29/7/2015 12:19 | Looks like Baker Steel just sold 1.9% of the stock (26,450,000 shares). They did something similar earlier in the year but most of what they sold was bought up by Ruffer…leaving 16m shares for Investec to snap up with a big chunk of the free float. Either we're going to see another RNS today or tomorrow advising of a purchase by Ruffer or Investec or the free float will be 1.9% larger - 6.73 from 4.83% - which helps liquidity, which is obviously very tight. If there isn't a matching purchase by one of the other major holders it might suggest Baker Steel just don't like gold at the moment, and who could blame them. However, they are close enough to the MTL story to know there is plenty of value in the stock at these levels. Feels like this sale is part of a pre-arranged strategy rather than a shift out of gold - could be a little of both I guess. Odd that the price has dropped around 25%, indicating a big sell, but the volume reported over the past few days is tiny. The RNS says the transaction was yesterday - 28th - but it's not showing in the volume figures. Later today perhaps. Gold seems to have formed a little low around $1080-1090 but, from what I'm reading, it will probably ease past this heading lower. I'm not overly concerned even with a slide to around $950. MTL still holds great value, especially having backed off to 4.62p. Just like when Baker Steel sold its last big chunk of stock, creating an artificial low of around 3.75p, this could be a good jumping in or averaging down point. Nice spot from tombarr (off-line) of a recruitment ad for a driller for a Schramm 450 drill rig, indicating a return to step-out exploration drilling. All in my humble opinion and please do your own research. | lord badger | |
29/6/2015 15:08 | I went last year, and I was the only shareholder present, so I shouldn’t be hard to spot this year! | davegk | |
29/6/2015 14:53 | We'll be thinking of you HP! | lord badger | |
29/6/2015 14:27 | :) Have fun! | hutch_pod | |
29/6/2015 13:57 | Do we need a password or shall I just carry a copy of The Times! | lord badger | |
29/6/2015 12:53 | I’ll see you there then, Lord Badger. I am also interested in finding out what the all in sustaining cost is and would like some more details on the timing for the start of production. | davegk | |
29/6/2015 09:06 | Yes. Points of focus: step out drilling programme, availability of all-in sustaining cost per oz, update on other EPs. Anything to add? | lord badger | |
29/6/2015 08:13 | Anyone going to the AGM tomorrow? | davegk | |
12/6/2015 09:32 | April Picture Gallery is up. | tombarr | |
08/6/2015 08:54 | deucher, not necessarily, the weakness is liquidity, and if as a result Baker Steel's sharea find their way into smaller holders things could change for the better. | holism | |
05/6/2015 17:14 | Baker Steel's stake of 130000000 shares are an impediment to the upward share price. | deuchar | |
05/6/2015 10:04 | tombarr, always good to be out on the up side! On the 13p offer price, we have to consider that offer predates a fair bit of stock dilution; 269m versus 1,374m today. The prospects at the time of the offer were roughly the same as today; 96,700 Au per annum, $477 op cost, 10 year mine life, $150m mine cost and Au, strangely enough, was around $1,200. 13p valued the co at 35m then: 6.5p values the co at £89m now. So you could say we're past the offer price already…howeve | lord badger | |
05/6/2015 09:23 | Hol, you're right, it is virtually like a private company and almost was. Crazy really that the price of 92% of the stock is being set by the traded 8%. So if smaller retail investors think the company stinks or don't like what they see and head for the exit, larger private holders catch a cold. Hardly surprising then that the company is good with regular Op Updates and image galleries, although I expect this has as much to do with keeping a tiny number of very large investors abreast of progress. | lord badger | |
05/6/2015 08:49 | Thanks for the sensible view on the non-appearance of the gallery, which I understand. But as it's inconsistent it would be nice if there was a formal explanation ("Updated gallery of pictures of the facility will appear here at the time of the AGM") I was also out - in a good way, so it turns out - by around by 25 to 30 $ on my backwards-calculated gold price hedge estimate; my $1259 v circa $1287 in the AR. Good, at the moment! Also, absolutely agreed on the quasi private company and the likelihood of a proper re-rating. Please. That 13p failed bid level would be a great first step. | tombarr | |
05/6/2015 07:56 | Lord Badger- the liquidity is so small here its almost like a private company. I agree though no need to pump the PR button until corporate action. Tell it how it is and let the share price do its bit!! In August when the mine is finally live the share price should rise steadily. We we see!! | holism | |
04/6/2015 17:09 | Agreed HP. None of the key dates seem to have slipped. Also an update on the tax situation re FTAA vs RMC17 and I particularly like the language around "realising shareholder value". I think Mr Holzberger has played this all very well. He's kept his powder dry with the media, preferring to keep quiet until the mine is operating rather than making bold statements and having to retract them when inevitable delays occur, and he's kept us up-to-date with a series of solid and very detailed Op Updates and site images. Hats off to you sir. tombarr, I expect we'll get a flurry on new images around the time of the AGM at the end of the month. Can't blame him for keeping a few back for a big flourish during his presentation. | lord badger | |
04/6/2015 16:03 | Looks on track to me. Thorough update. | hutch_pod | |
03/6/2015 14:58 | If anyone from the Company is monitoring this BB, or knows somebody there, can we please have a pictorial update on Runruno? The photo gallery was last updated in March. Thanks. | tombarr | |
20/5/2015 16:08 | Hopefully they will put out a current research note soon :) | hutch_pod | |
20/5/2015 15:53 | hol, I agree re the exploration potential. I was thinking about tombarr's comment on a sale when the mine is fairly new; near it's optimum value. Given we still have 350,000oz Au in Inferred (based on the latest update in 2011!) and given the size of the property (bear in mind the comparisons with Cripple Creek a few years back), optimum value may be down the track a bit. Hopefully we will see a rapid return to step-out drilling once the mine reaches full production and from there see some solid upgrades / mine life extensions. I'd like to see the house broker put some meaningful though to a new target share price It's like 15p is some mystical number which doesn't change, regardless of PoG, share dilution, resource upgrades, etc. Perhaps they know something we don't and 15p is the meaning of life. Perhaps they've beaten Stephen Hawking to the theory of everything; 15p | lord badger | |
20/5/2015 13:22 | Many years ago I met someone who told me to buy these -said I would make a fortune.Anyway bought a few -enough to be interested but not that many to bother if it went t*ts up. So here we are. I gave up on watching this closely this several years ago but still holding as punt money. Be nice if it ever did something though! | meijiman | |
20/5/2015 12:47 | Thanks LB. Will do. I guess the extra dimension is how ASX is valuing its producers versus AIM - both fairly negative towards mining, but perhaps ASX more so? | hutch_pod | |
20/5/2015 11:29 | HP, take a look at their web site: They're an explorer focused purely on the Philippines, just like MTL. A few years back MTL had a JV with them at Masapelid...which seems to have dropped off the radar. Gary Powell, who oversaw the early stages of Runruno exploration is now with them. They have more active EPs and more Au in the ground (with higher extraction costs) but appear very similar in other respects. I can't find any other companies closer to MTL's profile. I guess they are one of MTL's main competitors. | lord badger |
