Fair point, Phillis. It was more the surrounding evidence, including a "convincer" or two, that persuaded me that things had become tense within the co in roughly the way I had suggested. Of course all sources had their spin, and I might well have been fooled.
However I am still a fan of Roger T and now feel confident that this not-exactly-rocket-science project in Zaca will FINALLY start producing (late summmer) and we'll all prosper out of it.
Will be topping up to the tune of c. 300,000 shortly, following a property sale. Do not intend to touch the shares then til they're well north of 50p. When that happens, I'll be hosting an unruly party in Dublin to which the more assiduous post-ers will be invited.
