It’s also why Fortescue’s founder, Andrew Forrest, warns of the risks to the Pilbara’s future unless Australia learns to produce green iron and even green steel at a competitive scale and cost.

Vale’s executive vice president for commerce and development, Rogerio Nogueira, sees it differently, although he concedes that evolving technology could change the game.

“The challenge the steel makers have is redesigning processes that will reduce it [CO₂] today,” he tells The Australian Financial Review. “The traditional process is coal-based, so they will need to migrate the processes to be natural gas-based.”

Over time, he says, natural gas might be replaced by hydrogen in a very gradual transition. But either process would require really high-grade ore with a very low percentage of contaminants such as silicon or alumina.

The steel supply chain will evolve of course - just doubt it will evolve at the pace Zanaga shareholders would like to observe. That said, somebody at some point is going to make a big bold statement, whether as an acquisition or investment in new technology. But again, all that takes time to play out ,,,,,,

For starters - "Doesn’t look to me like a diamond mine focus at all ..you must be talking to the wino’s and drunks on the street corners of Gaborone"

Well looks like you made fools of yourself - again then.

Just as they don't reply to your utter nonsense. But of course, I am the one that is wrong.

Arrogance and disrespect - it's all you got x 2.

Oh the arrogance of you pair is just mind-boggling. Disrespect sits so comfortably with you.

Do either of you know which entity in Govt holds the existing 15% equity stake in De Beers? No i didn't think so. Or why this is even important here? No i didn't so again.

You are both so utterly clueless that it is no longer entertaining !!

Of course Winni. 100 per cent.

And tell me - what do you know?

Where do you get your wisdom from ? Brad or ......

Get back to the balcony - the only place for Statler and waldorf. You offer nothing; you know nothing; and when in doubt - all you can do is criticise criticsie criticse ...... Total joke - the pair of you !! Match made in heaven

What an utter idiot. $12 billion divided across 2m people - haha haha what utter clap trap.

Al Mansour has made the follwoing commitments in the past 2 weeks - $21 billion to DRC; $20 billion to Mozambique, $20 billion to Zambia; $19 billion to Zimbabwe (Invictus Energy, shale gas); $12 billion Botswana; $12 billion Barundi.

Only an idiot like you would swallow that all this money is going to cascade and flood into Botswana and these other countries. Let me be the first to tell you - IT IS NOT !!

The chat in Botswana is that this Qatar allocation will be mostly directed to helping Govt acquire full or outright control of DeBeers (the 85% they dont own). And that is the main game in town in Botswana these days - Govt figuring out how to get the money to get control of De Beers.

But of course I know nothing because you know everything .......

If SRES has not managed to move on the CS deposit by now, then that means there is something about it that the cement / pozzolan players dont like. That could be size or grade or proximity to market or ....... But sadly I suspect this deposit has not met the bar for others to wish to pursue.

Are you not embarrassed that your idol and guru has managed to change the share price as follows in near 10 years:

April 2016 - 5 cents aussie,

Brief spike in Jan 2018 when Tidd and idiots tried make us believe the entire 100MW would go to Tlou;

April 2019 - 14 cents aussie,

from which it trickled to 4 cents aussie in April 2020,

and from there over the remainder 5 years has traded around 2 cents aussie

And you talk about people making you rich. How absolutely stupid can any single person be !! You manage to set a Guinness World record !!

I rest my case. T A W T backwards. Mindless irrelevance, as always

see mm, there is where you just lose your audience. to suggest the pilbara is 'dross' is simply sensationalism carp on your part. they been mining there longer than you been alive and whilst grade may be on the dip down, there is still so much invested there by the big boys that they will continue to make it work for years to come.

and to rubbish pilbara means probably you want to make africa deposits sound like the promised land. and anybody that knows tihs (in reverse) knows that africa aint no pilbara. and it never will; it is simply just too disparate a bunch of ****ries and govts and borders and distance to coast - and all the infrastructure problems that come with that.

i just don't get why you spend your time talking all this tosh ..... you been doing this for a long time now !

statler and waldorf start chirping again from the balcony. you dumb donkey's have posted nothing relevant about tlou and its progress for 2 or 3 years now; reason for that being there isn't any meaningful progress for them to report. they can start manys a project, but they cannot finish one. not one yet - after 15 years of trying they still have not managed to deliver commercial sustained gas flows.

yet you 2 loonie tubes keep defending and defending and defending - the only reason you defend is because i attack. forget about me; smell the coffee; open your eyes and senses - tlou has achieved nothing regarding establishing a local industry using an indigenous energy source. hopeless, just hopeless - and their ceo headed to the hills or beach or wherever ... and still you defend him. and his team - who also exited.

now we read about the most important person being a company secretary - unbelievable and utter gibberish. all day; every day.

and still winni defends - or at least doesnt criticise. which only fuels the resident dumb-donkey to keep posting yet more dull dumb-donkey stuff.

you guys never ever appreciated the humour in why i chose the donkey moniker ...... well for years, i have read the ****e posted here - by the donkeys.

clueless just utterly clueless.

ps what has tlou acheived in 15 years ? other than spending money - nada. nothing. zip.

Moagi has been released on bail - he was a crook and given he isn't liked by the establishment, is very possible he will become a very high profile example of what happens to corrupt officials by the new Govt regime.

It remains to be seen how much, if anything, was sent his way Tlou or its agents.

There is a reason TG exited quickly - hold that thought until the reason is made public.

I agree with you jimmygold - it has taken a lot longer than anticipated for cement companies to seek replacement of flyash in their supply chain processes. That cannot be blamed on PC; however he could have treated his shareholders with more respect by explaining what was happening in the scm market-place more openly.

The difference you are not referening is that Rio and partners have the balance sheet to make Simandou happen. Zanaga doesn't have the balance sheet itself to drive this project in same way Rio can. Zanaga is being backed by a bunch of mining experts etc, who know their way around the technical and financial problems when delivering the mine - but they are going to be massively reliant on other peoples money to succeed.

That is a pretty big difference in my book. Can't speak for your AI friend though.

Exploration sure seems to be a real slow burn in Botswana these days. I hope this means good news is developing.

Sorry chaps, but the CS project has surely been looked over by multiple parties in the pozzolan space by now. And nobody seems at all interested in developing, let alone acquiring it. There was supposed to be a bulk sample tested by someone - I am not sure if that ever happened. And if it did, what was the outcome.....

Another good project idea - but more than likely another project dud !!!

Wow after 3-5 years of listening to Brad wax lyrical, you finally suggest to him he exercises some caution.

Call yourself a friend - WTF were you back when all this nonsense started. Pathetic !

Love it. And he believes every single word as if it were gospel. Dont make them like that any more - even if he talks tosh most of the time.
