Hi Guys/Gals

New to thread so I'll just be looking and learning from the vets here.

There's a lot of excitement in junior gold at present and I think that contagion may spill over into here and other undervalued stocks. - We'll see.

Good luck all.

very impressive presentation.

looking forward in the short term to the resource update.

in the medium term, if they install the new ball mill and are able to up production to over 200,000 oz per annum and/or accelerate processing of the low grade ore with heap leaching, that should improve cash flow still further.

plus, they plainly feel there is a lot more gold to be found.

Colin was of the view that the share price should have been north of £1 by now, and if sentiment towards mid cap miners changes at all ar. must be ideally placed to fly.

i own a lot of this, but am sorely tempted to dip in for some more.

New shorting rules to boost small caps

Traders will have to disclose where they are short of more than 0.2% of a company's shares, and if short of more than 0.5% the trader's position will be made public knowledge. New trading rules introduced by Britain's finance regulator could lead to an increasingly bullish mind-set in the City.

The rule changes, which became effective today, promise to put the brakes on rampant short selling by allowing the regulator to publicly disclose short positions, fine firms for short sales that aren't settled in time and give counterparties the right to force the 'shorter' to buy stock back.

It is thought the rules could make short selling - as a purely speculative pursuit - higher risk and less attractive. Shorts covered by stock lending will however not incur the penalties.

Under these new rules, traders will have to disclose where they are short of more than 0.2% of a company's shares, and if short of more than 0.5% the trader's position will be made public.

Making short positions public knowledge could potentially leave the 'shorter' vulnerable to rival firms.

This is particularly significant in the small cap market where there are fewer participants. In some cases only a handful of brokers make a market, and institutional dealers can have a big influence.

"I think we'll see the larger institutions flexing their muscles because they can at last," said Steve Asfour, head of sales trading at Fox Davies Capital.

"If they can see that X, Y or Z broker has a big short in one of their companies, let's be honest, it's not going to be difficult for them to squeeze someone by the short and curlies and make them close their short.

"It often doesn't take a lot to move these kinds of stocks."

Asfour says the effect of the rule change can already be seen as some small cap stocks have moved strongly in recent days driven by the covering of short positions before they had to be disclosed.

"We've already seen a squeeze in some stocks, as the rules have come in, but I think the real squeeze will come at the back end of next week when trades put on now are either covered or forced to buy back."

In the longer term however he believes the ruling could have a more lasting impact as it may alter the way market makers and traders approach the market.

"A lot of people have been trading with a bit of a bear hat on, that's just the way people have had to trade, and they'll now have to tweak their stance and trade with more of a bullish hat on.

"And to be fair with where some of these small caps are, frankly on their backsides, being bullish in them could be quite profitable."

"I think, and this is just my own opinion, that we'll see quite a sea-change in the way traders approach this market.

"I don't think we're going to see so many people approaching it from the bear point of view, trying to short any stock that's up on the day."

"I think they'll have to trade smarter now and look for bull stories over the bear stories for a change, which is the complete opposite of how a lot of people have traded in recent years."

NEW



broker RISKED value 40p

on commercial discovery will value multiple of this

NEW WORLD OIL & GAS+ (NEW, 8.9p, No Recommendation) – Highly positive update with live oil shows in Belize. E&P company New World Oil & Gas has released what is, in our opinion, an enormously encouraging update on operations at its flagship Blue Creek project in Belize. Specifically, the company announces that, following drilling of the Blue Creek #2 well, live oil shows have been confirmed in the Y3 and Hill Bank reservoirs, with logging results indicating a gross reservoir thickness of approximately 290ft. New World now plans to drill a deviated well up structure from the current location, with the aim of improving trap potential, obtaining improved log results with greater oil saturation, and increasing pay zone thickness. In the meantime, we are delighted to see confirmation of an active petroleum system, and note in particular the significant amounts of oil observed at surface while drilling (not to mention an excellent performance on well costs). New World intends to flow test Blue Creek #2 following drilling of the deviated section although, in the meantime, we believe that the B Crest prospect has already been substantially derisked by the latest results, which indicate a much increased likelihood of discovering a large oil accumulation. We are now looking to upgrade our earlier Risked NAV estimate of 40p/share, and expect to see a positive share price reaction today.

It's a seriously misleading to have a thread entitled "Archipelago Awaits ...." at the top of the list, so this post is being made to rectify the anomaly.

When cash builds up they have a very promising holding in Philippines to explore, not very far from MML's prolific Co-O mine.

It is amazing the lack of reaction. They said last quarter higher yield per tonne mined would happen - it did. They said cash costs would reman the sme therefore cost per oz. would fall - it did. Now can easily see 135k oz + and on it will go .
