That's not actually correct Rodney. The vote that determined parliament was the first round where he got 43% of the vote and 66 seats out of 151. His was the second biggest party behind RC who got 67. Subsequently someone joined his party taking them to 67, and RC went to 64. He has achieved a working majority by doing deals with parties with one seats and some others.

This next one is interesting. I can only assume we havent paid it.

NNM its also contradictory what he is saying, The variability of the royalty is a protection against lower metal rates. If the price of metal falls the rate of the royalty will go down as well. What's interesting is that Gold is miles above the maximum royalty so not sure how that works.

Buffet the PFS uses a copper rate far below spot. The price of copper would have to go down a long way before it would be a problem.

Watch the 656 jack 20k in the next 2 days.

Heya Rodney I agree its more than possible that the Short had closed (Im checking daily as it happens of research tree). But given they didnt RNS the short being opened im dubious that they will RNS it being closed.

Jackanory ill buy an amout of shares in the 20k range with the quantity ending in 656 in the next couple of days.

Im a Catholic DBW so thats pushing it. Can I do 656?

Jack. Ill buy 20k pounds ish of shares in the next couple of days. Give me the last three figures of shares I should include to show its me and I will. Ive got a far bigger holding than your fantasy one as an aside.

I hope you are correct.

I get it but i just dont see how they can announce anything meaningful until the courts rule on the legality of the tax/fee. Absolutely no criticism of management on this one it came out of the blue.

Rodney the only realistic news soon is re TAM and maybe some sort of funding (I would agree thats most likely to be a copper stream as an aside) cant see exploreco anytime soon. Would be very happy to be wrong mind.

Jack you havent hit anything other than my funny bone. I sit here and feel pity for you. You say I dont own shares. Someone said not so long ago to say an odd number of shares to prove their buy. Ill be buying some in the next few days as I think this is a good company. Give me a number of shares - three digits and ill show you ive got shares.

The difference between you ane me is ive made a significant investment based on research. You have seemingly gone all in based on waking up with a hard on.

Jack I just love how you sit here all day and spout absolute nonsense. Like literally you are stupid.

The village (santa Cecillia) isnt on top of Alpala - its on the site of TAM.

You are without a doubt the most pathetic, stupid & bonkers person ive come across. You add exactly nothing to this forum other than your wet dreams.

Sorry whilst the article is from today ive just noticed it refers to a legal case from years ago!!! God knows why they published it today.

I think this is Solgold.

Buffet the government take is fully accounted for in the PFS and the NPV. You are talking absolute nonsense.

Buffet they get no equity at all.

Rodney of interest to you from the Red Cloud report would prob be this.

Sensitivity

Our NAV is most sensitive to the copper price and CAD:USD exchange rate. SolGold’s NAV is most sensitive to Cu prices, given Cu is the primary metal. We would note that at current prices of ~$5.00/lb Cu and $3,000/oz Au, our NAV increases by >50% (our model is based on $4.00/lb Cu and $2,500/oz Au). The FX rate also strongly impacts our NAV. A 10% strengthening of USD against CAD could potentially drive our NAV by >10% (we use a base case exchange rate of 0.72). The sensitivity of our NAV estimate to copper/gold prices and the CAD:USD exchange rate is shown in Figures 14 and 15.

Well firstly I'm from near Wigan (so a different county) and I'm most certainly not a tranny - it wouldn't really work in Abu Dhabi being one of them. It certainly wont work in KSA where I will be moving in a couple of weeks.

Might be better called an opinion piece to be fair. Found it interesting non the less.
