That's a good call for me 2603, I have added also today because its near 1 & 3 year lows.Over 11% div, good company and is part of my div dogs portfolio, I normally add to these companies when nearing 1 year lows.Good luck with your investments.

This has to be the most easiest buy in the market today, it’s a very well run company, no debts, high dividend with cash in bank and it’s at a 4 year low. I’m deffo buying more from today until end of year.

Most likely cause of the recent falls is one or more large seller combined with the poor conditions on aim currently. Of course the recent copper price has not helped.

Quite by chance there is an article on Stocko just published. Here is a salient snippet.

"The poor share price performance may have actually created somewhat of an opportunity for the patient value investor. A price-to-earnings ratio of 6.8 is below the historical average of recent years, and a price-to-free cash flow of 7.7 is particularly enticing too. Given the weak momentum, but strong quality characteristics and attractive valuation, Central Asia Metals is now classified as a ‘Contrarian217; pick according to the StockRanks Styles."

I bought some early this week which was clearly a bit premature. But in the long run its likely to end up being a decent investment. GLA

The sector is not looking good at the moment because of China stimulus not working as hoped.
Also as its main copper production is based in Kazakhstan, there is some risk due to its proximity to Russia.
So any uncertainty has a negative effect to any stock share price.

Why the relentless selling from £2?

CAML will be presenting at a Proactive ONE2ONE investor forum on Thursday 14th November from 17:45 onwards at The Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel (35 Charles Street, Mayfair, London, W1J 5EB)

Relentless fall here. Small consolation is that other Cu miners also getting battered!

[spawny100] 08/11/2024 19:14

As I understand most of Kounrad copper is sold to Turkey. Turkey seems pretty allied to Russia so could Russia be sourcing copper there? UK has just announced a load of new sanctions including some on Kazakh entities and others that help supply the Russian industrial military complex. CAML are not on the list but I wonder if this could be causing some weakness here? I could of course be barking up the wrong tree but was just a thought....Https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-strikes-at-heart-of-putins-war-machine

Same here Spawny100, I have a selection of 20 shares in my portfolio: financials, miners, industrials, investment managers and I've just run down the list looking at 50 day MA and only 6 of the 20 aren't in a falling trend. So it's nothing specific, maybe it's something to do with having a government that would give Milliband a job turning the clock back to the dark ages. He couldn't run a bath.

[spawny100] 08/11/2024 15:32

Something doesn't seem right here. But then I feel much the same about most of my UK shares the last month or so!

[melton john] 08/11/2024 13:27

2603, I have to differ with your view that CAML should move to the Main Market and would be interested in your reasons why you think it would be better served.
My reasoning is as follows:
1, Although it's listed on AIM, it uses the SETS trading service which enables brokers to place an order on the order book, if you wanted to use a broker who offered other than execution-only trading. You will see trades shown as AT, the same as institutional trades where trades are between just two parties.
2, For online execution-only trading you can still use the market makers retail service which will quote a price and show on the LSE as an off-book trade.
3, Having this alternative to a small number of market-makers gives a smaller spread most of the time but liquidity via a market maker as a back-up. So I don't agree with your claim of manipulation being a problem peculiar to AIM which would improve on the main market.
4, The costs of a main market listing are considerably higher because of the extra rules and regulations I believe and these costs would have to be born by CAML

[bozzy_s] 08/11/2024 13:04

2603 it's a balancing act isn't it? On one hand if a share price is always strong, there's never an opportunity to buy. On the other, being on AIM perhaps reduces a company's credibility and therefore its share price. How many main market £300m+ cap companies are paying a sustainable 10.6% dividend?

It might drop a few more pence, but assuming no nasty surprises with production numbers my money's on 170 being a good entry point. 10.6% annual divi and potentially 10-20% capital growth in the short term.

[parob] 08/11/2024 09:14

Entered 172. Looks pretty safe bet around here plus lovely dividend too.

[2603] 07/11/2024 21:36

This stock has to get out of the Aim market so it can stop getting manipulated

[2603] 07/11/2024 20:28

The only copper stock that’s down!!! With the best % divi. This doesn’t make sense.

[pughman] 07/11/2024 17:22

Compared to this time last year CAML's pool of metals today are 15% higher, and its been like that for a while. The $/denar/tenge is also helping with costs.

[bozzy_s] 07/11/2024 16:02

To the 150s like last time? Copper price has been strong though, so they're making good money. Currently $4.45 / lb. It was down at $3.85 when CAML bottomed out at 152p in Feb/Mar '24.

10.6% divi yield makes it very tempting to buy now. Especially in the knowledge that they're making more money now than in H1, when they were happy to declare 9p interim divi. So should be a pretty safe bet to be maintained.

[justiceforthemany] 07/11/2024 15:02

Copper surging and this is tanking.

[rk123] 07/11/2024 13:34

How much lower can this go.....am I misssing something?

[mattybuoy] 06/11/2024 11:01

Don't under-estimate the importance of a good nickel/copper sulphides discovery in Scotland. These things are as rare as rocking horse poo.

If there is a viable deposit there I don't think the usual permitting/nimby stuff would apply, as these are "green" metals.

[mattybuoy] 06/11/2024 10:17

From the Aberdeen Minerals website. It's a private company, so there are no RNSes or anything I was just periodically checking the website.

[gotabsirius] 06/11/2024 08:35

Where did you get info from re the drilling? Thanks

[mattybuoy] 05/11/2024 15:01

Aberdeen drilling is complete. Looks good, assays to follow.

[smackeraim] 29/10/2024 08:49

copper suddenly pumping
