Bozi is probably the only person on the planet that thinks professional mining experts would spend close to half a billion dollars on something that's uneconomical.

Just a guess but this probably would of been mothballed a long time ago if it was uneconomical

Yet he we are funded to dfs and half of the mine development costs up front.

Someone needs to tell Franco and osisko they have got it wrong.

Out of courtesy we should probably should tell bhp, nnm, Chinese government and the Norwegian government ......because Bozi says its uneconomical :-)

Add, I think it's a fair grasp on the situation.

I think it was 4-5% who voted for pachakutik and they are opposed to all extraction.

In 2021 they didn't endorse either of the run off electorates after narrowly missing out on the run off to Lasso.

This opened the door to Lasso.

In the more recent 2023 election they gave the backing to Gonzalez although the parties history is less than perfect.

Major, save your breath.

Bozi is the type of person who'd pay for a 1st class seat on a flight and then spend the whole time telling you that the plane has been poorly constructed and that its sure to come crashing down any moment.

Pbow ,

You say that Pachakutik paety haven't endorsed either of the run off candidates, this will mean both are pro mining.

Or is that reading between the lines to much?

Where on twitter IP?

In 2021 they didn't back either party handing it to Lasso and in 2023 they did although there influence was much less.

Whole law to vote and they get good turnouts it doesn't stop people not voting.

Looking at the run off last time the voting increased so who knows.

Up in the air if you ask me and the tree huggers have faded ( not gone) since 2021 which is good for the mining sector

And yet we still linger at 7p???

Protest against the usual parties, like you say indigenous people population.

Still see the offer of dealing with security as the biggest factor for people.

Would the indigenous people vote for either of the run off parties, personally I dont see it.

Fair enough pbow.

I actually see it that the 2nd round has less votes which cancels out most of the pachakutik ( protest vote)

Morning pbow, I don't recall either party making any promises to the pachakutik party in the previous run off?

Theme will be probably be on the grounds on responsible mining and stopping illegal mining?

Thanks Adieu , let's hope it's settled in the first round.

Onto the 2nd qtr and things should start ramping up here.

Gold and copper flying and our second round of funding to come.

AIPA and some geo informatioms and hopefully we are in a much better place.

The main of our business is funded.

While I don't disagree with what your saying I also think rasing funds in the last few years was not an easy ask.

Is it possible would could jv some of the tenements?

I feel that disappointment too and will be a difficult one to get past come the end of the year.

Johnny,

Good points which are well made and spot on.

Bozi makes his points to suit his view.

He mentions that view may change in this boring period without highlighting the position solg are in regarding the FN funding.

We are funded and have no need to panic as long as we progress.

Why would cgp look for a cheap exit in the next 2 years?

Maybe your right RR, but that's for the people of Ecuador to worry about.

Im just here for a fair price for a tier 1 asset.

I doubt attitude of Nick has changed that much since we are funded to dfs and permitting stage with half of our mine coasts lined.

All our current board need to do is tick all the boxes.

Never been in a better position in the last 11 years yet somehow we are led to believe the overall position is negative.

It sounds like someone is trying to whip away our asset for a pittance.

What like they did at Noront?

The only way they du that here is if our board allow it.

The question is, are they behind a move to low ball solg and get it sold?

I see other small caps reacted positively last week and the likes of omi and ggp around Dec 22 prices.

That would put us in the 15-20p range.

Why are we not moving and doing the necessary to make that happen.

We need positive news here

Johnny,

Wasn't it a different team led by Nick at the time of the bhp offer.

I doubt the main players put in as much of their own money (% wise) as some of the small retail investors here?

Much easier to accept a low ball in such a scenario.

I'd hate this to be true especially with Sean selling Scott as an honourable man and the solg buttering in London recently.

Dbw, let's say the group email is needed and not used because the administrator doesn't deem it important or to his/her benefit?

Inhabe no objections to the email but just want a bit more transparency.

Hopefully that will come but like all things solg it seems to be wishful thinking.

Hi Rondey

I like the idea of the solg shareholder group but with it being anonymous and with no means to communicate with each other how can we realistically be sure that you or anyone else sending the emails has our best interests in mind.

Not a dig but don't want to waste anyone's time here.

A group should have a couple of trusted admins and verified users for it to be effective.

This could be done by various means.

At the moment an email asking me to vote anyway is just as likely as me believing something on lse.

Just my view
