Great news, great day, Robbie is a good man, and the assets here are huge.
Back to basics as people have been saying, sensible low cost stripping and mining, weekly gold pours.....and the rest will sort itself out. Such a low market cap still. Soooooo much to look forward to!
Keep up the great work GCAT!!!!
I agree. They are forcing the price down as there is a loan note/warrant seller who keeps dumping stock every day IMO.
They must have nearly finished. When they do, it will coincide with first gas and then the stock will climb back up. I disagree with the few negative comments on this board. I think this will be a solid earner, and just like UJO they will just keep on saying how much money has come in and it will grow and grow. Its a keeper.
Everything with the FCA is taking months not weeks at the moment. These delays are everywhere. I am waiting on 3 scenarios like this and each one has been 1-2 months later than we were told. Just have to be patient as irritating as that is.
When the Maiden JORC comes this share will move to next level big time.
So undervalued. A massive resource.
This is my number 1 stock in my portfolio for potential upside.
Could comfortably move through to 20-30 million market cap by year end. Even then it would be undervalued compared to its peers. Occasionally you get hidden gems on Aquis. Here is one of them and they are about to hit the big time and right now they are so under the radar. Come on Altona!!!
The shares will cease trading on Aquis (thank God) at the end of day today before the move to the LSE Main list!! Get them before they pop on relisting! Such a cheap entry point. Crazy low market cap and an amazing asset that should be valued by the market at list 5 times where we are now imo. Just compare all this to other rare earth stocks in the UK markets.
'Altona Rare Earths Plc (AQSE: ANR.PL), a mining exploration company focused on the development of a significant Rare Earth Elements mining project in Africa, today provides an update further to the announcement of 10 March 2023 where the Company stated it expected admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange (“Admission”) would take place at 8.00 a.m. on Monday 20 March 2023. The Company is still working with its advisers to finalise its prospectus for approval by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and therefore Admission will not take place on the expected date. A further update will be provided once the date of Admission, currently expected to be towards the end of March 2023, is confirmed.
The Company also confirms that, as a first step in the transition process to the London Stock Exchange, its shares will cease trading on the AQSE Growth Market (“AQSE”) at 4.30 p.m. on Friday 17 March.'
With Jim Mellon being a big player here and him having taken a lot of stock at 28p and 35p in previous fundraisings, i am hoping we at least get offers in above those levels. I think its fair to have confidence that there is relatively good upside to be made here by getting in to Condor at this share price.

ALTONA RARE EARTHS PLC
("Altona" or "the Company")
£2.0m Fundraise
Proposed Admission to Main Market and Withdrawal from AQSE
Altona Rare Earths Plc (AQSE: ANR.PL), a mining exploration company focused on the development of a significant Rare Earth Elements ("REE") mining project in Africa, today announces the Company has raised £2.0 million via an oversubscribed placing of £1,720,800 (the "Placing") and a subscription of £279,200 through the issue of 40 million new ordinary shares at 5 pence ("Issue Price") per share ("the Fundraise"). The Company announced on 2 February 2023 that it was seeking to raise £1.25 million in new capital.
The Fundraise is conditional on, inter alia, the proposed admission of its entire ordinary share capital to the Official List (by way of Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission").
The intended use of funds will include the completion of Altona's maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate and a Scoping Study for the Company's flagship asset, Monte Muambe Rare Earths mining project ("Monte Muambe"), in northwest Mozambique, which is expected to be published in May 2023. This will enable the Company to increase its holding in Monte Muambe Mining Lda (which owns 100% of Monte Muambe) from 20% to 51%. The funds will also be used to repay certain creditors and general working capital purposes.
Subject to the approval of the Company's prospectus by the FCA, Admission is expected to become effective, and dealings in the Company's ordinary shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. GMT on 20 March 2023, under the new ticker: "REE".
The Company will make a further announcement once FCA approval of the prospectus has been received.
Buzzcoin, isn't that 212k in lieu of monies owed to the Directors?
I think its a clever way to pay them what they are owed without using up a precious chunk of cash.
I am down 95% on my investment here. So i am hoping for the best. That 212k is a good thing, and should be viewed that way imo.
Doubt it. next week would be my guess. A company wont rush into putting out an RNS without extensive discussion with the board and lawyers. They want to get this more than right. They don't need to rush now as it's suspended. My guess would be mid next week.
Yup. £4million market cap is ridiculous.
When the dust settles this will multi bag.
Brilliant asset (s). And what ever the ounce per month number is, this is a gold producer that an investment company has just lent US$ 1 Million to. They did their due diligence and wouldn't take a risk. Follow the money. I bought in again today. Bargain basement pricing.
Quite right Mickey!
Good to have a positive post amongst the daily de-ramping we have to endure from a couple of posters who just won’t stop bashing this company.
Happy Friday!!!
I agree Mickey. All good news from now. Step by step. Great price to top up. Go GCAT!!
What financial peril Legalwolf?
The money that is being raised is to expand the mining operations and to then raise output.
As we know from previous announcements re ounces mined in the last 2 quarters and the cost of mining those ounces in previous statements, there is a healthy amount of cash flow and a decent margin as their AISC is actually quite good.
Yes you are totally free to post whatever you want.
But it is so negative.
There is a great asset here and once funding is sorted this will take off.
This is so undervalued it’s a steal at this price.
Once all the gossip, doom mongering and general negativity has been cleared this will move much higher.
It’s been the perfect storm here, but the clouds will clear.
I have now bought in 11 times and am still holding.
Why should the board say anything at the moment? Every time they do they get punished rightly or wrongly.
Let’s leave them alone to get on with it.
Raising money is hard at the best of times and a slow process. We almost had it sorted. And we wouldn’t have almost had it sorted if this wasn’t a stunning asset and a lot of gold in the ground near surface. It would not have got to midnight if this wasn’t the real deal.
Let’s calm down with the constant daily negative posting.
This was in an October RNS re pre payment for the lithium: 'The second tranche of US$2.5 million is anticipated to be advanced in Q1 2023 once the first sales have been made by the Company to Southern Jade Resources Pty Limited'
If this is true, then why do we need to raise and create such dilution now? Maybe i am missing something. But this raise announced today in repeated tranches at 3.75 p will hold this back for some time IMO.

