Thanks Viable. Good to review. Feels like this could be the next key development for us.

I think we'll get further newsflow soon; the AGM is in London on 15th June. This should reassure shareholders where there'll be an opportunity to meet DB and the Board and get a face to face view of the business. I continue to be happy as a shareholder and although its only a 5pc position for me, I have doubled my position in the last year following last year's AGM where I was reassured that everyone is working hard to take the business forward.

West

Good to get the AGM date for 15th June. Since I first met Darren and the Board at last year's AGM, I've doubled my holding. I anticipate further support for the shares as Darren reinforces the message with UK shareholders.

West

In fairness, the Chairman has held 3m shares for I think 15 or 18 years and has steered the ship well.

Cobus has not put a foot wrong in my opinion.

We are fortunate to have talented stewards of our business.

West

A solid business. I wonder if it will become part of the FTSE 350 in June. Very happy with management's stewardship. We are fortunate.

West

Thank you to all for your thoughts. I also like Avingtrans and appreciate the other ideas like Serabi. Its impressive to see a Gold miner making a maiden dividend payment. Taverham has been a steady fan of MSI , as have we all, so its good to hear other favoured stocks.

Very happy with MSI which seems well- positioned.

West

I agree,dictum.

I am of the opinion that it won't take a massive shift in sentiment to change the basis here. Whether that happens in September or not it will be most interesting.

I would certainly prefer MTL to stay independent. This remains one of the best run gold miners and its great to have a Board comprising talented and focussed people.

What may change the basis is recognition of this by the investor community. There's no doubt that the recent visit to Nicaragua will have assisted in this and we may start to see favourable press coverage.

Ironically, it will be easier for investors to buy this share once it gets to 20p. Many stewards of portfolios don't like holding shares below this level.

West

We'll get more news on AEP at the AGM on 15th June. A growth business with much more to come.

West

It'll be interesting Sajy to see the annual statement next week, hopefully. Then we'll have the exploration update I assume.

Dictumdedicto,

Thanks for the AI work.

Good to hear from you as your input is always appreciated.

I sense that Metals Ex may have found its base level and we move on from here. It only seems a short while ago I bought 500 at 12.75p yet it was actually last November!

West

JM could have stayed the course as many others have done. Our Board and management are doing so and adding to their positions.

I am happy and believe we're on better form without JM.

West

I am pretty content with the stewardship of the business. If we have to wait a few months for this to be recognised by the market, so be it. We are fortunate that we have a great Board and its a stronger business without Jim Mellon. Haven't heard from dictum dedicto for a while and hope they are OK.

West

I would be surprised if REA combines with AEP. Nonetheless, REA is in better shape now and I believe that all three plantation companies are set fair. I wonder if AEP or REA will be the best performer from this point. We shall see. I am pretty comfortable with investments in this trio.

West

Sajy,

Amir was true to his word and a great statement.

I'll have to get a few more!

West

John,

Welcome back! Your daily reports have been much valued. Sadly, I don't have the time. I'm very pleased you will be giving your thoughts here anyhow and am glad you kept the faith and instilled many of us readers with confidence on MSI.

West

I agree Sajy.

All best

West

I agree Sayj.

All best

West

Sayj,

I wonder if it'll be 30th April when they give Operations Update? Not that it matters. Perhaps there'll be two announcements.

Amir is a good steward.

West

Good report from Shore Capital today.
