All technical indicators seem to be pointing to a fairly substantial move in the short term ... hopefully up. I don't know much about technical analysis (leave that to Ecn) however the graph indicates that there is some sort of triangular pattern appearing (top of the triangle at 25c and bottom of the triangle an upward trend). I was under the impression that this is a bit of a bullish signal? Anyone care to comment and set me straight?

18 months to 2 years away ... who knows. Hopefully a zinc producer earning cash and being valued on a p/e basis? As far as mergers or takeover I'd like to think that there would be some possibility of this happening however the reality is that Perkoa is a fairly small (yet high grade) mine. I think it would be a touch difficult for a major player to justify taking it over unless the reserves at Perkoa were substantially increased. At that point a possible takeover could be justified. I hope that the USD 10 million which AIM were setting aside for further exploration around Perkoa is put to good use in the short to medium term.

I find it pretty interesting (and reassuring) that Nth Sound are effectively propping the price up with their late in the day buying. Would it be too far fetched to believe that possibly they are working with the AIM management to manipulate the price?

Only concerns I have is the rather large jumps in LME zinc inventory. Zinc price has held up relatively well in spite of this however. Certainly hope we get some news on offtakes sooner rather than later (surely before the end of the month as that is the expiry of the extension sought after by AIM mangement on the convertible notes).

All in all ... still a believer however the lack of newsflow can be a bit disconcerting at times.
