No problem Bobby, we don't always see eye to eye but I think we both share an interest in this succeeding. I think with all the tumultuous event we're in danger of overlooking what an extraordinary result TD025 was, the lab had to re-calibrate the machine for Pete's sake! If we get confirmation that the resource is also clean or at least not going to cause problematic smelter penalties then Toral is a big prize for someone. There's so much going for it we just need to ensure the funds can take us to a better place. It's hardly an ideal situation but it could have been worse, the lockdown could have hit before the drills completed and this 3rd phase met work should conveniently carry us to a point where governments are simultaneously trying to kick start their economies.

I admit I am anxious Bobby, seen too many AIM Exec's do what's best for themselves not shareholders and never held to account. I really do have more faith with EUZ though. As Lloydy, Brikz & Oil will testify there is a lot more fire and passion in LR than comes across in the more measured interviews. I believe his primary motivation here is to deliver a project that will be the talk of the industry and increases his own professional currency - that aligns 100% with our interests. We just need to know that the cash will stretch into the hoped for world recovery period when our value will be realised.

So two weeks on from announcing that budgets would be reviewed to conserve capital and as suspected it's proving a lengthy process. Most shareholders could show them in an instant how cash could most swiftly be protected but I'd be happy to bet they'll squeeze the pips out of all the other outgoings before finally looking at the Exec salaries.

I think that was just for the change in land use Numpster which would have been in preparation for applying for the full mine licence (I assume). Since then the process has been streamlined so it would be good to hear where we are, I suppose the local engagement process is on hold until lockdown is over. Encouraging signs from Spain on CV though.

B1ll I guess it's a case of how long it might take for the additional piezometers to deliver the necessary data, might be one for LR that. The Feb hydrology RNS is quite a tough read but you're right it is critical to a successful outcome. I read it as being very positive that anticipated water permeability is manageable and that the additional monitoring is precautionary and largely to inform the mine design rather than being a 'do or die' move. Right now I'm curious as to why the budgetary measures are taking so long.

Treetop there will always be some people who go too far. I think Johnson is a dreadful man but I hope he recovers as any human should. We lose over 3,000 citizens a year due directly to fuel poverty in the UK, not sure I've seen the Conservatives rushing to help these people who die quietly every winter. Hopefully if Johnson recovers from this virus he will take the poverty pandemic more seriously in this country. We now know the money is always there if needed.

It was certainly a worrying development for the apprentice Tiger Keeper who was told to take the mouth swab.

I would advise caution 10BT, do you have any friends in addition to the WhatsApp group just in case??? I think the Oct presentation is a good place to start but make sure you emphasise what has been achieved since - indicated resource - strong mets - mega new cores.

Brickz it would be mad not to with the National Enquirer research :) Due to personal business insecurity I can't risk more cash at the moment which is incredibly annoying as my ISA average is high. Wonder if budgetary measures will come before mets or vice-versa? As discussed last week I can see a case both ways.

The last par chilled me a little as I hope the company have factored in the possibility that CV could still affect operations. They've had the first few cases in Amur now, hopefully it's been contained but the pattern across the world is that this seems to be impossible. Obviously our operations are isolated and most workers live on site in extended shifts so let's hope it can be kept out but a breakout in camp could be a real problem. I hope they have a way of testing the workforce as they return from leave.

I suppose the eternal game of guess when the mets drop starts next week. I think I must have called them too early every time so in keeping with tradition I'd say 'early April' means by the 10th as after the 10th would be mid April wouldn't it? Therefore I'm saying by the end of next week and I'll be wrong.

Total deaths in S Korea with their early rolled out policy of testing = 169. We're hurtling towards 3000 sadly as the government belatedly try to catch up with testing. The S. Korea model was always the clear blueprint for flattening the outbreak, incompetence and arrogance have needlessly led us into following the Italian and Spanish path. The unforgivable truth is that our policy-makers had this evidence before the major break out here and chose to ignore it. Idiots.

I'm not sure Cavity you could equally argue anything negative in the budgetary plans will stifle the positive effects of good mets but I'm not saying you're wrong or I'm right - who knows? It seems now more than ever that the SP is almost an irrelevance, you either believe that Toral is a fine asset and can be sold as the world recovers from the pandemic or you don't. Providing 2nd phase mets don't come in with problematic levels of deleterious elements I think Toral could virtually be a giveaway at anything between 0.25-0.5p/ps. I see that Spain estimates that there are nearly 1M jobs lost due to CV to date, an already supportive local jurisdiction will be desperate for job-creating projects to move forward in the recovery from the economic shock.

.... these conspiracy theories start to gain traction, this from the New Scientist.....
....Researchers led by Shan-Lu Liu at the Ohio State University say there is “no credible evidence” of genetic engineering (Emerging Microbes & Infections, doi.org/dpvw). The virus’s genome has been sequenced, and if it had been altered, we would expect to see signs of inserted gene sequences. But we now know the points that differ from bat viruses are scattered in a fairly random way, just as they would be if the new virus had evolved naturally.

It's simply the result of a new kind of politics, the boring steady hand on the tiller doesn't appeal to the electorate anymore. Shamefully we voted a clown into No. 10, who then brought in the advisor Dominic Cummings who even Michael Gove described as a "career psychopath", who in turn called for more "weirdos and misfits" at the heart of government, result? Total chaos and confusion in a crisis, utter self-inflicted lunacy.

Wow that Jenrick is a slippery s*d even for a politician. Surprised he didn't claim not to be sitting in front of a bookcase.

I'm not point scoring JD just expressing my opinion, I am hearing very different stories to yours from the front line. However I trust your feedback is genuine and guess at this stage much depends on where you happen to be stationed.

I also wouldn't want to be on a Dyson ventilator, bet they'll look fantastic but.........

Also don't forget the EU ventilator procurement scheme that we chose not to join. Remember Dominic Cummings is at the heart of everything in government and decisions are being made on ideological grounds not what is best for the country. I genuinely think they thought it would play well politically to mobilise all these companies to start making ventilators rather than go for the more efficient option, Dunkirk spirit and all that sort of thing.

From the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, who to put it mildly is rarely a critic of this government, "The lack of testing is rapidly becoming a straightforward political problem".
