While we wait for rocket emojis and that famous 55p prediction (i think it will happen) ...... I thought i might share my own personal SOLGOLD journey to pass the time and take our minds off some of the name calling on this, once great and informative Board.

I looked back through my records and have decided I might just be a "long Tern Holder" - should i be proud of THat?

04.11.13 My 1st Purchase at 13.065p

31.12.14 My lowest Purchase at 3.00p

Oh we love a good bid Rumour.

“If i had a pound for every SOLG rumour since i first bought in 2011 “ ……. i would probably have been dumb enough to invest it all in SOLG..

But something does feel different these past few weeks and i have been buying (again).

Skint.

Ditto

Took me years to figure this out - and today is a good example.

When invested in a share (say a few months) and researching / reading everything you can find ....... it is natural to assume that "game changing news" will do exactly that. And the price will instantly run away (insert your own rocket symbols in here)

The truth is that we are a very small club of EEE Private Investors and while we recognise the significance of every recent RNS (like today) - it takes a while for those not following EEE to catch on. We need a few news cycles, interviews and the likes of "The Fool" to bang the drum and alert the hoards. A mention in the Sunday papers works well too...!

Still a fantastic result today and 18% - 20% is not to be sniffed at - I am expecting a few days of decent rises now as others join in.

Long and strong

Skint.

The best RNS message I have ever read.

The obvious excitement, language used and sheer scale - are off the charts.

Such great news they obviously couldn't wait to get it out there.

I am no geologist and at first thought this was just a more technical summary of “what LTH already knew”.

But it is far more than that. As Shaun says -

Shaun Bunn, Managing Director, said: "This is a game changing development for Empire and one which is expected to accelerate timescales and further enhance the economics of Pitfield.

“Game changer” - even after so many RNS messages and drill results explaining the quality and scale of Pitfield.

concerns on how to release the Titanium from rock - “gone”, as mother nature has already done a vast amount of the work - enough for multiple years selling the surface dioxide ore, while building the rock processing kit for the deeper stuff.

My biggest holding by value since first of many purchases in November (including a top up at around 4pm yesterday) - i am looking forward to this “Game changer” climbing much higher.

Skint

But not for much longer.

Wow that’s a big one…..!

The UT today was a whopping £131m followed shortly after by a £12m late reported.

Pounds - not shares.

Think we will be getting a TR1 on Monday

Roll on Monday.

Nice to see a steady rise last week and continuing this week.

I know the company is very well run and profitable (long tern holder) ....... but I cannot help thinking this recent surge is powered 100% by Football fans stocking up for the Euros. As always - Scotland will get kicked out after the group stage - but in that time we will have a blast, drink Germany dry, make international friends and .......clear the shelves of Irn Bru.

The great football related adverts from the company must be helping as well.

From his statement about SYME - it looks like AZ and the CEO of this “P Diddy” company were made for each other.

Can you imagine being stuck between these 2 “bingo lingo speakers” for 6 hours at a black tie table?

Skint.

I don’t like the issue of new shares.

Even with this share where there are so many (a really stupid amount) of shares in issue.

But i read this RNS as positive on 2 counts.

Unless I am missing something.

1. AZ has exchanged a loan value for new shares at a price of 0.00053 each. I make this to be 62% higher than last nights close of 0.000327. If correct - does that not show confidence his new shares will soon be ‘in the money”?

2. In a similar manner. Exchanging “real cash debt” for paper shares and “future reward” - i think, shows confidence. SYME shareholders, while not happy about dilution - now do need need to worry about paying back the cash and servicing the interest on the loan amount. Is that not also a good thing?

I may just have woken up in a good mood - but i see this RNS as a positive to SYME

Ps - i cannot wait until they consolidate this share at something like 10,000 to 1 - so we can tell at a glance if the shares cost £1…… 1p ……. or …0.00053 of 1p

That was such a welcome RNS this morning.

I first bought OMI around 6 or 7 years ago - and without my notes - i think it was 3p then.

