Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Silver, not sure about that given where my investment stands at the moment - fortunately on a free ride or should I say free fall at the moment!!
I will have a look at, but hasten to add, I've never put an actual predictive value on Sareum purely for the reasoning of not being defined a ramper.
My main concern at this moment in time is not the past as I/We can't change that, the present will give transparency once the BoD update us, the future is then a discussion point - appreciate there are angry/frustrated and there say gobsmacked people on this bb at present, myself included somewhere in there, but, there are also some logical discussions being lost in the general mayhem.
Hoping between now an interim results, we get a clear pathway on the way forward in a positive trend!!

An interesting post, many thanks for your thoughts i hope it doesn't get lost in tonight's "venting"!
Out of curiosity have you attended recent AGM's, trust you don't mind me asking?
Once again, much appreciated content.
GLA
Thanks for sharing, likewise, I've been speaking with some fellow attendees of the AGM (respecting their privacy, I won't name) and was getting that indication.
Hopefully, the BoD are close to resolving and perhaps that'swhy in the RNS the interim results announcement were noted as w/c 25th, rather than a specific date, so perhaps as has been suggested on the bb a targeted timeline!
Again, these results need to have comprehensive detail similar to JR's statement yesterday and not the ambiguity of the RNS of the 12th - so whoever, writes, authorises etc.. lets get it right please!!
Oh and yes, spot on with "person " analogy.
To one and all genuine Sareum shareholders, enjoy your weekend!
@ Andy. let me know if you are still up for a meet next week as I will back down in Cornwall, next weekend for Easter - no probs if you leave until after.
GLA
Hi gekgo, yes I've visited and acknowledge it's presence - I also balance that in attending AGM's and Sareum's "lean business model" of outsourcing - hopefully, not being "Trump Towers" doesn't mean they can't be a success!!
GLA
Leave with me Andy, it's not all skips, burnt out cars etc.. round here matey - I've a PA called Polly she will sort!!
Tuesday or Thursday best for me, let me know what suits and obviously anybody else in the vicinity who wishes to come along - feel like I've just set up a Dating Agency, any HNWI's out there??
GLA
Damion, a little naughty as we know like statistics, video clips can give a completely different view point in isolation.
Dare I say (as per the monotone questioner in the video, which was Moi) John Reader emphasised that the real value came with Phase 1b and that was the target and I'm sure that was recorded as well as the question of translation came up - in the words of Michael McIntyre "Send to All"
And yes a lot has changed in the last 15 months, we have completed SAD, Food and continuing MAD in Phase1a awaiting analysis of data!
As an aside, I will put on record post AGM, I was privy to a conversation of John Reader and our own RMM, where JR vented to the frustrations of MHRA and the intention to get into trials whether in this country and/or elsewhere with the aim of Phase 1b, in fact, the RNS regarding the RF deal alludes to such aim.
I get we are all frustrated, none more so than me, but, we need facts and not people playing with whims - the last 24 hours have shown me the people I trust.
@ Billy- Bunter sorry we haven't met at the AGM given your earlier posting.
GLA
Just to note, as an attendee at the AGM I think the demeanour of the BoD was down to the opening statement and proposals therein by Mr. Johnnie Smith who had flown in from Spain, that along with fact that SRA737 as a deal was in the latter stages of conclusion (given Festive Break) and they could not say anything.
Moving to where we are today there is a lot that needs clarifying in terms of events, actions and proposals and I trust as I have repeatedly asked, that the BoD THROUGH THE CEO comes clean and not "Didn't think we needed to say anything".
That in itself will explain the situation we are in and why, thus allowing the market to determine our potential going forward, rather than unnecessary arguing over assumptions rather than facts - for example "....has taken steps to preserve its immediate capital utilisation." - what steps, I believe I know but it is only an assumption - TM could make it a fact and if as my assumption would clear a lot of angst on this bb perhaps - transparency to the Shareholder, I believe as quoted at the AGM.
I trust the NED has not fallen into a comatose state and as per the role is looking after Shareholders interest including the approaches by others waving "gifts".
So if an offer is made then that would fall in line with the proposal Johnnie made in his statement at the AGM mentioned above as surely it would need to be declared, that would hopefully attract bids by others and then subsequently voted on by us Shareholders!
For the record, as stated in my proposal at this stage I'm not looking for any changes - just the transparency I keep hearing at AGM's will actually happen so we know what actually is going on.
@Andy, I'm 30 mins down the road from Pampisford, happy to meet you there, believe the skip may still be there!!
