  4. Continental Resources Development Group Ltd Directors - latest innocent mug pawns used to ramp WRN?

    Very nice CRD info splashed all over the GMM website in the absence of any other meaningful information about GMM itself. Gratuitous bragging of tenuous provenance through investment (twice removed) from Quilter Cheviot and Investec.

    Wonder if CRD paid for any shares in GMM or WRN???????

    Could this be a prelude to another CPS Energy Resources type deal that ramps up WRN share price but never materialises?

    “GMM’s shareholders include the Continental Resources Development Group Limited (“CRD”). CRD have a very strong shareholder base which includes financial institutions such as Quilter Cheviot and Investec. CRD are currently developing gold projects in Ghana and are looking to expand into new geographical areas such as Greenland. The highly experienced CRD team is presented in the link below:

    http://www.greenlandmmltd.com/#!crd/c13s9”

    These legit guys may be the next pawns in the bigger WRN game:

    Richard Wilkins MA FCA
    Executive Director & Chairman, CRD

    Alexander Polikashin

    Sir Sam Jonah KBE

  5. How are Worthington Group PLC going to pay for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards they say they will be hosting?

    Entry deadline extended for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards! But still no indication of where or when the awards will be held.

    Could it be that no venue would accept a booking from Worthington Group, Nick James, Allan Biggar or Business Edge Network Ltd that has no money and is insolvent with accounts overdue?
