Boulby mine is the Polyhalite story, Sirius on the other hand did an absolute job on small local investors.

No mention of the people who lost their life savings.

A lot of whom seemed to plough everything they had and couldn’t afford to lose into a single investment based on something they heard in the boozer from the Wolf of Wetherspoons.

Who then kicked off about corporate greed when it went wrong, despite only getting in because of the promise of it being a ten bagger.

I bought for minus 25p and now they are worth 100 trillion each.
Bit gutted - I only got one

I know loads of people who lost a lot of money on Sirius. People working in the engineering industry who became emotionally attached to the stock having worked on the initial study for the mine near Whitby. I have no sympathy for them.

Anywho, I'm literally working on the design of the mine right now. It's a phenomenal engineering achievement. The scale of it is mind boggling.
