Lucky, we need to be a bit more relevant with our facts.
The precious metals sector on the LSE has fallen from a high in Feb of 18,000 to a low in July of 8940. For good or ill, XTR is part of this sector. So in comparison to that we are pretty average. Certainly if i look at the likes of the companies, which have come down by 30% or so from their peaks (and just started to recovery) it seems a reasonable fall.
XTR has been bashed a little in the last few weeks, because of sentiment, but its hard to direct much of that to Colin. TBH volume is so low that a few people selling and or buying can raise the SP or lower it, very easily.
Of course we will all have our opinions as to why, but it could be a couple of large holders needing to sell to fund a pension withdraw and have nothing to do with the company.
I am not universally happy with everything I don't think that anybody would be with any company. I do think he has over promised (I remember getting cross at one of his interviews last year). I have never brought into the Tier 1 talk and generally have lower valuations than him.
However despite all this, the company is clearly valued far far too cheaply atm.
Whether or market is holding off for actual gold production and income figures before truely valuing Manica or whether it wants to see a JORC before valuing BR, I don't know.
I've said it many times, but there is far far too much emphesis on the AA contract IMO. If we get 1m tonnes of copper we are already talking about one of the biggest undeveloped Copper-Gold projects in Australia. It won't go unnoticed imo.
But anyway, the gist of my post is that we are in the same boat as the rest of the sector. Without the need to raise funds and having no debt, it's difficult to see many of the companies in our boat being in such a good position as we are. IMO
