Hey mate sounds like you are really confused. If my take is correct you seem to really believe in the CPM projects and fundamentals. On the other hand you are reluctant to invest due to share price action lately.

All I would say is make up your mind based on the facts at hand and not on the things you don't know. Of course the selling lately makes you nervous but in reality this could be due to any one of a variety of reasons.

Ultimately every investor has to take FULL ownership of their own buying or selling. In regard to communication from Ian, I think we need to put things in perspective. He has a lot going on at present. On top of the exploration work he has released an update to the ASX on the VTEM survey results including where drilling is up to at Ardmore and when first assays are likely to be returned. He also did a video update of this news. In reality, I don't think he can make any further comments to investors that he can legally say at this point in time.

Ardmore South is a very compelling target and to date I haven't seen any info that sways away from this. Ultimately drilling will confirm or deny the potential here. CPM is by no means a one trick pony though. I was very keen to see what the VTEM survey in the north showed up. Even though the market didn't respond, the news was very positive in identifying 10 high priority conductor targets.

Anyway, I have rambled on enough and probably haven't helped you make a decision. However, whatever you decide just take ownership of it without any regrets! Best of luck mate!
