Hey Laxey, I've been busy today and missed the fun and we are back down to where we started the day unsurprisingly. What today has shown is two things from my perspective: 1. How quickly this share moves when news is suspected/sentiment returns 2. That the strategy seems to include a JV for Mandiana "...The Board continues to develop its plans for the business, as well as seeking a partner to advance the Company's Mandiana gold project in Guinea..." Note the "as well as" comment. Happy days ahead hopefully. Should do well on formal news being received. Good luck

Final year results came out on the 22nd April last year so I am guessing that they will be released in the next few eeks. Hopefully that will give us an insight into what is/has been happening. Good luck all.

Maybe we will be shooting gold discs out of the sky! Good luck all. Nice to see a pick up in interest.

Will we be in the pennies or pounds? Good luck all.

Any reason for the slight rise?

Good to see you are all still here and thanks for the responses. I am still holding too and whilst I am happy to hold, given the potential here, I do get a little frustrated when deadlines of news are given and not met (i.e. and update in weeks), particularly from a new board (doesn't exactly instil confidence/trust as far as I am concerned!) Oh well, the news when it does arrive can only be positive in my opinion and should result in a forward plan/view and an increase in value. Here's hoping for a JV of some sort and a substantial increase is sp as a result of value recognition. Good luck all.

Well, that would be interesting and would result in a significantly higher share price than what we have today. Time for news now, 'weeks' since the last RNS have now passed. Come on BoD let us know what is happening. Whilst accepting an RTO can take months (probably 3 months minimum), they could give us an update, which is what they promised in the last RNS. Cesar, laxey et al. Are you all still holding? Good Luck All

The thing about stories about gold is that even people who have no alleged interest keep coming back and taking a peek to see how the story is unfolding. Hopefully news soon, and we will then know what the future holds. Good Luck All

Vienna, putting aside the giggle bothers for a minute...what are your expectations when news does arrive?. That is a lot of gold in the ground and a hefty dollar figure for a Mcap that we currently have. Steve

Thanks Jay. At least it's a sign he is still alive! Great potential here and I trust JM to complete the RTO. Would be good to restart trading again soon in excess of 1.5p which I think is entirely possible. Good luck all

Shame we didn't start trading this morning given all the press coverage!

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/feb/15/cancer-extraordinary-results-t-cell-therapy-research-clinical-trials Even more hopeful was researcher Chiara Bonini, who said she has not seen remission rates like those of recent trials in over 15 years. “This is really a revolution,” she said. “T-cells are a living drug, and in particular they have the potential to persist in our body for our whole lives.” Good luck all.

I wish they would finish their crisp sarnies and give us an update! In my world, an update "within the coming weeks", means within 4 'weeks'. Not 2 'months'! If you set expectations you should meet them. Bought another half a million ish today, not showing on lse though. Good luck all.

What kind of nice big surprise? I would settle for some news at this point.

Thanks Vienna, My thoughts too. The new board said news in a few weeks. We are reaching that point now so hopefully we won't have to wait long to learn our fate. I am expecting a positive outcome. Good luck Steve

1. SMA goes solo and progesses Mandiana 2. SMA agrees JV to progress Mandiana 3. SMA sells Mandiana and receives royalty payment 4. SMA sells Mandiana outright and becomes cash shell - RTO follows 5. SMA fails and we all lose our cash Most likely outcome IMO, either option 3 or 4. Anyone else have any alternatives?

Why is it that when anyone posts anything remotely positive, or even neutral, you come along and post a negative? You have previously admitted to having some issues with Mr Pearl and whilst I don't know the ins and outs, I can kind of understand how this would lead you to post negatively on the BB. However, Mr Pearl is no longer involved here. What concerns do you now have with the new BoD that causes you to continue with the negativity? Genuine questions

Sums up the situation nicely in my opinion. Post rec. And thanks for the response on VELA. Good luck all

SMA has financed and managed the building of a preliminary JORC-compliant inferred maiden gold resource of 610,000 ounces of gold at its flagship Manadiana gold project where a relatively small amount of drilling consisting of only 16,880 metres has tested only 10 per cent of the potential strike gold project of the gold mineralising system. SMA also has two other compelling early-stage gold exploration projects in guinea called Dalagna and Marela. Sovereign Mines of Guinea is ultimately owned 75% by Sovereign Mines of Africa plc and 25% by SOGUIPAMI, the Guinea Government Mining Representative.
