So MM, just wondering how you would recap your year spent trying to foster, drive and promote ZIOC ? Hopefully a little remuneration somehow somewhere for all your efforts.

Unbelievable. Gibberish that is.

Where did the comment that the generators are stuck at Customs come from Brad ? You seem to know everything else about everything else.....

Brad - you keep mentioning the generators are stuck at Customs. How do you know this ?

Have you ever known anything done by Tlou within their timelines ? Surely after 10 years of negligible progress you cannot be surprised that yet again, a part of the latest project plan is subject to delays. When will you ever learn.

Oh, I see Brad was posting last few days - sorry mate was busy tidying up my box room in Doncaster. Will read your waffle and wee if there is anything worth replying to. Usually making sense of your ramblings is tough enough - and there just isnt enough hours in a day to try set you straight, given that you already know next to nothing about Tlou / CBM / Botswana.

If you are still too dumb to see or appreciate the problems that continue to afflict Tlou's progress, then really you have no business in the investment world or posting messages on an investment bulletin board discussing the merits of investing in stocks and shares.

September 2021 post: news is going to change soon , for the good 👍👍👍

You really are a special human Brad. And I especially love it when you decide to tell folks here what I mean or think - you are for sure a mensa candidate. Roll eyes emoji.

This message showed on my screen when accessing this time - posted April 2021:

Positive news on Twitter re: future projects and Botswana Govt support. Expecting RNS to confirm soon. Should start to reflect in positive SP movt.

At 1.6 cents aussie, ie 0.8 of a UK penny. And you morons have the nerve, stubbornness and absolute stupidity to tell me Tlou is about to recover significantly in terms of share price. Wake up dummies !!

Oh well, you seem to read mu posts Winni - even in Sri Lanka. Be good if you came up with some new material to moan about on me - the sad life, superior intellect, all knowing, etc routine is repetitive.

PS - I guess it is just tough for you to accept that for years - I told you so !! Ho hum.

PPS - would you like a few suggestions on where to visit in SL .....

Power source for Serowe - clearly you have no idea about how injecting power into the power grid works.

In fact, this level of cluelessness aligns perfectly.

Much better and more informed conversation on HC than compared to reading your daily diary here !

And to see you falling into the same SynMet trap as before thinking that a foreign 3rd party could rule over a Botswana parastatal is child like in your adult naivety. Please stop posting such obvious misleading fantasy claims. And stay away from HC - where your only contribution is to make a fool of yourself.

Remember nothing happens in Botswana after second week December - they drift back second week January and think about starting work third week January ......

Any word of the generators ?

More half assed governance and management process by the muppets ! They no longer care about UK shareholders given that they have sucked that market for all they could get. That is the real legacy from Saint Tony despite what other nonsense has been posted here for years and years. He should be investigated for securities fraud - and maybe the Doc will get around to that at some point.

You were ALL WARNED. You DIDN'T LiSTEN. You know who to blame !!

Yup, every new management team needs to spend budget on a refresh of the old brand. Sometimes it works; sometimes it does not - either way it always costs money and buys the new guys a chunk of time. After which, their new patter either starts to show measurable signs of working or it doesn't. And then then that particular spiral to non-existence ends after about 2.5 years - and guess what - in pops a bunch of new guys with a wonderful new story to get everyone all fired up about.

Lets hope XT and MM don't fall into the trap of leading us into this particularly obvious void or trap......

Lads - iron ore right now is all about the ridiculous amounts of money Rio and Chinese and and and are spending to bring Simandou onstream. If the Rio balance sheet was not there - Simandou would not be happening. Now if and when ZIOC gets a balance sheet behind it, rather than a bunch of industry heavy weights who, lets face it are getting on in years and very unlikely to bet their children's inheritance or trust funds on actual delivery of a pretty problematic project a long way away from the necessary infrastructure to export the goodies (yes, I know they are going to build a pellet plant to shrinks the goodies - which they will still export becoz the local market for steel making is damned near non-existent) .... and on and on and on and on the circular argument goes as to why and why not, Zanaga is the 'investment opportunity of a lifetime' ......

GL2A - it is so much fun. Most of the time.

All 3 hours of it. That should keep you busy Brad - and who knows, you might even learn something about Botswana. It's never too late ....

Brad od boy - if anyone needs to start grasping nettles - it is you !!

Genuinely hope you are on the mend Brad. Your current bad fortune however seems to mirror image your darling investment fortunes. Let's get to facts please.

Shareholder wealth created by Tlou - near non-existent after 10 years. Just probably well-intentioned efforts, none of which have landed yet. Effort may be commended but it is not how investment success is measured. TG made numerous claims back in the day - he has failed to deliver on every metric which record investment success and shareholder wealth generation. That you continue to block this level of non-existent achievement in your posts says more about you and how you form your opinions - my opinion has been pretty consistent from the get go back in 2017. I dare you or anyone to claim otherwise !

You make me laugh when you blow up Kala as being the Tlou saviour. Just like you did when SynMet came on the scene. I wonder if you actually realise the reason you big them up is so you don't have to face the reality that you are getting things consistently wrong with Tlou. As in, they provide you the excuse to kick the can further down the road allowing you to hope and pray the white rabbit somehow magically appears. I don't fancy the chances of this - but hey, you never know.

Old friend of mine in mining circles always had a reply to those who said - Look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. His reply - while you are counting pennies, who is earning pounds. Another of his sayings was - All good things come to those who wait. Unless you die and then it doesn't matter.

When Masisi assumed power in 2019 he talked about a new beginning for Botswana. Nothing much happened and if anything, he was unable to control his party and things got worse. So much so, BDP were finally evicted. Just as TG and NM were recently - their exit had nothing to do with health. The US$10m or so investment by BPOPF in Tlou was immense value destruction for them - someone had to pay.

Now Boko and UDC are in power and promising new beginnings - one year later, the country has nearly bled its financial reserves dry. They have great plans and ideas - but no money of their own to make these happen. They are now dependent on foreign money through investment (Qatar, Oman, Turkey, India, China perhaps) to flow into the country. You can buy citizenship for US$75k - not a bad deal actually - but just a sign how desperate they are to encourage funds inflow.

I would recommend anyone wanting to follow commentary on economic progress in Botswana to read the quarterly reports on www.econsult.co.bw Well written and easy to follow - their Q3 report is very sobering !

Do you think an environmental protection bond is going to be used to invest in the development of a mine? For sure, I do not.

So now you are being accepting of the fact that the land of milk and honey, as pitched by TG and management team, was in fact BS. And now you are starting to realise just how difficult an environment achieving business success there really is.

Erm, didn't somebody spend years trying to get you to acknowledge this reality! And how many posts from y'all over the years did you waste time and effort trying to refute.

Go on - someone surprise me. Who is prepared to admit I was right to downplay all the hype and disingenuous claims and waffle they pushed out to unsuspecting shareholders since 2017. Tidd - i hope you have choked on the bile you spun people. Hope you are reading as well MM - at least your ZIOC efforts are much more worthy than the poop here. Mind you, your endless efforts to convince people that Zanaga is the next greatest thing is fast becoming pretty shallow.

The delay must be because TG is no longer driving the company. After all, this would never have been allowed on his watch. Mon derriere !
