Indeed DomHen.. we remain in the dark on funding and implementation progress....

And my guess is this implementation phase might take longer than originally hoped.... it's Africa , things takes longer.. etc..

But this contract is miles off being fully priced in at our current share price/market cap level .. so Mr Market may well already be pricing in such possible implementation delays imho (the Market cap here being only 8 m gbp as I type this)

This share price, he go up.. he go down... he go up again... he go down again.. he go up again.. he go down again..

Sirs

He like who+res knickers, Sirs

(Mr WOS... he like without feather without Mrs WOS Sir's ?)

I think Mr Colin Bird genuinely expected he'd picked a proper winner for a decent chunk of the BushRanger journey so far, Andrew .. and early drilling signs supported that sentiment, in fairness... but the dream petered out mid/later into the journey.. albeit far from to a car crash extent.. so, I agree, there's still some hope for a future sale event to AA or a n other (for at least a couple of tens of million USD I'd hope.. and maybe plenty more on top)

More generally, he has lots of other play things across a multitude of interests.. be that his AIM stable ...or his horsie stable... or property stable..etc ..and his attention is very divided across the lot...and when bored or setback he just easily finds something more entertaining to flip over too..

Meanwhile, we shareholders just powerlessly live in hope that he sometime/somewhere comes up with something the market deems as worth meaningfully appreciating this completely bombed out share price..

(including the lower this share price goes, the more epic the bounce required to get to be meaningful for the long suffering shareholders here)

Ouch..

...but there's always some hope for whenever in the future here..

..... maybe Mr Colin Bird will undertake some Director buying soon.. even 20k gbp would help, and he can well afford it.. and it could, for sundry reasons, be argued to be the right thing to do...

Or would he consider a share buyback scheme for even half a million gbp later this year. if s/p still very lowly ( it has more merit than a dividend imho )

(I half thought about offering a new CEO option too .. but he'd likely only be able to get one of his half baked mates in I'd guess ...and management credibility could still remain shot, alas.... )

Generally, I know this is now a pure play 'tiddler' copper exploration co. and, as such, available money should standardly be focused on exploration.. .. but the round of it right now is that the market is telling us - rightly or wrongly- that the exploration licences xtr.l have will very likely turn out to be worth very little indeed, in the end.

In that context and the context of - I hope - strong cash income ongoing in coming few years, if the s/p was .75p or lower here in Autumn, a small ish - eg a half a million gbp -share buyback scheme in q4 might easily have strong merit imho..

He didn't say which December, TNR

And I see Mattk6's -13.24 post - up to 24 tick ups now.. so far

In answer to Professionals q:

This is text book eg of a good share to trade imho.. So my guess is even Mr WOS do sneaky sneaky Sir trade sometimes here.. and many many regular posting others here too..

I've been trading this for 8 years plus now.. and very thankful for that.. especially 2017.. but those types of glorious spikes are long long gone in the AIM World imho..

Still 10p ish whenever in the future would be lovely, not least as the long suffering here deserve a big break...

I'm surprised that Mattk6's post below - at 13.24 - has only gotten 21 tick ups... so far..

...Around now.. and so started adding back this lunchtime.. and am open to adding more in short order as we go.

Good luck to all fellow holders !

(Towards transparancy, I did sell a big chunk of my holding in the 1.7 to 2p range.. I had a low average fortunately, and getting up towards a bag ish profit from range trading a chunk is not to distained at in this brutal game imho - but kept a small chunk as a core holding to be added back onto as and when, as I like the potential here a lot )

Share price, he go up, Sir.

I help by doing lunchtime top up, Sir

(but not as big a top up as I do on Aminex at lunchtime too, Sir)

I see this on lse gainers board a few days recently(ish).... and glance in and see it has doubled in June so far now .. although from an awfully low base, granted .. so it could just be punting in hope / noise etc

Or is that you buying Mr Zap... now that you might be in the know on all birdy things.. unlikely I'll touch this with a barge poll, in fairness.. but never say never in this game :-)

It has to be taken that this mornings RNS is the correct assessment of the situation..

I'm surprised Mattk6's post below - 8.07am - has only gotten 25 tick ups so far.

CB would have had summer off anyways

''Buy low. Sell high''

Around now that feels like buy at 2.5p and sell at 5p to me.. but great for the long suffering if that turns out to be buy at 3.5 p and sell at 7p.. or some better again sell price even.

I'm still open to adding to my tiny remaining holding here.. concerns about delay/raise still aren't diminishing in my mind, alas

At times like this it's important to be empathic with fellow suffering shareholders imho.

Finding the right words to show such large empathy can be hard, but here goes:

I feel as badly for fellow xtr.l shareholders as I do for Cruella's fiancé

:-)

Well said, smorrisjones.

Sadly the AIM market remains in a broken state generally.. and MM's are running scared.

Also xtr.l is indeed widely perceived as a lifestyle company.... it's up to xtr.l management to disprove this. A hard ask as in many peoples eyes Mr Colin Bird has spent so much time proving xtr.l to be exactly a lifesyle company..

Generally, a new generation of punter needs enter the AIM market to revive its fortunes.. ditto for xtr.l.... it can happen.. but feels a big ask around this time..

From his fine contributions on the xtr.l board, I believe howezap 'knows his onions'

Imho & DYOR

I've added some more here too..

Arcm have know about this soon after the decision and well before small holding found out.. and them/ their NOMAD understood this to be material to the s/p they would have had to RNS about this days back .. they haven't RNS'd, so I'm guessing this fall is well over done... but that's just my guess of course

Your research contributions have been consistent for such a long time here in fairness Cruella !

In an 'out there deep in the left field' sense :-)
