Now how do you come to those figures Starres? AIHL 27,920 tests in just the north west? I think there are about 100k babies born prematurely in the UK each year and of them something like 30% (or was it 70..?) possibly have Sepsis and thus need the AIHL test. So your figures there, unless just a joke, mean most of the babies born prematurely in the UK each year that would require this AIHL test have already been born in the last 6 months and....all in the north west.

It's late and I'm sure I've misunderstood something or just having a sense of humour failure. If those figures were anything like accurate/real then a) the sp would be a lot higher than it is and b) Budd would have announced such humongous figures by now.

There's always tomorrow guys....

Led to believe by who Guy? System?? At least that’s made me smile for the first time in ages when looking in on this bb.

We’re definitely back to usual proceedings here. Seven months silence on sales and not looking likely we’ll hear anything until the end of year results in a month’s time. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. To say I’m surprised would sadly be over stating things.

Well done Budd. You’re really surpassing yourself this year.

hmmm does that tell is there isn't a third party looking over their shoulder at Molopo then...?

I know it’s not for the Directors. I didn’t say that. The RNS explains that perfectly well. I mean I’ll be interested to see which advisers and outsiders will receive batches of these shares. Will more drilling companies be offered 50% of their fees in shares as with the Molopo scenario? Not a bad way to keep costs down for POW and means PJ must be providing enough evidence to such recipients that they’ll effectively invest in the success of the company.

Been looking into some of the past dealings of our esteemed Chairman. Interesting mo. Companies share prices are invariably lowered and then after a while bids arrive. Not high bids equitable to what shares holders think each company is worth but at a decent premium to the prevailing sp. He will obviously have been rewarded each and every time with shares and goodness knows what else.

I’m starting to think that’s on the cards here and the longer Budd remains silent the more likely I feel an offer will land out of the blue. Primarily because many share holders will be fed up with the sp lingering near 10p and offer to buy the company for 30p per share will to many be attractive. Nothing like as much as the company is worth going forward but a bird in the hand…

If I’m right then Budd May well let the sp slip further and deliberately announce a negative statement with end of year results. Announce the offer before AGM. Guesswork of course but it simply doesn’t make sense for Budd to stay silent for nearly 7 months now on the burning issue for GDR ie SALES!!!!

I’m more interested in seeing who the shares are doled out to rather than the creation of the warrant pool itself.

what you say makes total sense rosso and that is why the sp sits where it is even though PJ has given out all the signals that this could be 'transformational'. It's happened so many times before that fewer and fewer people buy into the hype and so sit on the fence for longer. PJ will look fairly untrustworthy though if this one ends up being uncommercial and, as stated in a previous post, he will damage his chances of attracting investors for future project drilling etc which may or may not be genuinely exciting. What will he say? 'No folks, I know Molopo came to nothing but this one honestly is a real beast and possibly even bigger than Molopo and even more transformational...'. He'd be shooting himself in the foot. Who knows, maybe that's exactly what he has done here by talking it up big time without any guarantee of what lies in the ground. Going to be fascinating. Could be epic or it could be crippling for many who have bought in to the hype and over loaded themselves with shares.

yep mine too. 2999 at 5.06p was just a test to see how it would be reported. it's there as a sell so you can probably gather from that all buys at that price and over marked in red are in fact blue. Doesn't amount to very much anyway at this volume.

The cynic in me thinks PJ has been trying to set this up for a while now simply in order to get the sp up to a more respectable level, but the longer it goes on the more I think he must know he'd only be shooting himself in the foot if this drill came to nothing and he'd been seen by the entire market blowing hot air about it to all and sundry for the last couple of months. All those interviews of 'ooh it's a very large conductor...we're really excited...' etc would really damage his reputation going forwards and make it far harder to attract interest on other projects further down the line. A case of Peter crying 'wolf', if you like. So, I now lean to the idea he's super confident that they're on to something a bit special but of course he can't possibly really know anything more than anyone until the cores are out of the ground and have been tested.

