To pass the time 1) How long is a piece of string? 2)How long does it take for the Rom government to make a decision? Two question will we ever get answer?. GLA IN VAST

We need excellent production figures when they are released in July to boost the sp or AP will not be able to do a placement at a higher sp. If the sp does not rise it will result in a larger dilution of the shares. I thought after payment of loan there would be cash over on production of copper because we were getting higher prices than before. We appear to have spent a lot of money keeping BP dry and now paying for equipment (which in my opinion could be as poor as the equipment at our producing mine which needs replacing).They appear to have us over a barrel an still no licence what more will they ask for before we get the license? I just hope AP is right and we soon get the license or we could all stand to lose a lot of money.

When I invested in SAR I also invested in Oxford biomedical. SAR has done sweet FA whilst oxford biomedical has doubled from the price I paid. Oxford biomedical pre stated strategy is to externalise product development beyond the end of the pre clinical phase. This appears to work What strategy does SAR Have? IT'S NOT WORKING.

Can anybody tell me what large investors we have in OxB? Do we have any institutional investors if not do you think this news will encourage them to start investing in US? GLA.

Thanks for your reply castaway if AP is prevented from making any comment re licence the Rom government can hide behind a wall of silence and we could never get this dam licence. All I want is some light on this matter and like most LTH's and not be total in the dark. If the Rom government wants outside investment the need to be more open and with vast they can show they can be trusted. Time for them to act to prove this point. Sorry I am just another frustrated LTH. GLA

Euroson gave a clear RNS stating at what stage the application for a mining licence was at and the next steps required for this to be granted. We now need a clear RNS from AP to state clearly at what stage our application for a licence for mining at BP is at and what further steps are required for this licence to be granted. Euroson clearly felt that by stating these facts it would not hinder the application but could hurry the process along. We need to know which department of the Rom government is holding the process up and how long they have been holding this up. GLA.

The weather has improved both in Rom and Zimbabwe and will be fine for the next few months and production should continue to improve. Until we get these improved production figures I do not expect the sp to move much till then. Hopefully it will then will rocket. GLA.

Yes this 115cts and confirmed the 9th 100 plus this year. This now puts a solid foundation for the year to hold up and increase the sp. This large diamonds help in the total of about 30,000 carats mined each quarter most investors only take notice of these large finds. Gem diamonds is now cash rich and I strongly believe that a dived will be paid at the end of Q2. GLA

On the back of this no real facts RNS expect shortly a call for more cash for ggp to further explore this so called wonderful find just like EG. Do not be fooled make GH produce real proven facts by an independent qualified person. GH is just a dreamer at pis expense.

Being fairly new to investing in shares is there any way I could have predicted this write down? (appears to have come out of the blue). I was sure trading revenue(up 20%)trading profit (up7. 7%) that both would be up but this was a bolt from the blue. Any answers would be most welcome thanks.

When do you expect the next recession so I can sell out just before it starts.

Just has the sp was slowly improving we have this unexpected blow. This is a non trading blow but as we are not in the property trading company. Non of the 20% increase in revenue as this has been spent just a readjustment of the estate value (Did not realise that property value had fallen that much since the last valuation). Now summer is here I expect revenue to keep increasing as it did in the last 6 months and Marston will have the cash to maintain if not increase the final dividend. I think the market has overreacted and not fully checked just reacted to the headlines of Marston make 6 months loss. Wish I had spare cash to buy more shares at these bargain price.

We still have a NAV of £1.42 which is 35-40% above current sp. (We are not selling any of our estate in fact we are prudently increasing our pubs and lodges and have an up to date confirmed NAV of £1.42). Our revenue is up 20% our trading profits are up and 4millions of cost saving. We survived the beast from the east and the Internet is no threat like high street shops and the next six months are our best trading months. Strong buy at these prices. GLA.

When is the next bit of good news due? Any body got any idea? Will it have any affect on the sp? Any answers welcome. GLA.

Great PR by AP but sp down again. Will we have to wait till Q2 production figures for any chance of upward movement? Will hang on in but have no funds to increase my holdings but will need further proof of real progress to invest more when have funds. GLA

I think you are wrong production will continue to increase as the increase in stripping was to ensure we could reach the high grade copper. The new plant is needed save 25% on cost, (The new plant is nearer the mine.) The old plant can handle the increased production it only is a long way from the mine and a nearer new plant will save 25%. If you think it will take over a year before the sp reflects the true value of vast I suggest that you come back in a years time but I am sure you will have to pay a great deal more than the current sp. GLA

IMO the sp will open the same as it closed but I think the mm have large buying orders to fill so us small pi 's will be able to sell any amount but try to buy it will be NT but mates rates for the mms mates. They will keep the sp down for as long as they can for their mates to profit when it shoots up a nice little earner for their special friends Aim always stinks.

I thing you will find this diamond was found in April which is in Q2 and the Q1 covered only the first three months of the year up to the end of March. I Stand by the fact that this the 8th 100 plus found this year do anybody else agree with my maths. GLA.

On this BB people keep talking about a Giant Mine in Zimbabwe is this the same mine which we have just taken an interest in? If not is this mine in production or what plans are there to put it into production and what amount of gold do we expect to be produced? Thanks for your help in this matter and GLA

Who is selling must be making a loss at these prices. Why why why do they know something we do not? Just crazy but that's aim. GLA
