Thanks to the sponsorship of Sure Valley, Riverfort Global & Pires Investments (PIRI) we are expanding the number and quality of speakers and are able to offer up more fun and games at Sharestock this year - as you can see HERE. In this first episode of Altcast looking at small caps and AIM I chat to Brian Kinane and Liam Bulmer of Riverfort about why AIM and small caps had such a dreadful H1 2023 and why that might change. Enjoy.

On 16 December after almost a year of suspension on the (sub) Standard List, Dev Clever (DEV) announced that it was to delist, lying to investors by saying that it could not raise cash on that market. Of course it had been offered cash by Riverfort so that was a demonstrable lie from a company whose serial lies this website had exposed so often. It now gets even murkier.

The roadshow started yesterday says a reliable City source. Having raised £10 million last June at 30p c/o the scholars and gentlemen at Turner Pope and blown all of that plus a £4 million Riverfort loan already, Deepverge (DVRG) cannot make the first £500,000 loan repayment to Riverfort due on Sunday as I discussed earlier.

On the 16th of this month Deepverge (DVRG) has to repay £500,000 in cash to alternative finance provider Riverfort. And then the same again on 16th November, December, January and February before a final loan repayment of £1.5 million in March. Guess what? Deepverge does not have any cash. It is running on vapours and so will only survive into 2023 by drawing down more Riverfort debt. Now how to solve this?

What is it with disgraced Ms Sarah Cope of Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) when she is faced with two deals for her shareholders she always goes for the worse option.

Jubilee Platinum (JLP) last week announced a $50 million funding package to grow its metals recovery business. Oh no Riverfort! Said the snipers. Death spirals, yak, yak, yak. They have it wrong. This deal is, if you read the detail, good news.