Agreed that after all the RNSs keeping us informed of every little step of every project POW has interests in, not to mention all the recent interviews and tweets trying to whip investors up into a frenzy over the Molopo drill, it's odd that they would now miss out on a straight forward update - that in no way would be price sensitive - just to say first target depth of 300m reached with no problems and it's now on to the more serious depths.

As for Oliver being there, it's part of his job I would imagine to oversee the more serious cores being looked after and sent for inspection. Thing is, has a third party also sent their own rep/geologist to verify first hand what is seen visually as it comes out of the ground. I gather that even from the naked eye geologists can tell to a degree what is in front of them so it makes sense he's there to give PJ as clear an idea as he can on progress and which way results might go. All fascinating to watch and observe PJ's modus operandi, especially as he hopes to be in similar positions with other POW projects in the near future.

Place your bets and good luck.

* details…not ‘entails’!

4/5p?? Really not sure about that. At something like another 40% discount the sp would need to be at around 8p and I can’t see that happening the closer we get to NICE guidance hopefully for ‘best practice’ in February. I agree, and have thought for a while there will be another raise but I’m firmly of the opinion Budd will come up with something before AGM time to a) guarantee his salary and b) give the sp a temporary lift and then on the back of that he’ll hit us with the entails of another raise. However, I’m hoping that will be at certainly nothing lower than 8p and more like current levels if we have any half decent news and the sp can heave itself back up to 15/16p. A raise at 12p would be great news to see us through to a point where AIHL is generating income and get the FDA application underway for approvals in the US market. The FDA application could well be via a much faster and cheaper route than normal if AIHL qualifies for De Novo.

The next news I’m expecting is something positive to get Budd through the AGM so for the next two or three months I’d say things look ok here. Little bit of up and down and the occasional p &d raid but fairly stable until end of Nov and then I’m hoping for some positive scraps to be thrown to us by Buddy boy.

Surely BMN is going to get a look in with something like that, yes? A little piece of the pie is a step in the right direction. I hope Fortune’s telephone line is red hot just now…

Perseverance! Rather apposite for GDR share holders over the last couple of years…

Loved that NTNON team. Gerald the gorilla…?

Weird to have two such hefty trades within seconds of one another after hours. One a buy. one a sell and very similar amounts. Just coincidence?

as for System, nissan, beech and Bruno, you call it naive but for me it was just banal and not worth even the few seconds it would take to read/decipher their collective posts. Each to their own.

sorry sir... 100 lines on their way to you by break time tomorrow

Blimey popeye! I’m glad you did well out of that but I recall many investors feeling it was sold on the cheap. Let’s hope the sp here can get back towards 30p before any such offer lands for GDR. £100m would get my vote of approval though :)

Happened before with small diagnostic companies that really do have potential - good news smothered or withheld for as long as legally permitted, sp declines and out of the blue a lowball offer surfaces to purchase the company and once voted through - but before money has changed hands - the company starts announcing deals and sales (so as not to break the law) that would have made the share price jump in the first place. I've said it many times but this could absolutely be what's happening here.

I just don't understand why the company would be so quiet over AIHL and Strike Marker test. When there is an RNS Budd delivers two or three sentences and that's it. Back to silence as quickly as possible. I want GDR to succeed on its own now but the closer we get to the AGM the more nervous I'm becoming that there's going to be a curve ball thrown at ordinary share holders here. An offer of £50m would be peanuts for a big pharma but the possible profit from the global potential even with just these two assays would make that seem cheap with in 3 or 4 years. Imagine a company buying GDR's technology and being able to put some serious money behind it to develop many more assays and far more quickly.

Barking?

Anyone remember a company called Axis Shield? Donkeys years ago but I think something like that happened with them.

Just my take on it but…I’d just forget about the Covid POC as I’m fairly confident it just isn’t needed or wanted any more. It’s never been wanted actually but almost zero chance of anyone needing it in meaningful quantities now.

AIHL and stroke marker tests are the next big opportunities for Budd to f..k up for us. Can’t wait to hear what Budd comes out with next time he can stoop so low as to address his loyal subjects..er share holders I mean.
