I33: I understand what you're saying, but would it not be more accurate to say:

"There's a lot of volatility, especially throughout the early part of each year. And the SP then generally tails off towards the end of the year"

rather than just

There's a "historical tendency for the share price to rise rapidly in the first half of the year"

----

Just a thought, and I'll admit I've not delved into the previous years' charts in as much detail as you have. Also, with news-flow predicted this year, do we not expect / hope for less volatility, but for more sustained rises? Despite what some may think of me, I do hope for the 5p/12p/20p+ to come in during 2025. I would also expect things to tail off towards the end of the year due the the Mongolian winter season, which you've also correctly pointed out has a negative effect on the SP, as is understandable. The other caveat to this point I guess, is that hopefully next winter we will be producing a lot more oil, so the pause in drilling new wells etc during the Winter should have less impact to the company's cash flow and therefore SP. Also, I'm not sure how much the Renewables project would be affected by the harsh winters (maybe others have a more accurate view on this), if it's not affected much then this could hopefully also help to stop the traditional "Winter SP dip".

ATB.

I33: "Agreed. I mean to deny the historical tendency for the share price to rise rapidly in the first half of the year is just plain ignorance. It's done it year in year out. All people have to do is look at a 10 year chart."

2024. Jan 1st: Closed at 4.17p, highest point of the year was 6th June where it closed at 4.5p...or 7.9% up from Jan 1st. Where was the rapid rise?

I33: "So much for the likes of Doc, Adw etc making sarcastic remarks when I said that the share price always get a big boost in the first few months of the year...."

Well hopefully we'll see that big boost over the next few weeks/months. We've certainly not seen it yet...

More buys so far today than the whole of yesterday and a tick up on bid/ask. Hopefully this is the start of things turning (and hopefully I've not jinxed it...)

Here is the context of Mr Hinton's "Moon" comment:

"You know, we often talk about Oyu Tolgoi as being a big mine, but that’s not what makes it extraordinary. Its importance lies in its complexity. It’s the mining equivalent of going to the Moon. They used to say that when rockets were heading to the moon, they were off course 90 percent of the time—not drastically off course, but slightly. While the theoretical trajectory was perfect, reality required constant course corrections. The key isn’t about always being on the perfect path; it’s about having the ability to recognize when you’re off course and make adjustments. This principle is also what I’m trying to instill within the board—flexibility and adaptability to keep us on track. But it should be a source of huge pride for Mongolia, that such a complex and technologically cutting edge mine has been built here, by Mongolians and international partners"

The board has been a lot better today Gusto, can we please just draw a line under the petty sniping now?

Oh, and for the record, I do agree that there are numerous people on here who continue to "Diss MATD" as you put it, and be spiteful and negative. I'm just not one of them.

Am I not entitled to defend myself against baseless accusations? And usually the burden of proof is on the one(s) doing the accusing...

Am I not entitled to defend myself against baseless

2857mal: you've formed an opinion of me very quickly. Since you've been here, which of my posts have led you to "call my behaviour into question" and question my motives. Where is the proof that I'm part of an "organised group maintaining negative narrative"?

I hold several million MATD shares, have never sold any and have no other usernames on here - all capable of proof should the need arise.

I know I said I wouldn't engage again with TenBagTag, but he's now stooping to even lower levels by threatening to dox me and other members of the forum, which is completely unacceptable.

I see he now thinks that I am "Professional" as well as "Adw198"...and he apparently has proof!!

This is someone who has appointed himself as the "Neg Policeman" of the board. Someone who wants us to believe that he has held stock in MATD since 2017, but somehow quietly sat on the sidelines until October 2024 where he then suddenly decided to open an account here and post relentlessly hundreds of times per week (whilst also setting up a MATD Telegram group to-boot!!!). Quite the personality change.

Since he's been here, he has turned the board from a place where people politely debated, disagreed and had the odd jibe at each other to a place that is really divisive and toxic, while trying to control the narrative at every turn. Make no mistake - this only happened when TBT joined the board. You all know it.

I can categorically confirm that I am NOT "Professional", as well as my previous rebuttal that I am "ADW198".

See my profile link here, where I am calling out "Professional" when he was giving it the big "I am" about holding the Synairgen board to account at their AGM (21st June 2023 09:56 post). Would be *really* weird of me to call out myself on a public forum like that wouldn't it:

https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/wigster77/?page=21

"I'm looking forward to seeing your masterclass in holding the company to account at the AGM, Professional. It should be quite the spectacle."

To be fair to "Professional", he did actually turn up to the AGM...where he just sat meekly at the back of the room in his bright Orange t-shirt!! Oh, I forgot to mention TenBag..."Professional" is Dutch, a bit like your hero and semi-namesake Erik Ten Hag...strange that, isn't it?...