JORC COMPLIANT EXPLORATION TARGET ESTIMATE
HIGHLIGHTS THE GLOBALLY SIGNIFICANT SIZE AND GRADE POTENTIAL
OF
MONTE MUAMBE RARE EARTHS DEPOSIT
Altona (AQSE: ANR.PL), a mining exploration company focused on the evaluation, acquisition and development of Rare Earth Elements (“REE”) mining projects in Africa, announces that it has completed a significant milestone, where the Company has estimated an Exploration Target of up to 56.6 million tonnes at up to 1.65% Total Rare Earth Oxide (“TREO”) (in compliance with JORC1 2012) based on its ongoing exploration work.
This estimate is ahead of the publication of a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate, which is on track for Q1 2023 and it is Altona’s first independent review of the drilling results to measure both the estimated size of the resource and average grade.
HIGHLIGHTS
-Estimated total tonnage of up to 56.6 million tonnes at 1.65% TREO
-Including 11.5 million tonnes at 2.41% TREO, corresponding to a well-defined high-grade zone
-Monte Muambe on track to become a significant, high value project
-Maiden Resource Estimate expected publication date - Q1 2023 and,
-The project’s Preliminary Economic Assessment by Q2 2023
Amazing. This looks like a monster deposit indeed! So under the radar this company.
I am sure these results today will ensure a smooth and successful move to the main LSE list.
Can't wait for more news. Cant believe there hasn't been a single share trade today, on news this good? Bonkers.
I have 10% of my portfolio in this one. Its going to be a mega win over the coming few years. Strong Buy. Check out the RNS on Aquis anyone who hasn't read it.
I think it has all the ingredients to really fly.
I am also in Rainbow Rare Earths market cap £76 million, and Mkango market cap £40 million.
Yes they are both so much more advanced than Altona, but the potential here to grow from a market cap of only £3.6 million is very clear to me.
The move to LSE main list will be truly transformative as buying on Aquis is expensive, with limited trading access, and a pain. But i am very happy with my holding and have bought 3 times in the past 6 months.
Surely this one has to be a winner, right?
I expect it to move comfortably to a market cap of £10 million in the coming months even without any more substantial news.
Moving to main list later this month and today releasing these brilliant drilling results! Its a buy!

I think there has been a seller for months who had a lot of equity in the vehicle used to go to market at 'readmission'.
This selling bears no reflection to the prospects of GCAT and is completeley unrelated to newsflow and events.
Its someone with a large position that was locked in for a long time who wants to cash out.
I took a small stake in the business at readmission and have now bought 6 times since.
This is a screaming buy. And so undervalued. When market sentiment turns, and this seller is finished, this will climb significantly. Hold on and keep adding IMO.
ALTONA RARE EARTHS PLC

LSE LISTING UPDATE
Altona (AQSE: ANR), a Rare Earths mining company focused on the discovery and development of rare earth mine projects in Africa, is pleased to update shareholders following the FCA’s Policy Statement PS21/22 (“Policy Statement”), issued on 2 December 2021.
As a result of the Policy Statement, from 3 December 2021, all companies seeking to list premium or standard listed shares must have a minimum market capitalisation (“MMC”) of at least £30 million, increased from the previous threshold of £700,000.
However, as Altona has already made a completed submission to FCA for a listing eligibility review prior to the publication of the Policy Statement, the Company is able to take advantage of the transitional provisions in the Policy Statement (“Transitional Provisions”). Under the Transitional Provisions, companies can apply for a listing based on the previous MMC of £700,000 provided they have applied to list by 2 June 2023.
Altona is therefore continuing with its application for admission to the Official List (by way of Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) and to trading on the ’s Main Market for listed securities (“Admission”), which it hopes to complete in the first quarter of 2022.
The Company further announces that it has appointed Novum Securities Limited as its Financial Adviser for the Admission process.
