It's been nearly 4 years since we've had any news on this. I'd hope that by now spmp has the facility running at near on full capacity. Has anyone had a reply from lavina? I've emailed several times but heard nothing back.

Hi xxxx
I am sorry for the delay in responding. I am trying to ascertain whether Crispin’s resignation etc. will affect Tri-Star going forwards, but am still waiting for a response.
My usual contact has been placed on gardening leave so I am now chasing up through another contact and will get back to you as soon as I have more information.
Kind regards
Lavinia

Howdy. Yeah, chat is still active.. occasionally people post... but still ultimately waiting for an escape route for TSTR to exit with a profit from it's investment in SPMP. The latest full accounts for TSTR (and directors statement) from October 2022:

Has undoubtedly been slow, on commissioning the plant and getting it up to full production. Until then I guess, nothing will happen with a liquidity event, until such time as it's been running productively and producing revenue! Can see this taking a while longer yet, in terms of having to wait for a payoff for TSTR. Nothing to do but wait and hope! GLA.
Last post: Tradehobbs, 16 Dec 2022 14:50
The plant must be fully commissioned by now, surely some good news from SPMP coming soon.
I wonder what the exit strategy for TSTR will be..
Has anyone get any news regarding this? I was hoping we would have heard something by now.
Last post: Fuzzbox, 2 Sep 2022 11:49
Thank you!
Since their departure from AIM - they set up a facility to be able to trade... through the Asset match platform. Auctions used to be every 3 months, but they have moved to six months now... so next one ends in February 2023! There is a link to this, from the Tri-Star website:
http://tri-starresources.com/
https://www.assetmatch.com/app/OurCompanies/CompanyProfile?companyId=1531
You need to register - and use a trading platform that interacts with Asset Match.. check with IG if they do?
How do you track this? I'm with IG, my TSTR are with them, but how would I participate in the Auction, or next one?
Latest auction completed yesterday.. 100k shares sold at 2.75p!! Hoped for some good news by now.. Still waiting to find out what will happen with our shares. GLA.

I've still been checking this page a couple of times a week for any news from anyone; I admit this was a bit of a punt with very little research on my part. When I saw the increased antimony prices recently this share caught my attention once again. I don't even know the reason why they de-listed, nor why there is so little news now we are apparently producing at a decent rate. Like everyone else I'm hoping for a nice liquidity event, I'm holding a modest amount at 2.6p, it would be nice to see a decent return on my investment. No idea why they increased the auction length, perhaps it's something to do with the sale price being on a downward trend? I'll welcome any info from those better informed.
With the price of antimony at record highs (14kUS/ton) and Gold surging... I would suspect the profits are starting to roll in for SPMP... which makes our stake much more valuable! Hopefully, they will keep raking it in, until such time as it comes to market, or they make an offer for our shares! BTW - anyone know why the Asset Match auction has gone from quarterly to semi-annually (ie every six months, instead of 3 now)? GLA.
SPMP has stated that discussions among the shareholders are ongoing around an exit strategy for investors, however there are currently no firm plans for a listing at the moment.
The plant is currently producing daily and we are repeatedly setting monthly production records. Sales have represented a significant proportion of the global market in December and January.
It’s anyone’s guess how this will plan out.. will we be offered a buyout prior to the listing..
For those still holding shares, what is the chance the company might get listed again, making our investment tradeable again? I'm sure if the installation is cash generating there would be little to no reason to seek public funding.
Yes - pretty quiet, not been any updates on the Tri-Star website since the 30th June one either... keeping it on the low, but I hope the plant is fully operational now, and belting out the antimony and gold!! Still hold my shares... and hopeful we will get an offer or taken out if/when SPMP come to market.
I'm a holder, not many updates from this project. Bottom draw for now but hopefully one day we'll get a return on our investments.

Website gives a positive vibe... no developments with TSTR shares and a buyout, live in hope though...

