.. approx a half day left today and market is open for a half day tomorrow...

right now I'm very hopeful of this happening....

...please

dyor & imho

The possibility of a raise for Botswana asset progression in earylish 25 may well be a significant factor underpinning the latest epic fall in this s/p ?!

I flippantly said recently that even I'd top up at sub 1p here. Having thought about it more, I'm now far from sure I would: Because of the fear that NVS would see it more in his self interest - eg justify his salary.. have a punt on Botswana whatever etc - to be open to raising a few million gbp even at sub 1p, for Botswana asset progression.. and, if that were to happen, that raise price potentially becoming the new base for this s/p etc

Towards showing consistency of my thinking here more recently, I note I dumped a quarter of my - not particularly significant - BET here when this got back to my b/e of 2p in early Nov.. (I now wish I'd dumped more again)

PS: More generally, I'm coming around to thinking that I trust Colin Bord more than NVS.. but, towards balance, I'll also offer I fancy the Zambia Assets here in the hands of AA hugely versus CB's xtract Zambia assets ( Galileo Resources etc I don't know enough about to comment on as have never had a holding in any cb vehicle beyond Xtract resources ) I'll also add that I rate Colin Bird's performance as average to poor as Exec Chairman of xtr.l, over the many years I've been involved with that share.

NVS's Christmas gift to us Shareholders so far is a 1.10p close today..

But there's still Monday and a half day Tuesday for him to crack open a bottle of sub 1p a share to share with us all.

oh well ..

This time next year, Rodney....

you know it makes sense....

This mornings RNS is fine by me.

Seasons Greetings to all

The one and only Mr Colin Bird has done it one more time in 2024.

I guess his turkey and claret will taste just as nice to him this year too.

PS: I wonder if he'd be open to expensing the emergency aircon repair bill equally across all his stable of AIm'ers.. alongside expensing the return flight from his Dubai pad to his Portugal pad while that Aircon is being fixed, too...

:-)

''The final decision in respect of ICC-2 is expected by the close of February 2025 with the publication of the decision expected during the summer of 2025''

IF an out of court settlement for the above leg of our arbitration journey, it could happen in January for eg - or up to a few months beyond either granted - hence why I expect plenty of short/medium term traders, as well as buy and holders, to come on board here thru coming multi weeks, especially thru Jan itself.... and why I also expect current medium long term holders to be very slow to feed stock into the market in that window either - including plenty of them still underwater here even as this rally progresses nicely along - hopefully resulting in a strong re rate here thru the coming weeks/months..

IMHO & DYOR

I want you to retire too.. not least from this BB, TYB :-)

Great to read this RNS!

Crucial we got this first win under our belt.

And now onto the big ticket arbitration/s with confidence

I've topped up just now... as I don't think 35% up today is remotely fair or reasonable from the current very lowly market cap.

As well as expecting a strong s/p perf this afternoon/ tomorrow etc here ..the early new year view now feels very enticing here too: I'm hoping for a strong in anticipation rally early in 2025...

AIM has short term players in huge abundance these days.. and the month or two nature of the bet here now - with potential huge upside off the back - should interest plenty such players here in coming weeks

IMHO & DYOR

Calm down Mr TenBag.... Calm down

PS The only good thing to ever come out of Manchester was the road to Liverpool

PS: Walk on with hope in your heart...

And you Mr Tenbag are Gary Neville....

''which is the biggest insult I've ever written on this BB''

As Jamie Carragher put it.. Nobody wants to grow up to be a Gary Neville

:-)

Nice rise in train here today, mind.

Hence the negative gusto from gusto, I expect

By comparison, I'll offer:

As Mr WOS might say; here's to the share price he go nut in late Santa rally, please

Long term buy and holds here might be minded of Southampton vrs Spurs last Sunday night:

0-4 in the 35th min

Manager Buck looking over his shoulder, perhaps

Even Chairman WOS and Sporting Director Ten Bag might consider their positions, in due course..

:-)

Speaking of last word.... or first word of this BB clock day even..

I wanted WOS to be my hero....

He might yet be, hopefully...

But I'm now more thinking Doc might be a hero in his own way too ..

However, as I remain long and strong here... here's hoping WOS turns out to be at least somewhat right 'in the end'

( towards balance WOS has been- short/medium term- wrong ad infinitum here.. and DOC has much more in tune with the s/p behaviour here for such a long time.. but, again, here's hoping WOS turns out to be even semi right whenever in the future )

Apols for typo btw.... read Oyster instead of Travelcard

Even I'd top up here if that comes to pass, Travelcard.

I'm juggling balls granted - calm down Simon Lee re TNR btw - between xtr.l going under .5 p and this going under 1p - eg re my equivalence for both - but I'd take a further punt (on either/both in those circumstances)

The race is long.. and in the end it's only with yourself.

I hope for the long suffering in both shares that neither happens.

imho & dyor

...excluding a Saturday or a Sunday

Header nearly but not quite say all, Sirs

PS: Fair play to Mr Doc for ongoingly trying to bring balance here

Perhaps use an 'Investment' in Anglo American or such like large Cap - Miner - for comparison, OSV

Comparing money placed in xtr.l shares with money placed in a bank account is insulting your own intelligence as much as anyone who has 'bet' here.

Generally, you strike me as the type of guy who Colin Bird would have as a mate/preferred investor in xtr.l or whichever of his other AIM vehicles. That does not fill me with hope....

But anything can happen in this hard core gambling game.. so here's to Mr Bird / us getting lucky in 2025 or 2026

Mr Colin Bird has approx 17 m shares here.

I'll guess his average price is v approx 4p - it could easily be higher - which would show a mark to market currently of v approx 600k gbp (?) down .

And he has semi decent holding in all his AIM listed companies.... And all are way - way - down, I expect. Which is a punchy overall cumulative nett down....by most definitions, at least

So, generally, he's shooting himself in the foot more than the vast vast majority of PI's

(Alex Terry is, I expect, down much much more than Mr Bird is here granted. I wonder what sort of seasons greetings he's passing to Mr Bird this Christmas ?)

PS: I think such a rebellious general meeting calling should be pursued next Oct/Nov time, IF progress is poor/bad/ awful etc through 25 Zambia drilling season
