2021....
Bill Gates warns of smallpox terror attacks
2 days ago
We are listening now and the USA is where the big bucks are and Suzanne has jockeyed VAL into prime position to fast forward its projects
What a pity VAL is now firmly in the grip of Day Traders who with borrowed shares in the thousands ramp shares up 10%-15% continuing to spout outrageous predictions, while offloading and scooping up hundreds of pounds a day. Then use sly innuendo to undermine confidence in the share, ready for the next ramp. Yet they regard it as legitimate.
I first bought in in feb 2021 and added happily through the months till now.
VAL offers quicker ways to get medicines to heal people and now also to ward off terrorist attacks [who could BG be referring too?]
Shame about the blight on all successful AIM shares-----but nobody listens
This was my take On the RNS in oct 2021
They are using the same drill coy, no blame attached for the aborted first drill.
DM`s well deserved break19 Oct 2021 10:52
After living in sub tropical Africa for several weeks DM now has had several weeks back in Blighty.
Investigation by 2D seismic Q4: 2021 will identify likely targets and drilling with lightweight rig in Q1/Q2 2022,..... this is probably a professional description of water well drills, but no matter, any clear gas in shallow traps will further enhance the project, and it could be concentrated and commercial.
With He shows at all levels and multiple surface He at high concentration, all indicating there is a massive thorium/heavy metal source generating Helium below the Rukwa basin.
Clear gas has bubbled up from Tai1 and the new rig to validate it will drill in 2022- but this was not confirmed today.
DM rushed out to Tanzania when the first He show came in Tai1, it could happen again if the `lightweight drill` strikes lucky.----so IMHO being out of H1 completely is risky, because the Q4 survey could uncover a prime trap, and well drills can go anywhere with no ground prep.
I did sell a few today, anticipating a kneejerk reaction to the slightly anti climatic RNS, but this is a super share involved in a much needed -and scarce-resource. and I plan to buy back soon and increase my largest holding overall .
Hello porky, you were kind enough to supply info on another board--here is the overview on H1, garnered from postrers on this bb
Happy days
A new approach to helium recovery should take the guesswork out of finding this vital medical resource
Scientists in the UK are about to pump up the world’s shrinking helium reserves after unearthing a vast helium gas field in Tanzania. The discovery marks the first time scientists have successfully prospected for the vital resource.
Global demand is around 30,000 tonnes of helium per year and is used in a whole host of applications from MRI scanners and welding technologies to leak detection in gas pipelines and, yes, party balloons. But its supply is no laughing matter.
‘Helium is one of these very limited resources that once you’ve used it, you can never recycle it,’ says Chris Ballentine from the University of Oxford, UK. ‘Once you use it, it’s released into the atmosphere. Once in the atmosphere … [it] is light enough that it escapes into space.’
Ballentine explains our helium reserves, at the current consumption rate, may only last until around 2030. This scarcity is partly driven by the US’s only helium reserve in Texas. Accounting for 30% of global supply, the reserve was set to be shut down after a 1996 congress bill was passed to sell off a large part of the supply and pay off the plant’s debts. This led to helium prices falling as competition was forced from the market.
Porks---the license area is about the size of London, Helium was found on the maiden drill at all levels, the search is on to find clear gas, although they found gas bubbles but could not verify it.
It is my opinion that they would be unlucky not to find clear gas, and the He is coming from the thorium/heavy metals deep under the Rukwa basin, the bubbles were from under a 130 meter clay seal some 1500 meters down, but commerciality is yet to be established.
In the Wolf of Wall Street a penny share with an imposing name is shown with the sign affixed to a garden shed.
The boisterous sub-adults who populated this BB today really believed that Suzanne would deal with a one man band.
It was AIM at its very worst, strident voices battering the SP down, with the confidence of ignorant wealth.
Probably a lesson for Susanne-- spell it out, do not assume a level of understanding higher than a comic book.
Only now that sensible posters are involved can I dare to write thus---during working hours it would bring down a holocaust of vitriol.
Happy days!
In the late 70`s I was an assistant to a director of Hoechst pharma for a year and I was let go.
I look back with a wry smile as I did my best but did not measure up.
Now I find myself with two of my biggest shareholding OO and VAL both innovative coys on AIM offering accelerated testing of pharma products.
There is an unspoken conviction that Covid was used as a weapon by a certain expansionist super power, whose insect style of government estimates that even if 50% population of countries were eliminated---- they would have many millions left.
The latest is to blame British lobsters in the Wuhan wet market.
So the task is to find vaccines and antidotes
to counter future possible attacks--- and get them quickly.
Dr Suzanne Diller comes across as a lucid funny and warm person, but the technicalities were over my head, no matter how many tries.
So on trust there are three, maybe more items of news to come in the coming weeks that will transform this Aim tiddler.
Now I am not unlettered. and I did find my niche later, but knowing your limitations sometimes comes with pain.
Robert Browning ... Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?
Porky9, my generous friend who supplied me with a plethora of detailed info on this share----- I was still digesting when I saw the leap this morning, but got in at 54p
My confidence grew with every paragraph.
The best response I have ever got from a fellow investor
I owe you big time!!!
