Fort, I wonder if the first offer was dismissed outright and out of respect or wanting to maintain a cordial relationship we kept hush. The Chinese must have indicated they would come back again, we then released Tandy, and their second offer was such a p*sstake the BoD decided to release it?

RBC have clearly told a few folks in the square mile which explains the price action.

"I am one of lifes natural observers and problem solvers."

Christ alive. You're a boomer who clearly did very well out of a single oil and gas investment, incapable of basic arithmetic and spends every other weekend arguing with someone on a chat forum. Aristotle you are not.

"I called Dan's reset a furphy from the outset."

Thankfully the market disagrees with you, you total loon.

Sniffer - of course I'd like more than 50p, but I'm tired of a) holding this share and b) being exposed to political risk and the whims of leaders of developing/emerging nations. How long have we been waiting for the CIPA? It's never-ending. The sudden introduction of a proposed policy to charge higher fees on land packages was another unwelcome bolt from the blue that has scuppered SOLG's strategy this year.

The world is a very different place from when I first started following SOLG around a decade ago. The idea that free trade leads to propserity for all has been heavily challenged. Governments are increasingly nationalist and protectionist. I'm invested in a mining company in West Africa whose government has sat on ratifying a mining lease for over two years. It's insanity over which I have absolutely no control.

So yes, taking a 150% premium by year-end here and seeing a healthy return on my investment is preferable to continuing to hold and see what the Ecuadorian people have in mind for my investment here. Proceeds will be recycled into producers and explorers operating in 'safe' jurisdictions like Australia, or those with authoritarian governments who aren't going to be voted out every four years. Sad but true on that last point - at least you know where you stand.

Wouldn't it be nice if this was wrapped up and sold before Christmas? Give me 50p and be done with it.

I've lost count of the number of times Quady has accused people of twisting or misrepresenting what is there in black and white for everyone to read.

I'm also still wondering why the company didn't once mention the strategic review in the annual report if it is still ongoing as Quady claims? Might it be the case that he's completely wrong?

NMM - good spot RE no mention of the strategic review in the entire 2025 annual report.

Bozi - my view has always been that the strategic review was the company sticking the for sale sign in the window and thinking it could get a deal done "fast and smart".

Ironically, when a bid failed to materialise, we reverted to pursuing the same strategy as the much maligned Cuzzubbo, albeit with a very different funding strategy (and one that has ensured shareholders weren't diluted to oblivion by the majors).

Q - you don't know what you're talking about, I'm afraid. And no number of AI summaries will convince people otherwise.

No serious business embarks on a never ending strategic review.

A never ending strategic review.

Tell me you've never written a strategy without telling me you've never written a strategy.

When was the last time the company referenced the Strategic Review Q?

Jack, around 48 hours ago you posted: "DAN IS CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH AS CALDWELL."

And now you claim to have "full confidence" in him?

How do you expect anyone to take anything you say seriously? How many personalities are you having to manage in that head of yours? You are not well.

I see Quady has joined the ranks of posters contributing whatever slop their LLM of choice has decided to spit out.

Agreed, Jerry.

IP, why are you bothering spouting this nonsense on a public board where everyone knows you've lost the plot. Just put your ramblings to the company, or the regulator, or a lawyer. See what kind of response you get.

I don't think there is any doubt Jack has a decent holding here. What is genuinely quite sad is that he's clearly not very well if he believes even half of what he posts on here. Combined with the multiple name changes (in real life as well as on here) and deletion of his LinkedIn profile, his ramblings point to an increasingly concerning mental illness. If he is still with his wife and family I hope they get him help.

Quady for many years has been unable to comprehend that we have to publicly state the intention to take the asset to production - and convince the market we can do so - else the share price collapses and the Ecuadorians tell us to get stuffed. As an aside, if we can get TAM up and running with a low cost, open pit mine then we should all make some good money from these levels and be able to bring in some proper mining expertise to develop Cascabel.

Quite clearly Paul Smith and Dan Vujcic are not here to preside over the construction of a multi-generational block cave operation.

Panda, I hold enough shares here with an average of 7.8p that allow me to sleep easy at night and not spend my days writing garbage on this BB about things that never happen. I'll hold them until this is either sold or is a producing asset and should do nicely either way.

Sangha would bite your hand off at 100p today you muppet. As would Vujcic. £2.9bn for SOLG before it reaches production would be a sensational outcome.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but I actually wouldn't be averse to Solgold building a mine at TAM given how simple it is shaping up to be. You'd imagine that at the point it becomes apparent we can genuinely go it alone and generate the capital to fund a block cave at Cascabel, a major finally steps in and makes us a sensible offer.

After years of stagnation we are finally making progress.

The Truman Show must go on, Jack.

IP - ref your lunch in Milan with Mather, how did he know your visiting hours?

Imminent in the SOLG sense of the word, possibly.
