The Biden administration on Tuesday suspended oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
The remote, 19.6 million-acre refuge is home to polar bears, caribou, snowy owls and other wildlife, including migrating birds from six continents. Republicans and the oil industry have long been trying to open up the oil-rich refuge, which is considered sacred by the Indigenous Gwich’in, for drilling. Democrats, environmental groups and some Alaska Native tribes have been trying to block it.

:-) Very interesting Don .
I suppose you are going to voice your concern, but to who?
Your Canadian Government, or American.
Not that it will make any difference (Mate).
My sympathies for the rotten Politicians you have, not unlike Goldgnomes Australian lot.
And of couse the UK and
EU.
MrBond46,
What are you doing still awake ;-)
Thank you Don!
Great news indeed , common sense, decency and longer term thinking , all too often those in power choose to forget that they are also responsible for even those are unable to vote or simply because they have have no human voice have all the more right to be shown consideration and respect, even in preference of yet more wealth for the few and the convenience of the inconsiderate and ignorant.
Do you ever do anything but whine? Ever heard of the concept of taking responsibility for your own actions? Please save us from your unfounded sanctimonious preachings :)
Good Morning Tonsril,
At least if you are aiming your vitriol at me then others are fortunate to escape it.
Unfortunately though although some individuals take responsibility for their actions because they are in their own best interests without any consideration for how they will affect others or our planet, deselected Trump for example.
Glad you got the drift of my meaning it is all about our leaders setting by example and considering the wider impact of their decisions on our planet and all of its inhabitants.
Perhaps you would like to contribute something to the debate that others may find of interest or possibly you may have some news on Centamin?
Good to hear from you and looking forward to your next post.
Keep well Tonsril, not too much ketchup on the chips, or salt on your cornflakes or pancakes!
Tibbs
Probably nice and warm in Spain Don, so Mr Bond might be enjoying the sea view and some fine local wine that wont be taxed to buggery as in the UK!
Yes Mr Tibbles lovely and warm, with much less virus , the islands almost about to relax all restrict ions , and local vino of excellent quality, but not that cheap.
You pay for quality, not the same as the mass produced ,chemically enhanced export pee.
And Don I do have different hours here, one hour advanced than UK, and 7 hours in advance of Canada and the gud ole US of A.
Upon my return from a nice Bank Holiday break in London, I'm pleased to see Centamin hasn't got anywhere near the 82p target price that some analysts were predicting (I can't even remember who they were, now). Never trust anyone who has never got his/her hands dirty just about sums it up, I think.
It won't be long before the dividend hits my account and my next 'worry' will be when to buy. People are still expecting a correction in the gold price, but the price action on my Newgold and Yamana Gold shares is not saying that will happen just yet! Perhaps some large price spikes up will tell the tale.
I don't know what further social restrictions are due to be lifted in the UK on the 21st June, but shopping in London was a very quiet experience. People didn't seem to be spending very much in the shops (there weren't many people in the shops). The V&A museum was closed, which I thought was odd for a Bank Holiday. I did my very best to keep Foyles, Waterstones, Hatchards, M&S and John Lewis in business; the man in Foyles said he hoped to see me again - I did buy nine books in there! On my return journey home, I had the whole train carriage to myself for most of the way. I can't remember a time in my life when that has ever happened, even late at night on the south coast line returning home from work. What effect is this going to have on people? On the gold price?
We live in very strange times indeed.
PD James, awaits.
