Anyway I’m off now , I’m sure a few will be saying I’m ramping this sgare anyway.
Just stating my thoughts.
Good luck all on Monday , fingers crossed for a good week.

Meant the vox interview is good I meant. Lol

Buko.

Apologies if I mislead.

Trust me read the proactive and you might feel like some of us do. The box is god to but I picked a lot more out of proactive.

Eva.

I have been in vast for four years

You have to keep raising if you have no revenue. The previous ceo ruined this company with the terrible Pickstone mine in zim. We never saw any money even though we made money. Part of the stupid deal.
Youbwill appreciate that a cheap line with only 10m spend, now worth 100m plus is going to need massive raises.
How else can an exploring company pay its staff, legals, mining costs, rns costs, new equipment costs. Accountancy costs, geological costs. And and and.
It’s simple
Mathematics. Raise to survive to get mine in production.
Forget all the other stuff , it’s part of aim and the bull that goes with it.
Yes maybe the truck money went to another mine we own or maybe some other raise had to pay to survey the diamond fields.
My god I have had to cover various different parts to my business over the years as things change.
And as much as all the nagative posters on here should write their stuff as it’s important for all of us none of them I believe have run a mining business and have no idea of the pressure.
I will leave you to make your own mind up , vastbis finally is in the best place it has been. I’m not saying it’s going to be roses. , but I’m more optimistic in tnis ceo more than ever now. Could still be wrong????
You want an even bet put it in Bt or a bank sgare. Well not this year lol or get 1% in a bank. Aim is like quicksand. Hang on or get out or sink. Occasionally a eua or ggp come along and that branch you grab in that quicksand keeps you going!!!

Anharry.
Lol. Hope so to.

Max.
I do hope we have a similar position to ggp.
I don’t agree, not for any reason other than I’m not that lucky. Always a first time.
As I said a week ago. Sold my ggp beforenit rose. Sold ukog a week before it went up 1000% over few weeks.
Could this be third time lucky.

Eva.

I can see your point but if there is ever a point as far as I’m concerned to invest in vast it’s now. Don’t take my word for it.
I started in .60s and still
Buying at 16. I have over 50m and still buying.
I take full responsibility for my actions but I will be reminding you that I have just bought a 911 in a few months and a crate of champers ! Oh and you are invited to the bar with all thenother winners when this goes mad. May take a year to get where we longbterm golfers want but I would rather take our time now we are where we are rather that act like the previous ceo and many aim companies.
I’ve lost in a lot of shares over the years but I’m in here. I do hope I’m right!!!!!

Let’s hope so eeh.
Best podcast I have heard, backed up of course with real news. Production. And more good news.
Any other company within reason and tnis price would have trebled at least wit the four bits of news at least last week.
We know why. Trust, proof of concept and finance.
It’s that simple to me. The rest is history, Ramping. De ramping.
Raising 10m or whatever is clear and was needed in order to effect a 12m plus free cash mine in time at least.
So I’m sure the trust or lack of will fade as ap indicated with’ all will be forgiven’
Proof of concept is a given.
Finance 70/30 for me. History says no.
Product next week ish says finance is a yes.
Covid, risk, whatever days maybe.
However I’m not concerned if we can clear atlas , yes will take time but we keep production as indicated and more and we can either work with them I imagine on better terms? Or pay off. Remember the zim money is still set aside so who knows what thenplan is if Re finance has to wait til further production dates are to be met.
In my mind the finance will
Come of course but just may be a bit longer.
Ap will in my opinion create a mid tier. I’m going nowhere.
Out of interest can you writebto then board or ap? I saw a poster the other day said he had contacted him and got a response , any ideas?

Buko.

With respect, I don’t think you or I or 99% of posters here have any idea what running a mine involves.
We sitnin our arm chairs moaning.
Fact 1. Mines and pre mine work doesn’t work on hot air? Does it. Called raising.
So what if the manaila trucks didn’t come.
Money went to bp or staff or the lottery.
Who cares. You are gambling on aim and no single company tells the truth , even ggp. They are no better or worse.
Ap took over a dog and had to tease his way through it.
Surely you heard that in the proactive interview.
He did it his way. One may say it’s wrong but gues what. We have a mine that will earn shed loads.
Alternative. Do what other miners do and end up bankrupt mostly and never near a working mine.
Oh what about ap%. Who cares.
He got a 600k mine and it’s worth 100m after 10m costs. Yes he gets 20m. Again who cares, we have 80m mine. For nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a stable company.
Investors need to see this how not two years ago hanging on to the past.
I started buying at 68p in 2017 thinking it would be 5p. I’m now buying at16.
Because it was a risk.
Be happy. The company is solvent, money will be rolling in from 5-% of the mining area.
We have zinc and the rest on the side when able to produce.
Atlas will stay or go. We can service this death spiral at last.
This is a good moment.
Please see it for what it is.
The negative people are like those who divorce then moan’ she did this she did that, she doesn’t do this anymore’
Move on. Find another partner. Be happy.
Ie not happy, sell your shares and make it up on eua, Thor. Stop blaming others for your own bad choices.
Now is time to buy at 16 if your at ,60 to lower down average.
Good days ahead.
Good luck to everyone, genuinely

Max.

