I am also interested in profit, just a bit more than your 10%. Meanwhile I will watch with interest the strategy that the BoD have put in place to achieve significant longer term growth. The recent TR1 is part of that longer term plan and I'm sorry to point out that Candy, Bowden and NvS will not run this operation for the benefit two-bit traders Have a good day
Hope you feel better now fulmar, I'm interested in profit, this is AIM, not a tracker fund, therefore I take profit. No more from me to you.
Sleep
@tygra so as a self confessed trader you are only interested in a quick buck . all you have shown re the sp of those companies is that mining stocks are, (and have been for a while) in the doldrums. who do you think decided to bring in nvs ? yes that's right the bod and major holders, and who do you think will have been given the job of sorting out the debt chaos and who do you think will have been told to sort out the structure of the company and lead it into new explorations . you are probably disappointed that you can't make a quick buck and the company will now turn into a longer term investable vehicle than just a short term punt for the likes of you ! just keep on ******** about bod decisions and someone you know absolutely nothing about , i'm sure it makes your sad little life much more fulfilled.

2. Jangada Mines 52 week high 2.85p - current price 1.35p (notice a pattern here)

Apart from all the catastrophic failures, he's awesome. Just the type of perennial failure we need to attract more investors........or...........(rhetorical)
You could've looked this information up yourself, but no doubt, your mask was in your eyes and you would rather look for other posters to take swipes at instead of asking why so many people are concerned about his appointment. A considerable amount of retail investors voted AGAINST this failure being retained on the board, that should tell you all you need to know. No doubt you won't listen, that's why I TRADE stocks, you can't lose when people like you only see the upside (contrary to reality), Eurasia Mining is a case in point.

I sincerely hope we get 10p this year, it's certainly possible if the Q2 results get the attention they should from Brokers and new investors. It's also around the price I will be top slicing some, that would be a good short term gain for me and the rest I would leave just incase we get bought out/merge with a larger company.
Only about 4 weeks to wait for the results, very much looking forward to seeing the profit margin with no debt going out.
All the best
We didn’t get lucky with the gold price, the out of control money printing has devalued the dollar and all other currencies, it’s a result of more notes in circulation that means you need more notes to buy an ounce of gold, gold is real money, and that money printing will continue and so will the rise in gold price, it’s why I purchased 7 million shares in MTL, not luck, judgement, and it’s paying off.
The Abra tenement was a chosen aquisition out of dozens of offers from mining firms, it also happens to have a working drill rig onsite, now I believe that’s been in use and gold has been found, we want YMC because they have added value, we have the cash income to realise that and Darren Bowden has the skill to bring it to pay off quickly.
10p still my prediction by year end.
Gold might go up, down or sideways, NOBODY knows. Quoting a 'major banking group' is complete speculation and in no way indicative of the price of gold. What next, Peter Shiff and all his nonsense over the past 10 years? The same 'major banking groups' that criminally refused to value MBS accurately in 2007 that led to the (designed) 2008 nonsense? The same 'economists' like the idiots who held the (spew face) Nobel Prize for Economics who went on to blow up their own Hedge Fund in 1998 (Myron Scholes & Robert Merton - Hedge Fund was run by another incompetent, John Meriwether).
The fact gold is changing hands for over $2k per ounce is a bonus, the longer it lasts the better. MTL need new assets pronto, Runruno is on its way out, clearly, we have 3 years (tops in my view) production so we neen replacement s asap. Abra 'could' be a winner, the sooner we get the community deal agreed the better, get the boys on the ground and get some gold in the bank. We got LUCKY with the gold price, make the most of it.
Roll on Q2 results
That’s my 2024 target, gold expected to hit $2700 by two Major banking groups this year, and banks are not ones to promote gold but they concede the inevitability, can you imagine the income revenues for MTL at that level? Abra tenement will have revealed its fortunes, Plus only 1.7 billion shares in issue with Edwards bought out, 10p is not that big a ask.
Results will push this on towards 10p imho

It's very welcome to see the few bits of news over the past week or so start to turn sentiment in our favour again. New HNWIs taking such a large position can only be a positive and a good indicator that there is plenty to come in the future

