FFS @Graham Turner… don’t call me callous! ‘@A__****** and the investor that never was!’
Hi Ella,
Did you not find it interesting NvS was involved in venture capitalism for AA in South America? could argue he is doing now for AA but with Arc!
Assword you do make me giggle!
Far easier politically for HH to have certain licenses revoked or restricted going forward on the Cadestre reshuffle. HH needs to dissipate any potential stronghold festering away on the Copperbelt by supporters of the former president Edgar Lungu (PF). Any links to criminal activities or past head of state anyone!?
PS. Congratulations on that Diploma CT!
2m tonnes of copper in the ground; wonder how much % Fawaz gets? Is that contract Colin signed with Fawaz still in place?Kneecaps still seem intact! Oh dear!
“African Consolidated Resources (ACR) wins the legal (and military) fight against the small business of local tribal chiefs (EAKM), thanks to a strategic decision by its biggest shareholder and president Colin Bird: he does not fight Fawaz, but concludes a contract sold him a percentage of his business and, a few years later, changed his name to Xtract Resources[159]. In this way, Fawaz and Lungu share the profits[160] of other ACR companies: the Gadzema gold mine, the Pickstone-Peerless gold mine and the Nkombwa Hill diamond mine[161].
Well done Bob Thompson my son! :)

An interesting, complete article which highlights, inter alia, the involvemrnt of Colin Bird.
CEO of a numer of companies over the years, he lists many academic qualification, including C.Eng. Until recently though, he listed a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Mining as hs major qualification on the GLR website. After I made a passing comment on his HND, he changed this simply to a Diploma. At around the same time, I noticed that a BSc was added to his list of educational qualifications on his XTR website. Significantly perhaps because he eventually realized that to be considered as a CEng he would need `a good degree` and much experience in industry. My `spy` with influence within the CEng empire could find no mention of any Colin Bird being appointed CEng.
All of the above pales into insignificance when one reads about his dubious involvement and management as described in your article above.
Many Thanks,
Bob Thompson

SeisNav,
Grades pretty much what Ella expected… hardly surprising is it when you already know what they are :) To be sure, to be sure, to be sure!
Why are there no Irish lawyers? Because none of them could pass the bar :)
Agreed F… ambulance chasing for sure.
TC… Maybe next time you should look up the source before posting, looking desperate old man.
