afternoon albert. i suppose it's all a bit academic now anyway,but would have liked to see the formal figures,just out of interest.only a few more days before we enter the great unknown as it were. fingers crossed!

morning bignose.agree it will be interesting to see if we get an update. i don't know anything about mining and commodities,but i gather EVs (particularly the pure battery ones) contain significantly more copper than pure petrol/diesel cars ,up to 3x as much in some cases. now sales of Evs are, i gather,actually only a very small percentage of total vehicle sales.despite all the hype and propaganda.however biden for example has a very high targetfigure for EV percentage by 2030.no idea of course whether it will be achieved (here in Uk i don't think here is anything like the necessary infrastructure to support any significant volume atm), but there is undoubtedly a significant force behind the growth targets.whether this is significant factor behind potential copper demand I've no idea ,as i don't know how much of copper production goes into vehicles as such.im fairly certain however that there is more demand for copper than for the ageing clocks! lol DVGs performance will of course depend on many factors peculiar to itself, but if, as one hopes, the demand for copper remains strong it should hopefully underpin the s/p .fingers crossed as always

late reported trade of £92k plus at 0.375p.directors buy/sell or someone else .also we have never had a TR1 for N&G. apparent blatant ignoring of reporting rules (it's down to n&G to advise naps and only then does naps obligation to notify the market arise.) the rns re them converting doesn't obviate the requirement for proper notification of their current holding.none of this matters of course,as its what happens next in US that will count, but not impressive.

emmanuel maes buying again, reasonably significant amount.

morning dougie.it would be good to think so and yes the silence does suggest something might be afoot.it's a good point which you and bignose make about the weight of data and with the 505(b)(2)route they can use data from sources other than themselves,which may be part of the plan.lots of questions!!

morning bignose.yes interesting article.we seem to have entered some rather cloudy waters now,with the reference to the RLD protocol and trial.i have spent some time (yes i know i should get out more) trying to work out why they re now trying to do,but(no surprise)failed to come to any real conclusions,as i don't have the technical industry knowledge and understanding which would help and of course ,we have not been given much to go on by ERP itself. i'm hoping the next operations update will clarify exactly what the new strategy is.the article does suggest a movement in favour of OTC,which of course was exemplified by our own success in that respect,but whether this can be incorporated in some way in other regions only time will tell.fingers still crossed!

very much my thinking, dosanddonts.

5Orrell not sure i that was meant for me, but if so many thanks.

usual smooth performance from mellon. disappinting no mention of new agrarian and how that tie s in and no incisive questions from the (presumably tame ) journo on that aspect or on the fee structure.obviously not on the permitted agenda.

glennstar the board will doubtless stay open as do many boards where shares delist, so we will be able to continue to post. im not a member of the telegram group but that may be something i will consider further as time goes on.

more directors buys confirmed this morning.looking interesting.have purchased a modest holding in my sipp drawdown. this morning

morning bucolic.mildly interesting set of trades this morning. nothing major but positive tone.i see LBO on advfn seems to have gone quiet for a couple of days,a reward for your stirling efforts there perhaps?

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/A-Copper-Crisis-Threatens-The-Energy-Transition.html just for interest.i know nothing about mining and commodities,so no comment.

interesting see ANIC referenced in the article,but it does also highlight the involvement of the big players( unilever/nestle) who may turn out to be the lunch stealers here. hopefully the lunch box proves big enough to provide something for all of us.

pertinent point Djp,imo.i remember reading the admission document and thinking there were a number of areas of concern where the financial situation seemed unclear(unquantified contingent liabilities if i recall) so if these have been or are being resolved as part of this process, it will be a good thing in terms of clarity going forward.imo

just read your post djp and i think that is a very interesting take on matters.

very much agree with those thoughts, Lse99. scale up seems very telling to me.

hello albert.no i didnt think that for a moment and sorry if my reply seemed to suggest it,.certainly not my intention. well if we did get an acceptable offer it would certainly put the cat among the pigeons but im not holding my breath.however this is aim so anything is possible.very glad to hear you have had a positive and helpful response from ii.i do have some shares on the HK exchange with II, so im a bit familiar with them,but its not one that i use daily.fingers crossed for a positive outcome here whatever form it takes.

yes i remember vaguely the original melody beta test. (they did it in germany if i recall correctly).we are riding a different beast now i suspect,but i wish you well in whatever action you take.have to say i would put the chances of a buyout at something less than zero, but a bounce into delisting is quite possible, as there will be position taking ahead of it i expect.

afternoon albert.my point really is that im not particularly concerned that we have heard nothing yet on beta,as i expected everything to be put on hold(or at least go quiet)until the deal goes through and we are fully us based.however if we aren't getting some traces of developmental news by say april i may start to be a bit more concerned.hopefully that will not happen.going to be an interesting few months i hope.
