That's a relief !
Some are suggesting its all my fault.

I will revisit the March 2 update Tanz - I hope it's not cloaked in 'expectations' and 'targets'.
I'm going out now - it is friday eve!

Well Tanz, if that's the case you could say that he was simply repeating what he'd been told.
BUT...
He's CEO, not tea-boy, did it not occur to him to check whether there was a suitable drill booked for the dates?
Anyway, it was incorrect and misleading. Has he apologised ? Has ARA apologised ?

Thanks bullfrog.
So ARA told Santos, and Santos told us ?

Was it Santos who said they'd be drilling in October 2022 ?

What?
Do you honestly believe that the miserable SP is due to my posts ?!

Yes, he'll be posting his list soon.

Tanz - Gaslady may correct me but I believe she was becoming increasingly disillusioned by Aminex.
She made the mistake of believing what Aminex was saying - in late October 2022 she still believed the drill would take place that month because the Company had said so.
Not unreasonable but of course the Company hadn't even arranged for a rig. I think this was compounded by the Company stating the 3D data would be available by mid-March (and if it is, it hasn't been shared), and a trial drill is planned for the end of this month - is that happening ?
I'm not saying that the deterioration in the quality of posts here wasn't also a factor. Continuous accusations, blocking, filtering etc is of course pathetic puerile behaviour that should have been left in the school playground.

Yes BG, but I just wish they'd complete and release the 3D data...

You called me a liar RogerJolly.
I'm not going to respond to you in future.

Dream on Haggis.

Well grsshaw - you make several points.
1. Agreed - we buy a share based on the facts before us.
2. Past performance in no guide but a drop in the SP from 80p in 1997 to 1p now is I suggest a fundamental change.
3. Nevertheless, we should look forward. Good news? Lots of talk about good news - I'd be happier to hear of actual progress.
4. I too am a business owner, and indeed have been for the entirety of my (long!) career.
5. Positivity vs negativity is fundamental here, and the reason that I am not popular. The assumption I think is that as a shareholder I should be shouting how wonderful everything is from the rooftops (no matter what I think) in an attempt to talk up the SP. Naive at best, not to mention dishonest.
Despite this, I continue to hold having bought originally at about 11p and averaged down a couple of times. If the SP rises to 4p I'll get my stake back, but this has been a thoroughly disappointing investment.
Mercifully, this is just one of about 60 shares in my portfolio, and some are actually in profit.
Thank-you for your well-explained position.

BG - he was saying in response to your statement that Telegram was your preferred site, that at Telegram you would read opinions that agreed with your own., not a balanced, impartial view.
And it is a balanced impartial view you want.

Well let's hope you're right Aimster !

err...I think that's the point Crusty is making BG !

...and if it's me, I'm sorry.
But I'm continually accused of being a crook, a con-man, a liar, having alter-egos here, deliberately talking the SP down, of having ulterior motives, trading the stock...
None of this is true, and I can't sit back and ignore it all...

That would be a shame gaslady !

"I suggest you sit on the fence for now and await to see who's got egg on their faces !"
That's absolutely correct Tanz.!
Good advice!

Yes VK - it is very difficult and there are few 'genuinely useful' posts.
Can I suggest that it's always worth reading posts by CrustyPete and Prosciutto...

I don't accept that I have been 'over-negative' Tanz. The SP has been trading in the range of (circa) 0.5p to 1.3p for the last 3 or 4 years, and as you know is currently about 1p.
Despite the countless claims of imminent positive news, I am (I think) the ONLY one here to have called it correctly.
As to the future, we need facts. I may alter my opinion if for example the 3D seismic results are shared and positive, but as I've told you countless times I'd be very surprised if I didn't sell up if the SP was to reach 4p.
