Forgot to write "...then again, it's cheaper...".

Sweet spot maybe, but that is rediculous....its cheaper to fly to Spain and back then it is to buy a barrel of oil!

Andrew - Lol. That proof is killing my dream like an alarm clock ;) I can't deny the reality of potentially being late here, it's something that CB has excelled at in recent times, and its ashame that markets don't take recognition of such achievements either, otherwise we'd be laughing right now ;)

Fantasy - I have only been around for about 6m, but I do hear people on this board reference the 'Telegram' occasionally. It's seems the same sorts of things happen in a lot of companies.

Regarding AP understanding how to keep a merrygoround going, as no 'real' material news has developed this far, I can't disagree with you, as much as I can't agree with you either....I guess the updates wee seek are imperative for him to disprove that theory. I hope he does, but it's why I sit on the sidelines and wait for news first, as a failsafe prevention measure.

Ian - Yes, it does help out by answering questions. However, it's a double edged blade, it can create more questions at the same time, creating an endless task of answering new thoughts that investors have. Q&As somewhat give an opportunity to respond to an answer in a transparent manner.

Nonetheless, body language can sometimes give cues, but that method of reality detection also has its weaknesses too. Generally, I'd say podcasts aren't really much of a big thing...but they do help to plan the timing of events and announcements...atleast that's what I'm hoping for on the 24th ;)

Fantasy - Agreed. The podcasts are simply a retail investor appeasement mechanism, nothing more. It's the material news that really matters to anyone.

Joeman - I think you maybe referring to FB? ....The Omnia agreement is excluding FB, and inclusive of all other reasonable deposits within our concession and Omnias. The Omnia deal is new, and hasn't before had a start date announced....as far as I believe. Andrew - I have a bit more faith in the HR to be fair, and only because Omnia are running the show from the shadows, although not legally structured as so. I think CB will be ok on this deadline, otherwise walking maybe an unforseen difficulty for him thereafter....;)

Talking of a Monday 1/2 day spectacular....I'm pretty sure Aldi will be awash with those yellow 'reduced' sticker items.....the 24th could turn out to be a double whammy for me! ;)

Sandcrab - I'm feeling as good as I ever did! ....The same concerns are still present, but those concerns do not outweigh the potential I see if things turn out well for Vast, which is why I'm hanging around here like a fly on shit ;)

Applegarth - If news on Zim is announced today, then that's even better. Regardless of the MM spread increase(the premium I will pay for late arrival), it's what follows is what I'm looking at. Trading is for losers, so the initial spread doesn't worry me in the slightest. I'm happy to pay a premium for the finest....but will continue to shop at Aldi ;)

FAHP - I'm glad we can agree on something ;)

Unlike my brother, I have a shorter investment intention, anywhere between 3-12m....unless the direction drastically changes to the better. I never had any intention to make an entry unless Zimbabwe worked out, or Zagra was in swing with a major JV. Nothing else would have pulled me in. We are now aware that Zagra isn't as close as originally anticipated, so depending on the circumstances, my entry will have to be done twice, at a higher price if I calculate my timing incorrectly....but that's the risk I run with my strategy I guess!

Either way, and regardless of my seemingly militant approach on this board, which has plenty of reason btw, I sense the 24th might be the catalyst I have been waiting so long for. If Anguss conversation is true, then I picture it as a puzzle piece, somewhat explaining APs recent shadow hiding concerning several issues raised on this board. I just hope I'm right here and Xmas eve is the start of the AIM miner dominance reshuffling.

This could potentially be my entry point ;)

Why wasn't the Podcast put out yesterday or today? ....especially after the critisism the loan attracted!

It does make me wonder, is it because a diamond related RNS will be announcement at 7am, followed by a Podcast clearing up all aspects regarding the loan and other matters?

...Xmas eve is my bet! ....what does anyone else think?

Hi Ian, it's 30 calendar days from issuance of each tranche.

Hi Yrabs, There's many reasons why I believe something diamond related is just around the corner, with the addition of that specific '0.2p' term in the Bergen agreement, it enforces my belief that an announcement is due very soon.....Surely AP isn't that stupid to get a loan, potentially risk failing with the conditions on the Bergen T2, and then put himself in a position with the begging bowl and no extra progress until.

I agree, whatever the bits that AP is aware of, but not releasing yet, can't be anything that's price sensitive, but a launch pad to something else which is perhaps...

To be fair, after the Q&A, I was happy that AP didn't avoid my questions, as I thought he might try. For that reason, I have no doubt that he'll answer my recent email....possibly even in the Podcast instead! But is everyone who is emailing and getting responses, emailing using the Vast website email form, or another address?

My questions relate to the BP plant investment plan, as outlined in the Mecuria agreement, and also the financial aspect of Manaila as percieved by Mercuria, which is also an obstacle for T2 from Mercuria. After listening to the debate yesterday on the $1.5m charge, I can't remember if I asked that in the email form or not, if not, I'll wait for a response and resend another question.

IMO, AP has some sort of biggish news to be announced soon. The reason I say this is because T2 of the Bergen loan does not have to be issued to us if the SP falls below 0.2p for 2 consecutive days in a row, which obviously forces the company to ensure the price remains higher.

There are two things that I see could happen to avoid the 'no T2' scenario......the diamond news pushing the price up, or T2 from Mercuria being actioned.

Hi Andrew. Yes, im aware that the mineralisation is being attacked from different angles at different stages etc....it's more a case of a quick annoyed writing of a post where I couldn't be bothered to complete the full sentence ;) .....call it CB syndrome if you like! I'll tell you what, if CB isn't producing by Q1....God help him! .....but something tells me he may actually pull this one off though, but now I'm just gambling I guess ;)

Is it just me or do capital letters make it slightly harder on the eye to read than otherwise? ....Perhaps I need to go to Specsavers?! ....Others may say that I should take someone with me ;)

If for any reason, Q1 is extended though....I can't actually even describe what I'm thinking here! .....F@cking....!!!

I really hope with the stored gold we have, the money has already been put towards the split cost of modifying Omnias plant. I hope the next RNS doesn't suggest that we have to now wait for that issue to be resolved, but rather, that it is already done, ready to fire up in Jan of Q1!

*heard = noticed here.

FAHP - "Ah, teacup so desperate to be heard".

When I speak, everyone will know, as today has demonstrated you f'ing idiot!.....There's no desperation from me I can assure you of that.

You're still manipulative as proved, nothing will change that fact. Now, rather than spending your time trying to create scenarios of desperation, why don't you instead contribute to the on going converstaikn rather than prolonging your grudge?
