The title of this thread is How many times .... do you have to be told Brad.

Not - How many times do you need to keep repeating your view of history. If your view of events unfolding around the RFP had been correct, there would be no need to try point out your mistaken views thereof.

Merry Xmas - maybe you will listen to that greeting given you are incapable of listening to much else.

Usual noise and irrelevance from Safe. Eeeeeee Aaaaaawwwwwww

T you realise this is important to Brad !

You are entitled to your opinion as to what you think happened during this time. it's just a shame that you feel you need to shove your version down our throats endlessly as being the correct version of events. It isn't; it wasn't; and it never will be - regardless if you post the same old trips another thousand times after today.

Preferred Bidders x 2. It was plastered all over internet at the time. How could you have missed it.......

RNS 20th September 2017

How can you be taken seriously when you contradict what is released by the company. Stop making up stories please - you keep making a fool of yourself every time you speak !

Do you have to be told Brad. The original 100MW RFP (issued Dec 2016/ January 2017) was an invitation to tender sent only to Tlou and Sekaname. (Strata-X had leases but had drilled nothing at that point in time.)

Regardless of the messing about re the cancellation of original tender and the need to resubmit (to a largely unchanged Tender document), BOTH Tlou and Sekaname were named as Preferred Bidders for what they had submitted - 2MW scaling to 10MW for Tlou and 97MW for Sekaname.

That is FACT. Google all you want - but that is what was awarded.

What happens after that for Sekaname - we have basically no idea other than, sometime last year Sekaname signed for a 6MW PPA with BPC. That signing ceremony was covered on Facebook pages (something you said you had no idea how to access).

Where they are now after the public auctions at their camp site when their equipment was sold off to cover debts - is anybody's guess.

At least Tlou has managed to stay the course over the intervening years - but at a horrendous cost for sure. A cost that likely means early stage investors are going to end up diluted to basically near nothing. But they are still there and fighting their corner against a system that seems hell-bent on preventing them ever producing power for a country and region that desperately needs it.

If somebody could answer why that is - well i for one would be grateful. It makes No Sense to me.

OMG he is blaming Sekaname as the reason for Tlou's failure to navigate the politics of Botswana.

Wise up Brad. Stop making yourself read as an utter idiot.

Oh Brad, you really do believe the nonsense you type. Incredible

Yeah well when Zambia exports i am pretty sure that means Botswana imports.

Keep going Winni, the more you talk the more you become like Brad - as in it is obvious how little you actually know on these matters. But as long as you are happy.

Respectfully if the deal / deposit was that good, then I suspect a major player in the industry would move much quicker than we are seeing at present. And if Tolsa have sole first rights to accept /refuse, and they are dragging their heels, then PC somehow needs to introduce competitive tension onto the playing field.

And that isnt going to happen 2 weeks before Xmas. But I guess everybody (including me) needs to say their tuppence worth and get it out of the system. And then enjoy Xmas. maybe by this time next year a deal will be done on both CS and Pioche. And then again, maybe we will still be floundering in limbo land at the mercy of the paymasters.

Oh you really are the Big Man eh Safe. You tell 'em mate......

Clown !

Kind of hard to move the share price when there is 5.2 billion shares in issue.

Ridiculous ! So the great Winni would have us believe that the good folks at London Stock Exchange devised a plan to establish a market for cads and snake oil salesmen. With their blessing. What a load of old utter tripe. Yet again, another cheif Tlou cheerleader shows his intelligence by talking effect rather than understanding cause. Little wonder so many idiots are followers with this stock.

Winni - AIM was established for the primary reason to allow younger, less mature companies that did not have the track record, size and scale to satisfy the Main Board listing requirements access capital markets. And it came with a LOUD AND CLEAR health warning - Buyer Beware !!

The fudge has been that cry babies like you and other shareholders who have lost fortunes of their own cash now want to blame AIM or regulators or somebody (anybody BUT YOURSELF) for the wonderfully articulated plans in various listing Prospectus not coming to fruition.

Saint Tony knew exactly what he was doing when he tapped AIM for second listing funds. He did it at a time when London was receptive to African mining opportunities - that environment has changed because the plethora of 'Tlou lookalikes' took the money, drilling a bunch of holes, put out colourful geological charts suggesting they were onto the 'next Big Thing', and after a while when their binary drilling outcomes amounted to not much, the music stopped, money ran out, and the good folks that put in their money realised they rolled the dice and came up short.

