Thanks for the list.

LoL. I thought that myself. PJ [CEO, POW] revealed recently that he started with £7,500.
Market Bull has published a new article recently but no one saw it. However, he said in this interview that he had very little money and A YOUNG FAMILY. He also said what his father did as a living - this I liked a lot.
PJ said some time back in an interview with Proactive Investors about his investing that he was just like one of us. By this, I think he may even have posted on stock forums because I recall he said he knew who to follow. I think that after he made some money, he was able to get into the board of Metal Tiger. PJ*s Chartered Accounting Degree comes in useful as he specialised in risk when he worked at the insurance co as a Risk Adjustor. As I said, I dont know much about PJ*s days at Metal Tiger. I did look but it did not appeal as I was only interested in Tier 1*s and at the time, it had not reached Tier 1.
So, PJ must have made money at Metal Tiger since he worked on the co, so much so when Sprott invested, this was the credibility needed.
Then, PJ went on to GGP, at a time of the failed Ernest Giles event when Newmont withdrew.
Callum [GEO] had to step-back from being CEO. PJ then interviewed Gervaise Heddle from Sydney, a fund manager. GGP had to be RE-STRUCTURED and RE-FINANCED. The placing was about 0.10-0.13p. PJ said in that interview above that he has a target of 9X so he sold his GGP shares because he had a tax bill, divorce bill and his wife wanted him to take money off the table given his young family.
Then, PJ also did re-financing at ECR and Rock as well but the latter I am not sure as this is from recall. So, using CFA skills as a chartered accountant, PJ was able to do the corporate work which needs regulatory knowledge etc.
PJ invested in CGNR but not to the extent of 9% as he has now in POW. Usually, PJ take a 3-max 6%. Both PJ and Gervaise Heddle were going to go in to run CGNR with potentially 45km of Irish strike. PJ*s backer fought the CEO who was a former Irish politician all the way to Court but they lost and could not throw out the CEO. The co has gone on to JV at a very good deal with a Fortunate 500 co recently.
I think this was the TURNING POINT FOR PJ. IF THERE WERE NO MORE POTENTIAL SHELLS TO BUY INTO TO RE-STRUCTURE, RE-FINANCE, then he would be stuck given he does not appear to want to take on a co with no potential.
Hence, I think that is how PJ went on to the NEXT STAGE. Why let someone else look for a project like Havieron? GGP bought the Havieron licence for some $250k and had to do geophysics before they drilled. PRE-DRILL GGP was around £25m , POST DRILLING RESULTS, it just shot up and up to £1.4 billion at one stage.
So, PJ is doing the SAME FOR POW. GET THE LICENCE OR BUY THE LICENCE TO A PROSPECIVE project, DO THE GEOPHYSICS, take samples, do trenching if necessary which is cheap, run aerial , do magnetics etc
