Having missed the metals' share price action in the second half of the day, it's given me some food for thought on the emotional and psychological side of investing—that we're all susceptible to, but must keep working on.

At times, we can all get caught up in the buzz of this new precious metals rally... it's a great feeling.

We're often told to live in the present for a peaceful life—most psychologists would guide you back to the here and now if you're struggling with any form of distress.

That said, when it comes to our investments, we're always forward-looking. We expect growth, so the path "should" always be up and when things in the present aren't heading that way, it can feel like the future will fail too.

Without diving too deep, our collective human wiring creates vulnerabilities that some exploit—we call it "manipulation."

When I look at my position in OMI, I'm taking this all into account. I enjoy the buzz of the daily action and often get swept up in gold or silver rallies (especially lately), but ultimately, these short-term moves won't affect my long-term plan for OMI.

I'll hold until my targets are hit—whether that's in 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, or 5 years. It matters not.

Stepping away from the screen and reflecting on some of the comments across the board, I can see this exact scenario in play. It's Friday, January 30, 2026. I don't expect my targets to be met today or tomorrow... but within those timeframes above?... Absolutely.

And that gives me a lot of peace.

From one investor to another, we are going to have even more ups and downs along the way, so I hope this post gives you food for thought and identifies some of the battles we all face—no matter how long you've been investing, we're all human.

Don't get fooled by the MM games... They opened it up higher than close yesterday to make a few %.

They will drop it on low volume to shake a few loose hands.

Lots of the red and grey trades are buys - Some are mine.

MM's playbook 101.

PEPAs Deposit will fund the remaining projects... Won't find another exploration company like it 👌

Agree with that post @Blondee

2000s Era could be on whereby many were tricked into buying 'Digital Gold' aka BTC... Only to have the main players buying up the real deal. A fools gold scenario.

Falls in-lign with the MSM telling everyone gold will only go up a few % knowing fine well... a re-rate is in the cards. To atleast impead the masses.

Worked out well for the 'NFT's'... Non-Fungible Tokens??... And it's unlikely old money would let new money have control anyway.

Although BTC looks like it will have a small place in the world finances. You won't find any hackers being able to steal your physical gold, especially those sweating behind a computer screen in their mums basement.

No tin foil hat here. Mine's a hat made of pure gold. Has the same Faraday cage effect.

Pepas MRE inbound... ⛏️💰🪙

Many theories about gold in relation to its true value...

What can't be ignored is the fact that throughout history, it's been the longest running and most common medium of exchange... up until someone (USA) fiddled with it under the guise of liquidity but essentially boosted their own corporate greed and control system.

It's not all been bad. Without the de-couling of the dollar (from gold in the 1970s), civilisation may not have been able to advance as quick as it did, due to the additional liquidity such a system has provided... but now, as that system becomes less of an instrument of liquidity and more of an instrument of control, the whole world is getting tired of the waste, abuse, fraud and those who think that they have some moral high ground above the rest.

In the view that gold will return to it's fair value... how much do you think OMI will be worth in 6 months time, 12 months time, or 5 years time?... I'm betting it's a far lot more than 150M Mcap.

Zoom out from the hourly/daily and see the bigger picture over the weekly/monthly/yearly, the longer term view is very, very satisfying, and easily puts any short term nerves at bay.

One point worth reiterating with all gold exploration shares is something that Brad touched on last July:

The fact that there are about 2,500 exploration companies out there and only the top 10% (250) will actually be worth looking into. The rise in the gold price may change this ratio slightly, but the most attractive projects will become a lot more lucrative. OMI is in the top 1% IMO...

I see many projects out there feeling the 'gold buzz'... but I feel that many holders of these 'dust stocks' will be disappointed when results come in after the bull run pump—specifically because the rise in the gold price doesn't change what's in the ground. You either have it or you don't. There will be just as many disappointments this year (if not more, due to the buzz) as there were in years past.

By the time you realise your mistake, you may get the feeling that you have missed out.

At 40p (160M Mcap) - This is still the start of OMI journey. We're on the very edge of PEPAs MRE whereby serious money has the pre-req to enter... on top of this transformational news, we have 5+ additional projects that have the potential to dwarf our current Mcap.

