First Tin Share Discussion Threads

1SN is suffering from three factors:

* The general malaise in Miners:

Especially Junior Miners. E.g. SOLG has $200 billion of Gold and silver in the ground...second biggest Tier 1 copper/gold prospect in the world, but its MCap is £215 million...

And that leads me to the second factor:

* Poor or no liquidity.

I know from my own experience as a quoted company GFD that if you have no liquidity the price just drifts as MMs mark the shares down to try and create volume

* It is at the bottom of the Lassonde Curve (i.e. the period building up towards full commercial production

But I continue to hold 500,000 shares at a 6.1p average because eventually value will out for these and other reasons:

* We are long overdue a boom in Miners, especially Juniors...the last one was 2011 and I made a bomb...despite forecast shortages in scarce metals (tin is used in every soldered joint in every electronic device on the planet...) prices languish and the main factor at the moment is the Trump fuelled strength of the dollar coupled with FOMO in US Tech stocks...

* 1SN was IPOed at a price of 30p when the tin price was $45k...it fell no lower than 10p even when the Tin price fell to $18k...it is now over $30k...

* Metals X bought 23% in July 2024 and has since increased to 29.9%...at 30% they must make a bid...

* The Directors have been steady and substantial buyers of the shares...26 million since the IPO...25 million in the last 8 months; 10.5 million at 6p in late November

Follow the money...Metals X is Australia's largest Tin producer with a MCap of 386M AUD...

Agreed - news will come etc

[wsm812] 08/1/2025 08:28

Patience all

[jpuff] 07/1/2025 14:48

This is proving to be a real duffer eh guys?

[value viper] 18/12/2024 09:25

I've bottomed drawered some shares £8 million in bank must fund them for a whileSaid a few times - so not think METX have invested for 6p per share

Sadly it seems to me that most exploration companies are more interested in drilling to increase the known resource under the ground rather then after finding the stuff, trying to get it out of the ground to provide the company with an income stream to be used for further exploration.

[wsm812] 17/12/2024 08:32

Today's RNS will get lost in the mire, but a careful read of the report suggests significant upside in the future revenue and asset values of 1st Tin. The study update in 2025 will confirm this, but now is the time to top up ahead of the confirmation.

[rougepierre] 22/11/2024 17:21

Frankly I don' think the market has a view beyond HOLD...just like SOLG...

No Brokers Ratings...probably institutions from the IPO still holding but...

Nobody is selling...Average Daily Volume 160k...I own 3 tines as many shares as that

And they're at the bottom of the Lassonde Curve, together with being correlated with the Tin price...

So the only way is up now? But if theres further dilution to build Taronga I'll top up to avoid dilution...

[value viper] 21/11/2024 14:22

I suspect MetalsX will be more interested in possibly acquiring Tarongo itself But certainly their involvement must derisk this now significantly

[jpuff] 21/11/2024 12:44

Well I obviously hope that you're right, but I can't see much evidence yet despite the 85% fall since floatation. The market seems to be saying the current price is fair.

[rougepierre] 20/11/2024 15:30

I didnt...but why would they get away with only 10p?

I wouldn't think the Chairman piled another £612k in just to make a £400k gain?

When BHP first bid for Noront at 55c (more than three times the share price a year before i.e.17c) they had zero shares...

Wyloo had to blow them out at 105c despite starting with a 37.5% stake and a 55c bid...

[jpuff] 20/11/2024 14:29

So if metalX make an agreed bid eventually at say 10p is this still a great outcome? Many bought in at 30p at the placing.

[rougepierre] 20/11/2024 12:33

This has to be one of the best bargains around...

Its NOT quoted on AIM and the story just keeps getting better

Under a reasonable scenario in their recent presentation the upside NPV of Taronga alone at $40k is 645mAUD or £331m sterling...

Metals X upped their stake to 29.91% in the recent raise...thats about as far as they can go without making a bid...

And the Chairman bought 10.2 million for a cost of £612k in that raise, taking his PERSONAL holding to 10%...

Listed on the Main Market, whats not to like?

As to liquidity I just easily bought 200,000 at 5.52p to raise my stake to 500,000 and more than recover my dilution.

Good luck...

[value viper] 19/11/2024 10:45

Tin price has come a bit lower but believe this is the wrong price having raised at 6p and now with MetalsX firmly aboard.

[jpuff] 14/11/2024 20:26

Just bumping along the bottom aimlessly after losing 85% of its value since flotation. Better value - no just a dead duck!

[jpuff] 11/11/2024 17:02

I guess a greater paper loss now hopefully turning up at some point in the future

[wsm812] 11/11/2024 14:49

Cheaper or better value?

[jpuff] 11/11/2024 13:06

Getting cheaper

[wsm812] 07/11/2024 13:45

Did you listen to the Investor Meet this morning? It was very impressive. They have a significant investor partner (metalX), a successful round of funding from the market and very good prelims from test sites. We are sitting pretty, keep your patience on this one. There may not be opportunities to get in at such a low price this time next year.

[jpuff] 07/11/2024 13:30

Beginning to alas look like one of those AIM lifestyle companies this. I do hold but am regretting it to be honest.

[loganair] 28/10/2024 23:29

The fund rasining of nearly 30% is basically for yet more Feasibility Studies and not to actually get anything out of the ground.

Typical exploration company, only seems to be interested in spending valuable cash on continually trying to find a bigger and bigger resourse under the ground rather then as soon as finding the initial resource to then get this initial resource out of the ground to provide an income which can be used for further exploration.

[soho2] 28/10/2024 20:48

Sorry..should have typed £0.06

[verulamium] 28/10/2024 20:16

Nearly had a heart attack there. Fortunately the placing's actually at 6p (£0.06). Worrying how often people on a financial bulletin board get this wrong.

[soho2] 28/10/2024 17:05

And ANOTHER placing at 0.06p

[soho2] 22/10/2024 15:40

Strange behaviour unless the large buys are large sells ??
