That thought had crossed my mind Thornback; a message to the Botswanan people possibly. Because if they are trying to raise the profile to the investment community, there are better methods in my opinion - I've seen company webinars used fairly successfully recently.

I'm not exactly sure what they are trying to achieve with this increased Twitter activity - nor who their target audience are. Nevertheless for those that don't indulge

And the direct link to the article they are referring to

MM - Moagi isn't interested in truthful answers to serious questions. He's only here to gaslight Brad as the abusive partner in their dysfunctional relationship. In turn Brad's Stockholm syndrome doesn't allow him to walk away. Other than that he just spends his free time berating everyone else for not being as clever as he is - unless he's agreeing with his other accounts of course.

Pedantic it maybe but 'good standing order'? People, businesses, organisations are in good standing, and documentation in good order. A good standing order sounds like something you set up at your bank. Still I guess it get the message across

As long as we all make some bread TLK!

Which is effectively naivety is it not? Even ignorance if you want to put it more bluntly. However, as you say they have better understanding now, and appear to have shifted tack about a year ago to a more modular/staged approach, which in my opinion is facilitating the better progress. I also firmly believe it's the best way to preserve existing shareholder value. Added to this, and starting around the same time, has been a distinct shift to promoting the 'green' aspects of the project - an important change which is likely to receive more favourable and diverse interest - both political and financial.

The first phase funding needs to be timely but not rushed - getting the right deal is imperative, not only for the success of the project but it's in the interests of shareholders. We have enough to get started from the recent raise, and that has probably enabled us to get out of a logjam situation where maybe funders wanted to see progress on the PPA and the BG wanted to see progress on the funding and project before issuing the PPA - that is just a guess of course.

Anyway I maintain there are far more positives here than negatives, if that should change, so will my outlook and position. It's every investor's individual responsibility to sort the wheat from the chaff on these boards - recently the chaff has been prolific. Let's hope the company gives us something significant and positive to chat about in the near future so we can have something decent to take to the mill.

Asuming these timelines are to an extent within their control, and they could have done more to speed things up - and haven't - is it incompentence, laziness, deception, what? I'm intrigued to know why they wouldn't do, or haven't done, their utmost to expedite the project

Winni - if you think the project has no, or has lost credibility - may I ask why on earth are you invested? Also you mention false promises-I'm not sure they've promised anything. They state hoped for outcomes and desired timelines - nearly all of which are not under their control. Maybe they should just not do that - I don't know. I think if the board are guilty of anything it's naivety. I think they have underestimated the thickness of the corporate and beauracratic jungle they would have to navigate - nevertheless significant progress has been made - however slowly it is perceived to be. And while I understand the frustrations of some whose expectations have not been met - I firmly believe that we have the best people in place to get this over the line. If it was so straightforward, then why hasn't someone else done it already?

Happens everytime there's a quarterly update Hardy - even though it's a compulsory announcement and nothing new will or can be announced. It's so predictable it's easy beer token money for a quick trade.

Brad I recognise you are a genuine investor. But I have to say I find your feud with them very tedious. Also many of your off topic posts I simply don't read because they don't interest me - nevertheless it's a free world. However, where MrMoagi is concerned, I think most experienced intelligent readers of this board have his number and recognise he has an agenda; and yes I agree this board is worse off for his presence. He is also an agitator - a troll in the vernacular - likes to wind you up, and appears to be quite successful in that aspect at least. For you own sanity just don't enguage would be my advice. ATB

¿Qué?

Another predictable boring wall of text - you really do try too hard. Earlier your smart arse post tried to define disingenuous. Here's an easier definition - anything posted by you

I wonder if it was mandatory to have a verified account here. To the point you were definitively identifiable; who would continue to post. Brad certainly - Mr Moagi not so much. As I have always said about these boards - it's not what people say - it's why they are saying it.

That really is a lot of doublespeak to actually not answer MFM's question

I think they have stated 25MW. More than enough for the time being and to prove the hybrid generating concept. I'm almost certain when more capacity is needed, it won't be Tlou calling the shots anymore.

Don't really want to drag the board into the details of eBay listings Brad but if you are happy with their offer, terminate the new listing and use the process in the link

Second chance offer https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/listings/selling-auctions/making-second-chance-offers?id=4142

I haven't sold stuff on eBay for a while Brad but that sort of thing wasn't unusual. I used to just offer the item to the underbidder.

I really have no idea what goes on with this site. I just posted the link to the video but it didn't show up. Was about to post it again but then it appears - then disappears - and appears again and so on. Hopefully others can see it as I currently can't; eitherway I'll include the link again for good measure.

Here's the link to the interview with Colm.

They have certainly stepped up their Twitter activity over the last few weeks. Whether this has a specific purpose in mind or they have just employed a very enthusiastic trainee to cover social media is hard to say. Seems a little more than just trying to attract a few more private investors though.

It been some time since I researched this but as I understood it, and please correct me if I'm wrong, Saber had done exploratory drilling on the licenses and had JV'd with Tlou to do the more specialised production drilling in 2009. Saber consequently merged with Talon Metals who transferred the licenses to us in 2010 in exchange for a slice of Tlou. I wasn't aware of them flaring gas before this time.
