Craigyy - that will be Peter & Stephen keeping them for themselves :)

Thanks Cobra - just hope all this analysis actually converts into the £'s we could all do with. I understand Gizzard's sentiment from earlier, lot's of false dawns here but as Bricks has pointed out before we've all learnt a lot about the mine development cycle.

It's probably why the cement plant is located there in the first place Bricks. All part of the neat fit and will be a help with the stakeholder engagement. Laurence always goes on about tailings management, not as exciting as drilling but there are obvious synergies with the cement works and it's all part of the process of making this a viable proposition.

Anyone in any doubt about how meticulously this mine is being planned go on Google Earth and view Toral from the N-120 (nearest village Paradela del Rio) and you'll see a cement plant. I'd imagine that will be handy when it comes to constructing a mine but interestingly there's also potential for them to take the limestone waste from any mining, don't know if they'll actually pay for it or if it just improves the economics of tailings. Okay in terms of the economics this is not a dealmaker but I just find details of little synergies like that reassuring that this thing is for real.

I have to agree the way news is framed can often seem deliberately flat. There was an opportunity to announce the end of drilling in a much more positive way without ramping. They could have waited for drill completion and announced (as they did in the media after TO25 completion) that we have enough core, have proved the economics and are concentrating on x, y, z other works to start marketing the asset, while preserving cash. The change in strategy could easily have been communicated in a much more positive way and still been 100% accurate. Right now the good bit, in short there's a reason LR does LinkedIn and not Twitter. He is addressing the industry, not PI's as he knows promoting the company to us will help the SP but make not a jot of difference to a frictionless sale, this is becoming increasingly stark as we near the end. If you want proof of this outlook go all the way back to the Shares Magazine investor presentation from 2018 and you'll see the mantra hasn't changed, totally about strong economics, pointless just drilling without that, political stability, infrastructure and so on. Interestingly he says they were talking to the industry back then and even conducted site visits. Finally and total speculation but he has talked about a frictionless transaction and I just wonder if operationally we are already in a transitional phase, could there be on-site involvement from someone else hence no up to date pictures? Just a thought.

Chaps - I know it's an AIM cliche to suggest radio silence means something big is going on but guess what I think there is, I have my reasons but accept I would say that. As for EUA I must admit after very limited research I had a bit of a FOMO punt there a while back and am enjoying the distraction as well. I must emphasise my investment here is the polar opposite in terms of scale and exhaustive research plus comms with the company. Admittedly at the moment I wish it was the other way round but firmly believe our time is coming here.

I've not been a huge fan of EUA / EUZ references - in the past you might have thought we were sister companies. However, and just a thought but any good news here and there will be a lot of EUA boys & girls with bulging satchels (steady) ready to steam in here.

No probs Rusty not offended - I actually expected a bit more stick. I agree it's the fundamentals that matter and thanks goodness after all this time they're improving.

Rusty - Petropavlovsk is a city in Russia which literally means 'City of Peter & Paul (Pavel)' so I get why they chose the name, just think it would help to have gold in there as any, even if mistaken references to petroleum are going to get more negative over the years. Anyway I'm obviously wasted here so will send my CV to POG Public Relations.

Yes it was Peter Hambro Mining before changing to Petropavlovsk. It's normal for a company name to have some connection to what you do (obviously) so why not Petropavlovsk Gold, although I suppose we were still had the iron ore business as part of the actual company then. I do think it is a fair point although probably not our principal concern at the moment. Anyway I see my suggestion has put the SP back on the right path :)

Ah yes apologies Storey about turn please. When you do come down for real be careful who you ask about getting off in Plymouth - lot of sailors about!

Ps. My misapprehension was corrected before I invested before I lose all credibility....

Haha that was my my cut-off point as well Bricks, I think Bobby should definitely come in case things get too jolly and we need some balance. Right even though this thread was my fault as a superstitious soul perhaps this better stop, AIM is littered with doomed companies where there was talk of triumphal parties, lovely thoughts though.

Now I know I'm sticking my head about the parapet and even if it's not shot off I will be the subject of some amusement but I wonder if, particularly in the current climate, POG might benefit slightly from a tweak in its name. Why? well, all those years ago when I first saw POG listed in the mining sector I wondered why an O&G stock was listed under 'Mining' (Petro - petroleum = O&G). I know this doesn't come without significant costs, after all it's not just the stationary!! If you think I'm mad look at how many companies that are O&G now use the more euphemistic "Energy" in their name. Go on you haters laugh if you must but you heard it here first! :)

It's simple Storey, train from Newcastle to Plymouth then ferry...... aahhh.... might need EUZ to go for £1 per share to pay for the train :)

All welcome Leslieby, I'm genuinely serious about it as I'd love to visit Los Médulas as well. Anyway all dreams for now let's get that positive newsflow going LR (starting tomorrow hopefully).

Now Mirzaaziz Musakhanov has hopped it, not surprising given the Aeon situation - never a dull moment at POG.

Certainly no counting chickens here, we only have two so it wouldn't take long anyway but if this comes good I will be making a pilgrimage to Toral, climb the ridge and crack open a pack of Estrella Galicia knowing that what lies beneath my feet has served a very useful purpose indeed. But like I said I haven't really thought about it (apart from checking ferry times from Plymouth-Santander).

Seems my POGurgatory (sorry) is indefinite, first gravity set in right off my 19p average and now this shady lot turn up. Couldn't make it up!

I suspect excitement elsewhere on AIM is stifling volume here. Need a unequivocally positive RNS to get this back on the radar.
