Voted all my 200k as no (obviously), quite straight fwd on interactive, 2 for each account, so 4 votes in all.

tired of all this, so either way move on after easter, i'm missing out on my galiano build

Good operational update, they can run a tin mine thats for sure.

not sure about the comment regarding people selling, there is no hot money in atm and there was no run up so that wouldnt really be the usual sell on news effect.

if bidders are doing their own due diligence then that would partly explain the huge delay in strategic partner, i'm sure this isnt the normal approach as they would take the companies results but there you go.

still think the strategic partner will be around mid summer for the announcement

also they really need to proof read their RNS's better, always seem to have mistakes, just bit sloppy

Fairish points catchingpigeons, but he has had long enough and the updates are very weak, and we all know many AIM companies that do this, the best ones just go out and do it (like say err KODAL).

going back to the video didnt he say something like we are conservative in the planning but quick in the execution ?

i think i could re-write that for him quite easily. its not as if he even needs regulatory approval to my knowledge, the biggest hold up is usually with African regulation so if this is just andrada and a bunch of bankers assessing bids its taken far too long.

and bidders will not wait forever, they want the resource and usually with anything in life you are only really patient if the item is really unique (ours isnt) and / or you think you are getting a steal. so something doesnt add up for me, UNLESS he is carving up the whole territory to multiple parties for seperate bids but i dont think that is the case because of lack of resource definition in some areas.

That would be the other thing, are the bids awaiting more drill results, in which case sort of fair enough but he should communicate that, but doesnt seem to.

"should" and "could" the ultimate words in modern society, which mean nothing and usually used by politicians

Whole thing is a complete joke, planned for a while i would suspect, the only thing they got wrong was the gold surge

how this isnt being look at by the regulators is beyond me, maybe they have bigger things to look into (they dont)

Completely agree bohercom, for those on here that are happy with the direction must have incredibly low standards. its fine that the direction is what it is but we have an eroded share price, very little interest and very low volume, none of these are good. the execution is very poor.

the appointment of our "advisor" was 11th of may 2023, far longer ago than i thought. as i expect this to be concluded at earliest by june and probably longer, that is just not really acceptable.

other timeframes in other far more complex areas have been achieved sooner than this. oil block farmouts which would be on hold pending flow rates etc (i'm referring to AOI farm out of the orange basin). Drilling deepwater prospects are QUICKER than this, and these are complex high tech advanced engineering frontier breaking endeavours.

all we do is drill and sort tin and get a deal together for lithium, its not complex.

it feels to me like this is dealing with a very slow entity like the EU. The chinese seem to move far far quicker, and in the commodities world when a resource is needed the cheque books open pretty fast. Total moved very quickly in Namibia.

so really cant see what the issue is and even then the communication is really minimal

The deal will not be eye watering and if the mkt believed it would be we wouldnt be at this price. it might get to 7-8p its not going to climb 300% or anything like that.

he should never have said it, its done us no favours and if its not amazing people will just exit (i know i will)

Gut feel for me is there is more milking going on than a devon farm !

And its wierd because the SA miners i know of are REALLY REALLY GOOD (sylvania spring to mind) and just get with stuff and no BS. So not sure what our problem is.

Also a great country to mine in (love Namibia from my interest in africa oil / Venus).

So really he has no excuse (and dont like the barclays incestuous relationship either)

I've got some askari, so might be interesting (though i very much doubt, there isnt anything really that interesting with ATM)

That was a dictionary quote to explain what eye watering means, but can understand your conclusion, i should have posted the link:

https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/eyewatering#:~:text=From%20Longman%20Dictionary%20of%20Contemporary,%C2%A34%20million%20a%20year.

Eye‧wa‧ter‧ing /ˈaɪˌwɔːtərɪŋ $ -ˌwɒː-, -ˌwɑː-/ adjective

an eyewatering amount of money is an extremely large one

He is on an eyewatering salary of £4 million a year.

Bohercom,

i'm in both, as a few others will be. kodal are far more dynamic and exciting, andrada are a very slow build whereas far more impressed with kodals just get on with it approach.

this is why i would always reccommend geologists are running the show rather than ex bankers tbh. they have a love for minerals and exploring and getting the stuff out the ground, whereas bankers as ceos tend to fixate on deals.

i think if i ever see that eye watering quote one more time i'm going to do something stupid....:-)

its all very well for AV to have these famous quotes like "you dont mine from a spreadsheet" well you also dont do deals from a spreadsheet and sit on it for months on end.

there are plenty of lithium resources out there (it isnt a particularly rare element) and strategic moves are being made, we dont want to miss the boat.

as many will know from my other posts he is extremely frustrating to me. if somebody offered me an "eye watering amount" for my house what would i do say, nah, i'll look around for 6 months and get back to you

it was either eye watering and he should get on with it or stfu.

kodals deal was great and they are getting on with it (and the company was originally gold and now they can get on with that too).

Might be able to buy some brake pads at a well know kennford cycle shop if this keeps going

that will only mean anything to bday boy if thats who i think it is

Either way our "ceo" is finished, dont think he will be able to front up anything again, and if as we expect the bid fails then what next for him ?

huge gamble which seems to have backfired

Totally agree GGG, this farce has to end and real quick and let shanta realign at what should be 17-18p.

this whole process is ridiculous, and as our wonderful ceo has endorsed it he has no incentive to do as many positive things while we are under offer, if they want to win, which they wont.

AV has avoided any sort of mkt raise so think this is unlikely, he is just trying to be positive.

plenty of facilities to get extra money if needed, and there will be some pure cash element (maybe a lot) when this damn lithium deal(s) materialises

Its just a slow burn and slightly unsexy company compared to a very straightfwd explore-build-sell operation for spodumene like kodal.

but, think we will get there, its just no one really cares about tin too much (unless 30k plus), prob most not heard of tantalum etc etc

but he needs to really get on with it, he still does a bit too much jam tomorrow for my liking

I think you missed his point which was petalite requires burning off of oxides to convert to battery grade material, which would cost something but prob not huge

Anyone have a good reliable pricing source for our petalite concentrate ?
