Looks like another 3 significant Buys of 32,273 shares all given the Red signal. Not much news now for a few weeks perhaps and the mm's seem to want 'doom and gloom' to pervade.

Thanks for that info. - one could easily see your trade as a Sell as it appears the spread then was 6.2 - 6.49. Sure you haven't sold by mistake?! It's crazy how trades get disguised. On another share the mm's seem to put a lot of the Buys through a bit covertly on ISDX.

I asked Linda 2 specific questions : whether we might yet get Chinese DFS sign-off even though we've 'given up' and whether a Chinese company could still invest in Chaarat without sign-off. She emailed the following reply : "As Dekel said we are not pursuing the Chinese regulatory second “layer” sign off. This is beyond the sign off that would be given to a Western style study. I am sure you do not expect me to speculate on whether the Chinese will sign off without further pressure from us. Again as Dekel says after about 6 minutes(in the video), the results of the FS are known in the Chinese market and therefore by extension are known to potential purchasers of the project. We have established a reliable benchmark. Any buyer will apply their own assumptions to this foundation." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the Chinese Authorities might still find a pen. Secondly, more importantly, she intimates that Chinese companies are well aware of Chaarat and she doesn't see any Govt. red tape standing in anyone's way. That's the way I interpret her reply anyway. To me Dekel and her had their fill of waiting for this sign-off and weren't prepared to keep flying over there for more and more consultations with non-mining authorities. God knows what was the hold-up - brown envelopes? Quite possibly the Chinese Authorities just being a total pain and working at a snail's pace, or feeling that some chosen Chinese company would benefit from all this procrastination. Anyway, we are where we are. We have a greatly optimised project that is not going to go ahead without funding and in the short-term (18 months?) we will develop our own mini start-up after an unnamed engineering company finalises a plan. Going to need funds just for that IMO so expect some dilution for that. It's all a bit gloomy which is a shame after such a great optimisation. Timecales ? What funds needed? Ground breaking JV/Offer ?

Business really starting to pick up, dare I say, take off.

Having replayed the interview a few times, can't complain about Dekel's explanations and honesty. The main thing about the lack of rubber stamp from the Chinese authorities (well above Nerin) to my mind is : can a Chinese company still invest? Would such an investment, which is certainly where we were looking, now get blocked? I have asked Linda on this point but seems to me Dekel is not very forthcoming about this mainly I suppose through the need to keep any interest confidential. ------------------- Banksie - you make a lot of valid points but don't think anyone like Labro is listening nor with only 29% can they just make things happen.

Glad someone else has seen it. Been taking notes and near the end he says we've instructed an Eng co to devise the starter project with Min Capex, a quick route to production and don't hinder the main project's future development. No timescales yet and do we need funding - I reckon we will. He's obviously got so much skin in this baby that he isn't going to sell it on the cheap which surely is very reassuring. It'll take time, as you say, but the truth is out there - I mean the Benchmark has been achieved for all would-be suitors in the industry to see. We are back to waiting with not long I'd say to get the new plan worked out and then funding for small-scale production in .....2017?? Meanwhile, looks like the sp will be stuck at these levels (or lower??) but then again one day someone might just come knocking on our door. When that happens I intend to be still in this stock. Barring Krygyz political problems, inability to get funding(market improving now and Pog up), or bankruptcy, there's nothing to stop us - lol.

We will allow conversion of the loan @ 6.5p and 8p into Amphion shares. Well at the moment that is just a gesture but one day it might be a good way to pay back the loan but don't suppose they'd ever do it until 'in the money'.

Linda emailed that she hoped it answered all my questions - it answers a lot. Pity Dekel is sooooo laid back, he is just not tremendously inspiring. We don't seem to be ruling anything out for the future and Dekel stressing he's a shareholder really gives strength to us not selling out low.

'We're not going to sell it for the wrong price' Dekel gives his usual deadpan interview but keen to stress no problems with NERIN, just the Chinese regulatory bodies were taking forever so decided to go without the rubber stamp. Seems to want to plod on towards mini-production (wasn't that the idea 2 years ago?) with a view to "take-over by a mid-sized producer" before or more likely after we reach producer status.

