Member Info for BOTS_PROJECTS

So basically you are saying you know jack S about Sekaname - yet your posts here endeavour to make out that you actually have reasonably direct or first hand knowledge about them. When - clearly you do not.

I am not here to share personal details. i am here to discuss Tlou - good and bad. That most of what i have to say is bad - is down to Tlou and the way they have conducted themselves. Rest assured if they had reported sensibly, under-promised and over-delivered and stayed humble, i probably would be one of their major supporters given that i know just how difficult it is to get business going in Botswana. They have only themselves to blame for being balchy arrogant loud aussie types (thinking they could move in and take over).

How do you know what Sekaname wanted Brad? They are devilishly secretive with a dearth of public info, yet you seem to know so much.....

Good effort Free. Keep them distracted from the real issue causing the need to delist from AIM.

You are interested in ticks and likes to your posts and trying to sound knowledgeable etc after regurgitating a variety of meaningless google searches. Where, half the time you dont have a baldy clue what you are blethering about. And endlessly repeating how successful TG was; how many alias folks have; how many shares you Buy in your monthly frequent trader top ups. Every single one of your posts are meaningless towards what happens and impacts Tlou as it tries to make progress in Botswana.

But since i have started (yet again) criticising you and your posts, i suspect you have not even read this far to here.

Tlou is currently in a really bad place. You cant admit that to yourself, but that doesnt mean it isnt so. They have not been able to make their horizontal wells work as hoped for. Horizontal wells are expensive to drill, and economies of scale only happen if the wells flow gas in sustained quantities - and the fact is Tlou are not in that place at this point in time. And that has impacted their ability to raise necessary finance. Again this is Fact.

You dont want to talk about what is the single most important problem facing Tlou right now - why is that? My view is because it means you would have to admit to yourself you have posted absolute carp here for years and years and years. But there is no chance of that - so your easier out is to seek solace by rubbishing others and buddying up to anyone who engages with you on a friendly basis.

Well you know I aisnt about to do that - at least not until you start being honest with yourself.

Mind you - saying "if TG lives up to my expectations" is a start along that journey.......

Sorry to tell you - he wont in this case because he cant make Botswana coals behave as the 'best coals he had ever seen'. You have no idea just how big a t1t he made of himself when making this assertion back in 2017 !!

But I knew. And i have been suggesting it ever since. And will continue to do until I am proven wrong - or until his team figure out the secrets of gas release from very brittle coal seams.

Say something new Win. i. We have heard your view of me repeatedly for endless number of years. On and on you blether; same old same old rubbishing me. The purpose of this board is to talk about Tlou.... I guess you cant do that coz you realise you actually dont know much. Happy for you and Brad to have found each other. Your acceptance of the failure of Tlou management team to deliver after so many years tell us all that you (and Brad) would rather focus your energy elsewhere than accept your mistake. Come on - admit it. Tlou is a disaster investment. Go on - try saying it .....

Brad - if this is all part of St Tony plan, then sorry mate - it is a really carp plan !! I guess you cannot admit this either.

Get real fellas. Get real.

The trickiest part is ensuring the wells deliver gas in a measured and sustained flow - and as the recent quarterly says, that part is not (and has not) been working well.

Drilling wells - easy;

Constructing gas gathering and cleaning the gas - easy (unless the gas is high CO2 or impurities, in which case the cost ratchets up)

Buying and connecting generators - easy;

Generating power and injecting to a line - easy;

Getting paid by BPC - supposedly easy (but expect late payment putting strain on internal cash flow);

Drawing monthly salaries whilst not very progress made over 5 years - easy only when there is sufficient cash available;

Continuing to issue shares to finance a super small proof of concept - increasingly not easy (ask yourselves \Why);

Continuing to post meaningless twaddle on a message board where idiots only contribution is to heckle - easy;

Pointing out Tlou was not the be all and end all stock of our dreams as others claimed it was gonna be - easy;

Winding up a couple of dudes that have as much free time on their hands as i do on mine - incredibly easy;

Laughing out loud when grown men take issue with specific words when it is the generality of the opinion or argument that really is where the focus should be - frequent laughter and ridiculously easy;

You get the drift surely by now ........

Then again, you haven't after 5 or more years - so why should i expect you to start getting it now. So easy!

Or else a deal has not been done - coz if it had, i have every confidence he would inform us and the market ....

You talk when you have something to say - not because there is a bunch of impatient shareholders expecting to hear something

Thanks for that Brad. A pleasant change from IG brokers and ISA and minimum trades per month. And all the other wonderfully illuminating pearls you share.

As for me and Botswana - pointless saying I have or have not. Only gives Winni or you or ..... more irrelevant rubbish to post and waste time here.

Have you? Have you Winni? Remember I live in a room in Doncaster. Or was it Bradford. Point being, after all the wasted space here taken up reading your drivel and insults - you and Winni continue to be incapable of posting much that is interesting or relevant on Tlou.

The world is waiting for you to contribute something other than childish heckling here Winni. Are you able to ?