I am not Dutch and never have been. I am not Professional or ADW198 and never have been. And I've still never sold a MATD share.

I would suggest stalking and threatening people on anonymous bulletin boards isn't for you. You've not got the intelligence for it and are too obvious.

Maybe try keeping silent as a vocation? - You did so well between 2017 and October 2024.

This board would certainly be all the better for it, that much is certain.

ATB to all and apologies again, but I think it's now patently obvious the sort of person we're dealing with here.

Thinking out it, the AGM announcement can't be far off (AGM was April last year and Feb in 2023 IIRC), so maybe he's saving up all of this good news until then?

I wonder when MB is going to release news of this partnership with Rio Tinto? Surely can't be too long away now that one of RT's Chairmen has let the cat out of the bag.

Would certainly help push that SP up a touch.

Thornogson: "Quiet, understated, solid, steady delivery."

I agree that there is nothing wrong with the above. However, when the time is right I hope that MB ramps up the PR from its current low levels and is singing from every rooftop how the future is Petro Matad and Sunsteppe. Get these institutions and HNWI involved and really propel the SP up and up.

"2025 will be the year MATAD comes of age and in subsequent years who knows, in a few short years post refinery with MATAD producing thousands of bbl/d could we even see the day when MATAD returns to previous historical highs of over 217p (2011)"

In 2011, there were only 12.44% of the shares in existance compared to today, so £2.17 gave a market cap of c£397M. If the SP hit £2.17 with the current shares in issue the MCap would be c£3.2Bn.

To hit a new MCap high of say £400M with the current number of shares the SP would be around 28p. I think this is more realistic in the next few years - and I would be ecstatic at this.

Lets see though. Maybe we will be £3Bn+ in a few short years.

My apologies to the board for engaging in a TitForTat with TenBagTag - it is difficult not to react when people give such baseless attacks on you. Anyway, I will not engage any further, so as not to fill the board with petty squabbles.

Back to MATD. I have posted below my thoughts from 1st Jan. I must admit, I was expecting the SP to push upwards from the 1.6p it was on the 6th Jan. It is disappointing and a touch concerning to see it at all-time-lows.

For the record:

I hope that Investor33 is correct with his assertion that the SP will rise towards the middle of the year.

I hope that Abzzba is correct that we will be 5p in June and 12p by the end of the year

I hope that Thornogson is correct that he, and therefore all of us loyal holders, will be rich this year or maybe next.

Also, hopefully, the Cooperation Agreement sign off won't be too long coming now that Chinese new year celebrations are done. It sounded like it would be February, but I do hate it when MB uses phrases like "we are pushing for" in his RNSs as this to me signifies that he's encountering roadblocks. Maybe it's just me reading too much into his wording...

I'm interested to hear the thoughts of genuine holders on how they see the year panning out. Especially those with a more positive stance. Are you still as positive as you were at the start of the year/in Oct/Nov? Do you have any concerns with the progress the company is making? As I said on Jan 1st, for me, I think a robust plan for 2025 can't come soon enough, to calm investors' nerves and increase positive sentiment.

So, just for fun, here's how I see the year panning out:

Jan/Feb - Sign offs and hopefully news of the new PSCs and robust plan for 2025

March - News on renewables - although I'm not sure this will do much to the SP at this stage

April - H1 uplift to 500bopd, hopefully more. Fund raise - 300/400m shares, depending on what SP is doing.

May - H2 rectified. Hopefully this is not too expensive. Again, 500bopd would be nice

June to Oct - H3 and H4 drilled (hopefully without issues). Possible work on GOBI.

I'm setting my expectations at a year high of 3.4p, possibly dropping back to 3.2p at end of year.

Conservative? Yes, of course, but I thought I was being conservative at a 15p (IIRC) prediction last year when others were around the 30p mark - even 60p+... and we all know where the SP is now!!

3.2p would also represent a year rise of over 100%, so not bad by any standards. I do hope it gets a lot lot higher of course (the figures Progressive quote would be very nice) and by-golly we all deserve it.

Any one else care to have a stab at how our 2025 will look?

2 posts corroborating my thoughts about your paranoia. I'm serious TBT, please get it looked into.

Who is Andrew by the way? Is that your imaginary friend? You could be bi-polar too. Might be worth mentioning that to your doctor too.

Nope. No proof again. I only have this account.

Along with clear narcissistic traits you are now displaying signs of severe paranoia. I'd get it looked into if I were you.

Again - no proof. Just baseless accusations yet again. And from somebody who has his own TG group!! You really have to love the hypocrisy and their lack of self-awareness.

Anyway, must dash, 15 hours a day composing my two messages on here so far this month has really taken it out of me!!

"Wigster/ADW/Andrew (all the same person)"

TenBagTag's "proof" is that "ADW" has the letter "W" in it...and so does "Wigster". I think you can all see how unhinged he/she is.