Back your winners - As the saying goes.

It will sound like repetition to many LTH on here, but it's always worth remembering what you're buying into with OMI (on the cusp of news).

OMI (Orosur Mining) current Mcap is roughly what Pepas deposit will return, in a single year (for 10 years), at an estimated 300k Oz Au / 4.2g/t resource - and due to the nature of extraction (from surface and not underground), it should come into production around the same time as Haverion (GGP 2027). Great for early cash flow...

Now move onto some of OMI holders favourite next discovery - Pepas North.

If this is anything like we expect, we should have atleast a 3x Pepas resource as a minimum in this zone. But let's round it to 1M Oz Au for easy counting... 3x Mcap (3 Bags)

El Pantano - 2.5 - 5M (Low end speculation) (5-10 bags)

Apta - 2M Oz resource (5 bags)

El Cedro - 2M Oz resource (5 bags)

La Virgincita 1-3M Oz resource (3-6 bags)

These are basic speculated resource estimates (Bags rounded down) and in ground value doesn't always have the same % extraction efficiency.

The risk is that you see Pepas into production alone and still 5-10x your initial investment over 10 years.

The reward here is HUGE because the Potential is HUGE, and as each drill punches it's way into the ground - the confirmation comes true.

All this for £146M Mcap... on our next discovery confirmation, I'd be expecting 2x or 3x current Mcap. 300M-400M. Which is still spare change to any predatory Majors looking for their next M&A target.

Very high level post, but the deeper you dig... the more positive you become IMO.

I have both in my portfolio, both companies have distinct strengths and characteristics — whether in terms of jurisdiction, gold grade, mining method (underground vs. open-pit), or other fundamentals.

While I agree that OMI is not directly comparable to GGP in many respects, the current macro environment — especially in a scenario with gold at $5,000/oz and silver at $100/oz — changes the picture dramatically.

In this kind of bullish metals market, I expect the strategic moves OMI makes this year to significantly outperform those of GGP... perhaps similar to those seen in 2020 (covid era).

I can't see GGP delivering a 10x return from current levels.

However, that kind of upside (10-bagging or more) remains realistically within OMI's potential under the right conditions.

400... Yes, I'd agree with remaining assays at same time due to the reception of the first.

Optimistic that these DD point us in the right direction for the RC drilling where things could get very interesting.

If there are no results by the end of January, I'd expect an explanation. Until then... it's sit on hands and wait.

MILA will get a lot more interesting when we know what the RC drilling (Febuary/March) will be targeting, guided by our current DD.

Assays aren't late... they have up until end of January to release them (before stating otherwise) That's 7 more buisness/trading days.

Patience required.

0571408... All depends on the JV structure. Ball would be in OMI's court, and OMI may have multiple interested parties strengthening their side (during a gold bull run). Majors are flash with cash and good exploration projects are few and far between.

Either way, El Pantano is yet to be priced in to this Mcap. So any deal would be exceptional for the share price currently and with a free carried structure, once resource definition is refined... we are talking bags into the SP.

Ontop of this... many here will be in disbelief should a strike from Pepas North come true...

This is just the start 📈 of the begining...

OMI is a small cap ready to multi-bag on any one of it's multiple lucrative projects, at the start of a great bull run on gold (and silver re-rate).

If Pepas = 1 Bag (£120M mcap / ~10% of in-ground value)

APTA (2-4 Bags)

Pepas North/Feeder (3 Bags)

El Pantano (5-10 Bags)

El Cedro (3-5 Bags)

La Virgincita (...?)

(Extremely conservative speculated base bags, bags could be double, maybe even treble...)

Gold Exploration - Many explorer's will have projects from years past that will just have been collecting dust, for good reason (they're not and probably never will be economical to extract).

OMI has Projects from greenfield through to MRE, with our Pepas looking like we could probably just take a wheel barrow to the bank (Very lucrative gold deposits).

If you think you're too late... save this post for 6-12 months time and tell me the same thing.