@Carefree-You misunderstand where I was coming from,I was suggesting that not all HNWs will buy lumps but will gradually add smaller amounts up to a sub 3% position so as not to spike the price and spoil the opportunity for the rest of the gang .I'm not looking to manipulate the sp down at all as I already hold .I'm fairly sure this will do well and when the exploration page on the web site is re-established we will all know why ! GLA
I see a wealthy investor taking over 10% of MTL at this point as extremely bullish, I also prefer the share distribution between many large holdings rather than virtually a monopoly in the past with Candy and Edwards, this year is transformational for us and gold incomes being so high the options are vast.
SJN1 - Gold jumped high on Wednesday. Why weren't you asking questions about the jump?
Fulmar29 - They haven't been buying them openly. Check the volumes.
She seriously wants in. How do you accomplish this with an illiquid share?
Buy a tranche in a cash raise? No cash raises needed so can't do that.
Buy on the open market? Try buying 220m shares without driving the SP into the stratosphere. Won't be doing that.
Buy privately from a large shareholder? Large shareholder gets fair value, new shareholder gets fair value. Win - win for both shareholders.
She has now bought 220m shares in MTL and people are still saying sentiment is getting hammered. Why can't they see what is happening in front of their very own eyes?
What caused gold to tumble hard on Friday, economic news?
And if multi-millionaires are buying in at this stage in MTLs story, there must be a compelling reason. After all, there is no divi, just the future of Gold and MTL expansion plans.

"Candy has taken another pound of flesh with the 15% interest he 'apparently' said he would forego (but didn't)" My take on that was that Candy agreed to do so in the understanding that RHL had agreed to do the same and when they reneged Candy thought why should I take a haircut if you don't ! So this next buyout was organized-IMO the Drachs/Helga Evans is a good sign of things to come-we await exploration news with interest.
As expected, Candy has continued to sell down his stake by offloading more shares. RHL are being bought out of their position by our own company which will remove them from the share register (good riddance). And now we have a very rich individual (Helga Evans) taking 10% of the company shares in her tax efficient investment vehicle:
http://www.datalog.co.uk/browse/detail.php/CompanyNumber/JE94970/CompanyName/DRACHS+INVESTMENTS+NO.+3+LIMITED
Candy has taken another pound of flesh with the 15% interest he 'apparently' said he would forego (but didn't), and now he's offloading more shares. I would prefer that we didn't have an individual with such control over voting rights, so him selling off his shares (and probably more to come) suits me just fine.
Now he's moved under 36% of shares in issue, so we can hopefully put to bed the talk of him taking MTL private (always very unlikely). We can also 'hopefully' put to bed the talk of 'Candy isn't selling', which is, as always, pure delusion.
Bring on Q2 results, and with a bit of luck some new investmentment groups start taking 'small' slices. Having one entity with too much control leads to............15% interest that's supposed to be 7%.
All the best

Agreed. The way this company is churning out money these shares will have paid for themselves within a year. Draw a line under the interest problem and enjoy the high gold price.
Very good news, I'm surprised the price is not up:
1) Somebody made a mistake on the loan agreement and it cost us some money. That's business you pay for your mistakes.
2) We are getting rid of a problematic (some may say crooked) shareholder at a very low price.
3) Existing shareholders get the upside of RHL stock going into treasury.
4) Darren Bowden is freed up to work on our future projects, instead of being tied up in legal wrangling.
Give it 3 months and this should all start showing in the price.

Leo - The production fee was negotiated as part of the original Mezzanine debt facility.
The following is from the debt restructuring RNS issued September 2020 - "The Group will no longer be required to pay a 1.3 per cent. gross production fee upon gold production (which is a requirement under the existing mezzanine debt facilities in respect of the period up to 30 September 2022)"
Looks like it should have been paid since September 2022 but now MTL don't have to pay it to RHL anymore unless there is more gold found at Runruno.
I'd be more than happy to pay a production fee to all shareholders once all the gold has been mined at Runruno.
Missed the obvious point, never mind !
The deal is done, what the heck am I supposed to do about it? Wait until we hit the magic number then blow the place up?
Leo how would you avoid paying out on 204 000 ?
Won't be the final time if Runruno production exceeds 204000 Oz. How did he manage to negotiate a production fee? What kind of hold does he have over the BoD? It's starting to look like Stockholm syndrome.

