Amusing shenanigans at DGR.

Canillasboy, it could be the terms of his short-term unsecured loan were better than those offered by commercial lenders. The real test will be in a years time when his loan is due for repayment.

Daltrey, agreed.

There's an interesting article in the ST today about Cornwall and how impoverished it is. It talks about how mining is being revived - lithium and tin...no mention of tungsten. The point is it's very difficult to see how the council will block future planning applications. The county is desperate and SML can do its bit.

Trader, no, it was from the Zeus report.

Permission granted for three years, but the drilling programme is currently scheduled to complete in Q2 next year. They're not hanging about. Great news.

Confirmation of permission.

Prop, you're not wrong there. Mind you, many of the western miners are also responsible.

It's astonishing that it's taken so long for the West to wake up to this issue. It's not as if it's suddenly emerged from nowhere.

Precious, our local council simply ignored the environmental issues. In fact, they ignored virtually everything. It makes you wonder why?

I live in a rural village in southern England. Nearby is an ancient quarry, which is an SSSI and, as a result of its biodiversity, is regarded as being of national and international importance. The local council has just granted planning permission for a new science park, which will consist of six huge buildings. They will be completely out of place in this setting and are of dubious economic necessity. (the area is almost at full employment) They will ruin the environment forever.

The council completely ignored the environmental concerns and the thousands of objections, and granted permission regardless.

The dual standards which exist in this country are utterly absurd and we can only hope Cornwall sees sense for a project of real international significance.

Btw, our garden is a haven of biodiversity and I'd be happy to donate some of the deer which destroy the plants. I'm sure a couple of breeding muntjacs will account for at least a 10 per cent increase and will certainly do the job. Of course, they'll ruin everyone's gardens, but hey, ho. At least the council will be happy.

Cev, I eventually managed to get my order through, but I had to break it down, which I've never had to do in the past. The curious thing is that the reported volume is not that high, so it's odd it's been in auction for a large part of this morning.

HL have been unable to give me a quote for the past half hour, which is unusual.

Redcardave, I suspect that's news to most people. How are they in a position to confirm something which, apparently has not yet been given?

A very odd comment from SPA.

Daltry, they would be Related Party transactions, which also need to be declared.

The fact is, for whatever reason - not having enough spare cash being the most likely - he has not bought any shares.

Slurm, he couldn't without announcing it via an RNS. And in any event, why would he want to conceal it?

I had a quick look at the size of the hydrogen market in the UK.

Currently, it stands at £1.5bn, but is projected to rise to £13.3bn by 2033.

Sometimes it's easy to get stuck in the weeds of an investment and I find it useful just remind myself of the prospects.

Brad, I was referring to SML, not solg.

28p is close to a valuation of £800m. I wouldn't describe that as 'going nowhere'.

I agree with the observation concerning the lack of share purchases by Burnett, although I'll cut him some slack due to the fact he's a young man who probably hasn't had a chance to accumulate much in the way of savings yet. However, I do have one issue with him.

I would like to know how he divides his time between his various work commitments. I am concerned that we don't have a full-time CEO.

Perhaps the argument is the Board do not anticipate the company remaining independent much beyond next year, and in the meantime there simply isn't enough day-to-day work to need a full-time CEO. However, I'm not sure what message this sends to the market. How does the Board present itself to potential investors without a FTCEO? How does it persuade them one isn't needed?

I called for an NED with a mining background, and got called a clown for saying so - and I think transparency is needed in regard to Burnett's daily activities.

I suspect one or two of us on here were investors in solg and we saw what happened with Scott Caldwell, who was meant to be full time and based in Quito - for which he was paid $10k per month - but apparently was living in Florida. He lost his job.