Fascinated by the backstory in this share...it has the villains, the bonus hungry Morris and Vainikka taking a promising medical coy involved in patents into the red from 2012 when it was a rising star, to a loss making coy.
Then the saviour arriving in the lovely sounding `Suze` 2 years ago.
I bought in in feb 2021 a tiny share after rudimentary DD, and increased several times, amazed at the seamless rise [old knowledgeable shareholders returning, I fancy]
Now it equals my other medical share, Open Orphan, which is also set to benefit from the fallout from the COVID non nuclear attack- where will they strike next? The free world stands ready with an open chequebook for research into potential pandemic weapons.
Now for what seems the first time the SP is faltering-- tree shake, perhaps, but it could be the first indication of that blight on AIM- the day traders.
My DD continues, but hopefully an old hand will supply a succinct analysis.
As in no interest at all............. days without a single comment on this board, but it is early days, Cathal Friel is Chairman and there is international interest growing in OO--- soon this board will have 100 plus IMHO...
Why? This was from 14th Oct:
Poolbeg Pharma PLC - London-based clinical stage infectious disease pharmaceutical company - Eyes expanding patents for PredictViral platform, which estimates disease severity and contagiousness in people recently infected with a respiratory virus. Poolbeg says: "Expanding on existing PredictViral IP, these latest patent applications have been submitted in the UK and aims to protect a method of predicting whether an individual exposed to a respiratory virus (such as influenza, RSV, hRV) will have a higher severity of disease and / or be more likely to be contagious. The Company will continue to focus on expanding its IP portfolio as required." Company adds patent applications filed by Open Orphan PLC's hVIVO on Poolbeg's behalf.
Remember hVIVO was founded in 1947 and has a possibly unique backlog of clinical data, invaluable in research.
News from todays Webinar should shed more light.

Look at expansionist China... building artificial islands in the china sea to grow territory, We will know sometime the truth about Wuhan, was it an accident or a non nuclear destruction of economies, worked out well, except the west is resilient, freedom does that.
Governments know the way of the world and are fashioning antidotes for the next attack== malaria recently.
OO and its offshoots will help in this life or death struggle, shareholders getting rich pales into insignificance compared to saving the world from Chinese domination, all our readers would be sent into the fields as workers for a start.
On a cheerful note, big business is noticing, The west is shaking COVID off, ....long live the free world.
POLB is the first spinoff from open orphan, who retain a stake in the coy, meaning all CF`s companies share the benefit from any growth/profits.
Two of CF`s acquisitions were ailing but long established medical research coy`s.
He turned them around and found he had data on testing going back to the 1940`s, this is maybe unique data.
In spinning off n0n core parts of OO he has made POOLBEG very attractive by including this information.
I do not know if the access is limited to 2.5 years free then payments due.
The wider picture is IM humble O is that the fallout from COVID-- we will one day know the truth-- is for governments around the world to see the catastophic effects of a pandemic, like a nuclear attack but without an enemy to repulse.
They are spending vast sums on vaccines for potential pandemic attacks, the latest being malaria.
CF as a major shareholder [and on the board] is considering his options to maximise profits from his perhaps unique assets.

We are all clinging to his coat-tails and I for one am enjoying seeing what he is doing in a rapidly changing scenario.
This demonstrates the benefit of having a CEO with serious investment in his companies---6% plus and counting, being modest in his expenses his Merc is an older model, also shows seriousness of purpose.
This is my No 1 medical share.
Go Cathal Go!
I Too added at 19.99p, I like CF`s strategy of spinning off non care parts, because the research tools created will have early data included [from the 1940`s]---which otherwise would have to be acquired separately. making it very attractive IMO.
CF is personally invested, and is profitable.
Short term glitches make for buying opportunities.
My reading of DM is that he moves as swiftly and economically as possible, with that in mind is it likely that he will in the coming months [in the rainy season too, conditions allowing] survey other areas within the license, establish potential traps AND gas at a shallow depth---- then sit back till summer 2022?
Well drills take a day, if clear gas is found then plans can change to research/develop it.
They found He at all levels, chances are this extends throughout the Rukwa basin
and finding clear gas can be easy or rare or just not there [the risk] ----but DM stated that they found gas below the 130 meter clay seal but could not validate it due to washout.
I am of the opinion that he has his eye on secondary targets within the license area [the size of London] which can be exploited, taking the whole scheme closer to being the premiere supplier of Helium.
The next weeks will show whether he sits on his hands or uses his resources fully.
My bet is on the latter, call in the well mob!!!!!
This is a lively board, as a long term holder under water, I ask how the Billingham project is proceeding?
This is for me the top green share --able to process coal into electricity without harmful emissions.
The UK has 300 years of coal in the ground.
It is the capital cost of the plant that is holding this share back IMHO.
Waste of course can be turned into electricity -yes -but this hardly quickens the blood.
As saving the Planet dominates the news, and serious steps are taken EQTEC will come in from the cold eventually.
For me it is a hold, but I stopped accruing months ago.
They must drill for water all over Africa, in all types of terrain, and the first drill revealed a working system of He shows at all levels.
It is cheap and takes a day,
My belief is that he will investigate all potential traps knowing clear gas could be anywhere.
The next weeks could surprise us.
