Mindless ramping. You'll wake up one morning with your money gone and a sore ar$e and you will wonder what happened.
How is that going to help you, knowing the list of Top20 shareholders? Go ahead report the BOD if it makes you feel better. In the meantime you should get your hand of it. Many shareholders choose to have their holdings hidden from public view by using nominee accts. Nothing to stress about.
Electrostar, Areva made a commercial judgement to opt out of the agreement for a large project scoping study based on uranium price at the time. Aura reassessed the project size downward after this. https://www.oecd-nea.org/ndd/pubs/2016/7301-uranium-2016.pdf
Welcome aboard electrostar. Don't underestimate Tiris, it's cheap and easy production. Of 54 Japanese reactors, only 4 operating today. The average age of reactors in Japan is 30 years and anticipated life remaining is 10 years. 11 reactors are being decommissioned and 7 expected to restart this year (2017). Japanese govt. is reassessing it's nuclear power policy amid public objections. It could be they start a renewed nuclear program with new modern technology to cope with their geological risk factors. France has 20% of it's reactors down for maintenance and metallurgical checking. These should be back online within 18mths. Of course China and India are going gangbusters with new reactor builds. These will all need feedstock and supply inventory. Interesting times ahead.
Thanks to Tom Winnifrith for bringing this to my attention - http://palisade-research.com/the-bottom-for-uranium-stocks-is-in/
Yes, off topic. Go ramp somewhere else. Try the MILA threads. Those poor sods will be looking for something else soon.
At this stage of project development I think the SP is very much announcement driven. The Sabkha announcement has been overlooked by the market imo. This asset and study is so important to the company that they have employed someone just to manage the study! I mentioned earlier "soda-ash" is not a particularly sexy sounding product yet it's importance to Aura cannot be underestimated. I am waiting for further announcements on Sth Tasiast gold tenement. I believe that before we become known as a uranium company we will be known as a Gold miner, and it will be gold that drives the SP until uranium production commences. IMO this really is a company flying under the radar at this time.
Announcement today regarding Tiris feasibility study and the soda ash SABKHA study. http://www.auraenergy.com.au/investor/ASX%20Announcements/2016/Tiris%20Project%20Development%20Update%207%20December%202016.pdf Note the potential reduced opex costs attributable to having our own soda ash nearby. Also the potential for lithium.
Do not underestimate the importance of the soda ash. It will reduce the opex of Tiris production by 25%! Additionally despite a not-sexy name it is one of the most versatile and widely used commodities for everything from glass manufacture to washing powder/detergent and chemical manufacture. It is an important economic indicator in US used to monitor the condition of the US economy. It has real commercial value in it's own right. A substantial find could be a company maker in it's own right. Some soda ash is mined, ours is in the form of mineral deposited in a salt pan. What is peculiar about this is that it often goes hand in hand with Lithium. Wouldn't that be a nice addition to the Aura resource stable? I cannot wait for exploratory drilling to commence and for a reserves announcement.
No jiggery pockery about it, just multiply a company's share price by the number of shares on issue. In this case it is 1.55p x 716m shares = £11 million
Some of the highlights of the presentation; "Algold, has gone up in value by 400% since February." And from elsewhere...sorry but I cannot reference the source on LSE as the filters block the address; “If I had the money I’d be putting US$2 mln-to-US$3 mln into the gold alone,” “But I’m not going to JV it. I’m not going to give it away just yet. Let’s see what we can do.” Now this is the interesting part... He is not going to JV the Gold project!
I'll post the link here again as you appear to have gone off-thread gdawg54- FWIW Latest presentation for The Low Emission & Technology Minerals Conference (November) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UNZud9wiqw Not one of the better presentations due to being done over skype, but the Chairman Peter Reeve continued to reinforce the message about how easily uranium ore can be "mined" (extracted is more apt) at Tiris. The ore source is a maximum 5m depth and can be dug up with a JCB back-hoe, though they might buy a bigger version when they get serious. Such a quick and simple process to screen off the gravel from the ore, then leach it. Häggån is only 5 years away...not long in the scheme of things. Tasiast South Gold project. I think the Chairman is doing everything he can bar shout his message from the rooftops. Nobody is listening, and the message appears to be, well Gold. The Kinross Tasiast license was bought for US$7 billion! The modelling is based on high volume BUT low ore grade of just 1g/t. Now here is what Peter Reeve is trying to convey. Algold's Tijirit license upon testing is showing results of multiple g/t, 5g-8g/t but some at 30-40g/t. The Chairman expressed the view that Aura geologists think that the Algold ore body continues into Aura's Tasiast South permit. He must be taking some really strong tranquiliser to contain his excitement because he looked very calm telling the story.

Have you noted the assay figures quoted by Algold. Much higher than Kinross' Tasiast mine. Kinross' success has been on the back of <1g/t. Algold has much higher ore concentrations than this and that could continue into Aura's permits which are very close. I do not think it is drawing a long bow to link the results.
I think that the Tasiast Sth permit will be massive. It appears that there is a connection to the Algold Tijirit permit to the North East. Have a read of Algold's annnouncement - http://algold.com/investors-presentation/ And here - http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/algold-intercepts-3985-gt-au-over-6-meters-at-tijirits-eleonore-zone-593380461.html?tc=eml_mycnw If we can access this information then think what Aura directors know. I think we can expect some very positive Aura announcements soon regarding the Gold license. In a recent Aura interview Peter Reeve indicated news before Christmas. Tick tock.
Well spotted mac4671. That announcement only just released to ASX.
Apologies. Try this http://***********/2016/10/738/ Thanks mac4671. If it is automaticaly edited again just add the prefix tiptv dot co.uk, then /2016/10/738/

Paul Atherton of Berkeley very bullish on Uranium price for BKY projects. This could equally apply to Aura. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcsZVBiu5HE
Welcome to AURA gdawg. Indeed many are invested here because of the Aura assets but also because of PR's background. Peter has a worthy resume including CEO of Ivanhoe Mines some years ago. Whilst at Ivanhoe PR reported directly to Tony Giardin now CFO and EVP of Kinross Gold. Kinross are that company just up the road in Mauritania with the 20m oz Tasiast gold mine. I wonder where this could lead?