GLA
Thanks for all the responses and other threads from my posting last night - what it does show is the strong collective of shareholders we have on this bb and those who attend the AGM and cannot/do not write on this bb.
I think it is fair to say the BoD are aware of the feelings and the IR responses to Big Timer & Mafuta imo confirm that.
@Andy thanks for your post, I was hoping you would step up with a point of view and yes do remember potential call for EGM.
@ David7015 a sound proposal and to all others thanks for responses.
To me there is a timeline from today to the publication of interim results w/c 25th March where you would expect some detailed update and proposals/resolution and the pathway forward.
As I said in my previous post responding to potnak, I just want the BoD to do their job in a diligent and competent manner and will sit out the timeline above - also by way of a reminder Dr. Owen as NED should be ensuring that the BoD are acting in the best interests of the Shareholders.
I'm off out now for lunch with the Missus, hopefully, I'ill come back to some positive vibes!
GLA
What I said at the outset Potnak, the mind set of RF to drive a Company into oblivion doesn't imo stack up as a business proposition if all they're left with are a load of worthless shares - not sure their demise if they do destroy Sareum can be deemed a "silver lining".
Yes agree, leave the BoD to do their job, my understanding of that being to create Shareholder value through progression of drug development in a diligent manner, precise and transparent communique to the markets and competency in the financial administration of the Company - just hope we don't have to leave it too long for that to be achieved!
Snoop and SOG, many thanks and yes salary deferral as mentioned and wouldn't be surprised if they haven't already in "capital utilisation".
Appears to be a protester in the bb posting, but moving on, I'm just wanting a successful Sareum for All.
GLA
Thanks Jinky and Rayboy - the RNS issued yesterday I don't believe is what Sareum are about, yes the finances are grave but I don't think unsolvable.
A simple consortium of pi's pledges between £300k or £2m as a group and becomes a voice within the current status quo, together, the "dream" continues for all!
To make it clear, I'm not looking for any BoD change in my proposal.
Obviously. lots of ifs and buts and for those that £1000 is too much team up and buy a collective "£1000" option.
Plenty of i's and t's to cross, but just imagine walking into Peel Hunt at 100 Broadgate and saying we would like to have a chat!
Yes I may be mad, but, I am a fighter and believe it can be done and when I look at people's declared positions a £1000 roll is worth final punt!
GLA
Some food for thought!
With the numbers being talked on here, how many people would be prepared to commit multiples of £1000 funding for the sole use of pursuing SDC-1801 ( How it's regulated etc.. I will leave to the experts) - 300 nominees raises the immediate Phase 1a completion funding - 2000 nominees gets Phase 1B funded with no RF and/or other "Sharkmeister" and if successful a completely new ball regarding sp.
getting involved,
In return BoD defer salary increases for the year and a share option is given to each £1000 nominee payment similar fashion to the HNWI agreements - and a pi shareholder representative (non voting) sits on the BoD.
I'm sure I will be shot down in flames, but, I thought I'd put it out there, in business which let's face is where we are, it's about how you resolve not wallow on what you can't change.
@ Snoop and Potnak, obviously Primary Bid is a route as is Retail Book ( Rex Platform) but as you state there is an "overhead fees" situation!
@ Lazurus and Andy spot on with comments!
GLA
GLA
HBD, I was really disappointed with how today's RNS was presented, not sure who composes, provides content and/or confirms wording given the make up of Sareum and BoD, NED's, Brokers etc... but, hope we can improve.
Re reading the RNS, I think the detail will be in the interim results and any news on further funding which suggests a move away from RF, which in itself would be a blessing in my opinion.
Not a lot we can do, as you say it's been a long journey to get into Clinical trials and we are nearly at the next level, yes there's been set backs - but we cant change that, let's get there!!
GLA
Well someone has just taken a prime cut of my "meat on the bone" analogy.
@ David7015, I think the abrupt time limit imposed on the length of the AGM meant RF conveniently didn't get discussed!
Others have raised so interesting view points, personally, I would like to see a further statement from the BoD - STATING A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON, WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND HOW THEY INTEND RAISE FINANCE AND PROGRESS SAREUM.
As a shareholder of 14 years and an attendee of 5 AGM's, I will still hold but have to say to the BoD I'm not best pleased with the flippancy of today's RNS to both Shareholders and the market.
GLA
And a pleasurable read, thanks to all and good to see C79 back in the mix!!
By the way, usual MM shenanigans late this afternoon - the 2 number 28k trades were not both sells but in fact a Bed & ISA by the missus!
Enjoy the weekend as we hopefully "bound" on to some good news - fingers crossed!
