Yep, not invested there but I note CHAR still affected.

Was down when I posted, literally just opened. Twitter users also spotted it, opening auction was delayed for some reason.

Entire FTSE is down, massive IT failure. VLADIMIR!!!

Wow market itself seems to be down, this is nuts!

I was not interested when you were simply saying the share price would collapse. You made no attempt to clarify that you thought it would be temporary and remain bullish on the long term prospects, as you have finally explained tonight. I'm not convinced that the loss of the originator of this play means operations shouldn't continue, but we can simply disagree on that one and that's fine. I hope you will reconsider your brushing off of the idea that BBs move illiquid shares. Veterans of LSE and AIM have seen it many times.

It's a shame you didn't present this kind of argument from the start instead of forecasting share price collapse as recently as 24 hours ago. I hope you'll continue to couch your arguments in more fleshed out terms instead of just the severe dramatic negative and then acting aghast when investors are irate.

And if all this is the case, why do you 'remain optimistic'? You seem quick to tell us why this is doomed and very reluctant to reveal why you remain optimistic.

Were you watching the ticker today? Lots of movement on small numbers of trades. Absurd to equate that with sufficient liquidity. Meanwhile if the whole business rested on Mr Gray, yet people were so furious at the operational problems, why is his passing a sign that things will worsen? Why are you not selling your shares? If I am so certain a company is doomed I don't waste my time trying to convince others, I sell. You keep dodging that question, yet you must be optimistic for the company's future or you'd have sold. Or you're holding for a deliberate loss? Nonsensical.

If you've been on this BB for this long and you don't think negative forum posting can move a thinly traded share like this, you're just not paying attention. We've all seen this share and many other similarly illiquid equities move sharply on just a small number of trades. If your scaremongering on here convinces a few to sell, bringing the price down, others then defensively sell, and on it goes. Your speculations are a curse on this share, people like you who just don't understand the reality of AIM and the impact of BBs are always a problem on illiquid shares. It's a shame that you are unwilling to understand this and insist upon harming your own and all of our investments just because you want a 'discussion' so badly. Meanwhile your assertions are still pure speculation and conflict with Jay's own statement that operational continuity is the plan. Why would Pantheon suddenly change strategies at this stage because of this? You are too involved in the background to this share and you have ended up attributing more operational significance to this going forward because of things that happened in the past. I can see you won't be stopped in your campaign to spread this doom around and can only hope that for your own sake as an investor who stands to lose money here if you succeed in spooking people, that instead people ignore your comments and focus on the company's own statements.

Thinking of the future is a good discussion. Saying the shares would crash in the morning and everything was going to pot was panic-fanning and not helpful. Be realistic guys, this is a forum largely of people who have invested personal wealth in this company. It's not this fantasy impartial discussion board and never will be, don't pretend to expect that and complain when people get upset about your doom forecasts. Tempering ones tone and having some emotional self discipline before posting ones every concern is only prudent. Anyone who has spent time in AIM and on LSE knows that this BB really can move illiquid shares like this, so bear this in mind when composing 'discussion' posts unless your goal truly is to lower the price. I of course do not condone the ridiculous cancer comment, but that shouldn't be used to characterise everybody who took issue with the highly inflammatory comments on the release of this news.

I managed to snag a few earlier at 18.29, bargain!

Pretty wonderful to see the political storm coming to an end just as the metallurgy situation develops. I think this may be one of the great AIM growth stories very soon.

*cough* AST bb *cough* *shudder*

Don't worry George if you're lucky you'll be right and your investment here will tank. Sure you have your fingers crossed.

Bacanora Minerals lost founder Colin Orr-Ewing and has continued on the same path. I think people who are very attached to this company and involved in its story perceive this as bigger than it is in terms of market impact. There won't be some sudden change to the drilling program or the recoverables, and that's what speaks to investors.

This isn't some tiny business and the partner is the company not the man. I'm still unclear why people think this will materially affect the oil coming from the ground. All seem like very vague assertions.

I really cannot understand the logic of selling on this news, the operational plans won't be changed and the same sets of experts will still be employed. Will be baffled if market reacts that way. Meanwhile your posting is certainly helping to encourage it.

gorgeousgeorge, you have now posted the same news 5 times in 15 minutes, whilst trying to encourage people to panic about the share price somehow being affected. Looks like you are cynically trying to induce panic to get a low buy in on the back of a death? Weird.

Wiped out? Because Vision's CEO died? It's a big company. What a strange panic-strirring comment to make on the occasion of some sad news. Big companies carry on, don't see why the doom-mongering on the share price.

This place is horrendous
