Exactly. Great second half of the year. Looking positive. Now they need to get this news out there!

Bilby on the mend Last week’s trading update from Aim-traded Bilby (BILB:67p), a provider of gas heating appliance installation and maintenance services to residential and commercial properties, is well worth noting. The company revealed that “a number of existing clients have broadened the scope of work to be undertaken by Bilby in advance of the March 2017 year-end, and other contracts that were set to start in the current financial year have commenced earlier than previously anticipated”. As a result, Bilby is now expected to report cash profits of at least £3.6m, or 20 per cent higher than house broker Northland Capital had forecast, based on annual revenues of £62m rather than £60m. Analyst Mike Jeremy has taken note and raised his pre-tax profit estimate by 25 per cent to £3m and lifted his EPS estimate to 6.6p, up from £2.2m and 5.7p, respectively, for the 2016 financial year.

I'm in. Some nice chunky buys today. I wonder what the news is.

I am now out. Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the good contributors who have shared (you know who you are). Only been trading since October and this board has been very helpful. Good luck to all those who stay in until the end and do hope you get rewarded with a twist! I'm sure I'll see you over at solg in the future.

Just seen this on the top risers. Hmm.

These sells are getting hoovered up like a dyson! Loads of time left for a twist in this story. Come back kelsbells!

Question for wise heads. I'm still voting No (with a small amount) but with all these arbitrage buys it's looking more and more likely that a Yes vote will happen, is that right? If this looks likely the share price will increase nearer the time of the vote? Just trying to understand the next step.

@ludeck They may not have another option ATM so why RUSH this through and why not get all the info out there (unless it's bad of course ;) ). Why not shout the REAL AISC value from the roof tops rather than whispering it. Surely that was one of the main objectives and success stories from the PEA. Something smells here and we clearly do not know the full story. This is not aimed at you. Just do not buy that this is the ONLY option they have and if it is then it's only cos Glenn has done a really shitty job! Frustrating huh!

Rather than looking at back of fag packet calculations I really liked the 2 articles by Taylor Dart on seeking alpha. Google search marl resource-sector-meet-mariana-new-industry-leader and marl monster-drill-results-make-junior-must His second updated article after the PEA was £1.62 and that was based on $1250 gold and an AISC of $450. Both of which is much better for us at the moment and included a 30% discount due to it being in Turkey. THIS WAS JUST A VALUE FOR HOT MADEN and ignoring all the other operations. We have enough money so why not prove up the Russian Site. I'm gonna vote no and if unsuccessful I will ride my Sandstorm shares as this story does not end here. Where has ERGAMA gone Glenn? We need a serious update on our resources as this has been played since Nov/Dec.

I'm tempted by it to maybe follow the next set of results. They've obviously been holding back various "insignificant" info (like really low AISC) that I think the first update they will want to impress to a new market that probably have not heard of Mariana before. But, I need to do some more research of their other plays.

They told everyone else $450 didn't they? Cheeky!

What figure did they give for the AISC SPUD?

Agree. Look back at this article from Taylor Dart who valued this back in January at... "The fair value of Mariana's project is $268 million dollars, or a share price of $2.17 (US)." https://seekingalpha.com/article/4034032-monster-drill-results-make-junior-must

You would hope that if the market see's this as a lowball offer, so will another company. They will at least pick up a phone and show some interest. If any big miners are reading this, I'll help you out. Call +61 2 8437 4588 Ask for Glenn (who may have stopped calculating his split by now).

Thanks. I wander what more news they have to legally reveal before we can vote on this offer? I'm a newbie to shares but surely we should get an updated RNS before we vote?

Hey Ludeck, following on from your post yesterday is it your understanding we have already started drilling the Old Russian site or are we still awaiting permits? Could Sandstorm be privy to unreleased info on that?

Hi Ludeck, FYI - I topped up at 84p this morning swell and not showing my trade yet. Must be delayed.

I'm happy patience has paid out but also annoyed with the value. I had that price down at a minimum for hot madden not the whole company. Maybe I should be grateful. Would love a counter offer from someone.

You would assume that pro mining president being in power long enough to see this mine go into production will be a very good thing for marl. Not 100% this is great for many of the population but very good for this share.
