Asking Brad for advice about something that he monumentally ballsed up and then asking for it to be brief. I found this very amusing. My tuppence is to research and think for yourself, it's your money after all. This is nearly as bad as donkey investing at the stock all time highs because a few bulleting boarders ramped it and we know how that ended! Well, actually it hasn't ended we still hear him moaning on a weekly basis how it was everyone else's fault that he put money in here. So yeah the moral is if it involves YOUR money you're best off sorting it out yourself it really isn't difficult.

Yes Copper, Gold, Silver all flying. Has to be good news for us and the resources sector in general. I have 3 resources stocks that have had a golden cross in the last few weeks and a fourth likely to in the next couple which tells me that money is starting to flow back into resources in general.

Personally I see no excuse not to have a plan at least, yes timings and pricing and any number of other things can delay or expedite parts of the plan but you've had years to formulate a plan that should be broadly followed and which shareholders should be able to analyse. If that isn't forthcoming in short order I will be extremely disappointed and CB will have lost any vestige of credibility with me. I remain optimistic but if the agm passes and still no word that won't be a good look.

We have life but we also have significant dilution at a large discount and the prospect of another mine that takes another couple of years to prove up in the hope that someone wants to buy it off us. There's no intention to ever mine anything with this company they look to create value and then sell at a profit but that strategy has done nothing for shareholders over many years. In fact with today's dilution even those that got in early many years ago are now well under water for the foreseeable future. Don't worry though the directors will keep getting paid.

I wasn't offered any opportunity to take part in the placing with the attached carrot of the warrants and I doubt any other ordinary investors were, had we been we might have mitigated somewhat the dilutory effects of the placing but that would have involved management actually caring about long term shareholders, BM conversely has shown only contempt for us as if we're a bit of a nuisance. Remember his frustration when investors had the gall to sell for a profit and tank the shareprice? If I knew then what I know now I'd have done exactly the same in a heartbeat Bryan.

I'm not looking to get anything meaningful back, I came to terms with the fact that I'm losing 99% of what I put in a very long time ago. I just want what's left, not a huge amount but enough to top up some of my other stocks that have also been battered but that of late have started to pick up and show signs of promise.

I don't think you have actually 'read' any of my posts donkey, you might have skimmed over them in the rush to post what you have to say because it's obviously much more important but read them I don't think so.

If you had you would have seen that I've been very balanced, praising the company when they made the odd bit of progress but calling them out each and every time I thought they dropped the ball. The rest of the time I stay quiet because I don't want to just be negative for the sake of it when I have money invested. That's common sense. Does it mean I'm happy with the company and think everything is a bed of roses? Of course not but it is what it is. I can still see a path to profit and I like to remain optimistic. I'm big into Ai so this latest idea does please me, at least I can see potential in it. We'll know soon enough anyway. I'll try not to comment in the interim on the Donkey and Brad bromance, the love hate or love to hate duo of the last decade both fully blinkered up for another groundhog day and another groundhog day and another groundhog day :)))))

God knows why you're still invested in this company donkey you've never had a positive word to say about it. I find it utterly bizarre behaviour to consistently and continually slag off you're own investment dya after day year after year but I'm sure it makes sense to you...

Well for one we hold shares in the company Blackstone so not just the Mankayan project. They have a Nickel project in Vietnam that's 'advancing towards production' so we in effect get 24% of that value too.

Copper price looking very strong. Good for Mankayan, good for Hope & Gorob!

Currently second on the leaderboard of top risers

You're of course entitled to your opinion Mr. T but to dismiss Ai as 'made up nonsense' is blinkered thinking. Ai already outperforms human thinking in most cognitive tasks. Within 3 -5 years most desk jobs will be done by Ai, If it was nonsense you wouldn't see all the worlds top companies collectively pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into it.

Could really do with getting this $h1t show over and done with. I am in 4 other resource companies and they're all starting to show signs of promise. 3 of the 4 have had golden crosses recently and the 4th may follow soon. I want the money tied up here to invest more in one or more of those companies so please Myles wind this company up ASAP and put an end to this whole sorry shambles.

I have to disagree with your idea that half a penny is the absolute top price here Mr. T. I'm not a mining expert by any means but I put a very detailed prompt into a few of the top Ai models for our mine prospect and even their low end conservative valuations came in above the £160 million that would give us a shareprice of a penny. This without extending our mine life beyond 8 years and without expanding the resource (60 km strike length to be explored). Also I didn't include anything about Mankayan which we may or may not hold onto. So my gut instinct is that selling at half a penny (although tempting) may be a little premature.

Some decent points made by all three of you. I understand that now we have the licence there is a lot of latent pent up frustration that now wants to see us get cracking with this mine, I feel exactly the same. Also though we have to bear in mind that just 7 working / trading days have elapsed since the mining licence RNS came out. As I said I'm fairly sure we'll get an update before the AGM.

I wouldn't say a golden cross is irrelevant Mr. T. You're very much interested in the shareprice so a golden cross is extremely relevant because it signals that longer term investor sentiment has changed and become more optimistic about the prospects for BZT. It also signals that we will most likely have a rising shareprice over the coming week and months.

Extremely surprised to read the last few messages. I know Mr. T. has been negative for some time. RMc2407 flipped from extremely negative to recently positive and now back to negative but the biggest surprise is Irish with his last couple of comments.

At a time when we've had the great news of receiving the mining licence for Hope & Gorob and the progress with Mankayan and getting value for it onto our books I'd have expected this bb to be buzzing. Obviously CB has his critics but we are finally making progress. The chart and shareprice reflect this, as of the last few weeks we've had a golden cross and a clear uptrend has formed. We'd obviously all like and believe the shareprice should be higher but the market isn't always as efficient as some would have you believe.

I think there's a decent chance we'll have an update about funding and plans for Hope & Gorob before the AGM. When I listen to CB the enthusiasm is definitely still there, the ability to now push this forward with pace is what's at question given his age and amount of responsibilities across multiple companies. I'm will to give him the benefit of the doubt for a short period.

He has stated it's 'shovel ready' and that we'd be mining this year. We know he's has all the time waiting for the licence to get agreements into place so I'm expecting things to move apace. If we get to the AGM and haven't heard any plans for funding and schedule of works THEN I'll start to criticise but until then I remain very positive.

A great last two trading days this week for TLOU and a pickup in volume. Interesting times ahead.

Brad frequently goes off topic but you persistently mention other companies on here, it's called cross ramping and there is no excuse for it. You're not a child follow the rules or don't bother posting if you find the rules too difficult to follow and understand. Start your own thread about said company and you can post on that all day long and Brad can join you if he wishes.

I've reported your post Donkey as this is the tlou bb not the Botala bb. Please keep posts on topic.

I don't think Keith (and others like him) have missed the boat as the shareprice and market cap are still miniscule compared to the potential here. Anyone buying in now could see staggering returns should things go well...

The real thing those criticising are missing or don't seem to want to listen to is that we know it's a high risk high reward play! We truly get it, I won't be out on the streets, my kids won't go hungry and I won't top myself if this doesn't all work out BUT if it does work out I'll pay off my mortgage and retire 12 - 15 years early and live very comfortably. That is a risk I'm 100% happy to take.