You are correct, we now produce more cash in one year than our market cap, can you think of a better place to be? I can’t, the shareprice is disconnected to that fact.
Candy sourced Darren Bowden’s employment and it’s clear Candy wants to grow the company, after all he is the largest shareholder and benefits the most from future growth and profits.
Just wanted to check I am reading this right we did 33.9 million in April and May with positive cash flow of 18.4 million that means for Q2 we can expect around $50mill with positive cash flow around 27million.
Shares in issue will fall by 20%. That's better than a dividend imo. I'm not upset they're returning cash to shareholders
Company should have been using cash to grow, and grow its net assets.
this big payment and the additional terms is a big backwards step in view

"Together with the initial settlement payments announced on 9 May 2024, the settlement payments to the RHL Group and MTL Lux represent 100% of the amount that would be due to MTL Lux and the RHL Group (respectively) under the Company's mezzanine facilities were the rate of 15% (as opposed to 7%) to be applied up to 31 March 2024." At least this should put the sorry episode behind us.

$2330 average gold price for Q2 so far, just 2 weeks production to tally, this is a huge quarter for MTL, blowing away all previous gold price quarters by literally hundreds of dollars, those letting go in the sub 4p range are mad, I have no other words, this quarter is the one that lets the world know the cash generation here is huge, a massive re-rate will be long overdue, it’s coming.
Here is an interesting article about how The Singapore Bullion Market Association is looking to create an “Asian gold hub”. China spooked gold markets last week and this idea is to create an Internation gold hub in Asia as Asian central banks see a growing need for an official gold reserve centre.
https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2024-06-13/world-gold-council-singapore-bullion-market-association-looking-create
As for the rise in MTL this week, gold is rising again and we seem to have recovered from the interest payments debacle that knocked the SP. Looking forward to the AGM when the board will surely confirm the problem is sorted.

Hi Printerman, the company is debt free, makes around 80K ounces of gold per year, Q2 results due in 6 weeks, looking to generate around $25 miilion plus before tax each quarter.
3.5 years of gold left in the cuurent mine (Runruno) and we are purchasingt another gold explorer holding a large plot in June (YMC) to expand reserves and creat mulltiple incomes, all paid for through profits, no Dividend this year on the cards as they want to use the cash to expand first.
Long term holders have huge holdings, I have 7 million shares, some have over 30 million, the best is yet to come and the shareprice is rediculously low.
Hope that helps your decision.

As long as we don't start mining one of those asteroids heavily laden with gold it will always have value be it more of less, so we are probably safe as long as the company doesn't do something stupid.
Are only two people in the world who understand Gold, its value and where its price will go. One is in the Bank of England and the other is in the basement of the the Banque de France..... unfortunately they disagree with each other.

If you want to know why gold got hit on Friday, and want to know everything about precious metals, I recommend you watch maneco64 on YouTube
This gentle and wise precious metal investor makes a video per day and is a must watch.
I promise you will be hooked and he gives you assurance and peace of mind with why we have to own either gold and silver (real money) or be invested in the miners.
All paper currency is dying and having your wealth in the banking system is dangerous, I have a fraction of my wealth in the banking system, I’m all in MTL and physical precious metals.
Watch maneco64 I promise you will be glad you did.
“The second hit to gold and silver came on overnight news that China’s central bank did not add to its gold reserves in May. That really spooked the gold market bulls. “China has been buying for 18 months, supporting gold’s record rally to $2,450/oz last month. While China may be slowing, we anticipate ETF demand to return to the fore as U.S. Treasury yields fall, pushing safe-haven investors into bullion,” said broker SP Angel.”
“This is a temporary blip. It is hard to see the Middle East and Ukraine conflicts being resolved any time soon, and US/China tensions remain high. Gold’s fundamentals should improve. The recent $2,450 peak is lower, in real terms, than the 1980 one, which would have been around $3,000 in today’s prices.”
"steep plunge in the precious metal already made on news that the People's Bank of China didn't buy any bullion for its official reserves last month." Ash of BullionVa...