Morning all.

Yes I totally agree.
Dam shame that now we have
1. Production
2. Payment soon
3. Good rns that clearly explains the position and why one did what they did Re pushing to production at any costs to then have a mine that can generate cash rather than an over priced mine value with years of waiting.
4. Zinc, silver in the wings as you said as a safety net
5 being able to service and pay back atlas.

That the share price hasn’t advanced. I really wonder if a lot of investors see the stable position. We aren’t an explorer from this day forward. We can pay atlas and stay solvent. Let’s not forget as far as I’m concerned cast have been trading for five years and could have collapsed at anytime.
Now no way.
So to conclude why haven’t people rushed in with this , it’s a no brainer. I bought another 2.5 mill friday. Would have bought another 10 mill after this need but no funds as have tens of millions.
I can only imagine the market and investors still need to believe money will arrive and refuse to invest on the’ promises of the past’ , the stories must be something never forgotten and they also want the finance even though we can survive without.
Normal explorers have no confirmation even with a mine , aim is just the thrill news. They aren’t really interested in profuction as it takes the spike out of it.

I guess therefore like you said.
If this share doesn’t rise on the first production I don’t know what to believe
Do you have thoughts on what we might recived from first production after costs

Yes agree.

Although in the past he has given some Sterling pod performances lol this is the first serious one for me.
Made the call that he may have made an error Re investment but all
Seemed clear with the intentions going forward.
To be honest it’s just sit and wait.
My feeling is that this company will perform its growth like a much bigger concern. Small consistent rises , to mid tier.
Yes faybtraders will sell on small spikes, my preference is slow and steady to stop the inevitable large spike then people sell the hell out of it. That is what we don’t need.
Be happy with .25 with proof on concept and slowly build up to anticipation of finance to Dec/jan to 40/50’

Max, I agree completely. Feels like a new company and positive all round. The de rangers will say’ more bull’ but we are moving well at last. He started the week badly but ended it very well, two good discussions.
What are your thoughts on the income, I found the forecast on 8 Sep , my reading is after all variable and fixed costs we could still pay atlas off with their conversions, even though at first ap may need to raise again.
I think as long as ap raises purely for atlas conversion threat then all is well.
If we have income there should be no need to raise on top of the fixed amount atlas may chose to convert on.

Evening all

Very positive podcast with proactive and also vox I thought.
Ap also sorted of said he ran the company like his own and here we are.
A poster earlier said 350 tonnes in coming weeks. , poss 450, that wasn’t concentrate though. Does anyone have a figure after mercuria charges on top that we are likely to see as a ball park figure net please?

Oh other message just appeared.

Just posted but got lost. Just put £4K in and now I’m at point never before.
This is the time ,, I feel at last.
If this sgare doesn’t double to .32 with production news then nothing makes sense in aim at all. I get there is no sense to aim but with production like this it would mean you could never expect anything from aim

Well I’ve just bought another £4K worth.
Robbed everyone I know to get to a place that scares me Portfolio’s wise with this share.
This is the moment of truth.
If this price doesn’t at least double when revenue hits in a week or two? £400/500k then I’m outbof sharedeAling forever as it confirms aim is a sespit that never follows then proper line. I know it doesn’t but this is such a no brainer if the revenue comes.

I meant atlas can hold their funds that are allocated for the zim deal. Not mercuria.
Bloody typo thing.

Krazy.

Great post. But may I ask a question.
I get the £9.3 mill after development costs.
I can see this for sure.
But my one concern is atlas.
Let’s presume the term sheet is not forthcoming. What’s the b plan. We can’t afford another death spiral.
So my question is.
Can we therefore generate enough cash over next year to pay off atlas for good and still survive , without raising.
Furthermore we don’t want to be looking at other projects at all if this is achievable I imagine , just concentrate on this asset to be debt free.
Now if clearly we can pay off atlas through ramped up monthly revenue then even without a bank the investors here can see debt reduction on a large scale.
I can live with keeping and increasing my stake if I see the b plan and a way whereby atlas can just hold the mercuria funds ready to use on signing.
Any feedback greatly received.

Somebody please answer the question lol about £65mill as I wouldn’t mind knowing!

Love the point about gambling. Certainly feels like that. However if there was a company that has changed that on aim it’s ggp. Continued rise and not falling anytime soon. Wish I had kept my shares like many.
Onwards and upwards.

Good to see some positive posters sandy and mizman. Forgive me if I’ve forgotten anyone. Good luck all.

Blue for mike.

Interesting reading. I’m going nowhere til I fall on the sword , in for the long haul. Waited long enough
Ap will pull it off, if he doesn’t then indeed someone else no doubt will have a go. The key is when a ceo has to go. Failure to finance in Dec is his last chance.
However holders would have then voted him in before fornthree more years.
MakeS you wonder if this was all timed also. Maybe I’m just getting paranoid.
Either way he could have played it so much better. I always got the fact of why he had to play this game to get to being a producer but the last few days does give cause for serious worry with jorc, accounts and maybe poor tonnage , I could be so wrong over the next week but clearly suspect this price won’t move more than maybe 5/% on the production news.
I do hope I’m wrong
