I don't bother with this site anymore. I am disillusioned with my former hero Gilby!
He has diluted the value of our shares repeatedly by offering discounts to a select few.
GET STUFFED SHAREHOLDERS has come across loud and clear!

I don't blame him for stuffing us on the OPTIONS at 4.4p when the price looked like it was headed for twice that figure. I expected him to attempt some sort of compensation for circumstances (Covid) letting us down , but he has not! Far from it!

Not only has he conducted repeated devaluations of the shareprice , but he has missed the opportunities that have been there for a new energy provider! I find it hard to believe that various bodies were not approachable with some urgency to finance us whilst energy prices and demand were extremely high!

Botswana must be screaming out for energy with the decline in South Africa's imports, and screaming at the price they are paying no doubt. With 40 years+ of gas in the ground, I'd expect them to support any requests to finance the escalation of drills, wells, sites and bigger tx lines.

And if the Govt is not interested then the BP and Shells of this world with windfall billions in the bank would be all ears I reckon? Orapa is crying out for gas , so why not open up Mamba and get a pipeline to Orapa underway. We have the same holes in the ground that we had years ago using the slowly slowly catcha monkey approach. That was sensible when prices were modest but the demand for energy is passing us by! All we'll find is monkey muck that was dropped months ago! It is pathetic! Instead of expanding in Hydrogen, Solar , and Crypto all we have is reduced gas flows while a few poles are erected. Meanwhile we are all getting considerably older and poorer! The share price should never have dropped from 5p+ , but TLOU reduced it to 3.5p with their discounts, and then to less than 2p with further discounts for Tony and his Cronies (sounds like a band). I cannot believe it is over 4 years since the missus died and TLOU are not much further on now than they were then and the many years before!

I have not sold any of my 2m+ shares - I have given up expecting to profit personally but maybe my boys will live long enough to see a return. We see substations have slipped into 2024. Is that because the poles and wires slipped? Or has the drilling slipped and delayed the need for poles and wires, and substations?

Good to see BTS and Olda have been able to afford the keeping of their shares.
The state of North Yorkshire Potash is hardly a consolation but the comparison with TLOU is amazing! If Gilby had the helm at Sirius they'd still be alive and moving the ball slowly with their feet. And if Chris Fraser (their CEO) was at TLOU , we'd have solar panels, substations and wires financing the Orapa pipeline and more wells at Lesedi.

Our green SOLAR would work during the day during sunlight , leaving coal and diesel power to other companies until Lesedi succeeds.

TLOU has been on the go for how many years in Botswana?
I cannot understand how anybody would be remotely interested in this stock if there was the slightest doubt that there is not trillions of cu ft of methane to be released.

Currently, we cannot use any of the gas we release. Polluting the world with raw or flared methane is not only a waste of a resource. Selemo is still powering the local site so turning methane into electricity is PROVEN after over 7 years, and how many years has Lesedi been flaring now? Lesedi 6 will hopefully be constructed so that it dewaters faster than Lesedi 3 and 4 , talking of which , we hear nothing about the dewatering process from Colm. And nothing about Lesedi 5 either? Afaik we were going to drill a parallel path to the existing paths to draw the water away from the gas and water - was that axed?
I assume the poles and wires are slipping so the original Q3 target for substations slipped on the schedule. I hope the poles/wires have not slipped, in turn, because of the gas flows/dewatering delays on Lesedi 3-5 or a new reliance on Lesedi 6?

Pity Andrew Murray did not conduct the podcast, I like to think he would have asked deeper questions. But are these podcasts orchestrated by TLOU and Proactive are told what to ask as a few on here believe? The story winds on - it is like High Noon with the clock ticking around to midday - 365 times - for how many years?

Dactions, who knows how many false articles are still circulating and drawing folk to this stock?
I saw three names associated with carbon copies of it. People ought to be wise to the fact that the price has dropped from 10p to less than 2p , but we all want to believe we have found the stock that is going to make us rich.

It's always seemed to me Orapa want the gas and, now, even more so with the price rises in diesel. Mamba is nearest to Orapa and is still 50% further than Lesedi-Serowe , so the pipeline won't be cheap , and Mamba has not been opened up yet. Dewatering at Mamba is an unknown afaik. I wonder whether we could not pump water and gas into a pipeline and build in filters to separate the water out en route? Are there any engineers still on this board? As the water declines we'd have a higher % of gas being delivered? Sounds easier imho than powering an electricity generator and sending electrons along wires/cables.

Perhaps Orapa could build the pipeline from their end , and we'd build from Mamba and meet up. That wiould speed it up for both parties.

Pure guess, but they are confirming what I experienced yeserday -only 8 shares available on the books! If you ring they'll tell you the silly prices are if there any, or they'll enter your price and see if there any takers?

Checking the times , he put in a limit bid for 2.1p and stuck with it! So until my trades were done he could not get the 2.1p . Then the seller took 2.1p reluctantly no doubt! A bit of a chump , as was I , for not sticking out for your price of 2.32p which I would have have got. A few hundred shares difference so big deal - just my pride! And I keep frequent trader status.

Small fry - you really know why if you think about it.
It was filled a few shares at a time - it is probably timed when the first lot were filled (the ones I thought were there for me before I funded the account) - I grabbed a few with my 3 trades - all 100% fills and I am assuming they will complete whole orders in preference to partial fills?

Eventually his order was filled or he aborted the transaction for the final tranche!
And at that time the trade was complete and timed accordingly. The actul price paid will be the weighted average of the separate tranches I reckon.

So he messed me up and then I messed him up - and beither of us knew unless he has L2 which shows the full gamut of bids and offers. I am too tight to pay for L2.

