Whizz, I don't think there will be loads of talk if the commercial rates are achieved.
I foresee an RNS and an Andrew Scott interview followed by a really hectic period as Botswana come out of the closet and announce their take on things. I expect this to be positive, and if not, we'll see which other interested parties are in the wings.

It will be particular interesting to see if Mr Moagi honours his predecessor's promise to ramp up CBM progress towards being the main source of electricity for the immediate future. I cannot believe Eric Molale said that without the support of the same PM as we now have, post election. My only concern is why Eric was replaced .... was it a good move for Eric personally or a sign of displeasure from the PM? Is he being consulted or ignored? Time will tell.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle :O)
The share price will be like the dewatering process .... we will see a healthy rise if your post materialise which ought to wipe out any losses, But we won't be rich until the income has been reinvested enough times to supply a significant amount of electricity. It seems likely a few generations starting with 2Mw followed by ever increasing capacity units as the gas comes online.

Babies are being born that were conceived around the time TLOU started production wells Lesedi #3 and #4
They and this project are in their infancy. I reckon we'll be walking first :O) and potty trained?
From MM post we might be dewatering #5 as #3 and #4 are pumped out.

Looking on the bright side Donk reckons he regularly visits Botswana ..... the civil war he tried to frighten us with might just 'rid us of this meddlesome pri*" ...... priest! Never realised the job centre finances international job searches?

We'll be able to celebrate with him on our celebration visit once TG's hat-trick is in the bag. I'm sure the big game hunters can spare him for a few hours from their Donkey shoot. I'd ask him what the local brew is like but I doubt he even has a passport.

Blimey, I've let that link run through Meat Loaf's 3 major hits twice - I'd forgotten how good he is.
Jim Steinman wrote them (and Total Eclipse of the Heart) and Meat Loaf turned down the chance to be lead singer with Foreigner to stay with Jim. He was also offered the lead in Phantom and turned that away too. Quite a guy.

My lasting memory of him , like Paul McCartney and Alice Cooper before or after , was his talking about his kids and how they were being brought up to NOT live the life off their super rich parents. Very grounded in real life, but what a massive personality on stage.

It is only the AIM market where the selling is going on.
The Botswanan Pension fund presumably used their domestic exchange , I guess the buddies deal was conducted through ASX. My 9.4c (5p equivalent) still prevails after all this time in Oz , the Bots exchange is stable at 5.7p equivalent (0.8 Pula) after a huge step down in May.

I have finally had enough of self-justifying myself on ADVFN whilst actually trying to get though slidified brains that this project on really started in Spring 2019 with the first production wells.
The rest was foreplay and costly but mainly unavoidable to get this 'off the ground' - wonderful language, English.

My new years resolution is to leave that chatroom to itself.
By argiuing I am given an open platform for the same tosh to be repeated ad nausea.

If nobody argues the tosh will be exposed for the unmitigated biased tripe it is.

It galls me because new investors don't know it is tripe except there is rarely a tick against it.
If there were some ticks I've got some flea and tick tablets I use on Poppy - who needs some exercise.
I have just found that she threw up the fish and chip leftovers I gave her the other night.
My sister tells me raw potato is bad for dogs and it may be the first chips she's eaten. She wouldn't eat chips when she was young and I thought she'd leave the few I gave her in her bowl.

Cooked potatoes in moderation can be given but it is a controversial subject apparently.
My bad, I thought many dogs ate chips judging by owners comments when I take them to the park and their dog sniffs me out.

GLR Colm seems very relaxed about finance, and he is Finance Director.
BDC look to be comfortable handing over $10M chunks to all and sundry.
I'm looking for the list I found a while back to support that and found this article.
Undated but from the wording post March 2019 , which was history at the time.

It is a good read

hTTps://yourbotswana.com/2019/06/30/tlou-energy-gassed-up/

Now I have posted the link I'd take a stupid guess at June 30th :O)

Going back, Colm talks about needing $10M in the short/medium term like it that is not a concern.
Longer term this rises to £30M but that money will hopefully be quite secure with TLOU up and running successfully.
And if Botswana don't want to play ball the other countries who need electricity might supply a sack of balls?

Midas well Scott? ('Might as well' for solid people on other sites!).

You said 'things' NE so you really really really asked for this :O)

Happy New Year everyone!

I really should proof read ... typos everywhere.

Have listened to the last link and the current position at that time are now old hat.
This is still a few years ago but contains more evidence of TLOU's philosophy.

The latest we know is this link

Well said Chukkers.
For those of you who may have seen Chukkers post challenged elsewhere- the challenger has never accepted that the PPA relies on having ome fugures to base the agreement on.

Everyone concerned is waiting to see how well the gas flows once dewatering in complete.
How well it it flows depends a bit on how fast they dewater. Too fast and they could block the channels with coal finings (dust and upwards) , too slow and we have those amongst us who get impatient.

