No-one mentioning that this was just in auction for the last 25 mins?

"Sadly it was corked as it has taken much longer than we thought."

No disrespect intended by this Rodney, I just felt this is a pretty good metaphor for Solg! 🤣

I think it's our recent resident 6m share buyer who always seems to buy at auction. If you add up all of these big trades after close since Dec 15th, then it adds up to 30,379,619 shares which equates to exactly 1% of the current shares in issue. Might be clutching at straws here but this could be a new 1% shareholder here...

That's interesting DBW, I used to have an ISA in ii and recall the same, in my current esipp with different provider, you have to instruct them. Horses for courses!

If you hold shares through an ISA or esipp, then actually, you don't hold the shares, the institutions do, so you need to instruct them on your behalf. Drop them a secure message to instruct them.

Are there? Which big holders are dumping stock?

Are you referring to to the reverse publishing of Global X's continued accumulation from the 17th or something else?

Fort, this was definitely a buy at that time. The same has been done each night at 6m Volume since Monday 15th. Looks like someone's accumulating. 1 or 2 more purchases like this and we might see a new 1% plus holder.. Timing's interesting just prior to the deadline also...

Hello nedk, what a refreshing post to read given the usual vitriol here. If you look for the following RNS, you'll see the revised/current offer price from JCC:

12th Dec 2025 8:00 am RNS Joint Statement re Revised Possible Offer

Merry Christmas,

Swanley

Look at the date order WensleyMan - they're dated in reverse order. So, they're accumulating.

Addicknt - I wondered this too - here's what google says:

When a deadline specified by a rule, court order, or regulation (such as the 28-day "put up or shut up" rule under the Takeover Code or Civil Procedure Rule deadlines) falls on a bank holiday, the deadline is generally extended to the next working day.

This principle applies in several specific contexts:

Takeover Code (Rule 2.6): The 5:00 pm deadline on the 28th day for a potential bidder to announce a firm offer or withdraw is a key provision. The Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the Panel) can and often does consent to extensions of this deadline, especially if requested by the target company's board to allow for due diligence or negotiations to continue in good faith. The operation of the Code generally assumes that deadlines falling on non-working days would be treated similarly to court rules, extending to the next business day, though the Panel has ultimate discretion and can issue specific rulings.

I interpret that as a likelihood that we might see an extension until Monday 29th December as the next working day unless we hear something prior to midday on the 24th.

Our Boxing Day dinners might be saved after all!

"... the offer is 28p, an the sp is heading for 24p... what the fk is going on?

i most of us, small shareholders, are ****ed off with this dodgy offer, supported by bhp. i have forgotten about 30p and 40p, i just want the 28p , i'm happy with 28p actually, as this can go tits up, either way... 35p or 15p.... no confidence has been triggered already... shareholders are selling...."

Playing right into the Chinese's hands.

There's your answer Fort, L&G filled their boots on Friday.

Absolutely this NMM. It's not far-fetched at all. These are the big politics driving thie acquisition of Solg. It's all about resource and all about East Vs West now.

I definitely think there was some motivation like this Adieu.

Because the risk profile is still high: no environmental permit submitted or granted, no DFS, no CIPA.

Hello Padmaster - thanks for sharing the link. The article is inferring the CIPA announcement is imminent.

Cheers,

Swanley

Yeah I was surprised to see Aguinaga back on the latest RNS site plan.. I thought it wasn't up to much from previous exploration but perhaps the new metals price environment now makes it worthwhile?

An even larger UT today at 9.4m shares just 5 days later. Insert Guy Fawkes pun here!

"So we had 7.5m x 2 trades slipped in the other day at 16.5p. And today, we have a huge UT (I might be wrong but think that's the largest UT we've had in 3 years or since the merger).

End of month tidy up? Just where does this stock come from? Is SOLG the new FIAT of shares?

Have a spooky weekend all."

Fort, do you know what the requirements are to get promoted in the MSCI reviews? Currently SOLG has a mcap larger than a number of the FTSE 250 companies.
