzhny ousted for alleged ceasefire-related secret talks with West- Seymour Hersh

Volodymyr Zelensky wants to remove Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny from his post over his alleged involvement in secret talks with Western officials about pursuing a ceasefire with Russia, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported.

"Zelensky's desire to fire his commanding general is the result, some Americans believe, of his knowledge that Zaluzhny has continued to participate - whether directly or through aides is not known - in secret talks since last fall with American and other Western officials on how best to achieve a cease-fire and negotiate an end to the war with Russia," Hersh said.

The New York Times, citing sources, reported Tuesday that Kiev postponed Zaluzhny's dismissal because of a leak about his possible resignation.

The head of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, Kyrillo Budanov, and the commander of the Ukrainian ground forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, were named as possible successors.

If that happens VAST will be debt free. However it needs viable profitable mining at BP going fwd.

Mr Wolfe is heavily invested, but just not in EUA shares 🤣

I think not only the BOD but the whole world knows that things have changed, now that Trump is back. War will soon be over;

Republicans may slow down the allocation of money to Ukraine until the US elections.

According to Punchbowl News, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell told fellow party members that “the policy on this issue has changed,” and Trump wants to campaign on immigration.

"We're in a quandary," McConnell said, expressing doubts that Senate Republicans should move forward with a deal with Democrats that would unblock aid to Ukraine.

McConnell read a quote from Trump criticizing proposed changes to border and immigration policies, called Trump a "nominee," and said, "We don't want you to do anything that would hurt his (chances)."

"This could be the end of getting significant funding for Ukraine through Congress. McConnell is as strong a supporter of Ukraine as anyone in Congress, but opposition is growing within the Republican Party. It will only intensify as Trump's chances of becoming the Republican nominee will grow,” comments co-founder of the Punchbowl News portal John Bresnahan.

Hi David, thought I would try and answer a little bit on this, many don't know as never looked but eua was always meant to mine/explore and be for sale consecutively, it was one of the things that made me truly angry when they moved away from the strategy outlined and deviated from the plan, them looking like they are restarting wk is nothing but good news to myself and should see a very healthy return for your money from that alone.

In regards to buyers wanting an assets up and running and pushing for recruitment I see no reason at all why that isn't reasonable in advance of an acquisition, I think it's important to recognize that the value of wk could most likely avoid any vote etc, I do think the most likely scenario however is that the company quite simply couldn't afford to mine wk whilst paying the increased extraction tax and not being able to sell the product, if that's the case I'm fairly confident they have sold the product which considering vassily's appointment to head up wk and sell the PT has now been changed I think will most likely be seen in rns in the coming weeks.

For me it was very clear that the DD buyer was changed last year with the ability for Christian to buy shares, so the timeline for a sale of mt increased however it's now 6 months ish into that change, the company has over come many negatives over the past 6 months and in my opinion is much healthier buy target today, cash burn in December was just £8k so that q3 timeline imo can be extended.

But I'm also confident in a sale of something before then any way

It would make my absolute day if they took the sinosteel contract personally and started to strip nittis increasing the value of the assets as per the strategy I bought in for. But that's got nothing to do with wk and I'm not sure why some are saying It might.

Let's see what happens next and the company comms over the next month or so, I have compiled a list of questions with the company and hope to see some answers soon clarifying them.

But for now the news wk is recruiting is imo the best we have seen in the past year and a breath of fresh air the company are returning to the great one I signed up for #EUA

