I think the sensible voter will vote BNP over a mash up of the others. Bangla knows the BNP has more grass root support for business and can steer out of the morass of debt better. The mish mash of allied parties will squabble and be more dogma based with policy imo. They both want Phulbari open pit. As I said, I would like Tariq to openly get behind Phulbari to help BNP election chances and to be transparent about it.

That is a worry but after the Interim Government performance and helping hand to NCP and Jamaat I think more of the same and Phulbari aswell will not get the vote over BNP's more sensible approach with Phulbari and no corruption sensibly underlined by them.

The son can pick up where the Mother left off but with nothing in the budget for development like this FDI is needed or modality as Tang calls it.

Win the election as a precursor.

Edit applied:

...........son will have more bal ls than his previous comments and mention Phulbari has to be seen to happen.

Amend 4 lines up by adding ...than his previous comments.. and deleting Rahman who is Zia's son! He may not be up to speed to be on the hustings.

Rahman said this on 10/12 If the BNP comes to power, it will refrain from undertaking mega projects

Others have said own resources have to be used.

Many voters are brainwashed by Yunus, especially NCP voters who have allied with Jamaat rather dangerously for them as their green agenda means nothing to the right wing authoritarians.

BNP are working toward green economy but via cheaper coal from home as jollychippy just pointed out but whether Khaleda Zia's son will have more bal ls than Rahman and mention Phulbari has to be seen. I think he should. See what a trouble Starmer gets in when election promises are broken.

Bangladesh needs to mend the balance of payments and farm exports will not cut it but Phulbari and PC mega projects will increase farm exports.

I like it that the MOU has come out to cement the GCM/PC bond . Pitstok's comment about being tight lipped at the AGM does indicate GCM are at the heart of future developments especially as not being so could delay starting for unacceptable months/year which PC especially would not like and they have the clout imo.

Originally I thought the MOU would be shaped by the successful victor at the elections but maybe PC and the energy policy advisory debate pre election has set the agenda for a draft pit policy which utilises Bangladeshi workers as much as possible? the modality being agreed with Chinese top brass.

A lot can be inferred rather and I think you are dead right with your assumptions inferred.

"Harry is a true visionary"

I have watched it again and Jeremy Gray's attitude must be a real boost to HAA and digesting the video content better second time round and his intention to visit the site I consider Mr Gray will be a great asset for us with free consulting and great encouragement. He will bring good publicity to KEFI coming from a proven miner.

Happy Christmas!

Let him enjoy Christmas and a few tipples of success. I am more appreciative of why a raise was required and how he understands the market he operates in very well but he will need a break.

Although I have a KEFI holding in an ISA the spread bet I took out was 13 months in the red before climbing into profit in August. I have now tripled the bet and hope for a shorter run to profit from the red it has slipped into today. Not meant for long term spread betting but I cannot watch a chart and screen to day trade but like the leverage if I think I am in a good trade and ups the interest/research.

Previous chat thought a raise after final close when SP was higher. The city boys and finance people are getting 10% of the parent company and diluting at risk price not risk removed price. TKGM is a one off project but KEFI is everything and they do not deserve the unearned reward.

I can't see them ever having a shareholder's platform like this one and building country wealth via business growth.

I wish the African interests were prepared to go lockstep with HA as at the moment they don't seem to grasp risk/reward. It is probably why the West runs their mining and takes profit to repeat the process while they take it to splurge on whatever eg a palace.

43m total on IG

A large volume figures traded for early in the day.

As was said yesterday many parties to contact pre RNS and a pity situation was made messy- unavoidable imo.

HA needed the money because the launch was more or less set for Q1.

Chancy Chancery judging from his demeanour. Gutted that the Ethioprefs and other equity is last to the line-

▪ The Company is processing proposals of US$43 million for its innovative

Ethiopian Birr denominated Preference Shares (Redeemable and Non

Convertible) with specific qualified local investors, US$23 million of which

has progressed into the detailed documentation stage.

▪ A US$50 million in-country-level investment by a specialist African fund remains

in advanced discussions, together with consideration of other proposals to

optimise the equity-risk component of the Project financing should they be

preferred.

-and may not even reach it. I wanted country/African interest not Western monopoly. Except for the Ethiopian development bank and Government 5% there is no Africa element as AFC is guaranteed with western money in the background so no platform building for new projects.

I don't think so Magic. He is probably manning the company comms to finalise things which seems obvious to me when he has so much at stake. However I agree were things not so advanced he might well have attended but good to see Ethiopia are publicising HA's trailblazing to other investors.