Bought and sold all the way up to a smidge under 40p (twice) but held on for 56p (Don’t ask me why but i had reasons).

Having been 80% plus down for months - it is a great feeling to take these back out the Bottom Drawer again.

Doubled my holding today and reduced my average. Long way to go but i am in no rush.

Ps

When it hits 40p can someone remind me to sell please?

£111k profit - but i will probably still struggle to press “sell”.

Skint

That was a pleasant read - and a surprise.

I have been in small exploration miners where news like this - moved the needle considerably up.

It is so quiet on here and (IMHO) GSCU are so “under the radar” i can’t help wondering if anyone will notice.

Fingers crossed though

Skint

Has GRG become “so good” that an RNS with such great numbers and a special divi of 40p - isn’t commented upon?

A great update RNS today (IMHO)

I have a decent GRG holding built up in recent years. In the new ISA year i intend to load up again

Don’t really see any downside with GRG - it is very well managed, growing, profitable, pays staff a bonus, pays special dividends, (not share buy backs) and opening new sales channels like evening, delivery, drive through and retail partners.

A key metric for me (even though i live in Sunny Glasgow) is “London potential”

Pret a Manger has 275 shops in London.

Greggs has only 40 - but expanding in key high footfall locations. And that is “high footfall” in 2024 - not busy locations pre covid. They are cherry picking and able to get great spots in London and throughout the UK.

When was the last time you saw a Greggs without a queue?

Skint

I have a picture in my head of the troops in SOLG Towers sitting at a console of buttons going something like.....

"let's see what happens if we press this button and release an RNS with revised PFS........... anything happen to the share price?"

ok

"lets try this button marked ..... "announce 2 new Directors........anything happen to the share price?"

ok

Is there a button that says "remind the whole world how fantastic we are at ESG, ..... when did we last press that one?

Maybe they cannot see the "we got it sold" button because of the number of Biscuits on the table.

Been in SOLG so long (2014) and cannot remember if it was SOLG, Rockhopper or Gulf Keystone where the Bulletin board went on about Hamsters down the drill hole and biscuits.

But we were happy back then. Tell that to the kids today and they wont believe you.

Skint

Old enough to spot a wee diddy when i see one.

correcting what someone says within minutes, to prove you know better is ….. small Boaby behaviour.

try it next time you are round a table in a pub. It won’t go down well.

A quick glance at your posts shows you like to dish out opinions and hurl insults - well jog on and don’t call me ‘mate’

i don’t need any more friends.

skint

Thanks Wolfy.

Every board needs a Pedant.

I posted exactly what LSE were showing 2 inches higher up on the screen.

Now showing as 12%

If you had time to try a dummy trade - or access to Level 2 - you could simply have provided more up to date info - without putting me down.

skint

Chances of two blue days in a row were always slim.

But a spread of 25% is brutal - and will stop us dead unless it is reduced.

Nobody buys to be 25% down instantly - it usually takes me at least 2 days to be 25% down….!

Skint

A new Personal best for me.

A streak of 28 filtered posts - then 2 from Redknight.

wonderful feeling to know i missed - nothing and saved myself from reading - mince.

Wonder if this week will be a turning point for Solg. I started averaging down again last week at 10.38 bringing my average down to 15. Held for far too long not to see this through.

skint

Plenty to like in that.

Love the suggestion that we will start drilling - soon.

Just hope that GSCU definition of “soon” is not the same as SOLG

Hopefully onwards and upwards

Skint

Oh well…… i think in our hearts most of us knew it was a dying duck.

I suspect that for all but a few - it “fell too fast to get out” and any money left in was a “shot to nothing” and not worth pulling. It still hurts though when any loss is crystallised.

On the plus side - it will not drop any lower today and if they do find investment (that doesn’t want to invest after administration) we could be back in the game.

Skint (and now a bit more skint).

It took me 4 attempts to speller :TheWalrus right on order to active the filters - but well worth the effort _ with 30 (yes 30) posts filter today.

Well worth the effort