And i love how we all get to see how little Tlou posters here are able to talk and articulate about any matters potentially impacting Tlou and its progress in Botswana. Your narrow minded and pettiness is hugely revealing - shame you dont see this yourselves.

Have another drink Winni and stop being a t1t.

New Govt party, UDC all 31 seats of the 31 they contested. Ruling party BDP won 4 of the 31 they contested - huge reversal. BCP won 13 and BPF (Khama party) won 5.

There will now be a period of huge uncertainty in Botswana - 3 months or more - as none of these jokers has the first clue how to manage a business let alone a country.

Amuses me no end that most here are clueless on economy and business conditions in Botswana; yet y'all think you speak with great authority on gas and power purchase agreements and the grid and the opportunity existing in Botswana.

GG is a fully paid up member of BDP; they are out. I doubt he had much influence anyways, but it is going to be interesting to see if the new crowd show any interest in CBM and power generation. If they do, then that means there are more hungry mouths appearing at the table, so when the announcement comes when UDC say they are super excited about local power generation blah blah, rest assured it simply means Tony will be reaching into pockets.

But I think you can forget about Tlou until March / April next year - the square root of sfa is going to happen businesswise here for 6 months.

According to Brad - Tlou are gradually getting flushed down the toilet and all he wants to talk about and tell is his experience of buying Tlou shares via brokers.

Meanwhile in the real Botswana world, seismic shifts are playing out - BDP party that has been in power since 1966 has won Zero seats from the first 18 declared winner seats. That is quite unbelievable turn of events there. Not that any or many here will care. or even appreciate the relevance. Far better to talk about IG brokers and St Tony has a plan and its all coming together ......

Ridiculous, really and truly - farcically ridiculous !

Reasonably fair enough point, if somewhat high level generalisation. It does mean nothing much is going to be approved by anyone in a new seat for next at least 3 months. Then you could argue 6 weeks of that are covered by year end holidays.

Either way - things that move slowly enough will, for the next however long, move even slower.

Early scores are suggesting the ruling BDP party are set to be routed with UDC taking a majority in Parliament (need 31 or more seats) and cornering almost all the local wards/councils. If true, this is an Uber shift of power - meaning a big bunch of guys who have zero previous experience of Govt will be walking into jobs where their first thoughts will likely be How much of this treasure trove can I grab for myself (and make up for lost time).

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Gas flow rates fluctuate due to surging water and coal fines - is water the major problem or coal fines or plain badly drilled wells?

Next phase of production well drilling will commence once preferred method of dewatering and handling coal fines has been agreed and additional funding is in place - that is a BIG statement to make. Explain clearly please the various implications, as in are horizontal wells the best option now?

Lesedi substation designed for rapid expansion enabling Tlou to scale 10MW to 25MW - put some Revenue forecasts around this please?

Is Tlou required to hand back the transmission line infrastructure to BPC in due course? On what terms?

Gas flows and gas content - we already know about flow rate problems. Are additional problems lurking in gas content results? Will CO2 need to be stripped out and, if so, how will disposal be dealt with?

Funding - assuming existing wells can be made to work consistently, how much additional funding is required to complete the initial project as envisaged? (They say the first generator is 10MW using reciprocating 1,375kW Cummins branded gas engine - new or second hand?).

What is management view of the future for Tlou Energy ahead? Be honest please.

It's all going to plan.

Aye right Brad - tell me, where did Tlou get the money to pay for the equipment then?

Let me spare you the bother of another of your make ups - Botala picked up cheap kit. Whether it works or not is a different story, but the guys there can work miracles with pieces of scrap metal apparently.

You really are a bitter and twisted soul. Not good for you mate, not good.

Didnt realise you were the LSE moderator nowadays Sono - and thanks for the advice. But having taken abuse from you for years, surely you won't begrudge me some payback moments. You stay well now.

Bythesea - sadly you were not the only one suckered into believing the Tlou hype at the time. The real culprits are the inexperienced managers who decided upon a social media platform to target the retail shareholders of whom there are many. This required the appointment of Tidd_83 at that time - people like him knew how to operate outside the regulatory boundaries of securities trading.

My opposition to him and him misinformation peddling accomplices (the shareholder group who communicated directly offline) is well known - for which i have taken endless online abuse. Sticks and stones and all that though.

What I would say is - there are some folks here that seem genuinely friendly with poster Bradsmith. For the sake of his sanity in his remaining days, would you try get him to see that he is dropping his money into a never-ending hole from which he is highly likely to get next to nothing back. It seems to me he simply cannot see or accept the reality that TG is not a saint; that past success is no guarantee of future success (fundamental rule of investing), that TG's comment about Botswana coals being the best he has ever seen should never have been made, and that Brad's endless messages about CBM history in Botswana are largely a reflection of his imaginative and muddled mind (whats left of it).

For what it is worth, I recently heard there was a public auction of Sekaname's mining equipment conducted by a Court appointed Sheriff. That would suggest they are goners. But i emphasise this is just something I heard from someone else, so is unconfirmed information.