The only difference with Tlou shareholder idiots is they still think they are in with a chance to 'strike the lottery'.

Sorry lads - this is death by 10 thousand cuts. If there is success ahead, there is share consolidation ahead, more fund raising, and since the new owners will not want to be bothered by small shareholdings, you will be offered a pittance

well here i come winni .....

zambia is experiencing massive shortfalls in the domestic economy yet govt still manages to sell electricity to botswana - ie foreign currency for zambia govt (with likely a slice or two to someone on the way through). there was also namibia exporting to botswana - masisi was big buddies with former president of namibia (reasonably recently deceased, so not sure if that arrangement will carry to new bots govt).

udc govt is shaping up to restore much of the previous relationship with sa govt, so that suggests they appreciate the previous arrangements there (evolved under khama regime) can be lucrative to themselves. sadly. but then sa is by far the bigger market place, so ending the stand off with s africans does make sense. (but at what cost /slice(s) on the way through.)

as for botswana being in a position to export power to sa etc - well i will believe that when i see it. i think you are forgetting that botswana has consistently imported more than 50% of its power requirements - due to the **** up that was morupule b (under khama and the millions siphoned off). there is nowhere near enough solar power generation coming through to solve the morupule shortfall and reliability issues so my view is don't hold your breath that botswana will be exporting any meaningful quantity for 3+ years. just my view (hope i am allowed to have one).

and the issue you all like to conveniently forget - whoever is injecting meaningful quantums of power into the bots grid and then wants to onward sell that to 3rd parties under ppas still has to negotiate the cost of using bpc grid. that tax /levy / usage charge is where the feeding frenzy will really start - and lads, that part is still all ahead of us.

but i am happy that free and management team want to try excite us again about the size and scale of the power opportunity there. the same opportunity that has existed for the past 20 years and proven rather elusive......

my view is free and the management team should really focus and pray they get those horizontal wells working and those coal fines under control. it is going to be an awful slap on their face when they have to admit that horizontal wells are, and always were, the way to extract the gas. (again i am reminded on saint tony assertion that botswana coals, which are not terribly deep so therefore have never been under the same pressure and the major coalfields in usa, russia, china, australia etc, somehow or other managed through some form of geological miracle to become the best coals saint tony ever worked with......)

Absolutely Free - please tell us where you and Tidd and rest of the gang are going to be lurking on the other side. If you guys cannot start engineering some decent news reasonably early in 2025 then sorry chum, but it would start to seem like 'the final countdown'.

BTS - this might surprise you but I would keep your shares. As in transfer them to ASX and hold. The share price is at pathetic levels, and whilst I cannot see it ever achieving 10x or more, you might manage in next 1-2 years to get 3-5 times the current share price.

That is about as positive as i can ever get about this total bag of bones.

Of course it is correct to dump AIM Brad, of course !! That is Saint Tony decision and he never gets anything wrong. Heavens you talk the biggest load of dump ever posted in print or anywhere.

Fresh from the Main Board at LSE:

"One of the UK’s leading blue-chip companies is preparing to shift its listing from London to New York, dealing yet another blow to Britain’s beleaguered stock market.

Ashtead, the FTSE 100 giant, which rents out equipment to construction firms, said it had concluded the US market was its “natural, long-term listing venue”.

With a value of £27bn, Ashtead’s planned departure marks one of the biggest to hit the Square Mile in the past year, coming days after Tlou Energy said it would drop its secondary London listing".

It's not as if the Admin staff of Tlou management team are particularly busy now - is it.

Get a friggin grip you guys !!!

So are you saying the company is not providing guidance to its shareholders on what steps to take in order to ensure their shareholdings held and custodised on AIM are as seamlessly as can be are transferred to an alternate account on ASX.

Well if they are leaving everyone to fend for themselves with no effort to provide alternate arrangements, what does that tell you about the quality of this management team. And how highly they regard their shareholders.

Well played Colm and Salomon - high quality service to the shareholders your Chairman pays homage to in his Annual address.

PATHETIC, really and truly PATHETIC effort !!!