#eua I'm perplexed by EUA as I think everyone is. I'm glad the fact they won the tax case means they are funded through to Q3 this year. The lights stay on, but it wouldn't be a good idea just to SIT THERE for nine months in the hope that talks that have been going on years based on due diligence completed years ago will come to fruition. Now we see EUA are hiring and that some activity is happening on the WK site - a site they said would be mothballed until a large asset sale of "substantially everything". The most hopeful take on LSE is that the future buyers have asked for things to be prepared for mining early this year, but that makes no sense, I'm afraid - and I'm invested here. Surely the buyers would just buy the assets now in that case and then handle it themselves? The Chinese loan is another possibility - but that was specifically for MT and not WK - although negotiations could change the terms of course. Could EUA have decided to go it alone? Or to continue mining in parallel track with interminable talks? Could they have taken out a Chinese loan? The news might be eventually positive, but amounting to a fresh extension of any likely timetable for a sale. I have always suspected CS has been playing amateur geopolitics here, with his various predictions of a sale date really being his own predictions of the date of the end of the war. I ***think*** EUA is a buy at 2p, but given that zero hard information is available on this company, I cannot deny there are red flags.

Ukraine has lost 450,000 soldiers and 14m have left the country. Surely the west won't require to sacrifice to the last Ukrainian in its proxy war with Russia.

It's time for Zelensky and Putin to talk peace, end the bloodshed and make a n international agreed settlement.

Incredibly stark': Biden aides give lawmakers a grim assessment of Ukraine without more aid

The president’s national security aides said in a private meeting this week that Russia could win the war within weeks if Congress doesn’t act.

1. 🇺🇸 Zelensky asked for negotiations in Davos, but the United States demands continuation - Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene

A member of the US House of Representatives revealed interesting information about Zelensky’s behavior at the WEF in Davos.

According to her, the President of Ukraine asked for help in starting peace negotiations with Russia, but Washington categorically disagrees with this.

“Zelensky has asked for peace talks in Switzerland, and warmongers in Washington are desperately trying to fund $60 billion to continue the war in Ukraine. It's disgusting! This is America's war and they are proving it! No more money for Ukraine! They want peace!” Greene wrote.

Either Zelensky is a great liar on camera, or American Republicans are ready for any kind of falsehood just to highlight Biden’s inability to resolve this conflict. Who to believe?

2. Zelensky is afraid of Trump coming to power

Ukrainian President Zelensky fears that if Donald Trump returns to the White House next year, this could undermine Ukraine's interests. Zelensky also called the former US president’s statements that he could stop the war in 24 hours “very dangerous,” the Guardian writes.

“ The former US president is going to make decisions on his own, without... I’m not even talking about Russia, but without both sides, without us. If he talks about it publicly, it's a little scary. This really makes me a little nervous,” Zelensky said.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and the Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told lawmakers that Ukraine will lose NATO’s proxy war against Russia in the coming weeks, months at most, if it does not receive more aid soon.

The assessment, described as “incredibly stark” was given to the lawmakers in a private meeting on Wednesday, reported US media.

Sullivan and Haines, two of the highest-ranking aides to US President Joe Biden, blamed a lack of artillery shells and air defense missiles as the most pressing needs. However, Russia has already demonstrated its capability to hit targets all over Ukraine earlier this month.

Biden requested that Congress pass an additional $60bln in aid for the Zelensky regime, but it has been stalled in Congress for months. House Republicans are demanding significant concessions on border security that Democrats would have difficulty justifying to their base.

In my mind there are two likely scenarios.

1. BOD complete asset sale

2. BOD hold tight for another 6 months for better geo political environment and take bids from outside BRICS.

I'm hoping on a sale announcement soon.

Del, do you still hold shares? Surely you would sell if you think there is no asset sale?

Hydrogen economy poised as key growth booster for platinum group metals – Heraeus

Donald Trump, after winning the Republican primaries in Iowa, again promised to end the war in Ukraine “very quickly.”

He said that he gets along “excellently” with Putin and “knows” Zelensky well, making it clear that he intends to arrange their negotiations.

"Putin and I get along great. We get along very well. That's good, not bad. If fake news became real and honest news, 90% of our problems in this country would be solved... The situation with Ukraine is so terrible... And we are going to solve this, we are going to solve it very quickly. I know President Putin very well, I know Zelensky very well, I can involve him, we will solve it very quickly. This (war) should never have happened," he said Trump in Iowa.

Sadly following Vast's tweet last week on copper I think Diamonds are not arriving anytime soon.

Hope I'm wrong.
