Re the CMRG discussions...."A Fortescue spokesperson said the company was unable to comment on confidential discussions, but was continuing to engage with CMRG."
What we do know is...
1)Fortescue have plenty of ore in Aussie, but it is mostly the low grade stuff which is no good for the new Green Steel requirements.
"2) Fortescue originally lost out in the auction for Simandou a few years ago, their bid of $9 BILLION DOLLARS no where near enough.
That sum is petty cash for them, and no doubt most on here would be delighted with half that amount for Zanaga.
As usual...alwayshoping.

Maybe Vale will not be part of any potential consortium looking at Zanaga??
"Competitors may now be looking at M&A opportunities in mining and metals but Vale doesn't need that due to its "huge " existing base metals mine assets in both Brazil and Canada, as well as its "unique" high-quality iron ore assets in Brazil, the Vale CEO said in a session at the event."

Agreement signed during conference in Rio de Janeiro to highlight investment opportunities in aviation sector
‘The two countries have a long history of cooperation and partnerships in various fields’: GACA president
SAO PAULO: The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation and Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the field of civil aviation during a conference in Rio de Janeiro.
The conference highlighted investment opportunities in the aviation sector. The two countries intend to reinforce cooperation to exchange knowledge, aiming to improve the passenger experience in air transport, among other goals.
The Saudi Press Agency reported that the partnership fulfills the objectives of the National Aviation Strategy, which seeks to make the Kingdom a global aviation hub.
With this partnership, Brazil can provide expertise in infrastructure projects and other areas of the Saudi aviation sector.
“By participating in the event, the Kingdom seeks to prove its global leadership in the field of aviation and its readiness to expand and strengthen cooperation with Brazil,” the SPA said.
The MoU includes information exchanges such as reports, service quality indicators and passenger satisfaction surveys related to practices adopted in Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
The agreement also includes the exchange of information, standardized procedures for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility, and training courses and workshops focusing on improving the passenger experience. The MoU will be implemented according to the laws and regulations of both countries.
GACA President Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Duailej, who attended the conference’s opening ceremony, said the Kingdom values relationships built on trust and hard work.
“Despite the long distance between Saudi Arabia and Brazil, the two countries have a long history of cooperation and partnerships in various fields,” he added.
Saudi Arabia is heavily investing in its aviation sector to boost tourism by 2030, targeting 330 million passengers by the end of the decade.
As usual...alwayshoping.
Just wondering why they released that news after hours on a Monday, instead of the usual 7AM tomorrow morning.
Surely there cannot be even more news of some sort at 7am tomorrow morning ??
As usual..alwayshoping.

"You only accept 65% reduction because you know what will be real value. game is closing very soon"
Totally correct...
"With the timing of B2B revenues to commence in Q1 and achieving the position of being able to fund
core operations through Tally’s investment assets as and when required, the Company should be able
to achieve a successful IPO in or around March 2024. Shareholders should note however, the path to
a successful listing and the ultimate timeline will be influenced by external factors outside of the
Board’s control, including the views of our corporate service providers to be appointed, and the
regulator"
Jiving and Extrader...(Ex, just seen saw very latest post while compiling mine below)
From the interims and re ". As of today, discussions with management continue and a resolution is expected to be reached imminently through the issue of shares in consideration of part of this deferred consideration." and then your thoughts/questions on the resulting dilution.
When issuing these additional/new shares to the likes of AT and other board members in lieu of unpaid wages/fees/thank you,s etc, I believe it is fair to say, and expect, that the BOD will have a pretty good idea of what the true value of each share will be worth at the time of any buy out or JV. An offer of just ONE BILLION US DOLLARS equates to roughly £1.30. Therefore, awarding each individual just one million shares would equate to a £1.3million pay day, which would be well in excess of what they would have been paid under normal circumstances. You can do your own maths to calculate the value of each share per each additional $1 billion. How many, only time will tell, and no doubt most of us have our own realistic figure in mind. Even If a mere 6 million shares are going to be issued, that still only equates roughly to a 1% dilution. Still pretty sure we will know the figure within the next couple of days or so.
