"Diamonds not awarded to VAST. What a kick that would be.. cruelly taken out of our hands..."~

It certainly would , but , perhaps , just perhaps , we might get our 1 million GBP brown envelope back !

Encouraging to read some much more positive positive posts on here this morning .Surely a c. I`m also thinking about buying to lower my average

Best wishes for a speedy recovery .

That`s him !

Exactly !
He didn`t ask a question , he made a statement and in my opinion a statement which would seem to be sadly lacking in the area of `Genuine` . In other words lacking in authenticity and sincerity .
Perhaps I`ve just become overly cynical !

I know nothing about `Charting` , nor do I have much belief in their substance or value ~~~~~ BUT ~
Is that a perfect `Cup and Handle` forming on the six month chart ?
LoL !

I disagree , he`s simply asking for a degree of civility , respect and balanced debate .

Well said Morningsun !

TBTT , Good to have an encouraging post for a change 1

`Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into`.......

12Milion market cap seems to me to be bordering on the ridiculous .
However , if you`ve got no money , income can`t be developed and you`re carrying a chunk of debt (c.30 M ?) you are likely to become a tasty little moresal for hungry predators with bigger teeth n the game .
I would like to see AP Ddivest himself of his 10%+ interest in BP and take a share stake in lieu as a statement of
confidence . We could become really vunerable , especially in Zimbabwe where there are apparently three other Companies applying for Government mining approval .
Challenging times for any experienced CEO , I hope AP is up to the task .

Dodge , Good post 08.23 ,
I also have concerns about the possibility of Mercuria trying to grab some of Vast`s assets on the cheap , a situation for which they have been largely responsible for creating and which I mentioned in a post yesterday . We are very vunerable at this stage so i do hope that AP has thought through some plausible defense and that there really are alternative offtakers to fill the vacuum and restore credibility in the project . Bergen seems to have been an act of desperation , so I`m not wholly confident and certainly uncomfortable .

s0n1cb00mb0y , Do you know for a fact that it was AP who terminated the deal ?
If so I think that was probably the right thing to do .
I do hope that you are are correct about `Plan B`
GL .

and wholly inappropriate that posters such as JacobRothschild (34 posts) , and there are others , should use stressful situations such those today , to post slurs , abuse and criticism of investors who have lost money in this Company .
Shame on them .

Tiger , you`re right , but it will require an individual with a revised creative approach to monetising Vast`s assets .
AP has had his chance and , imo , failed ~~~~ miserably .

I`m not sure how AP can recover his credibility here.
Irrespective of any problems that Mercuria may be facing AP is absolutely totally responsible for this mess .
There is no point in blaming RP , SS Mercuria or anyone else , AP has been aware of all these issues and the potential consequences since the day he took over the helm .
I think we need a new CEO with serious financial experience , a quality CV and connections to reputable financial institutions .
A revision of strategy (I`m not sure if I ever read the current one ~ is there one ? ) and the elimination of the SS stranglehold is crucial . Just put AP in some advisory role .

That`s what you need , not good books or web sites !
With hindsight , I am now very critical of AP`s encouraging , positive and what I believe to be not wholly honourable podcasts and interviews since the begining of November continuously suggesting `It`s in the post` .
What we do know is that the business really needs cash , and quite a lot of it , to get their assets into production .
Without hindsight , I`m begining to wonder if T2 will ever arrive , and wether Mercuria might just simply take over Vast with a little bit of pocket money .
I never thought that Zimbabwe might just be our saviour , but it might turn out that way . Who knows , the answer certainly ain`t in books or the charts .
All very disappointing . imo .

" The ladies toilet has got a new mirror?"

I`m not sure about that in the Ladies toilet , it would probably be a two way mirror to complement the two faced rhetoric we`ve been subjected to .
No doubt leading to some court case which would require further fund raising and another share issue ;(

SS ~~~ You`re right , and brave ! I really do hope that the fog lifts on Monday .
If it does , I will have likely lost some funds , but will immediately restore my holding here .

THAT , just about sums things up Neversatisfied , without using any expletives !
The European experiment developed into some crazed , self promoting , self assessing looney utopia .
It`s broken , it`s bust and it`s going to burst . If you are a part of it when that happens the consequences are likely to be even worse than being outside it .
