The View From The Montana Log-Cabin: “The (Gold) Bull Market Is Here, People – It’s Time To Make Money”
After another strong week, Gold closed at yet another record high – now $2,330, well up on last week’s $2,233. Silver smashed through strong resistance at $26 (now $27.44) and, as can be seen on the chart below of Gold vs the mining ETFs GDX (majors), GDXJ (juniors) and GOEX (explorers), they too had another good week and my Gold mining portfolio is looking far healthier than it has for a long time. That, after a week during which the US reported far stronger jobs than expected and US Treasury yields headed north (which should have stalled things somewhat), suggesting that precious metals have, for now, decoupled from everything else.- By Nigel Somerville |

Amaroq Minerals – first underground mining blast at Nalunaq, with further upcoming catalysts. Value BUY, More than 50% upside
Amaroq Minerals (AMRQ) has announced that a successful first underground mining blast at Nalunaq has been initiated, emphasising this a “key step towards full commissioning of the Nalunaq mine”. This is just the start and we believe that further operational progress will drive a re-rate as this is, at a current 76.2p share price, £249 million ($315 million) market capitalisation, a value buy.- By Tom Winnifrith & Steve Moore |

Looking Hard at Probably the most Traded Share in Blighty - and Asking Why?
Hello Share Bashers. Week after week, the most traded share in Blighty is the Black Horse Bank. That deserves an examination by this most respected of financial websites. One explanation of the usual trading frenzy is the negligible spread. And that’s because - and how’s this for a circular argument - the shares are traded a lot. But there’s another reason. Most analysts reckon that at just over 50p the shares are a bargain. But not all do, which is why it’s worth probing again what the arguments are.

Xeros Technology – another of Neil Woodford’s disastrous ‘revolutionising’ picks… so “Fundraising” (materially discounted, natch)
Most recently on Xeros Technology (XSG) last year with the shares rising to 4.15p, I wrote agreement with “potential to deliver substantial revenues”… so also the potential not to & how’s that balance sheet? – concluding that it was looking towards a funding crunch AGAIN and still a Sell.

GOTCHAL: Red Rock Resource and a partial ’fess, Lenigas ramps again
I flagged up a couple of days ago here how a twitter statement from Red Rock Resources (RRR) that at its main site in Burkina Faso, there was “gold, gold, f***ing gold everywhere” was not quite a measured and balanced RNS and needed correcting. Andrew Bell disagreed in the comments section below insisting that as a scholar and a gentleman he had played it with a straight bat. However….- By Tom Winnifrith |

The word on the street is that Argo Blockchain (ARB) is, despite flogging its Mirabel facility, still looking to raise up to $25 million to help repay its borrowings which now stand at c$54 million.

The FRAUD Supply@Me Capital: a weak and incomplete update fails to convince
The latest kick the can down the road business update from Supply@ME capital (SYME) is a typical Alessandro Zamboni announcement full of promises of jam tomorrow. Zamboni famously said that Supply was “ready to fly” back in a Proactive podcast on 5 January 2021. Over 3 years later and more than 4 years since its RTO Supply is looking more likely to crash land in tits up alley. Wikipedia informs us that the Wright brothers actually did manage to fly in less than 3 years.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Here we go again: is is market abuse or insider dealing at Roquefort? Will the FCA do anything?
Last time it was the fake bid for Superdry (SDRY) with an ADVFN (AFN) poster claiming he was an employee and had specific information. That was not true so it was not insider dealing but market abuse. Natch the FCA seems to have done nothing. So now here we go again.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Cirata ( Wandisco as was) from $30m fund raise to material uncertainty and a warning in just nine months!
Way to go chaps. You can change the name, you can get rid of bosses who awarded themselves huge bonuses AFTER massive fraud emerged, but once a dog, always a dog. Just nine months after raising a bailout $30 million at 50p ( having had its shares suspended at c£13), Cirata (CRTA) has served up results, a piss poor trading statement and has had to flag up a material, uncertainty.
