Thought for today: Seven million people in UK – more than one in ten – now claim at least one sickness or disability benefit. Among those of working age, the number has jumped by more than 60% in six years, from 2.9 million to 4.7 million. Total welfare spending is set to exceed £322bn this year. That is more than five times what we spend on defence. share-talk.com/uk-welfare-sp…

Critical Metals has done rather well from our 15p call 🎳 reaching the third target at 40p. Above 40p, the next projected line pointed as high as 57p which has been breached. Reaching a target is one thing; establishing it as a platform for the next move is another. @ZaksTradersCafe take a bow 👏
Replying to @CriticalMetals_
@CriticalMetals_ : Targets cleared, with a golden cross approaching: #CRTM has already passed its first target at 15p and its second at 24p. Clearing 24p opens the possibility of an acceleration, although 40p by the end of October is a punchy objective. The 50-day moving average is approaching a cross above the 200-day average, a configuration known as a golden cross. The approach to that crossover can be a particularly strong phase for a chart. As long as the shares hold above recently broken resistance around 22p, the route towards 40p remains open. share-talk.com/traders-cafe-… @ZaksTradersCafe

Although one cannot tell it from the initial share price reaction, the finance facility for #BZT is a company maker, and one that de-risks it in terms of the flagship Hope and Gorob asset, particularly now that production is on its way. This could be the next @ColinBirdMining vehicle to leave the station – in share price terms of course. voxmarkets.com/articles/rns-… @ZaksTradersCafe
Replying to @BezantResources
@BezantResources (AIM #BZT) has secured a £4 million financing facility from US institutional investor Yorkville Advisors as copper concentrate production begins at its Hope and Gorob project in Namibia, with the first shipment expected in November 2026.
The copper and gold exploration company confirmed that it has entered into an agreement with YA II PN Ltd, managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, for a £4 million unsecured, non-convertible loan, providing working capital as operations move towards regular concentrate sales.
Copper concentrate production is now underway at Hope and Gorob, marking an important milestone in Bezant’s transition towards generating revenue from its mining operations. @ColinBirdMining

Replying to @CriticalMetals_
@CriticalMetals_ (LON #CRTM) has experienced one of the more extraordinary share price movements among London’s smaller resource companies, with its shares rising more than 150% in recent weeks, 675.29% over the past 6 months. What makes the recent share price performance particularly unusual is the company’s own response. On 15th October, following a substantial increase in its valuation, the board issued a statement confirming that it knew of no reason for the movement.
Such announcements do not necessarily imply that a share price increase is unjustified, but they underline the difficulty of attributing the rally to a specific operational development. Investors are therefore left assessing whether enthusiasm for copper and cobalt, expectations surrounding Molulu or speculative trading activity may be influencing the company’s valuation ahead of substantive field results. 🔗 Read the full article here: share-talk.com/four-small-ca…
One of the reasons that the London stock market underperforms the US markets, and many others, is the phenomenon of the “speeding ticket” RNS. Therefore, for @CriticalMetals_ (#CRTM) Follow to have to say the following is so lame: “The board of directors has noted the recent rise in the Company’s share price and confirms that it knows of no reason for this increase.” Anything else would have been more helpful. For instance, we are called Critical Metals, and critical metals are on fire at the moment. Or even, after years of bubbling under our time have finally come. Or the best: Zak Mir has called up the shares from under 10p last month, and given that they are 60p plus now, he is really good at technical analysis. 85p by the end of the month anyone? voxmarkets.com/articles/the-… @ZaksTradersCafe

This remains heavily tied to developments around Russia and Ukraine. There have been false starts before, notably in January and the previous November. The breakout is encouraging, but the question is whether this move can finally follow through. share-talk.com/traders-cafe-… @ZaksTradersCafe
Replying to @eurasiamining
@eurasiamining: A Breakout, but False Starts Are Familiar: #EUA has finally broken out of its falling trend channel around 2.25p and pushed through the 200-day moving average near 2.75p. The first upside reference is the top of the initial triangle around 3.5p. In the best case, the upper parallel of the triangle drawn from March points towards 4.8p, potentially by the end of November.
