I wonder where Zambia thinks it is going to find freely available power on SAPP in industrial type quantities......

This all just adds to complete farcical nature of constraints imposed by Govts and Ministries supporting power generation in southern africa region. It should just be so simple. But isnt.

KAV has a pretty huge land mass under PLs in Botswana. And each PL requires minimum spend under the terms of the licenses - so dont be surprised if they try sell them on, before having to give them up.

A VIRTUAL CERTAINTY that didnt happen - but i guess that is everybody else's fault except Saint Tony. He must be really lucky to always have a ready made excuse.

So no longer on filter. Another not surprise. Keep up the good work - talking yourself in ridiculous and childish circles.

Better still, contact the company to ask about the 169m shares, and then when they explain everything to you and ask you for how many shares you want to subscribe for - don't be surprised if it all goes silent at the other end. Maybe you can enlist Clooless to help place the shares; he seems to think everything is easy as well.

Match made in heaven.

PS - the more you keep posting your twaddle, the more ammo you give me to blast you back. Which stops anyone wanting to post anything remotely approaching common sense relating to Tlou. Will you ever learn .... or is it just so important you listen to your own fantasy musings....

Back on filter I guess will be your next post.

The reason for the options back then was to make shareholders think they were getting an extra freebie as enticement to subscribe in the underlying placement. For somebody so smart, you sure dont have much clue how fund raising in the market works.

As for who gets to play God - seriously! The man with money that, as a result of their own due diligence, decides to subscribe for shares is where any decision is made. Are you sure you actually live on planet Earth ?!

BPOPF 7.75% for USD; Doc is 10% for A$ - maybe the point is securing debt is easy when you are happy to pay debt at any price.

The Times headline today: "Mounting pressure on the £6.5 trillion private equity industry raises the risk of a crunch that could cause big losses for banks and a crisis that spills over into the real economy, the Bank of England has warned.

Regulators are stepping up scrutiny of the private equity market amid worries that sharp rises in interest rates in the past two years are creating problems for an industry that is heavily reliant on debt."

Come on Brad - tell us how high interest and huge dilution is TG being parsimonious again.

Sweet jaysus, he wonders what i posted - because he doesnt want to read my posts. Then posts that pile of absolute shoite saying what i think, know, and rubbishes everything i say (which he hasnt read) and then posts what he knows by way of reply.

FFS Brad catch yourself on. Cease and desist - i feel like you are stalking me now.

That is one perspective of the contributions of the Board members Brad - and is fair enough. How about this for another.

GG has been on the Board for many years now. I remember one specific post by Tidd on his unofficial site bigging GG up by saying he was the man to deal with local issues. It is hard to see what he has managed to fix or accelerate for Tlou. And turning to Linda, and absolutely not wishing to speak ill of the dead, it is hard for me to see what her key achievements for Tlou were. She did not have any/many shares. She did not have any input into getting CBM added to the energy Integrated Resources Plan. Tlou was already a preferred bidder to the initial Gas to Power 100MW concept tender. Doesnt seem that she or GG had any great ability to accelerate the award and construction of the 100kn transmission line. Or pushing to get the sub-stations built any quicker.

So both had great titles when joining Tlou - GG being Permanent Secretary to Minister of Mines & Energy (I think), and Linda the former Governor of BoB. If they used their influence to accelerate matters and decisions, then that just shows how badly TG and team read the local politics in Botswana.

Everybody is getting very excited about connection to grid happening soon. Fair enough. But please stay true to the long and painful journey to get here; I dont know of anyone that comes out with credit in this journey taking so long to complete.

But nobody is likely to agree with me. But then - I hope none of you think I care.

Surprise surprise I broadly agree with you Winni. In amongst my many critical posts, it is forgotten that I have often asked why are the powers that be in Botswana making it so difficult for the CBM industry to gain acceptance. The gas is found in Botswana coals and belongs to Botswana; generating power from CBM is globally established and understood; so why why why does Govt / Ministry / BPC make it soo incredibly difficult for a local industry that would bring huge economic benefits to the country get established.

Normal profit minded people would think the road opens up beautifully and is hopefully with a downhill slope. The trajectory for many years has been pushing problems always uphill. But Tlou and CBM industry needs the doubters in-country to change their attitudes and get behind the players. I still doubt those doubters have the capacity to change their positions. Sadly.

