Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Morning Sax, I hope all is well with you. That was a nice quiet weekend, especially since I spent most of it in the fresh air. Like you, I think we are in an excellent position for the sale of our assets, but I’d dearly love an update which is Uber positive which will get the sp way north of where we are now just to lift the mood on here.
Have a good day everyone I’m going to disappear to the golf club and do some practice chipping and putting.
Ian, good pictures of your friends funeral, a poignant reminder of how fallible we all are.

Morning everyone, I missed most of yesterday as I was at the funeral of my BIL and then his wake afterwards which we didn’t leave until about 10:30 last night. It was as you would expect a somber occasion but cheered up at the wake. It was good to see the extended family though.
Perhaps Dmitry is giving us all yet another big hint with his re tweet that it will be a BRICS country who buys our assets, perhaps I’m talking shi*e too but I prefer the BRICS option.
Golf lesson followed by grandsons 3rd birthday followed by glass of wine whilst watching tv. Tomorrow is more golf.
Have a good weekend everyone.
ATB Pete
Wolfey, he certainly is but he’s got his work cut out over the summer to get some fresh blood into the club and get rid of some of the old.
Have a good weekend yourself, weather permitting I’ll be on the golf course.

Morning Ian and all, I hope everyone has a good day. Will today be the day that the bod give us some news, we can only hope so. It would be nice just to get some proper clarification on why we were suspended otherwise it’s just supposition and conjecture all the time. Let’s hope that shortly comes very soon for all of us.
I’m busy for most of the day so will only get a chance to look in now and then, but I fancy I won’t miss too much. Enjoy today and have a good weekend.
ATB Pete
Les, I’ll get her something when we next go to the city, but it won’t be a pearl necklace :-) if I got her a hoover id probably end up wearing it.
Ian, tough old day for you yesterday sorry for not mentioning it earlier. I hope you’re feeling better mate.
ATB Pete
Morning Ian, Sax, Pete, Layla and all. Today marks my 15th wedding anniversary so it would be nice to get some really good news to make it a double celebration. The good lady is busy today so I’ll be disappearing to the golf club and just give myself a couple of hours practice. I think a good old curry at a local restaurant is called for tonight unless of course we’ve got notification of a massive divi or sale, then it will be anything that goes with champagne:-)
Tomorrow is my BIL funeral so that’ll be a tough old day for the family but one which I know was a merciful release for him with the amount of pain he was in.
Happy birthday Awstin I hope the bod give you extra reasons to celebrate.
Have a good day everyone and fingers crossed for news quicker than shortly.
ATB Pete
Partypooper, yep time and the fact that if it is AIM that called for suspension and not the Company, I think (note my opinion again) they will start to reveal some news pretty soon. Or is that just wishful thinking?
No matter what it is, that’s my view and hopefully I’ll be correct in my assumption, if not, no harm done.
See you all tomorrow morning.
ATB Pete
Good evening everyone, I missed all the excitement of the RNS landing as I’ve been helping my son in law to concrete a rotary washing line into his garden, then just chatting away. It must have got a few pulse rates racing that it a fact.
Tomorrow I would think we’ll get plenty of shorts closing unless of course they’re disguised or split up. I wonder how many people will have the cahooners to trade, as it has now shown that it takes a second to suspend trading, and with the amount of news that we’ve been waiting for it could happen again at any time ( in my opinion of course). Either way something surely must be close.
More news coming “shortly “
ATB Pete
TMS, if you’re right you will undoubtedly come on here crowing and jumping for joy and telling us you told us so. If you’re wrong you’ll be gone like a flash never to be seen again, until your next monicker is fully established and you’ll infect another board.
As I said below the decision is out of our hands, heads or tails. You’re entitled to your opinion but to most on here your opinion like you is worthless.
You have a nice day
Hi Les, still chasing that little white ball across the countryside but not quite as far as I used to. Still a frustrating game but gets me out in the fresh air and away from some of the toxicity on this board.
How’s Angie doing?
ATB Pete
Good afternoon everyone, the way I look at it is very simplistic and it’s really a series of questions to myself on whether I should worry.
1. Have the institution’s sold out prior to today?
2. Are DLA Piper etc etc still involved in the sale process?
3. Have we had any letters of resignation from any of the bod?
4. Are all of our PGMs still sat there waiting to be dug up?
5. Has our JV been cancelled with Rosgeo?
There’s loads more but you get my drift, the answers are all positive until someone tells us differently. I can’t see the insti’s being right royally shafted as they would blacklist every member of the bod and never invest or trust any of them again. Like everyone I feel a bit disconcerted with a blank statement on suspension, but logic says it’s not bad news. If you’re going to give bad news you give it on a Friday it gives everyone a chance to get used to it and come back Monday used to the idea. Only my opinion with nothing to support it but it keeps me happy to remain positive with my glass half full not half empty.
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.
ATB Pete
I just want to say thanks to everyone here, but especially the LTHs that have been here as long and longer than myself for the good and bad times we’ve had. I hope we all end up with a bucket load of cash for our efforts and faith in this bod.
The shared experience we’ve had has been amazing and one that I’ll remember for many years to come.
I’m off to play golf “shortly “ so I’ll see you all later this afternoon. Have a good day.
ATB Pete
