So was he banned for trolling or did he flounce off with a few insults flying at people as he went?

Yes I thought we had already had the figures and that Aprils Q1 would be a better guide--------But that is another month away! Good news about "little Sukari" and a dividend would cheer me up a bit.

Gold is probably averaging around $2050 the last few months and any increase is nice, but I'd be fairly happy if we could stay above $2100. That price and lower AISC should give us a dividend and the share price a decent boost.

I don't think the market confidence has been restored in Centamin yet.

What do we reckon for the final results next week? A "Steady as she goes +" or better? I cannot see them having mined much more than predicted (but you never know) . Maybe the AISC are a bit better than predicted?

The recent rise in gold the last few months should help and maybe (fingers crossed) a bit of a bonus dividend.

I'm hoping that gold can hold these levels and that would enable us to get a decent dividend later in the year and also get the cash reserves up a bit and move forward with other projects.

Starting on one of the parcels of land they got in the auctions would make sense-------even though it would still mean they are a bit of a one trick pony.

I'm still down, but i sold some at 99.5 hoping to get them back at 97.5 --------so thank me for any rise!

So i cannot wave my W-ly about like some do on here!

Steve makes me smile.

Has anyone seen the Steve Coogan film "Greed"? I'm sure there is a line in there that goes "He's a self made man and he worships his creator every day"

Hopefully things will improve and the house will get built.

I know you wanted to put some of your previous dividends into tharisa as you though they were doing well. The share price has halved? since then?

I'm still out of pocket with Centamin and hoping that things start to improve soon. Centamin seems to be in a better place than a few years back and maybe even in real terms better than we were before that. Ie when the high grading was going on. There is still a lack of trust after the past and a couple of good figures are needed to bring some of that trust back.

I keep hoping that the dividend will be a good one-------------and an honest one, if you get my drift?

Have a good weekend.

Sotolo-----But I hope that they still mine more ounces :-) That and a high price of gold should help the dividend and the share price.

Mind you, a decent dividend (if we ever get one again) should help the share price.

We are due the final results in a fortnight, so the higher gold price should help there. Also it should help with Q1 results, of which we are half way there already.

What do you reckon the dividend will be and will you build your house?

$2064 now---What just happened?

The share price isn't doing a lot at the moment but with gold having been over $2000 for most of the last couple of months it should help profits and maybe even the dividend! (we hope)

I pop over now and again to have a look at his comments, "pathetic, market manipulation, volume etc" but I've not seen him on whenever I've looked the last few months.

Is he still on or has he had a name change?

Cowichan should have a look at the "Pathfinder"scheme. Home owners in poorer areas were compulsory purchased at a knock down price to enable developers to make a profit. The name may have changed but it still goes on in poorer areas that they want to "gentrify"

So --will they be decent or not? I'm guessing it will be a "Steady as she goes +" . The gold price having been above what they were working on should have helped a bit.

With the waste contract coming to an end,I would hope the figures in the next quarter (June) should be much more encouraging. It has been a long wait since the news about the wall and how things were mismanaged came out and I think we really need to start to see an improvement in the figures, the share price and the dividends.

So what does Andrew Maguire have to say about it Mr T?

We had all the talk about Basel 3 and Kinesis making a difference, but you feel nothing has changed?

While this share price isn't doing much positive at the moment, I feel we are in better shape than we were any time since before the wall and Josef and his mates doing one. We have to hope that it translates into a rising share price and decent dividends.

I'm hoping for something better than that. Didn't they base things on a gold price around about $1930?

Seeing the share price drop a bit this morning (again!) hurts a bit.

I know they have said about not paying as much , percentage wise, in dividends, but we could do with something, especially as the share price seems to be struggling to even get to a quid and hold.

Maybe a little special dividend as a thank you to the LTH and to celebrate the waste removal coming to an end?

We always seem to be waiting on the next quarter or the next RNS --------and I'm hoping the next one will be a bit better than "Steady as she goes" and the share price will start to move upwards.

Gold just spiked to $2051 ----Has there been some news?

A rough check and we are about where we were 2 months ago when the POG was similar. BUT---I feel happier now that we have had the Q4 results.

I don't really understand all the stuff in the RNS------but if I am reading it right, for the year the average price pf the gold sold was $1948 and the average AISC was $1220. So that was $728 profit per ounce?

If that is correct, how does that work out after profit share--------and what would the expected dividends be?

I think the "steady as she goes" approach is showing in the predicted 50/50 H1 and H2 ounces mined for the coming year. A more balanced approach gives a bit more confidence than always having to play "catch up" in H2.

Fingers crossed.

I hope that at least have reached the lower level of guidance. If they haven't then that looks bad.

If they have at least reached it, I think with the recent higher gold price it will have helped profits a bit. I'd settle for a "Steady as she goes +"

I don't thin kHorgan is the type to shout from the rooftops and over promise --------but the last lot did that and it did not end well for a lot of investors. If Horgan keeps it steadily improving, then eventually the market will take it into consideration--------------but then again, they tend to like a bit of trouble to shift the price and takes their trading fees.

It will be interesting to hear what the mining experts on the board make of this.

Also I'm hoping for some more good news with the results next week and hope this isn't something to deflect that they will not be that good.

If they have at least met the lower end of guidance regarding Oz/s mined, then the recent higher gold prices should help a bit as well.

"Amen" to that last bit Mr T.

A bit of good news, cheer and all that would lift our spirits a bit------------Along with the share price and dividend.

Ps----for comparison

Hoc had similar bad news to what Centamin had and fell in a similar manner. They have recovered a bit from a lower level.

I don't know why, but THS have fallen a lot in the last 18 months as well.