My socks cost 40p in Primark so I look forward to them being worth £2.
But who is going to buy them?

We play Everton in the final week - I am hoping they will already be down because we beat them twice in a week! Then the world cup arrived, our squad went to Abu Dhabi to prepare for the WINTER and have a rest it seems, they came back sun tanned and asleep, and when from heros to villains! Our new owner still bought us, promised we'd stay up, and then qualify for Eurpoe in future years. He has bought players in their early twenties on 5.5 yr contracts! He is going to set up an academy for both sexes on the Golf Course we bought a while ago for training facility , and is planning a new stadium away from Kings Park. Maybe at the Golf Course with more seats. He is older than me and formed a new Ice Hockey team in 2007 - the first Las Vegas team , Golden Knights , and won whatever their league is called within a couple of years. He has a vineyard so I'm hoping he'll invite all our fans to hishouse to sample his wines! Is your big pond the Solent by any chance? Sorry for the off topic folks but the waiting room is too silent and we might wake you up :O)

I think people are doing dummy sells tosee what price they can achieve.
My Fixed quote was cancelled , but has not appeared as a trade, so the seller rejected the bid imho. My 2 limit bids are still hovering - where are the cheap skates when I want them?
I think I'll reduce my offer to 2.3p !

Exciting times at my football club - we are hot favourites to be relegated!
I have put money on us staying up - we have signed £75m worth of players with pledges to buy the on loan guys in the summer taking it to over £100m!

3 amazing forward players , all 2 footed , a 20yr old Ukrainian who has 21 Champions league matches under his belt, played in all Ukraine's World cup matches, and 9 Europa league matched at centre back! And a left back who scores with either foot .... I am almost wetting myself in anticipation seeing all 5 together. At Brighton, my first away match of the season, on Saturday I see the two most forward players I think, and maybe all 3 if he can settle very quickly ? I'm tempted to use my TLOU stake on the football team but I won't collect until May even if I win!

I cannot buy @2.42p
I tried a dummy buy for all 3 intended buys at it was acceptedat 2.42p without the funds!
Funded and asked for a third of the number but they'd been snapped up.
So I have a third on order at my price and will see if it is taken or when. I have 28 days or less.

There is only 9 shares available on the fixed price quote.
1 share was offered at 2.1
2 shares for 2.2
9 at 2.391

Has the Doctor been turned down for more freebies and switched to the exchanges?

Fixed price is 2.42p with IG Small fry.
You done good at 2.32p!

I only need 3 transactions in February so do I wait or do I pounce?

It's a conspiracy , they know my £300 is due tomorrow and they are trying to limit the number I get :O)

Spot on dactions. The only way millions of shares are going to shift is by making the price too good to be true. As you say, once the dumping is compete there should be a retrace with all the volatility quelled!

It started with the false promises of jam tomorrow , and now a major shareholder getting out!
The article has been taken down so fewer get rich quick believers. And the major seller is maybe chasing faster carbon credits elsewhere from energy companies, which is quicker than waiting for WBI to make enough from timber itself to buy some land for their credits in 7 yrs or more. He knows they have struggled to make profits for years - so is that going to change any time soon? That bet at 1.5p is probably a winner. The realistic price must be higher.

I read a Jeff Bezos article and hoped to see Gabon mentioned. It was not otherwise the price would have improved. imho he is the key factor.

Winni, I thought the RNS did show what the plans are. Finish the poles wires, build the substations, and drill existing and new pods. 100% effort to boil a kettle in Serowe.

I just saw this connected to these pages ....

"Swimming just a few times a week can be a great way of boosting many aspects of your cardiovascular fitness – which may help to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and death from any cause. "

What a lot of tripe! How about drowning?

There is a positive view to be gleaned from the lack of Solar plans.

That is, TLOU can see the whole Tx line being required to deliver the electricity they expect to generate in the next year or two.

If they only expected to generate a small proportion of the 25Mw capacity then it would make sense to install a lot of solar panels and get value for the Poles/Wires outlay for the intervening time. The old TG might have thought that! The new one might be wanting to cash out as soon as we can boil a kettle at Serowe and the project is proven!!!! And the share price reaches his target?

Was going to remain quiet but TB mentioning Orapa was something that tempted me!
It looks like the death knell for Hydrogen and Crypto and they are struggling to find something to replace them. It seems clear that Orapa are waiting for us and we are the only game in town for them! As I always thought!

We have all suffered dilution whilst a few took advantage of giveaway prices! They clearly need lots more money and I fear the b's will get the price up and then have an open placement at 2 or 3 times ther price they got for themselves!! Or they really take the p and issue even more at laughable prices to the elite few! I can see the Pension fund being sweetened with an exclusive offer just for them!

The other glaring omission was any plans for Solar which goes along with the lack of news on Hydrogen. I'll go back into hibernation if I can find some sleeping pills! Mugs take drugs - very appropriate because I feel like I have been mugged! Still have every share I bought and I think it is still a good share even if it is the small shareholders who are suffering dilution from above!!

My Hydrogem motorbike will cost a lot more shares than I was expecting! It is not even designed yet so don't try to find it! I'll need Virgin to deliver it to outer space I guess? Heaven is definitely now on earth , though hell might be!! And then I'll be a Hydrogen Hell's Angel :O)

Morning olda, at 1.9p he cannot really go wrong. The first news of the power lines linking Serowe and Lesedi surely guarantees a profit. How long has Selemo been providing gas and electricity? Tlou can connect Selemo and switch development. We would be liable for royalties but that is only 3% for electricity I think (12% for gas). Selemo could be used for Crypto mining , or Hydrogen production if either needs gas! Solar power is not disappearing whatever happens ot it is the end of our world as we know it, Jim!