Nice to see others still interested enough to post on here. I'm hanging on for as long as it takes to my shares.
No news on progress on the roaster which I find strange as the OMANI,s would want to sing the praises of their flagship project...Tristar results up to December 2020 can be found on company's house .Reading the results I would hope we are swallowed up by SPMP in the next 12 months if not sooner.If one wants to know the direction tstr will go in look at it from Crispin Odey perspective and what's best for him as he is the major shareholder..
Is there any information to be found (operational progress/results, financial structuring etc.) It's clear they want to hold the project out of the spotlight, but still believe it's worth holding shares of Tristar.

According to the latest tristar update .30th June 2021 .SPMP will likely come to market and it will have swallowed up Tristar.Either a cash payment for the 16% or we have shares in a listed SPMP.
Thank you HotShot for your comments. Agree, it is early days yet. Need to get a bit more water under the bridge before anything might start moving.
I think it's a little early to make this judgement on the possibility of a sale of the 16% though... The roaster was not scheduled to be up to full production until mid-2021, so it could possibly still be just about getting to full capacity. However, the antimony price is strong, over $11k per mt now, so if/when it's belting out the antimony, it will be raking in the profits! Re-financing the debt long-term could also be a possibility. So, maybe next year... we could see interest in acquiring our 16% share if it's making vast profit per month. Have to wait and see.. .but, I am not selling mine for a few pennies either! :) GLA.
@itslikeacasino
Thank you for your input. Things can change quickly, we don't know what could be going on in the background, just hang tight. I have a small holding, so I'm under no pressure to sell. It was a small punt for myself. Hope it works out for you and thank you once again for responding.
It seems as this is going to be a long term investment. I think that if the Omani’s were keen on acquiring our 16% that would have made an offer by now. So I think it’s more likely going to be dividends, however based on the very expensive dept that SPMP has and also the fact that Crispin Odey will receive his 2 million loan back first it probably will be over 3 years before the minority shareholders start receiving dividends. And all this depends on if the roasters are able to run consistently at full speed. I personally have so much invested in this that it doesn’t make sense for me to sell for a few pence, however I can understand why a lot of investors are wanting to sell at the moment

Hi Fussbox.
I think it would be a good idea to make contact by email first and then we can exchange tel numbers and discuss the best way to cross the shares. My email address is kevin@bluemedinvest.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Kevin
I've got 17600 I can sell at 5p. Will accept BTC/ETH/BUSD equivalent. I guess I need to consult with IG if you're interested, to find out how to gain custody of them.
Does anyone know of anyone that would be interested in selling 200,000 shares at 5p. I see that someone has 245,000 shares offered @4.75. Would love to know who this is and would be happy to buy these.
Yes that’s fine. You can email me on kevin@bluemedinvest.com and we can exchange tel numbers.
Hi Stay Long, I only keep a modest 26000 shares of Tristar; but I'm interested to sell them @ 5. Let me know if you're interested.

You seem keen STAY LONG and we haven't had an update from the company or from anywhere on the progress on production from the roaster.Your timing is probably spot on as initial thoughts from tristar was they expected to reach full production by summer 2021.A fully producing roaster is likely to create significant revenues and with debt renegotiated surely our percentage of spmp must be worth many multiples of today's auction price.I'm also intrigued as to why Mr Odey has parked up on the Board .

There is an update from mid March on Tri-Star's website.
I'm intrigued to see if any buys come in just before the deadline. I'm not familiar with how this type of auction works but I would have thought if you were a bidder, you would be leaving it till quite late?
According to the rns concerning the plan to delist and the deal to reduce to 16% the roaster would be expected to reach full production in the summer of 2021.I suspect this time frame will not be met but it's interesting that Odey is now a Director.Does he see another focus for tristar ?if he like us all is merely waiting for a liquidity event he doesn't need to be a director.No buy orders as yet on the asset match platform and auction end is almost upon us.

I've got a small holding picked up on a whim before delisting. No rush to sell : planning on holding for hopefully big returns.
I hadn't previously considered buying more but looking at auction am tempted to put in a low-ball offer
@Chitta
Not much action on the Auction front at the moment. Will be interesting to see if things pick up closer to the closing date?
We still maintain 16% of SPMP.so the demand for Antimony only makes the 16% potentially increasingly more valuable assuming the roaster hits it's target.Auction completes in circa 20 days so be enlightening to see what the average sp comes in at.
.....t I t s up just as antimony was getting attention.
