Thanks for that bit of info Mattjos, it would indicate that more are taking notice of the progress of AAZ. Perhaps a flurry of activity is expected when the results are published?

5 MM's here now (as opposed to 4 for the last few years) but, they still move the spread out to 3p at first sign of determined buying.
Looking at the trading volumes dry up as the spread widens, folk are less willing to get involved when they do this. MM's will have to narrow the spread if they want any business between news releases.

peterpowell21, you too have noticed that correlation. An article in the Sunday broadsheets giving a puff to this or that 'solid prospect', merely a device to give insiders a chance to off load stock. Not quite so sure it works in the metal markets though given the divergent uses of gold and copper, one will work to industrial cycles and the other to investment cycles. In the long run paper declines against real things, but will one live long enough!

Gold and copper still being forced down it seems

[henwii] 09/7/2018 13:23

Gold seems to be going in the right direction too.

[mattjos] 09/7/2018 12:01

Yes, indeed you are quite correct wrighty. That is what happened in circa 2010 .. the news broke in the Azeri press first before the RNS was issued here.

[wrighty46] 09/7/2018 11:30

Last 4 years update has come between 11th -17th July. So anytime from Wednesday onwards but to am leaning towards some time next week. Regarding resources updates, company estimates compliant to Azeri ministry would be most welcome a few weeks before the official Jorc is released. The company has done this in the past.

[mattjos] 09/7/2018 10:51

should know by next Tuesday + some details about Flotation production rates

[bumpa33] 09/7/2018 10:30

it’ll be the “net debt” figure to watch - total debt minus cash/cash equivalents on hand. Really silly cheap is surely nailed on barring anything unforeseen!

[lefrene] 09/7/2018 10:16

They also might prefer to retain the debt to keep working capital available, they currently have exploration expenditure to cover, and there might be tax reasons to run some debt? But if their projections of circa 80,000 eqv ounces are in line, and at a cost of $604 an ounce then the gross numbers look very good. It goes from very cheap to really silly cheap.

[bumpa33] 09/7/2018 08:15

Worth remembering that Reza’s $4m was paid off on the 29th March, falling in Q1...

[jbravo2] 08/7/2018 23:19

@bumpa

Yes

[brasso3] 08/7/2018 20:17

Well, in 2017 they reduced net debt by $16.5m which is around $4.1m per quarter. With the high gold price in 2018 and the debt becoming less of a burden (lower interest rate) I can see them wiping $6m - $7m off in Q2.

From Q4 (2017) to Q1 (2018) they managed to reduce net debt by $8m!

"Net debt reduced by 43% during Q1 2018 to $10.4 million at 31 March 2018 (31 December 2017: $18.3 million)"

[bumpa33] 08/7/2018 20:09

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, these should be the numbers that really put AAZ on the map.

[bumpa33] 08/7/2018 20:05

judging by the numbers from the traditionally weak Q1 then net debt could well be down to zero or there abouts. I think the upcoming update could be nothing short of phenomenal but let's see.

[gutterhead] 08/7/2018 16:44

could be yes

[brasso3] 08/7/2018 16:32

Anyone else think net debt could now be down to zero?

[jbravo2] 08/7/2018 15:39

Intuition?
A lucky guess?
Something else?

[fatnacker] 07/7/2018 19:42

if there's no declaration how would you know there's something to declare ?

[peterpowell21] 07/7/2018 09:52

I agree with Mattios yes you do have to declare you holding at certain levels, up or down.But very rarely do you see them report at all, or weeks or even months after.
Regulations mean nothing in AIM.

[jbravo2] 06/7/2018 18:22

Seller finished and back to 50p in short order.
Q2 results to provide plenty of impetus.
Then we await end of Q3 and DIVIDEND

:)

[bozzy_s] 06/7/2018 17:02

Seller appears to be gone. I've more than doubled my position. Long term investment hoping to be earning 10% pa in future dividends (~4p).

[mattjos] 06/7/2018 16:37

You are all a bit green if you think holders declare here