The recent rise in the shareprice was fair and deserved with the position of the company, offering some an exit point, many on a tidy profit, the pull back is normal consolidation and those exiting now are getting there timing completely wrong, the bottom of the pull back is here already and the next few months will cement a number of things, firstly MTL are generating huge amounts of cash, secondly, gold is only going higher and MTLs profits will accelerate, and thirdly, The Abra tenement is gold rich and Darren Bowden knows that fact already, the drill rig onsite is not an ornament, it’s been used by YMC already, and results of those drill holes already exist, he’s not buying a plot of land blind, he’s offering YMC a share of the profits and the cash required to get the gold out of the ground.
The current shareprice is clearly cheap on any metric, just banking the 3 to 4 years gold profits remaining in Runruno would generate a one off dividend payment 2 to 3 times todays shareprice, but Darren Bowden is clearly confident he can use that cash to bring us multiple incomes, both short term and long term.
Opportunity is knocking and those who have sold out are itching to get back in, when the tide turns the share price will rally well beyond the 5p last seen, and 10p is still my target this year.
Thanks a lot would be good to get some numbers on the cost of moving the plant setting up ECT but it's a few years away but if the market knew it would say cost 30 mill to move set up am sure that a more reasonable valuation could be with us.
Would be somewhat ironic if they purchased a producer with a loan from Candy ?
In the interview given earlier this year it was said that small scale processing can be used in some prospective sites. A processing unit can be purchased for $1m.
The decommissioning and land restoration of the current mine will cost around $5m.
The processing plant and equipment, along with the fleet of mining vehicles will then be transferred to the site in the Abra tenement.
There will not be the same capital outlay for the new mine as there was for the current Runruno mine.
Costings should read
Is the reason the sp lies so low in that the market does not know the coatings off any future mine going forwards
We have or will have lots of cash, but until some figs or a buyout of another mine is known and done maybe it's the reason ?

A hunch based on what? Our CEO has repeatedly said no dividends, so there won't be any for the foreseeable.
1 trade at 4p at open and lots if buying today hmmmm!!
'Don't think Mr Candy is selling because he would have to announce it like last time.'
They announce it after the selling has happened when the % thresholds are crossed. Shareholders are always the last to know, that's why we don't get RNS releases saying they are 'about' to sell their shares, we get them after when they already have. Whether it is or isn't Candy, someone has been offloading a large chunk. doesn't matter if you're buying, just makes it easier to pick up cheaper shares.
Debt closure and Q2 results 'should' give this the kick up the jacksy it needs.
All the best
Just a hunch either way it's a 2 bag min tbis year imho
A small divi? Why? Surely they're going to use the cash generated to buy another mine?
I sold nearly all my Gold shares today, so as to lock-in my gains of the last 12 months. The Gold price maybe off its peak, but is still high, just sentiment for miners has come off the boil. Sold HOC, EDV, RSG, MTL, ANTO, WPM, PAF, BMV, CAML, and in the USA AGI, PAAS, & WPM. Maybe a wrong move, but a substantial profit was too much to resist vs potential drift downwards.

Q2 gold price so far has averaged $2350 over the last 9 weeks, with only 4 weeks to go this quarter looks set to blow Q1s $2069 average into oblivion.
I think the Q2 numbers will be the wake up call for how silly our market cap remains, 1 years profit before tax is greater in value than the company’s market cap, MTL the No1 miner in the Philippines with no debt, producing 80k ounce annual gold at a time of record high gold pricing and the few penny shareprice is still on offer, gold set to go much higher this year and unloved gold producing stocks will gain interest, MTL is the bargain of the lot, the vast cash generation will catch new investor interest in the the next few months.
Needs to break 4.6p and hold for a look at 5p. At the moment , its hovering at 3.9p mark.
I feel once the debt issue interest is resolved then it should be primed.
All IMO of course.
