** huge capital raising?, page-8

Ooowee.Have you got a spare hour or so Death Star.

It appears Mr Parrot(and others on this site) like to speculate on the outcome of Bfs's.Parrots acsertion? is that because the market is going down coming into the bfs that the Bfs is no good.I'd be saying well hold on a sec.Have a look at the sudden rise in the stock back at the end of July and also take into account the fact that it has over 500M on issue and that traders have been pretty heavily involved in it at times and one could probably come to the conclusion that its more likely that its some traders/brokers with overhanging stock are getting rid of them.

Also have a look at the companies last couple of annmnts re Interim Report:A viable mining venture(11th Aug 2005) based on the current market for Zn(and factor in the analysts thoughts that Zn is only headed up)and the fact that Aim submitted said report to the Government of Burkina Faso and it seems to point in one direction.

Now you can call me gullible but if a company commits itself this far in positive terms with reference to a Bfs and it holds a resource that seems to be confirmed by parrallel drill results that shows the validity of previous results and the resource size(which is not insignificant for a small company-even though its not(possibly) larger than prior indications)then why should one necessarily think that the market is saying the Bfs is rubbish.

The Gip story?

Too involved and convoluted Death Star.Suffice to say a lot of the people on this site are short term traders and have little tolerance of stocks that dont hold to a timetable or dont come out with a positive annmnt every 2 seconds.Gip is even worse in that it trades little stock as it appears to be very tightly held(or totally forgotten about by holders)which is like a red rag to a bull for a short term trader as obviously they cant trade an illiquid stock.Just the nature of the beast.