Bod did say late last year they would look to take some money out of MTFB. Thanks for answering my query on our MTFB holding but as they've only pledged 14.9m it does still give them the option of realising profit on 14m odd. Watch this space but the recovering MTFB sp now gives them the opportunity should they need it but, as you say, probably better to hold and today's RNS gives that impression too.

Sounds like good news and MTFB has welcomed backing. Does this mean we probably won't be selling any MTFB shares soon as now used as Security (i.e. are those our total holding in MTFB the 14.9m shares)?

It's crazy, hopefully we'll find out what Dekel is prepared to divulge on Friday. Reckon they must have fallen out, big time. The Chinese govt was the client for this DFS they said a few months ago. They were the ones who had to sign off they were satisfied but for some reason they wouldn't. Perhaps it was costing us money to keep discussing it, working on it and we felt we weren't going to ever get an agreement. It really leads us to believe we are not going to sell this mine or jv it to a Chinese company. Surely they'd want/need Chinese regulatory approval. So how come all the liquidity last week starting just before the bombshell RNS? Need somehow to rebuild sentiment and support here or people are going to think the worst.

Just listened again to Dekel's last interview with Stocktube on Feb 2nd. He is so laid back it's a wonder he gets up in the morning - lol. Hopefully he'll be really awake on Friday and he can talk us through some possibilities and perhaps shed some light on what has happened with our Chinese connections. It really is bizarre that after so long a wait and so much money going into the DFS that they have just said let's not bother getting it signed off. Friday - some answers please.

"According to an update released by analysts at Numis the broker has now set a ‘Buy’ rating on shares of Chaarat Gold Holdings Ltd (LON:CGH) with a price target of 30. Numis on Monday retained Chaarat Gold Holdings Ltd’s analyst rating as ‘Buy’ with its price target of 30 highlighting a potential increase of 380% from Chaarat Gold Holdings Ltd’s current price of 6.25." http://www.risersandfallers.com/2016/04/25/shares-of-chaarat-gold-holdings-ltd-loncgh-rated-as-buy-by-analysts-at-numis/ ---------------------------------------------------------- That's up from 24p to 30p !

Someone must have just been hovering over the button (not sure which one) when you posted - massive 300k just traded and previously you missed 125k on ISDX. Oh well, it was a big day last week and I found it very tiring personally trying to work out what the heck was going on. Now.....we wait....again. Hopefully Friday might fill in a lot of blanks.

A lot of useful info in these pages though not without some 'cross' references. Jarv55 - thanks for posting that email. Fastlane - luvverly images of the cake still not quite ready but at least it's not burnt. BigAl - think you're right about today's early Buy in Red.

Just 2 things : Firstly, forgot to mention I congratulated Linda and Dekel on the optimised FS and she replied "Your congratulations are much appreciated." - which sounded as if she was very proud of their work, justifiably in my book. If one looks at it this way - the Chinese have basically tried to screw us, we've now modified their work to a fantastic, advertisable project again. Secondly, an article mentioning the 'giant' of Chaarat awaiting development (search for Chaarat) : http://www.timesca.com/index.php/news/26-opinion-head/16577-gold-mining-in-kyrgyzstan-too-many-licenses-little-performance

Thanks for article but fairly poor and irrelevant reporting involved IMO. The 2 other companies we're compared with OXUS - they were in neighbouring Uzbekistan not the Krygyz and AURUM, who did in fact withdraw after big problems from the Krygyz about 5 years ago. I think the 'wild-west' of the Krygyz has improved since then with the idea of encouraging overseas investment.

I did raise these issues with Linda, so hopefully Dekel should address them : "Myself and the market seem unsure whether we have the whole picture. A lot of speculation is rife about why we are not going for full Chinese DFS sign-off and the general feeling is we've fallen out of bed with the Chinese. This has led to the assumption China Non-Ferrous are now in the process of selling their 8 % stake in Chaarat. It really does seem that the market has been left with more questions than answers and I am wondering if Dekel is thinking of doing any interviews to perhaps provide more clarity. The company who has done extensive DD on our project - are they Chinese, are they still interested? Our results are not out until June but speculation is also rife that we will soon be out of money." --------------------------------------------------------- Really look forward to Dekel putting a bit more clarity to our on-going situation next Friday. Obviously we now know First State Investments are the current Sellers. Their motives, and indeed main investors, aren't known. See our volume is down to usual levels today (as no-one knows where this is going again) with about 260k totalling both exchanges.
