"All going according to plan" is what we feel, well I do anyway:-)

This week - next week - soon we hope but it will be there, and then?

I have plans, need the Structural Engineer to approve them (and the Bank Manager) and I will be sorted. I am sitting on a Gold Mine:-)

As the board is so lively Today I would just like to add that my original purchase was back in 2007 @ a price of 42.25 !!!

Having come back to share dealing in 2017 and looked I could not help but wonder what had happened during those 10 Years - a lot - the employees had helped the country in time of need ( a major disaster) and I could feel nothing but compassion for the spirit they had shown.

I decided that I would support MTL and reinvest more of my hard earned money to enable the spirit to continue - I was fortunate (or not) that the price dropped - and dropped, but my resolve was set.

I continued watching dips and spikes - when I made a bit it was put back - on dips, No shares sold - just looking at potential profit, for me it has worked - so far, this week could be the pinnacle of my resolve.

Good luck all - especially the Team who are doing the graft out there.

Roy

To all LTH, enjoy the minions chatter, they are only here to disrupt, and it makes a lively board.

We all know why we are here and here we will stay through thick and thin until the day comes when we are old and grey with our servants and waiters on our private island in the Med.

Good luck all, I have had what one could say is a good day, and it is "Goodnight from him and Goodnight from Meeeee Yipee!!!!

See you back in the real world tommorow.

CV - The amount of shares I sold represented less than 10% of my total holding - yes it is good to have foresight but there are times when your gut feel takes over and also I now have a healthy bank balance - ok it could have been better but also it could have been a whole lot worse.

On the Default front - they have not defaulted as yet - they are working to an agreement which they have honoured - it is up for review - and I am sure with their results and the gold price they are in KING POSITION.

Roy

WELL!!!!!

Don't think I will be selling any more just yet - my heart goes out to Piotr - and Lee It may have given the market just the right amount of stimulation, I will not lose any sleep over it :-)

More to come this week I have a distinct feeling that we are so close to a positive result - it has been well worth the long wait and congrats to all who have persevered.

Roy

Hello Shin,

I should of had agreed if it was not for the last 2 Weeks, Possible resettlement coming up possibly to just 1p, hope this as you find it ?

On the strength of my personal beliefs I have taken some cream off the top, just to help out with the Seasonal Costs.

I have lost too much in the past, and I must admit it was a good feeling to actually put some money in the bank.

The spread was more than I expected but with AIM you at the mercy of the MMs.

As it was less than 10% I took out I still have a fair amount of risk still attached to these shares, depending which way it goes will determine which direction to pursue next.

Be interested to hear any comments or criticism from the Team.

Roy

Hello,

At last, the long awaited dip before the real move, this could be very interesting !!!!!

Roy :-)

Hello All,

Well we have had, "Coiled spring" "Kettle to Boil",etc - so I just thought I would add my input.

To say it is Tense is not understating the case, but is the delay a reprieve before the axe falls or was it a genuine chance for our new leader to show his colours, which he certainly seems to have done!!!!

I sit and wait, to say I'll be glad when it is resolved is not understating the case, either way I will have a new problem to contemplate. Poverty or the TAX man on my back all the time :)

Have a good day

Roy

Interesting figures over the last few days so far on the sells and buys, they almost cancel each other out, which verifies the thought that there are not many out there to be had.

Which leads to another thought - With so few shares changing hands the price is not going to vary much- or is my thinking warped?

Let's see when the American market opens.

Roy

Shin,

You have prompted me into trying to source 2 of Edwins books, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (1923) and Making of a Stockbroker (1925), I am sure they will have many good hints and indications of traps investors fall into.

I have a Daughter-in-law with a good job as a librarian - I am sure she may be able to source them for me - to read in my old age, I prefer original hard copies to reading things on the computer as you can bookmark and highlight to pick a topic and study.

?When do you estimate qtr 4 figures to be released?

We hope that the loan agreement will be before xmas, Nice present!!!!!

Signing out my Sunday W/E Banter, catch you on the flipside, good hunting.

Roy

Greetings,

VERY POSITIVE- I used to (and sometimes even now) think I am overwieght in this stock, But reading posts that say "Trying to buy - no luck today" & "Available but only in minimal amounts" makes me believe I had the right strategy eight months ago.

I will sit with my dream, One day 10p a share, Dividend, Debt free & Further resources explored and producing better quality ore than at present, 2 Years, 3 years - anyone like to speculate.

My dreams of earlier this year are now a reality, I will light candles, sit and meditate and congratulate eveyone concerned in making my previous dream a reality.

Roll on next week - all I ask is a very steady climb, no big rises ( my heart wouldnt stand it) I hope everyones sentiment is similar to mine but would like to hear if they do differ as it might bring me back to Earth.

Good luck all

Hello all,

Interesting theory, the time it woke up was after the American market opened, anyone else find this a valid point.

Roy

Greetings,

Long term holder thought "This has Possibilities" so I have put 5ks worth (That I already held) into a BED & ISA.

I have held some for over 10 Years so it is good to see some potential and I am in no rush.

Roy

Hello,

Enjoy it while you can, 'cos just when you get to feel calm and settled the crowd roar in expecting you to jump up and tend to their every whim.

The calm before the storm?

Roy

Very good point Lee, but we also have to consider Dunstons points about equipment issues, bearing these in mind it is amazing that we have actually achieved these figures.

On Volmers comments I am so glad that he has opened up about his true feelings about this share and its present predicament - certainly gave me more insight into the possible outcome due to everyones ideas on the matter and possible conclusion.

Thank you all and my forecast for the week - if I dare - dips & spikes so as I once said before - "PURSES READY"

Looking forward to an interesting week and it was so good to see DUNSTON MADE HIS FIRST POST ON MTL.

I always knew we have an interesting Board, but it was on here that I made my first post - so it was interesting before I joined, Keep up the good work.

Roy

Volmer,

Please could you explain to a layman exactly what you mean by your expression "Haircut"

You have finished your post as if this is all you have to say without any explanation and leave a chill in the air.

Roy

Ok guys & gals,

The transfer was completed this morning, You can see the related cost of spread in the sales/buys - but both came in as sells.

I am currently sitting on a loss of £31.......

I don't think I will lose any sleep over it and it seems market-wise I could not have done it at a better time, time will tell - hope for general steady improvement in the coming weeks.

Quiet board but not to worry, gives us breathing space for thinking :-)

Hear from you all soon enough- as and when we have something worth reporting and mulling over.

Roy

Thanks

Hello all,

Bearing in mind Mrl waiting for 0.8 I decided to see what the charts fortold -

Arroon - 2 weeks to 1 month to recovery
Macd - 3 weeks to recovery
Bollinger - minimum 0.9p

Just my bit of fun but I do not think LOL will get his 0.8

Roy

OK - Just realised that they said the trade had to be done 'AT MARKET' so I am assuming that the market had to be open to do the trade - silly me........./;-)
