We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Once Noel Lyons finished with his broom and shovel, things looked a lot brighter. the new additions, financing with a definite direction puts EDL/Shuka as you say on the strong buy list .
SOS you never know we might just get a chunk of our hard earned back sooner rather than later, it has been a long haul !
450k looks like a Spreadex trade, we shall know in a couple of days no doubt.
Rules/Rukwa predictive text
I think JB made two things clear, Rules is a valuable asset producing coal, the value of which has yet to be determined, as a producing asset or as an asset to be sold.
But the main drive will be away from coal as financing is more readily available. The income from diversification is sometime in the future leaving coal as our only source of income, whatever that may be. Until the markets are updated we have no idea what that income is or will be.
Whatever's going on people are buying into it, hence the rise in the SP.
I see the tick ups continue. Perhaps we will get that update on Rukwa and a clearer view of what a modest production is, bearing in mind they intend to exploit a new coal seam.
No mention of current or new contracts or the ability to fulfill them.
A producing mine indeed ????????
There's a few in the same boat, some have been in longer.
Magafuli has a lot to answer for!
Now it would seem we just might be on a turning tide.
To provide an update.
Silence since April.
No production details, ??? contracts, all points to the same big fat, (now geriatric ) rat scurrying in the woodpile!
On site in sight would be good as well.lol.
Rukwa resource including the expanded licence is huge but little point in clapping until the equipment is on sight.
I have no doubt that Rukwa will pay, but, not without further investment and, as the coal needs washing, reliable plant, that is capable of producing sufficient coal to get them over the wet season, something which they lack at this moment in time hence the failure to fulfill contracts which is why the stipulation to any new contract is reliability.
Further to my last post, the lack of info on current production and the running 2k tonnes pm. contract could mean another RNS might be coming shortly, who knows ?
Does it matter? I suppose the only answer to that is yes.
From pre production to production up to the present day, there's always been high demand from surrounding countries and within TZ, the out come has been consistently the same , the inability to fulfill contracts due to failure of the washer and failure to get the coal out of the ground. There's nothing in the RNS to suggest things have changed!
Nothing new then, it would seem that production is still reliant on their rust bucket washer, which, judging by the lack of up to date production figures, is not reliable, otherwise they would be boasting about how they are increasing sales.
The last day to report results as usual is never a good sign, it would be great to be proven wrong!
The delay in the results was pre COVID, it was left to the last minute to notify the markets. I'm not sure if the correct date, not that it matters it is irrelevant and down to the previous management, I certainly won't be arguing over it, the current management have left things to the last minute so until the results are posted we are in the same position as we were with the previous regimes, I was hoping for something a little better . We shall see if that little red dot appears at 7am.
No doubt your fingers will be firmly crossed again, lol.
It was some years back but you will no doubt recall EDL getting an extension on the reporting period when they were in the deep do do.
In fact everything is remarkably silent!
I did think the results would be posted today, still time yet I suppose.
I think we all know that the results will be dire but the update to now and forward looking statement should be interesting, that's if we get one.
We shall see how today and tomorrow progress.
I seem to remember T.O. about a year ago, when interviewed stating that he expected FDBK to be a big company within 2 years. No sign of imminent contracts, so, it looks a bit fanciful to me. having said that at this price it's worth adding.
Apri/May have been reasonably dry so I would expect production targets to have been met. Which makes me wonder what has happened due to the lack of updates after April's production and May's production.
No doubt we shall find out by this months end if not before.
With the increased funding and JB getting involved with the intention of developing the Rukwa coal field into profitability, another update with the results, should see a sustained rise in the SP over the coming weeks/months but we have had promises before?
