I wish I was in a position to sell. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to stay for boom or bust. With 2.3m, I guess there's still money worth saving if forced too. Hopefully we won't have too, and things turn around, but good luck anyhow.

My app is pretty much in alignment with the mcap you stated.

... I think he's referring to his holding size.

...I am still interested to know the results, regardless of any system flaws ;)

To begin, absolute respect for taking the initiative! I understand that it's just a rough gauge, but it may become highly innacurate. Do you know what system is in place on easypolls.net to prevent multiple submissions from individual ip addresses. Another issue that may arise causing innacuracy are non holders who have an agenda whether that be to push the price up, or down. A further issue maybe in determining the actual size of someones holding, if they were to lie, or feel embarrassed if they have a smaller number of shares compared to anyone else. Personally, I think you are heading in the right direction with this project, but it's a little too early for me to cast judgement. I first want to know, by results day, that our tonnage has increased since the last quarter, failure to do this will result in an easy decision for me. I want to know that a placing for Zimbabwe and/or keeping the lights on is not happening. Again, failure on this will crystalise my decision, as increasing tonnage inline with Sinos contract could otherwise have avoided this. As it stands, until results are out, I am conflicted between option 1 & 3 ;)

As they say... "Teach a man to eat a mars bar and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish with a mars bar and he will feed on shark fin soup for a month!"

LW - Your blowing my plan....I was gonna let him eat his half and then make an offer to the company with my half ;)

GheeBhee - Nathan Steinberg...interesting links to the Tory party, I wonder what benefits his lobbying had for Pan African Minerals? ....I mean to spend £25k on a small bronze statue of David Cameron riding a bike, it's a good way to fund a party candidate indirectly and obtain privileges for it. The spidersweb ey! Good read though.

Lol. Done! ;)

Hi Joeman - I hear what you say, but about the restructuring point.... If you were struggling financially, you would do the same, as would most....consider downsizing property, maybe sell off a less effiecient car, cut back on eating out, rid of sky tv. These are practices that happen in every household and business across the country. The motherlode point - Agreed, that is the nature of all mining. However, there has been dodgy figures published, many statements made without materialisation...even at the basic level. I am down to the point that it's not worth selling, sold on those same dreams statements and figures. Like many, I feel trapped in here...despite what many may think or say about agendas. You do make good points, and I do shoulder some of the blame, but the downfall has also been facilitated by the board, which is where I expect more. Nonetheless, I do hear what your saying.

We currently live in a country where the National Minimum Wage Act dictates that £7.50ph is the minimum rate that an adult of 25yrs+ needs to pay someone's basic way of life, mortgage and pension. This equates to something like £15k-£16kpa...far from enough needed to enjoy life. These same unfortunate employees are also granted statutory rights under the Employment Rights Act, most rights of which are stripped away due to the Tribunals Act, leaving discrimination, and unfair dismissal the only rights that these employees can actually exercise. We have a government that manipulates employment figures, trumpeting the inflating number of jobs in society, whilst remaining silent about policies they introduced that allow employers to not have to pay national insurance contributions for staff they employ on a part time basis, instead of full time. This was all in aid of launching a brutal attack on the most vulnerable folks in our country under the Universal Credit Act, which effectively forces claimants into low paid, part time jobs where a reasonable basic way of life is near impossible. Further, there has been a notable increase in propationary/trial periods in most these low paid jobs, as well as offered apprenticeships for jobs such as waiting and cleaning, which have exemptions in the National Minimum Wage Act. The Pensions Act allows employers to not have to pay an employee's pension for up to three months, further adding to the pain that these employees have to endure. At over £100kpa, should we also be questioning the salary of board members and the rights they have as well. This is an argurment, not limited to CB, but the entire marketplace. I agree with the free market arguement, but we should first ask ourselves the free market question regarding the folk at the bottom, stripped of everything....Remember, society needs those at the bottom, equally as those at the top. Can you imagine a banker wanting to make his own toilet paper before going to the toilet? Are CB, JS and PN really worth their salaries?

Dear Tomco,

Unless it's a formatting issue on my browser, your new website has a mistake....try swapping the prices of Brent Crude and WTI around. Thanks.

....God I hated the old website!

JDAU - Thats obviously not a personal attack, but rather, a realisation as a result of what you said.

It's strange, the other day JDAU said that it was an achievement for CB to get us out of debt. At first, I agreed with that, I have always thought the same. However, the highlighting of such a fact has also brought the achievement under a much heavier scrutiny by myself. Here is my new view about CB getting us out of debt..... Let's pretend that I was $10m in debt to the bank. Now, let's pretend that by force(otherwise known as dilution), I had you lot pay that debt off for me.....is that an achievement of me, or an added expense to you? Anyone can get themselves out of debt if everyone else is forced to pay it!

Lol. How do you prefer to be addressed, Lancy, or Ross? ;)

Whoops! .....Sorry for boring everyone ;) Where's Ross and Co? .....it's strange, Ross disappears, and so does everyone else!.....perhaps Ross was more than just a couple of users after all!

It also seems that the quieter CB keeps, the more stable the price becomes....It's the only company I know where shareholders are hoping that news does not come ;)

If you care that much, the Companies Act 2006 touches on the subject: Chapter 1, Regulation 112: The members of a company. Chapter 4,Part 9, Regulations 145-153: Exercise of members rights. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/contents

Off the top of my head, I think the companies act mentions something about who the members of the company are, who the beneficiary holders are, and who has what rights. Generally, I would agree with you, but many times I have heard from people that large brokers are not providing them with forms....which is what made me wonder if the law permits certain parties obtaining power over the shares unless they are explicitly requested by the client, or the broker voluntarily passes the vote.... I'm gonna have to check again now ;)

...all that dribbling on and I forgot to respond to your question. But No, I haven't yet received a form.