It is fact that the more water that flows the greater the chance that the gas flows will be greater.

The amount of CBM seems very likely enough to support 2MW. I have little doubt that could be the basis for an agreement now. Botswana, and no doubt, TLOU , are hoping we can provide much more within a reasonable timetable. The number that is bandied about is 20Mw - 10 times the supply will obviously make a huge difference to the price we can offer.

The outlay for transmission lines for a mere 2MW will be horrendous - not so bad for 20Mw!

Production wells ere started in Spring , flowing , albeit slowly by summer, and I believe TLOU when they say are improving since without getting to their peak yet.

To that potential investor .... GLR ... please read the latest RNS which describes tha above.

From memory the water pump will have reached a sensible dewatering rate if it can be consistently run at 100 rpm or less.
Strating off at 3#over 300 rpm is is now fluctuating (the finings issue and amount of water being released) between 100 rpm and 200 rpm.

If you believe TLOU the future looks rosy. If you don't you post elsewhere.

This intervie gives you a very good potted industry of the CBM history and imho it is compelling.
The benefits of Botswanan prices, the decision to be there rather than elsewhere, TG's history , and a chance to decide if he likely to be honest or talking about pigs in blankets (telling porkies). i.e. the criticisms you can read elsewhere!

There is a subsequent podcast with later news provided by the finance director, Colm Cloonan which might interest you if you haven't seen it.

Here is the link for the potted history #

9.4c of course

Most search engines respond to this .... the summary is all you need - no links needs selecting.

simple type "aud to gbp" in a search - currently 0.54 is likely to be the reply.
To get more significant digits, enter a number of dollars
e.g. 1000 aud to gbp returns 535.62 so 0.53562

Cannot bellieve my 5.4c manipulation of ASX price is still running after all this time!
If ever proof was needed the sp is meaningless that must be it?

Hope you all have a good Xmas , mine is going to be a religious one despite my being an atheist.
I'll have a beer or two and celebrate Jehova style - one of my aunts became a witness and as a result my cousins loved my mum to bits because she was normal. Poppy won't notice but I'm going to get her a Henry Wag microfibre towel if they haven't sold out.
It is like a giant pair of oven mittens and won a BBC inventors challenge last week - looks brilliant for muddy wet dogs! Mine loves water and even has webbed feet, truly. She lies down in the water to drink and you can imagine how muddy the river bed can be. In the programme, contestants test each others inventions,
One did not have a dog but had toddlers! She threw a pint of water or more onto her tiled floor, put her feet in the towel, and waddled through the water! It picked it all up - another old boy put it on a rain sodden bench to keep his backside dry when he sat on it. It scored 42 out of 50 - a very high score in that programme because people mark down in order to win themselves.

You've guesssed ..... I am thinking of sending one to TLOU to speed up the dewatering process :O)

Found a brilliant article , if it makes no sense please ignore (as usual?).
I have been going through the motions described but thought it was generating interrupts - now it is clearer what is going on.

Look at all the sea salt we'd have for getting rid of the snow and ice in Botswana. :O)
Does it get that cold?
I looked it up, and our summer months are indedd iable to frosts.
-2c to -8c in July and August have been known.

BTS it shows how last year took its toll on me - I have blanked it out apparently :O)
I am in the middle of watching Inception - I'll blame Chris Nolan!

It's luverley to see some chat on here even if

Xmas will be the anniversary of our steep rise from 11p (20th Dec 2018) to 17p (9th Jan 2019)
I'll reckon there is a Santa Claus (St. Tony?) if history repeats itself - and it is conceivable that an announcement could come in that period.
I look forward to the heavenly thread - did not want to post on this one really. My 9.4c is still the sp and without my satanic buy it would have been 9.5c but better the devil you know, I hope?

BTS, that is the point, if a token transaction of £250 is as difficult as my experience - what would a decent sized buy be like?
IG said it was due to the low share price 10% above a small sp is still a small sp. We're getting near to the theory of calculus here . I'm not saying there is suppressed demand but the scope is in place to suppress buying but not selling.

I am tempted to post this on ADVFN, morning folks!, but their unelected president copies our posts for them because he is the only one reading both chatrooms in his tiny mind.

I am hoping people who sell shares too cheaply are aware of the repercussions of following the ADVFN leader. If he has a penny to spend, he is trying to get the sp down to that penny - not much else makes sense. The market anomaly makes his task easier than it should be. If the sp reflected the sp for buys rather than sells we might see a reversal of the trend.

Has anybody else experienced ORDER DELETED when trying to buy?
It would interesting to know if this was just a one-off or a regular occurrence.

Have to empathise with Donk- he is pleased he is banned from posting here - Amen!