Let's deal in FACT.15.12.23 - RI announced for 380m shares;

8.1.24 - RI extended to 31.1.24;

5.2.24 - RI results announced with 33m / 8.5 per cent taken up, meaning 91.5 per cent not taken up;

26.3.24 - shortfall shares 178m / 47 per cent placed meaning now 211m / 55.5 per cent placed;

Balance NOT YET placed - 170m or 45 per cent.

The more the 'pump & dump' brigade post here, the more pathetic they become! So sad; so totally lost and utterly clueless they sound.

Then I guess had you known this at point of time investing SafeTr you would not have put your money in. But you did - and I further guess this just makes you feel better ranting regularly about how this did not work out as you had intended back in the day. Tough tittie I guess - suck it up. Like the rest of us.

II am curious Investing Genius as to the logic behind your post that upcoming elections / President Masisi / De Beers negotiations would in any way affect the current prospects of BOD ?

So that filter didnt last long.

What do you think Brad - is achieving 55 per cent placement of available shares, after 4 months effort, deemed to be easy? Deemed to be a success? Come on - spin this one in your own indomitable style so that Saint TG comes out smelling of roses.

Success looks like 55.5 per cent of shares placed after 4 months trying. Quality effort!!

For Clooless, success looks like this:

15.12.23 - RI announced for 380m shares;

8.1.24 - RI extended to 31.1.24;

5.2.24 - RI results announced with 33m / 8.5 per cent taken up, meaning 91.5 per cent not taken up;

26.3.24 - shortfall shares 178m / 47 per cent placed meaning now 211m / 55.5 per cent placed;

Balance NOT YET placed - 170m or 45 per cent.

Yet again, a Tlou long termer looks but simply refuses to see what is Plain & Obvious.

Share price will not trade above 5 pence in the period from now and until one month after the announcement lands grid connection is in place and Tlou says it has sold first electricity to BPC under their PPA.

Well if you were here long term (which you are, just under different names), then you would BTS story. He read and believed all the hype and ballacks spewed by the pump and dump team of class of 2016 to 2018. Then pumped in a big chunk of his retirement savings, and here he is, 6 years later still waiting for Tlou to connect to the grid.

So he doesn't have to wait much longer for that. Good things happen to those who are prepared to wait and all that, right. Then again he only starts making money when the share price rises to higher levels - so soon everything will be great for him. Right ??

Come on everybody, its about time you guessing the price when Tlou and Saint Tony finally achieve their Holy Grail.

Most normal people just ignore someone when they filter a poster. Here they filter a poster (or say they do) but keep talking about him. How weird are you guys?

PS You do realise in a democracy folks are allowed to express their opinion.

So many clever people here telling what stupid olde me thinks - how priceless is that.

I might be minded to listen to some of the advice IF this stone cold dead cert had delivered in terms of price performance and profit. But since we are 10 years plus in, and 2 or 3 more until meaningful revenue/ profit - then forgive if I just keep pointing out what an absurdly stupid bunch of clowns we have all been here !!

One thing I think you are all forgetting - the way of business in Botswana is what has hampered Tlou progress over the years. Now you all seem to have an expectation that all of a sudden, all of that will change and Tlou will be able to race ahead at uber speed. I think hindsight will show that the actual pace of progress will be much slower, just as I also think over 2 billion shares will be in issue by end 2025. And it is really really really tough to make a big profit in such a small and impoverished region when so many shares lay claim to the spoils. But then I forget as always, many here do not think dilution is an important factor. I guess you all just sleep walked through that period in Tlou's journey when they went 100m, 200m, 300, skip a few, 1 billion, 1.2 bilion ......

One thing though - We are all certifiably mad. Me for trying to help you lost and misguided souls for believing so strongly. You for pushing back constantly against me and taking what is clearly an unjustifiably sensible position.

We are all mad !!

Came across this interview today. Tsodilo Resources with iron ore and copper in Botswana. I am aware of tsodilo but cant say i know much about them and their history. But the CEO sure came across as positive about prospects. Copper and gold are the 2 'flavours of the month' using their words in the interview. Really interseting !!

Tlou share price on ASX dropped below 5 cents end January 2022. Yes 2022. How much space has been given here to stupid talk about price spread and volume, merging with AIM price, and yet more hope and expectation that this time, yet again, the price is going to start moving.

You want to criticise my posting here. Start criticising these endless, pointless posts about absolutely NOTHING of relevance to Tlou and it prospects.

When are you guys going to start focussing on the things that matter here ? Instead of pushing back on me and my ramblings
