Have they run out of blue ink? Irritating and misleading the way share trades are misrecorded. Anyone know why? Expecting an RNS this week...

We are expecting news that we have a fully operational and profitable plant on our hands and that the ramping up process is well under way and on target. It takes time and the June forecasts were based on a 12 month ramping up process to get to optimum single plant production level Remember we are expecting combined Pt and Au grade of 300mg/m3 for processed material based on an assessment of historic third-party mining operations and drilling data; Meanwhile the price of gold and platinum have held steady Once the positive results are confirmed, and it should be any day now, the only way is up as we roll out more plants and it will seem foolish to have sold out at this current price.

I hope we get a positive RNS soon to stem this steady flow as we dont want folk to lose interest in BZT

Thanks Lejjb. I will try to follow your advice and plan ahead. (but not too far )

Well I thought I detected an element of chicken counting and that makes me nervous being a bit superstitious about these things. Nobody would me more delighted than me for you to be right

With apologies to Robbie Burns "Foresight may be vain The best laid plans of mice and men Leave us nought but grief and pain" And don't forget a long term investment is a short term investment that went wrong. Despite these qualifications I think Bezant is good for some time yet and I will not be cashing in just yet awhile...

Would be great if we could get the BOD's view of Manakayans prospects given all this positive news from Cimatu and co.Randy. No harm in keeping us informed even if it one of Ed's exploring all possibilities type of report. I am sure they are looking very keenly at events and must be discussing how to proceed . Phillipino politics is pretty volatile and I would be inclined to sell out and concentrate on South America.

Key points 1. We are awaiting results from the deeper virgin gravels in original licence area which are ..imminent and will confirm viability of initial project. 2. Also awaiting results of scoping study in new adjacent licence area HGE 082. Good results will confirm feasibility of expansion plans. Expected soon. 3.Hoping for news of reversal of mining bans on Mankayan project which is not necessarily imminent but a lot of hopeful reports suggest grounds for optimism, Serious progress on at least 2 of these will probably boost the Sp significantly . If and when we get positive news on all three we will have a humdinger on our hands.

The BOD usually update us every 3 or 4 weeks so I would hope to hear some news of the deeper digging by end of next week.

Would be good to know what is the level of overhang from Beaufort and the placing recipients .. Today's RNS was not exactly an information blitz from Ed so no real upward pressure . He sometimes seems like a friendly old uncle who pops his head over the parapet to say Hi every now an then. Lets hope next time he drops by he will give us something for punters to sink their teeth into.

i presume this Beaufort cashing in their commission.?

again the buys are being recorded as sells. Hopefully we shall be back up at 1.30 in a day or so and return to our march back up to 2p and beyond.. but this time with a little more cash in the kitty

in without password this time!

I was under Bezant Do not have password for BZT

Hi Quinny on chat.... waiting to talk to you ...... Have bought a few today once I got over my annoyance. Placings are probably good buying opportunities The next RNS should put us back on track and I think we will be back at 2p in a few weeks.

I am around later today about 4 pm for a "discussion" . This is unwelcome and disappointing to see Beaufort involved again. A rather bland statement form Ed . Just when we were expecting some encouraging production news we get another dilution . It would probably be a good time to tuck away a few more shares but i understand your distaste.

when the financial model for the Choco plant were set out last June the two key price points then were Pt at $965 (currently $920) and Au at $1175 (currently at $1275) so we are down 4% on Pt and up 8% on gold . So not really fair to call the current prices subdued.

is 30% of the mix and this is still around $1270 so we are still making a good turn if we keep costs at $780 per oz.

Yes let's hope the next RNS reveals the news we are waiting for about the virgin untapped gravels. MMs are not going to get rich on today's level of volume. I guess the accounts just confirmed what we already knew hence no reaction..

He is pointing out that we have now arrived at the target depth below silt and tailings from previous mining. This is where the real money lies in the virgin untouched gravel above the bedrock. We know the higher grade material is here from scoping tests. So a great time to jump on board. Quite intriguing that he is referencing previous mining activity via the tax records as well as the geology. My experience of Latin America in the 70,s was that tax was an option and best avoided . Hence only a fraction was declared so we could be in for a pleasant surprise.
