CTSFO I posted what is 2 faces of the same coin. Your valued Contribution is one, my post, the other. Your post cannot be viewed as anything but sound advice isasmuch as people need to be aware of what DP said. My view is DP said the Bare minimum, to avoid Share price taking off too soon. Personally I thought your post was Excellent.

ROCKFIRE are not a production Company, per se, they are by Example an Exploratory Company and again, by example, when they uncover valuable Asset`s Rock look to MINING Companies or other`s to join them in a JV deal or such like. Historical research tell`s you this in Block Capitals. Rock and any Company would be very unwise to Announce any Valuable find is immediately, "FOR SALE" unless they needed Cash, urgently. Rock have announced the BARE MINIMUM of information in relation to their Find. Any other suggestions of where ROCK go from here can only be conjecture based on What ROCK have done previously.

To infer Rock will sit on such a valuable commodity with a share price of a Fifth of a penny are IMHO miles wide of the mark, to say that ROCK will continue drilling for 6 months in reality? Good luck with that. What we as ROCK Investors will be fed is, "DEFLECTION"

For ROCK own reasons, they do not want the share price to rise on pure `Speculation`

Something I would NEVER discount is an Australian businessman being a WALKOVER, in other words, "David Price will play hard ball with any Mining Company or Hedge fund who paid Rock a visit, they would find a GAMBLER who knows he HOLDS A ROYAL FLUSH"

JORC is not the panacea, in current Circumstances of a WORLD SHORTAGE, even the whiff of GALLIUM/GERMANIUM/ANTIMONY is enough to force Interested parties to get the Cheque book out. After all WE ARE NOT TALKING BIG MONEY for anything ROCK have, we are talking BUTTONS for Potentially MANY MANY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, take it or leave it.

An Intraday RNS would not be unusual here in ROCK. Underlining what many have already said, "Impatience at this point, could be suicidal"

I like the spread MM keep on ROCK it keeps Traders away. Nothing to be made here buying and selling with such spread.

Personally I think ROCK have already sat down with prospective Bidders in whatever Capacity those Bidders are, Buy Greek licences in part or in total. The Silence I think suggests this even allowing for the Holiday break. Work on the JORC continued and yet we have heard nothing. Granted these things do not happen over night, but some Statement is overdue, which leads me to think the Next Statement will outline ROCK Sale of Whatever % of whatever their next move is. I Fervently believe David Price will want to DENY CHIOS LICENCE to anybody, should the rumours of Rock getting the green light be anywhere near the truth. I Further believe David Price has been a busy little BEE and he KNOWS ANTIMONY is in Existence within the GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF CHIOS. Whilst Germanium/Gallium are sought after, rare Earth Minerals, Antimony is the holy grail. Hugely expensive and extremely RARE.

The prospects of ROCK Spending 18 Months or 2 years putting together the infrastructure to commence Commercial Mining is Financially impossible, raising the Necessary Capital ?? impossible. It makes perfect sense to wait and Establish just how much Antimony MAY be in Chios, then sell to Highest Bidder. ROCK are NOT Commercial Miners, merely exploration EXPERTS. Find and let others work for us in JV`s sounds good to me.

Earlier spread told you MM`s were aware that CHURN was about to continue.

I think we are at or very close to the end of this placing churn. FOMO Friday coming up

All ducks lined up for the ROCKET RNS , within DAYS.

Trump Son is still in Greenland. Musk has been talking Rare Earth Minerals in USA.

Pertinent Question asked elsewhere today, "Where does Rockfire Resources share price go if Trump Plane lands in Greece? Or In the event Elon Musk visits Greece ??"

If Trump wants to buy Greenland, it is easy. Give every Greenlander a $1 Million thats $57 BILLION That my friends is a THIRD of what USA Gave to Ukraine

That is a Post on X Not 10 Minutes ago. ROCKFIRE has risen in value recently and if the SURVEYS TURN out to be even Half of Estimates, ROCKFIRE could set many records on its way to the HEAVENS. £4 Billion for Greek Mining leases would be INTERESTING.

Somebody would need to grab a TIGER BY THE TAIL.

JC21 Makes a splendid point. TRUMP is not yet in the hot seat and he has his SON on a plane to Greenland with a negotiating team for Rare Earth metals.

Somebody will already be in touch with ROCK, What we have is potentially worth BILLIONS $$$$$$$ SILENCE IS GOLDEN THEY SAY.

Otl My thoughts also, incidentally. Within Days is my Guess. Work did not stop over Holiday period, Hellenic Minerals affairs will have a straightforward explanation eventually, no doubt some sort of T/O of Greece assets in part or in Total. Even a JV 90/10% with a cosy CASH ELEMENT. Not forgetting Australia, we might well be looking at 2-3p Share price soon.

imho I think David Price has found a desperate buyer who will pay FULL ASKING PRICE

It is From just before Christmas. I said at the time Rock were putting all their eggs in one basket in order to expedite a sale, possibly.

