All just games until rns tells us something concrete. Meanwhile enjoy the weather. TP

Well we`ve seen it all before have`nt we but ever hopeful.

In many respects we`re lucky here. Thousands of companies have been brought to their knees through COVID19 through no fault of their own. Our geographical location has helped in that regard. The worlds governments have now figured that simply switching off whole economies for months on end is not feasible so a slow return to normality is occurring . We perhaps are better placed than many. A harsh reality of this tragedy!
TP

Tier 1, Tier 2, how much does it actually matter ? PMO coughed up for the drill and collectively we found nothing.
They walked almost before the drill bit stopped turning. We were left with hot air and gas, something DW is rather familiar with I think.

"EIGHT months! You can be on "death row" in the USA for twenty years. There`s a thought!
TP

Pranchalee, you must be one of the very few here sitting on evens. Have`nt personally had the funds to average down and not sure i would if i did but sure you`ll see a healthy profit from this level. Not convinced I`ll be doing likewise, I`ll settle for money back from where we are currently.
TP

Let`s hope we can do the same in the space of a week then all those who invested at 14p on the back of misinformation will be able to recoup nearly 10% of their original outlay. I was`nt one of them my average is under 7p but getting rather sick of hearing about"potential"
TP

Looks nice but spread bigger than rise.

Phrontist,
Many thanks for posts over the last couple of days. The clarity and balanced viewpoint you bring to the table make a pleasant change. And MW for the follow up.
On a different note , Islayman, delighted to hear you are back home safe and well. Hope you have the strength to raise a wee dram!
TP

I was`nt aware that "current market sentiment" regarding this share was particularly upbeat!
please elaborate?
TP

Its simply time that some of huge potential of which you speak and which is inferred to via rns was transferred into genuine sp gain for long suffering shareholders, otherwise we are just another "jam tomorrow" AIMer and there`s no shortage of those.
Patience as ever is a necessity.
TP

Slightly strange decision to invest 32k in a company you did`nt believe would bring home the bacon.
I`m sure we all share your disappointment though.
TP

Not sure that they necessarily have put the cart before the horse in proving up the resource.
I think it became obvious despite initial GC bull#### that what we actually had was a bombed out mine with no viable infrastructure and no reliable water supply.
In order to lure potential partners and their cheque books to the table we needed a comprehensive jorc to define the working life of the mine, thus insuring investment. As well as someone at the helm who knew about mining!
The so called Trading Arm was initiated I assume to try and provide ongoing operational funding but its success or otherwise remains a mystery.
Who the potential investors are and at what point we are in negotiations is anyones guess. As you correctly point out the "imminent" tie up to provide a pipeline seems a distant memory.
Of one thing I`m absolutely certain, whatever happens you and I will be the last to know.
Anyway rain has temporarily stopped play here in West Dorset so I`m stuck indoors.
Stay safe.

The "Trading Arm" is another running joke that is frankly becoming rather tedious.
We`re told it exists but not what it trades ( we assume Ta but we dont produce any) or with whom or how much for.
Its not uncommon in this industry to have confidentiality agreements , that I accept. However this is a plc and has a duty to inform shareholders of anything operational that materially impacts on sp.
The usual mantra of "ongoing negotiations" is frankly a load of waffle.
The time for some hard facts and figures has arrived but I fear my musings will fall on deaf ears as always.
TP

The trouble being that anyone who had invested 10k here 3years back is now sitting on less than1k.
As for Ironveld shareholders who have invested the same amount they`re only sitting on a 75% loss so lucky them.
We continue to wait for the "Transformational" news that will catapult this sp into space. Not saying it could`nt happen but I`ll believe it when I see it.
TP

Islandgirl, well summed up. I do`nt necessarily think we`re doomed but its a long slog from here.
We`re worth small change really to one of the big guns but no hint as yet of anyone circling .
The trading arm may be generating some revenue but as always we`re told nothing.
TP

It reads well but does beg the question.
Have PMO made a massive error of judgement or are we looking at a fairly typical AIM jam tomorrow scenario?
TP

Given the latest drilling debacle I get the feeling the general consensus has changed somewhat.
The usual suspects will continue with their rampathon but the more balanced posters seem to be looking for a an exit strategy that at least will mitigate their losses.
I continue to hold for the same reason, namely my substantial holding would barely fund a night out in the local tavern (if it were open). So not worth selling.
Sadly DW is conspicuous by his silence . Having told us this drill would be "Transformational" Not very inspirational.
The drilling season is now over so a long wait before anything will transform this sp.
PMO forked out 23 mi for this. 7 potential pay zones and nothing but hot air. Any return on their investment they`d have stayed but saw enough, adios
I`ll continue to hold on the off chance we have a Foinaven moment but not holding my breath.
Stay safe,
Islayman if you`re reading , hang in there.
TP

Capt,
Ice cream bad for the waistline!
I`m hanging on.
This is one of several AIM shares in my portfolio, all down sadly, though this isn`t my worst.
" If you leave a pig in a forest long enough eventually it will dig up a truffle" So I`ll not cash in my chips just yet.
Time for LJ to give us some genuine facts and information.
Meanwhile I`ll have a chocolate chip!
Stay safe ,
TP

Islayman, Really hope all goes well for you. We`ve all got our fingers crossed I`m sure.
Your predicament puts all this in perspective which from time to time we all need.
Keep safe, my thoughts go out to you and your family.
