The RNS and s/p fall today has me take a rare look in here now...

All playing out as I expected, so far..... but hopefully Claude can find a way of turning the s/p fortunes of lnd.l meaningfully around at some stage in the future.. it can be done... but from my experience in the small cap resource game and AIM game generally, it's now a very big ask and much more unlikely than likely, alas

Quality posting here this morning gents, thanks.. (a shout especially for such lovely balance to jdt1990 09.13 post)

(I feel I should try and reciprocate with something contentful in response.. but it makes me sad to think about this share in any detail .. not least sad for those who have been financially massacred over ten or fifteen plus years here now.... fortunately, my loss here will not be particularly meaningful.. so me offering it's best see this as a valuable learning experience and move on, may, understandably, not be to plenty here's taste... but the s/p chart here speaks crystal clearly for itself, sadly)

I bid safe penetration to prophylactic in whatever AIM shares he plays beyond Copl

I remain king and strong here …but am of course concerned about bond holder(s) conversion around what I’m hoping is about to be a transformational time for Copl

Thanks for confirming it's extremely likely Ananda using that similar new alias, Surfie and Bucolic.

And being rude to others after this s/p performance versus his predictions here is outrageous.

Speaking of hilarious.. him creating a new alias that's extremely similar to his old one, after how wrong he has been here for so long in his 450 p ish target has me laughing out loud....surely, this time around, he'd want nobody to recognise for the fantasist he was as Ananda ? Consistently delusional, at least, I suppose :-)

You've spent v approx $15m on Bushranger and the market currently valuing it at zero speaks for itself, Mr Bird.

It should now be obvious to a blind man that the coming months need to be about you seriously publicising Manica.

(I've been here for many years with Manica as my main area of interest thru that time.... it's now in its sweet spot...so show me a smidgeon of respect and go publicise it properly/fully from now forward please!)

Just looking in to try and catch up on this doggy.. I have a couple of grand still left in here which is somewhat underwater.. but don't care much... unless I decided to add....

Had half a though about adding this week.. but I see a poster ahananda posting away here... and reminds me of Ananda .. may well be the same guy with a new alias even? .. if yes his 450p target is as long as ever away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Generally, Ananda was one of the most delusional posters across all the LSE BB's imho.. and I follow LOTS of them and post on plenty too.. and in case they're one in the same guy best I not add here and have to once again regularly read his fantastical surreality

It's just witing to rerate.. hopefully.. and soon too please..

If there were a Catch it's likely The Obese Dragon fish.....Opostomias micripnus.... or Art for short.. It's not the most attractive fish - although “obese” is a stretch - with a scaleless body and a barbel hanging off its chin.

All we need here is for our JV overseer, the one and only Arfur, to love us even 10% as much as he loves himself.. Can't be a huge ask, can it ? .. Even if a big ask.. it's still doable.. so ....buy low .. and sell high .. you know it makes sense Rodders !!

1) COPL and Cathy's PR company seem a perfect match to me..

2) Anybody who is has been a shareholder here for a medium or long time can fairly claim anger as an overriding emotion

3) You're a high quality poster here Stas

Imho

In answer to your question, I refer you to the last line in Andrew's post below Jezzoo :-)

''A good hold or buy at a £10 market cap.''

That typo made me laugh out loud.

More seriously, CB needs to start specifically and focusedly publicising Manica now.

(If he doesn't do that into early 2024. I'll start posting hard for him to bring in a CEO here asap and will also look to meaningfully downsize the max bet in play I allow myself here too)

Well put Zero.. especially including legally, RNS's -RNA's to a lesser extent - have far more weight than Q& A webinars & paid for publicity...

That said, my guess is they have some confidence that real production progress is/will now being/be made .. else they'd continue to keep their heads deeply buried in the sand. Human nature is to shout about progress and say as little as possible through regress... and, in my experience, that's incredibly true in the small cap game .. where there's such a fine line between have a go heroing and company failuring.

Generally, make no mistake this company has been saved from going under ongoingly for quite some time now by Anavio; and COPL are absolutely playing to Anavio's rules now.

Refreshing to hear that all this recent buying isn’t just you averaging down- again- Ctw 😉

Imho The only time Art and NED should appear in the same sentence is: Art is a World Class NEDDY

I'm sad to see lesmouches leave here (I have no idea if him selling up now is a good idea or not... and interesting posting on MATD board yesterday by you Sir btw)

The way I've gotten over the anger/annoyance of AIM - I know this isn't, but it's potentially/maybe already as bad as the worst of AIM.. so it may as well be AIM to me - is to see the game as follows: 'Institutions' say you must tell a great story for us to be able to get you to market.. and subsequently say great story/ies required too for us to get raise(s) away for you thereafter.... unfortunately the CEO's incrementally begin to believe their own story telling off the back of these exercises, to the extend that they see themselves as visionaries where the big picture is their realm... and the 'small stuff' - that can bankrupt the company any time thru the journey - becomes less and less relevant to them as they go.

PS: Approx - in my estimation - 15% of the time these visionaries end up home running it.... the rest end up is varying degrees of car crash.

Here's very much hoping Art T is in that 15%.

Hat tip to jamesiecakes too.. I hadn't read that post ahead of posting mine..

Much appreciated andmillsy and Naughtiegordie... (and you are such a quality poster andmillsy that I again here/now gratefully tip my hat to you)

This is v important; and CB has to be very awake to doing everything he can to get the operator to bring these costs down asap. In that recent q2 Manica RNS he did at least say.. ''We continue to work with and encourage the Operator to achieve sustainability and excellence with a view to reducing mine costs to below US$1,000 per ounce which we feel is achievable against all of the critical parameters of the operation.''.. and that shows me he is awake to this.

Getting down to under $1000 per ounce would be a meaningful thing in itself from where have been at recently ! (even around $1000 would be good progress, please.. and generally there's clear scope for bottom line improvement in revenue to xtr from this production cost management aspect.... as well as production growth etc too

(but I also note that $700 or $800 per ounce costs seems now parked away in the very full car park of Colin Bird bullish+t vehicles.. or more succinctly, yet more Birdsh+t)

This time next year - or month, hopefully - Rodney.. You know it makes sense!

Otherwise laughing in the face of it all is the only answer imho.. And to that end:

Trigger On The New Trotter To Be:

"If it's a girl they're calling her Sigourney after an actress, and if it's a boy they're naming him Rodney after Dave."

I agree that the fundamentals here are very strong now.. and this s/p is currently joke low versus these fundamentals.

Towards balance, and supporting Howezap's thinking below, I note that the AIM all share index - which I see as my p/f benchmark - has been going down for 26 months now to the tune of overall 50 ish % down.. and while I hugely hope the Index fall is nearly done, sadly and even more soul destroyingly again it may easily not be. This illustrates how bad things are across AIM generally.

(Towards context, by comparison, the 2008/2009 'great crash', saw a ultra brutal 66 % per cent ish fall in the AIM all share Index.. but it turned meaningfully back up after 20 months falling)

Also, howezap has below given our sector specific company comparisons too, to show that this sector is indeed an equivalent car crash to the overall index too.

All afore said, CB has undermined his own credibility very badly ALL through the Bushranger episode imho.. so he is a big part of the problem too here, I have little doubt. On top of this he called forward copper price extremely badly in 2023 and 2022 to an extent and 2024 perhaps/likely too. And his timelines on just about everything have been MUCH too bullish as a rule for the many years I've been involved in holding this stock, so his credibility was pretty low ahead of Bushranger too, alas. But at least he has been very consistent for a long time now, in fairness!

Applicable in a specific and wider sense too, CDF1?

eg of latter: 'coplaction'