OTL Subtlety not your strong point.

Somebody else`s problem. The way I see it.

March ?? China has cut USA adrift in a little boat and no oars and you think March ??

Most powerful/Richest Nation will wait on Chinese pleasure? RNS next week

Then Hockey stick

CHIOS is the next Venture for Rockfire exploratory Genius. The Forbes article adequately explains the value of Antimony in so aspects of Today`s World.

Rockfire is already pencilled in as the Favoured Mining Company to extensively Drill Exploration Holes in Chios, if credible rumours in Greece Mining Community are to be believed. This is Obviously all down to the "TRUST THAT ROCK & David Price have developed within the Greek Government" FORBES Article Highlights the Urgency surrounding World`s need for another supply of Antimony.

ROCK will have NO Shortage of Partners in Exploring CHIOS. Funds will NOT be an issue.

Forbes Article is OLD, it was urgent then, Now it is Panic Stations.

Strong Buy for me, but dyor. No Rush, Hockey Stick will just be the start.

Antimony, The most explosive element on Earth. Used by Egyptians as Eye Make up, KOHL.

Bottom line, Greece DEBT Mountain is crippling. Everything we are seeing is designed to Improve the DEBT Situation for Greece Government and in turn improve the quality of life for all Greek Residents. Rockfire and David Price must be seen as Saviours by Greek Government and the ready acceptance of Rock Mining activities points directly to that fact.

David Price has seen something else in Greece and wants to move on, but he needs Money as bad as Greece. This is a Partnership that will deliver MASSIVE RETURNS. I see a HOCKEY STICK rise in Rock share price, a Substantial rise within a very short space of time, measured in Weeks. Whether you buy now or later, the prospects remain, FABULOUS.

ROCK have simply put all their eggs in one Basket. Should any suitor show up with right Offer the next step would be, "Who owns the mining rights and licences, followed by Due Diligence"

All is much faster now that everything is in One Company, Rock.

VERY Fact David Price put all this into being in June 2022 tells you that he Knew something was coming even then. Remembering China did not put Restrictions in place until Aug 2023.

Tiger is very astute thinking a number of suitors have been lined up, I see no reason to doubt his thoughts. Whatever happens next is NO spur of the moment event, it has been Years in the planning.

5085 Your summary is 100% accurate, and as Tiger has often suggested, Rock have what could be Multiple suitors Discussing the way forward. That from 19/12/24 would signify Complete Ownership of Mining rights and licences by ROCK subsidiary, Hellenic.

In order to expedite any SALE of Mining Rights. Greece is in Desperate need of Cash.

JAN 2025 Rock sale of the century. Happy New Year.

Highlights?? USA had 2 weeks supply OF Gallium/Germanium in Sept 2024, say Analyst`s.

China has an advantage because the Mining is done by Slave Labour.

Most Analysts originally said the cost to GDP was $3.4 Bn This updated version says $8.2 Bn

Finally; Look at the Date and the Author. Panic Station`s from where I sit.

Utah

China banned sale of these minerals to the U.S. It matters to all of us

Announced ban will likely impact production of disc brakes, armor-piercing bullets, protective coatings

KEY POINTS

China has blocked the sale of gallium, germanium, antimony, and super-hard minerals to the United States in response to the Biden administration’s efforts to block sales of advanced chips to China.

China is the world’s largest source of these critical minerals used in commerce and national defense applications.

Much of the U.S. shortfall is not due to a scarcity of such minerals, but rather, government regulations that make it increasingly difficult to mine them.

This is another example of an unhealthy codependent relationship in which walking away is hard, if not downright, difficult.

In this case, it is the United States that is grappling with the sudden announcement that China would no long export to this country vital elements that include gallium, germanium, antimony and other super hard materials.

They are dual use products. Several of them are used in the manufacture of advanced superconductors and in military applications — such as armored piercing rounds and military explosives.

Report ad

While Utah boasts the first mine in the world to harvest gallium and germanium, the Apex Mine in Washington County operated intermittently from 1884 to 1962, reopened and is now idled.

The Utah Geological Survey says none of these banned materials are mined in Utah. In fact, China remains the largest source of these vital elements. China currently provides 54% of the U.S.’s germanium needs, a key component in infrared technology and fiber optics. Gallium, used in semiconductors, has not been mined in the U.S. since 1987. The U.S. Geological Survey said it is believed that the vast majority of gallium is used in smartphones and other computer devices, while more than half the germanium is used in infrared optics and fiber optics.

Why the ban?

The Institute for Energy Research says it is simple.

The Biden-Harris administration expanded its curbs on technology to China by prohibiting the sale of certain types of chips and machinery and adding 140 Chines
