Oriole certainly meets the definition of a beaten-down and manipulated stock.
RNS this morning shows that the company is still doing what a gold explorer should be doing - looking for more gold.
Promising results to come in the next 6 months?

Oriole Resources CEO, Tim Livesey, said: "We are pleased with the progress our team is making on the stream sediment sampling programme in Central Cameroon, a vital first step in defining target areas by identifying river basins with associated gold anomalism. The speed and efficiency of the work is reflective of the well-trained nature of the teams, several of whom have worked with BRGM as part of the World Bank-funded, Cameroonwide, prospectivity mapping and sampling programme, 'PRECASEM'.

"The Central Licence Package holds all the indicators of a new gold district, sitting within an area of appropriate host geology, with respect to age, metamorphic grade and alteration, and importantly being cross-cut by deep seated crustal structures that are crucial for the emplacement of gold in orogenic systems.

"We already know from historical sampling, and evidenced by more recent artisanal activity, that the licence package has the potential to host gold, so we are understandably eager to see the results of this programme.

"Grassroots exploration doesn't come any simpler than this, with rapid and systematic field work allowing us to start defining and ranking targets for further investigation during the next field season."

The EH tailings are small potatoes in the Alien portfolio, and this is a normal commercial decision to focus on higher priority projects for now.

napthman1 - I don't think they can share tailings grade info as probably under an NDA

Looking forward to the results but seeing as there are only 8 weeks left in Q3 2021 it might be realistic to expect assay results in Q4. That way, you can be pleasantly surprised if we do get results by end Sept.
I think the maiden JORC at Fare is something the company should focus on.

Very good news and debt shares and warrants all issued at a premium to the share price.
Any confirmation on Teresa Goma? The Tilapia license is eagerly awaited!

A nice short squeeze would be great!

Hi Sang and StayLong, I am sure due diligence was done, and it looks like they have confidence in the company to make an interest only loan. The payments will have to be laid out in the next company financial statement so I don't know why this would be considered commercially sensitive. Am I missing something?
In the meantime, I am looking forward to more trials and - hopefully - great results.

This seems a vote of long term confidence from an experienced American finance house, and underpins trial funding at least for the next year. I would like to see more detail however to be able to judge this deal ie what is the cost of the financing. I see no mention of the interest rate to be charged, which I would have thought was a fairly important variable for investors to know in order to judge how good this deal is.

While a few posters have been disappointed, at least the overall direction of the company is still positive.
When reading through the RNS it is more apparent why performance has been held back in the last quarter, and the AISC has increased to $1458 USD/oz. I am not too perturbed as the situation should improve next quarter.

-Q2 2021 new wave of COVID-19 infection ......and approximately 35 on-site cases of COVID-19 were detected.
-In mid-March to 1st May 2021, the Philippine government implemented a ban on international personnel returning
-reliability issues with the Company's equipment fleet and longer than normal delays in sourcing certain essential replacement parts
- continued delays in completing the resettlement of the illegal miners from Stages 3 and 4 of the Project site and getting full access
-major shutdowns at processing plant during Q2 were undertaken to install the SAG mill variable speed drive and to replace the SAG mill liners (plus unplanned downtime but no indication is given of how much this was)

Thanks to Scotalba for mentioning this at 10:31 today: "I have strongly believed for some time that Dr Simon Dominy (Honorary Associate Professor) is involved with this/us, he is the oracle when it comes to finding and extracting gold from quartz in Wales. " I was wondering who might be guiding our wet behind the ears MSc student. If so it might be useful to see Dr Dominy brought onto the ALBA board as a NED.

I am enjoying Alba being in a period of positive news flow. Fingers crossed that it continues.

I am happy to see the team getting Camborne School of Mines involved - should be an interesting project for the MSc student, although, like politicians and bureaucrats, they need to be kept under tight supervision. :-)

ACMSY shares now in my US Fidelity account, matched for all TLSA held in account, including those bought on the 8th of July (the day before the ex-div date). Showing a value of 0.55 USD at end of trading day July 15th 2021 but not freely tradeable yet.

