You happy they were buys copper man? I'm not so sure. Happy to be corrected.

Have a good weekend all

True HH that might just be lse L2 which is far from perfect but on this occasion I'm guessing that was the reason for the odd gain

It was showing as 1.57% up because 32p order was put on the bid for a while. That's now disappeared.

I think there's been a lot of scare tactics as well. Look at Norway. They're not doing so bad.

Gents, I think someone asked about the date and attendance. I’ve just had an email from NvS saying they don’t have a date at the time of writing but they it will be announced shortly. I got the impression the details of how to attend will be included in the RNS as he said he looks forward to meeting me. Hope this helps.

Actually profitability or not as the case may be doesn't come into the equation for me at this stage. What's important is the grades that are in the ground. If they continue to be as good/better than the recent RNS then we'll be very profitable in time or we'll be bought out. Either way is good for us, but not too soon for the BO unless it's too good to turn down of course!

Could be PC. Badly worded statement which exacerbates the already dire situation here

Thanks gents. For the record I sold my last tranche of 50,000 shares. Good luck to you all. I tend not to post on bb's i'm not invested in as i believe it's bad form. Hopefully i'lll be back in the future.

The only word of caution with shorts closing is that the volume will possibly then decrease and hence the volatility. Stocks like this require volume to hopefully recover. I do hope also that stop losses were triggered on the way down. Anyone not having a stop loss on AIM is crazy - unless of course you'e happy to lose an awful lot of money.

Too much or me today. I've pulled out and will look elsewhere to make up my loss. Will re -enter possibly again in the future.

Good luck to all HNR holders. IU hope the tide changes for you all. ATB

Poorman agreed so far but hopefully pressure will build with further drill results. The broker note today was decent enough.

Surely the potential value is 10x that assuming good grades in all drills?

Bought another 100,000 shares on the back of the broker note. All positive.

Come on HNR give us something to cheer about. The silence is deafening.

In reply to a post from Saturday (sadly i don't have the time to sit on the bb's every day) as i assume the poster was alluding to me. She really needs to get her facts straight and stop taking parts of my posts out of context to suit her own agenda. Some of her wording is childish and silly and she's quite simply wrong about my posts and thoughts.

For the record, i never said this will go to 22p, just like i never said ti would to go £1. Why? Because i don't quote prices. I don't short but i do trade but i'm very happy to wish all investors good luck here. I hope you make money as that's the name of the game for all of us.

As for her sarcastic and again childish comments re broker notes making everyone else out to be an idiot - well I'm just not going to waste my breath.

Fulmar, copperman, cattleman, CB and others - my thanks for your very knowledgable comments. I've been here a long time and when I bought OTC I was a mineral novice. Thanks to you guys i now have a decent grasp of things.

As always i Nick comes over every well as a consummate professional. I got the impression he was tempering his excitement about the future as he obviously couldn't divulge anything until another RNS is issued. i don't want to tempt fate but the (decent) results today are possibly the worst we're going to see and things should get more exciting with every RNS. There were though a few little gems in his wording which give me a lot of comfort about the near future.

Thanks for posting that `jupiter - i'll ahem a listen this evening

To begin with i was luke warm about he RNS but when you put it in perspective i think it's pretty impressive. As Fulmar has said, this is the first of many, and even if the grades aren't fantastic, they're on a par with Sentinel, so if this is just the first course then we're in for a treat.

I was musing the other day about whether Nick would like to let the bumper RNS out first or later and he's clearly gone for the latter. Therefore we can expect better and better news over the next few weeks/months. The sp reaction is typical Aim but you can't hold a good thing down. The pressure will build!

Been working today and just turned on the pc to read some really excellent comments. It's refreshing we all have slightly different take on how the situation might develop but are all after the same goal.

We can guess the 9 sites will probably provide different results. Nick and co will surely have a rough idea whether one site will be more fruitful than the other so i'm wondering if he'll announce his 'joker' play first of all to tempt the market into action, or will he announce the bumper play after a few drills have been completed? Not very well put I know but hopefully you can see the question i'm asking myself?

Sta60 - yes i stand corrected thanks.

Ha ha no the last thing id want to do would be to slow down Nick for all our sakes. Very happy with my holding and will add next week, but if we're shooting up then i'll be delighted for all of us. ATB

Some really excellent comments today on the prospects here. i think it shows our combined knowledge and reasonable hopes for the next few months/year.

Sta60 I like your comments. I might have read them wrong but we are actually 99%+ owner of CASA now but whilst NvS said the upgraded results there were "a game changer", this is still small fy in comparison to Zamsort.

I'm largely in tune with the earlier calculations re Zamsort and used the starting point of the sale of Number 22 a few years ago for $260m. I've taken a more conservative look at our potential (that way I won't be disappointed!), so even not taking into account any inflation/increase in Co/Cu prices since then, it's reasonable to expect a similar figure for each of the nine sites. This would equal circa $2.3bn. Assuming we own 70% of Zam, our share would be circa $1.6bn. Even taking off an arbitrary 25% if some of the sites didn't quite realise the same value and assuming "lumped together" sale then we're still in the region of $1.2bn. So i guess i'm generalising the same long term hopes as you guys? Either way that would translate into a pretty healthy sp which makes our 5p today look very small. I won't make 1m+ shares but am continuing to add and if i can get to 800,000 that'll do me very nicely. Please feel free to correct my musings. All comments welcome as i might be way off the mark.

This bb is really just how a discussion group should be but you gents are right when you say the herd will arrive at some point. maybe time to take a step backwards then!! Until then thanks all for your very valuable input.
