KYS: The Pakrut gold project, of which Kryso has 100% ownership, is situated in western Tajikistan approximately 112 km northeast of the capital city Dushanbe. Pakrut has total JORC Code-compliant gold resources of 1,984,272 oz Au (assuming a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au) and is located within the Tien Shan gold belt, which extends from Uzbekistan into Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and western China, and which hosts a number of multi-million ounce gold deposits. Drilling at Pakrut has previously returned numerous exciting intersections, including 123.7m at 6.14g/t Au, 42m at 11.17g/t Au and 50m at 5.67g/t Au. A bankable feasibility study for the Pakrut project is currently being undertaken by the Beijing General Research Institute of Mining & Metallurgy. The bankable feasibility study is targeted for completion before the end of 2009. An internal prefeasibility study completed in 2008 envisaged a mining operation at Pakrut producing in excess of 100,000oz Au per annum with cash costs of approximately US$300/oz Au. Tajikistan is a secular republic located in Central Asia which hosts numerous operating precious metal mines as well as the largest aluminium smelter in Central Asia. Kryso's management team has extensive experience in the mining industry in Tajikistan. SP has risen to around 8p over the last few months but is still worth buying on any dips before any further news. Once the results of the feasability study are out. 8p will seem cheap.

NVTA: Noventa's strategy is to be the world's largest, low cost industrial scale supplier of tantalum concentrate, a rare speciality metal widely used in the consumer electronics industry. The Company's Marropino mine in Mozambique is currently under care and maintenance and they are investigating how to reduce the cost of production before recommencing operations. This will be done using the existing plant with modifications or alternatively using an additional plant. The restart is subject to funding having been secured. There is currently a shortage of tantalum supply and stock levels in the industry are being run down. Noventa is in a unique position to expand production to meet the industries needs. Noventa has a strong and experienced management team with a demonstrable track record and also has a long term fixed price off-take agreement in place for sale of substantial proportion of tantalum concentrate produced from its existing operation. A strong indication that the market is now prepared to consider high risk investments again was indicated by the fact that Noventa completed its £2.1 million fundraising. And what is more, such was the level of demand that it was able to go back and raise an additional £1.6 million. The placing list would make interesting reading, as it is clear that some of the City's big guns have participated. The money will be used to fix the remaining problems at its Marropino tantalum mine in Mozambique. At 6p, a bargain I feel.

At last a few minutes to catch up. Been busy with work and other stuff, which has been a good thing as it's kept me away from the FTSE. What a week! I'm down on everything, even my Russians are only stirring today with better news on metal prices. HDY has gone below 250p but has bottomed now I hope.BAO is doing OK and CSLT is the pits. I'm out of there first chance I get. I hold my hands up on that one, it's going nowhere fast. Oh well' I have done a lot of research recently and have got about a dozen 'good prospects' which I won't bore you with but here are a few thoughts. Take from them what ypu will. (See next post)

...poor results yet again. I really can't see this one moving up substantially until they get back into profit and start paying a dividend again. It's all 'Jam Tomorrow' for the long suffering shareholders. Let's see less of the profits going into ever increasing salaries and more to the owners of the company - US !

Hey, didn't know you were over here as well. Looks like the PI's have been stuffed once again in the name of Corporate incompetence / greed. I held this for a long time in my SIPP, having bought as a recovery stock at 8p. When it took off, I sold at 18p, then watched it fly up to 40p or so. I could not see the value at that level as the debt covenant issue was still there, and so I watched it gradually re-trace. I was intending getting back in again at some point, now glad I didn't. The company mat well improve once certain members of the present board are out of the way, but it looks like the current small shareholders have been shafted.

..UP we go !

..to see SP holding again in a falling FTSE, could see a tick up after lunch.

Good to see HDY moving up in a falling market. IMO the selling was well overdone over the last couple of days and when the realisation hits in that this is now at a genuine bargain price, I'm sure the buys will take us up again pretty soon.

Ouch ! Sorry I looked now. Oh well, off to the pub !

Sorry guys, work getting in the way again. Not a good day yesterday, let's hope today is better. Speak later.

DRILLING PROGRAMME TO PROCEED Finance Director Dinesh Dattani said the company was optimistic the reservoir did contain oil and gas and that it would press ahead with its plan to drill another three wells. Reliance Industries declined to comment. Analysts said the large amount of gas Reliance has discovered and is pumping from the adjacent D6 block in the KG basin would help the company tide over the prospect of a less attractive yield from the D9 block. 'Everybody is looking at the company's exploration and production prospects,' Deven Choksey, chief executive of K.R. Choksey Shares and Securities, said. 'But we feel the impact on the company due to the abandoning of this one block would not be much,' he said. Hardy Oil has previously said potential reserves in the D9 block are estimated at 10.8 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas and 143 million barrels of oil. In Reliance's D6 block, two fields are expected to hold reserves of 10.03 TCF, and the project has the potential to generate $42 billion in revenue over its life of 11 years.

Gercha, cheeky young b*gger !

I couldn't trade without live prices, or level 2 for that matter, but I know lots who do. What am I saying, I USED TO ! and I remember the days when I only had the FT to go off and then CEEFAX. Ah those were the days, beer 2/6 a pint, petrol 3 shillings a gallon, and ladies wore stockings instead of tights...

Just had a small dip into HDY at the close. Did a quick 'research' and concluded that the fall in SP has been well overdone, so got a couple of K's. I expected it to recover after lunch, but as it didn't, I couldn't resist. But is still within my strategy. Look it up over the weekend, may still be low on Monday. This is a good company we're talking about and it's 40% down, admittedly, off a high, but I still think it's a bargain.

Prospective buyers will have all weekend to research this share and when they realise the value here at the moment, I think we may see a move North. Hope so anyway, it certainly tempted me in !

Not everybody has access to live SP's and many do appreciate the posting of live prices and level 2 info, especially in times of SP volatility.

I bought these at 118p back in May, I think it was, and sold them at 130 something. I watched them for a while, then gradually forgot about them, only visiting to use the board, (and still nobody posts here). I took another look at them today and saw why they were one of my 'recovery stocks'. They have got a lot going for them and will be up there past 200p soon. I think I may well be back in on any dips for a long termer. AKT - bit of a let down, but may well come good in November, when the next news comes through, hopefully positive news on approvals. I admit to getting out this morning for a modest profit, but only see a retrace for now.

Good to see that the SP is holding at the 'new' level.

Hey, forgot to mention the one that we've both missed. We've been so busy posting here that we've missed the increase in SP at FLTR - UP 20p since Monday. That's more than 10% - and we didn't get it !

Hi James, Following my strategy, I'm now out of everything except CSLT, BAe and BAO, but still holding liquid funds for 'bargain buys'. Been watching BAO for a while and following the recent placing, they seem to be a good price. The funds from the placing will speed up the move to profitability. A good prospect in a safe part of Africa, if that's possible. Two more I'm looking at are NVTA and GGG. Both good prospects I think, but will know more on Monday
