No one taking the bait from the EMEA... you have to surely lie the blame for that with the directors and their ability or lack of to sell the story of Toral in a way that gets people excited.
I said years ago LR is a technical man and he loves the technical side of mining. That's great in moving all the technical aspects along but as we've seen over the years it does bugger all for the shareprice and doesn't inspire anyone.
As an AIM mining director you need to wear many hats. Yes you need the interest and ability to understand and pursue the technical goals but you also need to manage the newsflow, manage expectations, keep investors interested and excited in order to manage the shareprice and be able to sell the story to bigger investors.
I don't doubt LR's technical nouse but in other areas he definitely is lacking. This 'value event' was another mistake, made by MC apparently but allowed to go into the rns by LR. Now all we hear every day, quite naturally is 'where is the value event'.
If it doesn't turn up and we have to raise cash in the markets again at any price let alone at the current price investor confidence will be destroyed for good. I sincerely hope that scenario doesn't materialise.