TSX dropped 10% Tuesday Night (UK time), only for LSE to then go onto 5%+ Wednesday day. Canada had it's pants pulled down... and it's yet to pull then back up.

Play silly games, get silly prizes. They know not more than us.

Away from any bickering that these forums often get clogged up with, try to keep a clear view of what the potential prize(s) will be here with OMI.

Pepas (MRE)...

Pepas II / III / IV / V...?

Pepas' feeder zone...?

APTA (MRE)

El Cedro

La Virgencita

El Pantano (Gold and Silver)

Roughly £15M to go poking holes in each one of these projects during a gold and silver boom.

Show me another company at a £100M market cap with so much potential...

Even on the very rock-bottom basis of hitting next to nothing elsewhere, Pepas' cash generator will return your investment multiple times over. I'm happy to sit on my hands here as an investment case — which is very rare for an AIM gold explorer — and I fully expect games of proportions not seen in the industry due to this exact potential. The only caveat is that Louis' phone will most likely be inundated with offers from multiple avenues, so whatever games they play with us (retail), they better watch out for the next hungry institutional buyer. OMI will be a most-wanted target.

The story has just started here with OMI in 2026.

Sein, yes... I'm aware you don't like a ramp, but equally, you fail to see the potential with your rhetoric – and, in fact, it comes across as more discouraging to any newcomers. You had the same outlook at 10p when I arrived, yet we're up nearly 130% since then... that should at least tell you that the more optimistic posts perhaps carry more weight/value than you’re willing to give them credit for.

Shares go through many stages, and it's rare for those who find them at the start to stay until the end, but that certainly doesn't mean that newcomers provide no value – especially when you consider that larger market caps attract more affluent and knowledgable investors.

As for WSBN, I have a history there too... I actually made some good money. All was going so well until, somehow, they failed to release any results... that tells you all you need to know. Sub-surface (underground) mines require very high grade, and I don't see them keeping these results from the public eye unless they have somthing to hide or are living off the fumes of the hype that once was... but yes, let's see. I won't be re-investing there – not only because of the lack of results, but more so because of the clowns running it.

The only credit I'll give you is your company comparisons, for these do provide good information and are a useful tool.

It was better late than never Nap, however had I taken Eziks cross in November 2024, I'd have made a substantial lot more... Still, there is a lot more to come with OMI.

I'm all up for balanced views but preffer these to come out as the share price is going up - keeping us in check. The amount of 'balanced views' or 'de-ramps' that come out on red days or just before a breakout is childsplay, and in-turn, creates the playground.

Sein, everyone loves a good ramp, don't be such a bore.

Nap was here sub 10p, I know this because his cross ramp was why I took an interest here.

Surprised you keep referring to WSBN, as their 'nearity' / 'location' next to haverion is the only reason there is some resemblance of potential find. Not because of grades and certainly not because of management.

But seeing as you have referenced them, let's use Unico Silver right next door to El Pantano - has 162m millions Oz of high grade silver... I'm sure you'll get our 500m Mcap from there (plus change).

OMI this year has the potential to be talking point of 2026 in the gold/silver exploration and mining industry.

GGP move over and prepare to live in the shadows.

This may be considered a complete ramp... but reffer back to this message once again in October 2026 where ill be auctioning off my crystal ball (at a premium).

Now that's the kind of ramp that would require a toning down... I've been waiting patiently for such optimism on here but felt the need to balance the 'balanced views' with the speculation that's apparently been here.

Dr Rem, I agree, we share the same thoughts regarding Pepas North. I do believe Pepas to be a small chunk off a much bigger deposit, this was my original thought process prior to buying by first lot of shares here last year, however has since been confirmed as the same theory by BG/LC...

Although the last 3 holes in Pepas North were a little underwhelming, the amount of data collected since, including the new technical concept of the geology, should provide a much clearer location for this potential motherload.

If/when that is found/confirmed, there is no denying which way this will send the share price.

Exactly Dr. Rem. - Some posters here seem to think this is a negative / de-ramp... which shows how much they know regarding this issue.

Fortunately, all we (and USA) have to do it wait... Petros time is running out.