Have some TILS in an HL ISA so sound like that's going to be a slight challenge if we are issued US OTC shares for Accustem.
Thanks appletree1 for digging up Saxo Markets and Trading 212 as possible UK platforms for trading Accustem.

Interested to see what the market will make of Accustem, and hopefully the delayed spinoff process will no longer act as an anchor on Tiziana's share price.

"Checked with my broker in US and they say that effective date needed to hold the shares to be entitled to Accustem is 9th July not the record date Nov 6th 2020."
Yesterdays RNS was clear, just one day before it went ex-dividend. Previous guidance was therefore only partially correct so would certainly expect a class action for holders ofTLSA on 6th November 2020 who sold before today's ex-dividend date 9th July 2021.
I have high hopes for this share but they have been worse than useless on communicating the Accustem spinoff. Saying that, I bought some more TLSA in the US yesterday and hope the dividend is enough to compensate for the share price value destruction since last summer.

Good luck LSLTHers (Long Suffering Long Term Holders)

"We are delighted to have agreed our first sale of Tunisian oil production during a period of high o
il prices.
"The Company will apply the significant additional funding towards accelerating our planned field development rehabilitation and drilling activities in Robbana and El Bibane, as well as within the Ezzaouia concession following agreement with our partners, to achieve a maximisation of oil production in the near-term."

Excellent news this morning - glad I held on to my underwater shares now that we have a nice income producing company on our hands. The focus to fund near term oil production from our North African assets in the current high price environment is eminently sensible.
Hopefully the next news is good news about Tilapia - long overdue after those chumps who ran AAOG into the ground made such a huge mess of things.

Good luck fellow holders - should be a good few days as today's news filters out and more investors come on board to what is now a much less risky company.

Well done to RBW on getting the maiden JORC for Phalobarwa out, with a greater than expected inferred mineral resource. Using the given numbers of 38.3 Mt of gypsum and a combined value of $123/ t of gypsum for Nd, Pr, Dy and Tb oxides, I make that approx $4.7 billion value for the in situ resource. I am sure there will be more careful and detailed resource value and revenue models forthcoming from our smart bb ccontributors, but I can say I am happy for now.
Best wishes all,
Z

Dont think we will hit Parkboys 0.6p but a good cheeky try to get sp lower.
I am not fazed by this morning's news items at all. Hamersley and Silver Hill are in play.
Hopefully this will be a temporary blip.

No kids either :-))

Planning to hold through Phase 2 drilling at Bushranger. You'd be daft not to.

However, as an investor in the Yorkshire Birds's African enterprises for over six years, I can warn others not to hold their breath for Africa news. I do hope income starts being reported form Manica soon, I really do.

Pretty much the same with me at JLP, and at a couple of other AIM stocks that shot up while in the bottom drawer.
However, hodling is not always a good idea - look at what that Chris Fraser pulled at Sirius Minerals with his JPMorgan mates.

Todays RNS indicates to me that Clogau can come good and hold value for Alba with the current exploitation strategy.

Regarding the spinoff of Greenland assets, I would prefer to see a model where current holders get 1:1 shares in the new company, to compensate for the loss from the Alba portfolio, and properly reward current shareholders for the increase in value the BOD think will arise from the spinoff, if that indeed proves to be the case. A similar model can be seen in the Tiziana (LSE) spinoff of Accustem, which is having regulatory issues as it is being listed on the Nasdaq, whereas in the case of Alba the spinoff will be listed on AIM so should be more straightforward.

Kunwar Shailabhai is saying in answer to a question on Accustem (on the Zoom call ) that Accustem has been spun out, in the regulatory process of getting listed, and he doesnt know when that will be as Accustem is now no longer part of Tiziana, and has its own management. Absolute ****poor answer, I'm afraid.

Dear EP,
I will have to take your word for it that you sold out at ROCK at a loss, but I have no way of knowing. But you were very active there during the last 2p spike - hence why I remember you after so many months. On the positive side, you inspired some amusing poetry from username mapp, who I believe is still traumatised from being spiked that day.
Hopefully ROCK will still come good. I am not so sure about ICON.
You are correct about name-calling, so apologies if you have mended your ways and my observations are now out of date.
