I believe all our recent posts also feed into what should be a no brainer regarding the Parys Mountain Mine and its necessity not only to the U.K economy but to the state as a whole. A domestic supply of copper is imperative to the future success of the nation IMO.

We can all agree that it feels like we are banging our heads against the wall with regards to AYM. 1 +1 should equal 2.

I dare say it but in agreement there on the food producers. The romans at one point understood the necessity to feed the masses and the army as the base of success. Arguably when they over taxed the peasants and left them with not enough food for themselves it was a major contributing factor to the demise of the empire.

There are some very basic facets to successful state hood. Ability to feed and defend ones population are two fundamentals.

Some of the ridiculous services we were offered as a business regarding green services. I think it was either a call from our banking provider or our shippers that rang up using buzz words and how excited they were to help us into green transitioning. When I repeatedly asked how and what are the methods of doing so, particularly in light of non being applicable to our business I was met with silence. The guy on the phone had no clue the magic elixor he was selling.

Im not against green energy or green initiatives whatsoever and broadly in favour of the transition. The issue is sheep mentality on the whole thing and at the cost to individual households, businesses and wider economy. Meanwhile China, India, Bangladesh etc heavily relying on coal and other fossil fuels to power their economy forward. Ironically I dabbled in trading GCM some years back which was coal miner in Bangladesh. Rest of the world have no qualms to use whatever means necessary to get ahead.

My father started his business in the 1970s from a small unit grew it in the 1980s into early 1990s to point of a 30,000 sqft warehouse and 12 employees. Mid to late 1990s saw rapid decline. By time I joined in 2005 he had 2 x 6000 sqft warehouses condensed to 1 x 6000 sqft warehouse by 2014 or so. Fast forward to 2025 hes been long dead and im hanging on working out of a 260 sqft unit with 1 employees.

For me I see now way to grow and will hold on as long as possible and have set end of the 2029/2030 tax year as potentially the point of a voluntary windup ending over 60 years of trading.

Unfortunately lots of pessimism among our peers and each year from suppliers to customers more are closing for good.

Sad times...

Industry I'm in was gutted starting in the 1980s. Primarily by cheaper imports from India and Pakistan and then hammer blow by the rise of cheaper China.

Much like domestic supply of strategic minerals we saw when covid hit when supply chains are disrupted domestic stocks and supply is imperative.

I see now way for Manufacturing to return in any meaningful way as we transitioned rapidly under Tony Blair to a services economy, not that the previous Conservative Govt did much to help the process either.

Im not necessarily in complete favour of protectionism but my eyes were opened to it when discussing with a boss of a manufacturing factory in Shaoxing China. He was offering some stock at less than cost price as the factory got some form of subsidies from their govt to keep output high even during quiet times. Essentially flooding the market with cheap items with lower cost of labour and subsidised shipping costs also. Is no way any western company can compete.

If some form of protectionism was implemented into vital industries even if those businesses would not necessarily be viable without subsidies etc at least it keeps economic output going, people in jobs, workers spending, tax receipts flowing etc.

To let everything be killed off is the death knell of industry.

I think all the despair is what is pushing voters into the arms of Reform. I know countless of my white working class mates in particular are all moving from labour to Reform. Myself im not convinced its the right call. I will probably plant my vote with conservatives again or spoilt the ballot.

I believe all options are bad. I think at the heart of it we are frequently led by people who have no clue and no real life experience.

I have voted conservative probably 70% of the times I have voted. However Dennis skinner always stood out to me as a kind of politician that the rest should aspire too. Not necessarily for his political beliefs but purely his fire and will.

The point of having leaders is they are meant to lead. Not flounder like guppies.

Been reading of the generous incentives in Hungary and Poland for normal hard working families.

Apparently Poland are offering zero income tax for polish couples with at least two children.

Unless some radical reversal of fortune occurs here UK is going to be at best a second tier economy in next decade.

I know this is probably all online banter but some red lines being crossed in the rivalry between two posters.

If we can try keep it somewhat civil. The calibre of the board is truly being dragged in the gutter.

Everyone has the right To an opinion and a viewpoint and even to disagree strongly.

I reiterate cancer jibes etc has always been grotesque but equally threats to beat someone up is perhaps on par.

Perhaps some Christmas cheer and virtual drinks all around.

Assumingly we are all on here with the intention of making money either on aym or just generally.

Not here to police the board but I check in here every so often to see what’s being said and any vital information. Most the time look to see the same argument that’s been playing out the last 5 years.

Best wishes for all tommorow. And although the share price is not close to were we want it to be at least we are heading into the new year in a strong position.

Next milestone will be a successful share consolidation before 31st of March

Btw huzzarksi the comment was in jest. Granted you are a complete joke of an account but mum jokes generally are off limits. nothing malicious meant by it.

Much appreciated I won’t pry any further. I personally feel some involvement by govt is coming either by finance or greater political involvement.

Equally the country is increasingly fractured politically at the moment. Such a project and the employment it can provide not only in direct jobs but also indirectly can generate votes

Your mum. Clearly.

Alan Green reference was to the “it’s not rocket science” quote. He seemed fairly confident in govt funding

What you alluded to regarding funding is very intriguing indeed especially as it was quite brazenly mentioned by Alan Green.

I’m not sure if you are able to shed more light on how you are aware of aym actively working to obtaining govt funding?

31st of July 2026 share price 2.2p

Volumes have dropped off again and are more in line with normal volumes. This may continue to slide in run up to christmas. Not ideal as it would have been great had this stayed above 1p into the new year.

I remind all new investors with miners on the whole if gains are maintained incremental rises only tend to occur when each stage of value is unlocked. However AYM does have the tendency to spike rapidly due to the low shares in issue.

I would anticipate for us to be trading in any meaningful range into 2026 we would need some kind of newsflow regarding positive and concrete steps to the route to production. Whether this being further developments regarding permitting, some form of commercialisation regarding the hydro pumps (by product also on works on the mine itself) or indeed some kind of timeline towards a PFS.

Funding issues should seemingly be resolved by a successful share consolidation albeit causing dilution at each fundraise. However the big wildcard in play which is the game changer is Govt funding. I think for me as a Long term investor any Govt involvement becomes the game changer as it essentially becomes a declaration of intent. That is to say the project is more or less green lit to actually happen.

The believability of this actually going into production combine with the funding issues are the two major factors in the SP being depressed all these years. The funding issues of very recent times are seemingly to be resolved however without timelines or belief in this project going ahead investors are going to be fatigued by constant dilution and new money reluctant to enter. If believability is there those concerns are somewhat nullified as the belief in the ultimate payday seems more real.

That all being said the indicators of this going ahead are the strongest they've been in years. I think the board and new members really need to grab this by the horns in 2026 and push hard. If not we may another calendar year of stagnating sp albeit perhaps more stable in a settled range.

Good article

Love the “it’s not rocket science” part

If this can stay above 1p in run up to 2026 this would be a good place to start in which I hope to be a better year

I love you too
