To summarise - Oakwashy thinks he’s Warren Buffett.

There are someexcellent, extremely conscientious, well informed posters on here with expert knowledge of the mining industry (you know who you all are). Sadly your not one of these.

Next Friday.

It has been on said platform for the last couple of years.

Lovely ☺️- all the ducks 🦆 are lining up 😊.

That would have been a story to tell in casualty treestump, had the hot coffee spilt in the wrong area 🤨…lol…just trying to lighten the mood.

As someone said earlier true investors should not be worried.

I’m in from early 2021 at a good price and will wait until 2025/26 to even think about topslicing. By then the lithium will be in full production and the gold fields will all be further developed.

Let's not forget the deal getting across the line is also a Win, Win for the people of Mali and the government:

- Local jobs for local people

- Improvement of road, water, and electricity infrastructure in the area

- Promotion of Mali as being a country that is pro-mining and one that welcomes outside investment

- Lucrative for Mali from the % cut that they will receive

- Etc, etc..............................................................................

A few indicators that the deal is very, very, close.

Not my words or speculation, all referenced from todays RNS:

- The DMS plant design is close to completion, with procurement specifications finalised in readiness for the drawdown of the US$100 million funding package from Hainan, which remains subject to final regulatory approvals in Mali (as announced on 31 August 2023).

- Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals, remarked: "Kodal and Hainan continue to work closely together to finalise the major funding package as announced 19 January 2023 and significant progress is being made towards completion. Kodal and key Hainan representatives have met in Mali to meet with government officials and undertake site visits in preparation for the commencement of development.

- The development of Bougouni continues to receive strong support from Mali Government officials and within the local community, and the Company will be commencing the upgrade of local access roads in the coming weeks in preparation for major development activities to commence on site at Bougouni.

- Further bolstered by the already significant resource at Sogola-Baoulé which alone totals 12.2Mt @ 1.10% Li2O.

I don't know what the panic is all about and what a lovely surprise from Sogola-Baoulé - Kodal - the gift that keeps on giving.

It seems to be Kodal are prudently completing all the relevant due diligence work - better to do this correctly now, as opposed to storing up issues for further down the line (as other companies have done)!

It’s so close it’s TANTALISINGLY close - I can almost taste the Champagne 🥂 🍾

That’s what everyone here has been wanting - right?…and we’ve got that ✔️

Hainan and Kodal officials dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s with the Mali Government - to avoid a repeat of the problems Leo are experiencing - another tick ✔️

An RNS that details the work to be carried out with the funding ✔️

Why the panic?

Fresh blood on a Board of Directors is no bad thing.

RomanWolf,

I have been investing in stocks and shares for over 30 years - some stocks that people think might produce a dividend don't, and others that people don't expect to produce a dividend do.

The possibility of a future dividend cannot be ruled out.

Safe travels Painless,

In a few years time we can all go all out and holiday in the Maldives, Dubai and the like!

Maybe on income from dividends - i remember Bernard being asked about future share dividends a couple of years ago during an investmeetcompany presentation. He didn't rule them out!

Celle - Musings after drink (wry smile),

Fair play to you at 9am in the morning!

I'm just jealous as i can only get away with drinking this early on h/days.

James Cheek has previously worked for three of the worlds leading diagnostic companies. That is:

Cepheid - Revenue for 2022 - $4.3 Billion

Beckman Coulter - Revenue for 2022 - $4.7 Billion

Roache Diagnostics Division - Revenue for 2022 - $17.7 Billion

In roles within these companies he had extensive involvement in selling directly to the NHS. Additionally, his experience from being a Director of the British In Vitro Diagnostic Association (BIVDA) should prove invaluable, given this organisations close working relationships and previous collaborations with the NHS.

Looks like he's been headhunted!

Agreed Bighammer - this hasn't just happened overnight, the board have probably been planning the on this on the QT for a few months - maybe even since the last AGM as you allude to.

The RNS reads:

"James will take up the positions today and will succeed David Budd, who has notified the Company of his intention to step down from the role with immediate effect."

"Notified the Company of his intention to step down from the role" sounds like a resignation to me!

"James brings extensive commercial and operational experience at a senior level through a successful career with established diagnostic companies such as Cepheid, Beckman Coulter, and Roche Diagnostics, as well as serving as an executive board member of the British In Vitro Diagnostics Association (BIVDA)."

His ties with the BIVDA will also be useful going forward.

You won’t be posting for a few weeks - the best thing you’ve said for a very, very, long time.

Hallelujah 😊

Stocksaint - it’s quite ironic that after you have posted 82 messages on this board in the last month, that you freely admit to not being invested in, that you claim I need Psychiatric help - quite ironic really.

And for the record I hold stock in GDR as part of a well balanced portfolio. I’ve held for quite a while and have averaged down considerably. I can see the medium to long term potential of this stock and I am happy to hold. I haven’t lost a penny as I haven’t sold any GDR shares.

I’ll stop 🛑 posting about you Stocksaint/Starresnstoff when you stop polluting forums of shares your not invested in.

I've heard enough of you this week so i've posted some home truths on the BUR board.

Just calling a spade a spade.

As below:

Be careful around Stocksaint - previously known as Starresnstoff,

He’s a Walter Mitty style character who has been polluting the GDR board for months. He’s posted 89 messages in the last 30 days in said share that he openly admits not being invested in.

Sorry to disrupt the board with this important message.

Best wishes with all your respective investments.
