No buying US bonds .... powerful

.... which, US citizens and corporations have no limits on aquiring an interest in, so what's his beef with taking over the whole country ?

is it that he doesnt like the environmental rules ?

on the military front US has had bases for ages and probably will do , long after his tenure is mercifully over

@FrankCrisp ... and which side is Trump on in Ukraine ?

"the future will be determined by the ability to protect commerce" .... bascially a slide back to imperial mercantilism.

Extraction of Heavy Oil from tar sands

A company called Petroteq developed a process to extract very heavy oil from tar sands. They were recently delisted. Some pilot plant had been built and tested in Asphalt Ridge Utah and there was some talk of testing Quadrise's (QED) MSAR process, which basically emulsifies it in water providing a fairly clean and efficient fuel .

Trump -> Lauder -> Yuran Va Johnson Vivian Motzfeldt

Infiltration

"Influence buying" (bribery and corruption)

Ronald Lauder - Greenland Development Partners ... opacity

Greenland's elite ? infiltrated ?

Greenland Water Bank ... Sven Hardenbar, Yuran Va Johnson

Hardenbar former civil servant, advisor to prime minister of Greenland

Still getting 2.75 to buy.

I was interested in this share some years ago, around the time Petroteq (now delisted) were doing their trial with the POSP, with some view of oil sands -> heavy sweet oil , clean sand; heavy sweet oil -> processed by MSAR process into useable low suphur fuel oil (Quadrise's process). Are we anywhere further down the line, where are things at, at present ?

Should alternatives to settlement of oil trades become more generally acceptable in alternative payment systems, then the capacity of the US to use sanctions is greatly diminished (no bad thing really) and most importantly, if US treasury bills to refinance debt that comes to maturity proves difficult (bear in mind that Japan is itself, up to the eyeballs) then there are a diminishing number of cards that can be played :-

1. increase the coupon rate on new bonds, which infers a higher base rate. Although that may curb inflation, tariffs are the immediate cause of inflation in the US coupled with world wide historic money printing. This may cause a sharp recession in the US, though the headline blame would probably be the retraction of a few rather overpriced mega stocks , particularly AI centred.

2. kick the debt can down the road ... by buying their own treasury bills with freshly printed cash, thus increasing the USD in circulation without attendant growth.

i'm quite confident that in the fullness of time, it will emerge that trump is a trojan horse, bent on furthering the interests of oligarchy, the same sort of people who plundered the former soviet union in yeltsins days. his presidency will have ended by the time groc's current projects come to fruition.

the values of europe will eventually prevail. canada may very well be closer aligned to europe.

one consequence may well be the partial supplanting of the dollar's prominence for international settlement. in turn, this may result in a lower non domestic demand for us treasury bills. the budget deficit may be seriously addressed, though one mechanism could result in the ******ation of the living standards of most of the us population.

As we type, the sub £10 trader wades in .... eye roll

Some quite sizeable buying today, but jber remains unmoved

@Toplocks thank you for clarifying that. My models are based on getting to DFS and other info needed for the final investment decision. In that regard i'm looking not much further, because some quite good forecasts have alrwady been laid down by the company, from which we can imply a net present value to the two projects.

@Toplocks what funding are you referring to ? That which is necessary to get to DFS ?

Both morrow , the planned active anode material plant of grocs and the mine have balanced outputs. The morrow plant's capacity matches the projected demand for EV production in europe

@Toplocks, I disagree that Lithium will be the preferred solution for static batteries where weight is not a consideration. I believe Sodium Chloride batteries will be the leading technology for that application, although, they are proportionately more costly at this moment in time. I'm looking at a battery for off grid at my own rural property, fed by some solar panels, wind turbines and of course the grid itself

With respect to "dropping ban", what they mean is limiting non zero emission cars to 10% of annual production.

Personally I don't agree with that slippage, if you say you are going to do something, do it, the time to "talk about it" is later

I am confident that gold will be encountered at commercial grades in the upcoming exploration. Perhaps I am more confident than the executive in this, since perhaps they wanted other projects underway so that a failure to encounter such grades was not such a body blow ? Who knows ? What I dont understand is that they have the safety net of GROC in terms of assets on the balance sheet at a time where the value of other projects seems either totally impaired or of a very low value. Naturally cash constraints have been an issue, however I would say that confidence has been the bigger issue.

Id point out that I had offered to buy a blob of refined certified gold at premiums similar to the coins. ..... declined
