Bozi you're clearly another one sitting underwater here and guided purely by emotion and blind faith. So what if I'm eyeing up a trade? That's what this board is for - to discuss. If you want an echo chamber set up your own board, don't try to police this one along with the other gnomes on Zurich on here. Some of you should never have been allowed near a share trading platform - you can't handle a loss and you can't handle other peoples' opinions. Filter me or man up.

"If you're not happy with management, why don't you take your cash somewhere where your expectations are managed to the minute?"

I would imagine quite a few will do that - if and when they ever break even again.

"swimming along beautifully" ?

So no longer in the canoe then, paddling away? What is the next stage? "Happily in over our heads..."?

"I wouldn't be too hasty in buying the "dip" in these.markets,......
This looks and feels v different imho......."

Wise prescient words BNC, 10 days ago when the price was 17.3p.

"a tier 1 gold mine, which is appreciating by the second as gold surges?"

That's gold in bank vaults, or in your pocket, or your purse, not the stuff deep underground... that's jam tomorrow. Or the day after tomorrow.

"my pref was to sell Alpala/Cascabel and repeat on the others."

I agree 1000% with this. What a different story the last 3 years would have been.

The big mistake is thinking time and fate is on your side - that you can go on for years making the target bigger and bigger and bigger, whilst burning up the resources you need to meet that target, without some kind of shock or external event wrecking your plans when you are at your most extended, stretched out and vulnerable.

Harold Macmillan summed it up. What can go wrong? "Events, dear boy, events."

Cornerstone going rogue becoming an absolute liability. Local court petitions against mining. The country suddenly rocked with civil unrest and looking like it was descending into anarchy. And now a virus - which hasn't even reached Ecuador - ripping the backside out of the global economy for the foreseeable future and almost certainly destroying the prospects of any majors putting their hands very deep in their pockets to buy anything until the dust has well and truly settled. And that's praying to God the virus doesn't take hold in South America.

So much for trying to play the long game. It's alright for the majors, they can think in terms of decades.

So you burn through that £20million cash pile and then what?

There are some brilliant comics from that Comedy Unleashed club on YouTube. Some proper old fashioned un-PC laughs.

Blood bath Wids? Not for us sitting on huge piles of cash. I'm back in here bigtime at 41.7p. Happy camping. The divi alone is worth it.

This morning makes you realise what a tiny canoe that is, and what a big scary route sh+t creek is to take.

"You should see the chaos here in italy".

Yeah, but that's Italy on a normal day. Throw in a mild virus and all the local corruption, laziness, profiteering and general lack of character does the rest. Shocking to think we used to be in a European Union with countries like that.

Here in Britain we keep calm and carry on. We have a laugh about it, don't get into a flap, and deal with it.

Don't laugh earthling... Captain Trips is coming.

"Perfect chess player".

But unfortunately the game is Mahjong.

Hovered over the BUY button a few times today... SOLG for under 14.60p, it seems crazy, it should be irresistible, but beyond the miasma of this silly pandemic overreaction there it just feels like the life is draining from this share. It just all seems too late now, missed chances, missed opportunities, everything over diluted and spread too thin, too much endless drilling and spending, big talk and no action and way too much now depending on BHP to save it in a financial climate that has just turned very sour. The resource value is there, the share value is not. I honestly cannot see any reason it won't continue to decline, parked like SXX indefinitely. 11p could be optimistic. All that copper and gold - if this company cannot get its finger out and carve a path to either production or sale or takeover - might as well be on the Moon. Meantime money is burning, and with a declining share price raising more will be an even harder dilution hit than might have been.

I daresay the long term loyalists are still telling themselves "Nick is lining his ducks up in a row" but this looks far more like a lame duck. One for the very brave.

I'm going to take my mind off corona virus this weekend by curling up with a good book. "The Stand" by Stephen King should do it.

Hasn't been down here since September 2016, even with the court cases and the threats of anarchy in the country. Three and a half years of progress wiped out on the price. Any of the old crowd still on here who can talk sense rather than just calling decent people snakes? Is this just corona virus panic (and I think there is a LOT of short term silly panic across the board, hence the bargains) or a true reflection on the situation (all thing considered).

Wouldn't have dreamed of being able to pick up SOLG at 15p again... It was 23p just a couple of weeks ago. But really, what is there in the pipeline that is going to turn things around anytime soon? It was the one thing I think Nick never understood - time is NOT on your side.

Out bargain hunting this morning, and took a look at my old fave SOLG. Got out here big at 42p then traded in the 35-38p range before getting out of stocks altogether.

What the hell has happened here? All that potential, all that interest and buzz. For me, the red flag was when BHP took a stake at 45p one morning but the SP failed to match that, despite the euphoria - that was my trigger to get out.

My long term fears were always more and more dilution (1.4 billion shares in issue when I first bought), the dumpster fire with Cornerstone, and most of all Nick's "paddle our own canoe" sense of grandeur and unrealistic ambitions and timescales, drilling drilling drilling, spending spending spending. Jam tomorrow. Forever.

So is it a bargain this morning? On one level (resource value) it must be. But will this SP ever recover? Why should it? The future stretches on with no resolution or or reward or end in sight, the horizon keeps receding.

There is a Tolstoy story "HOW MAN LAND DOES A MAN NEED?". Nick would have done well to read it back in 2017 when things were going well.

This one's heading the way of SXX. Never, ever be loyal to a share - you are not part of the "journey", just the one forking out for the travel expenses.

"SH, just can't stand it when people talk a share down to suit their purpose"

Then mate I suggest 2 things:

1) You realise that after the BHP buy in, not even the army of derampers that used to infest this board couldn't talk it down now.

2) You wind your neck in. I was on this board regularly long, long before you. People who do know me on here, whether they like me or not, know I'm pretty straight, call it as I see it and don't lie about my trades.

I was the biggest moaner and critic of NM for months until we rocketed from 20p to 45p again. Now I'm happy to (as we used to say on here) have his babies, and I have no doubts whatsoever on the future of this company (which you would have realised if you read my post properly).

I've been trading the 35p-38p range for weeks now. Is that a sin? I haven't commented on here for months because today's new was about the first bit of significant news we've had that might knock the SP out of its current range. B My negative comments were about how the market might react to a drawn out battle for Cornerstone, and that's why I sold up. y today it was clear that 35.6p was about as bad as it was going to get and I bought back in. WTF is wrong with that?

Strider4 why so angry mate? It's Friday. I've been in this share for 2.5 years now. I buy, I sell, I hold if I think there might be a t/o landing - do I really need your permission to post his info now and again when we get a bit of interesting news?

No G - hindsight is when you buy in at 1.5p, sell at 46p, buy back in at 20p sell at 45p and buy back in at 35p.

Don't begrudge me a wee penny improvement on my same amount of shares ;)
