Excuses, Jim, excuses - RL brims with them, to the extent he has lost commercial credibility with all save for a few.

Sshhh...don't tempt fate.

With the president's inauguration, yesterday, let's be optimistic with when our paperwork will be finalised - at least another two months.

A typically vague response from the exemplar communicator in the form of Russell Lamming.

If I descended into a chasm of pessimism in which our beloved Fira dwells, I would imagine Boris and his esteemed, compassionate, intellectual cabinet fit for governing this country.

In all seriousness, however, I personally feel that the major client will prolong the litigation process for as long as it it procedurally possible, without compensating us one cent,

Still reckon no financial compensation - forget it, peeps.

As for the latest instalment, SML released a payment schedule, last year; the company therefore need not waste money on a needless RNS stating it has paid it - by contrast, we would be informed if it were delayed.

Perhaps it might be less disappointing to factor in only an arbitration win - but without receiving any financial recompense.

I have always maintained that we will probably win the arbitration - but without extracting from the major client any of the awarded financial compensation.

Seems like another false dawn - until Russell awakes from his slumber, this company remains on life-support.

Wish I could be more optimistic; but after all the rhetoric about expecting a positive, abundant newsflow on our manganese, in Togo, in this year, which has yielded nowt save for a decking share-price, I remain sceptical of how Keras is managed - look at its litany of false dawns. Happy to be proved wrong.

Tarry, PMSL.

Wish this were getting as serious as that one...

Decision will more than likely be before mid-May - a fortuitous timing, indeed: many countries may well have started implementing their lockdown-exit strategies - increasing investment confidence.

It would be most intriguing to see Russell Lamming scrutinised in a Crux interview.

A Crux interview, er, gets to the crux of the matter - it's one of the very few which objectively interview CEOs of companies, thereby removing that almost-overt obsequious format that pervades other media outlets that supposedly 'interrogate' the leaders in whose companies we invest.

Indeed, Jim, it’s meant to have been already signed off - but is it or is it not? Come on, Russell, be clear.

A quietly confident RNS, stating that SML continues to generate profit - no mean feat in this extraordinary time- and it seems the next Redmoor payment will be honoured, with the final payment to be rescheduled to a later date than the one originally pencilled in.

Russell has recently raised money for buying additional equipment to increase mining-output of our manganese; yet that now-comical mining-licence approval festers like a chronic illness; what is his strategy - or is he planning it on the back of a fag-packet?

Communication, Russell, communication: transparency would salve the pain that swells the lack of confidence in your ability to deliver a fully operational, commercialised project.

Anyone else get the feeling that it could yet be delayed into next year?

I’ll raise you another 100.
