So the question is, if the helium detected in the brine water is not free-flowing, can it be forced to the surface with water pressure or compressed air, and separated then separated at the surface economically?

Presumably if concentrations were 2-3% in the basement area, this becomes much more relevant?

Joe

And a few air Bags under the Bridges!

Jobs a good 'un!

Would save a days work for the Crane and the slingers loading and unloading, me thinks!

Joe

I was just wondering if they could have got away with not uncoulping the Mast and loading onto a trailer, but don't think the bridges would take the 53 tonnes.

Thanks Skittish

I'll revise that to say that there are river crossings, 2 look like bridges & 1 like a concrete box tunnel, on Google Earth Pro

Apologies for not completing the research properly, guys!

Might not be feasible, then.

Here's a thought provoking question

Will we need to dismantle the Rig (53 tonnes, in it's complete state), down into sections, to travel the 20 odd kilometres or so, from Tai-3 to Itumbula 1 or 2, considering that only approx. 14km of that would be on roads not built by us to access the sites, and local rather than national highways?

Dry conditions

No Bridges

Packed dirt so no Blacktop Tarmac to damage

Ask permission from the Ministry of Transport

Brown envelope - look the other way scenario

If this was the case, the Rig carrier will be at Itumbula RIGHT NOW!

Puts a whole different slant on the move, and would certainly sit nicely with Lorna statement!

No different to moving wind turbine blades to site on rural roads and site tracks in this country!

I, personally, think its a possibility!

Skittish, can you confirm the distances on the main road, excluding the two access roads we have built?

If an Institutional Investor or indeed a potential partner like Linde or Air Liquide is the one buying these 1m+ tranches of shares just now, at basement bargain price, how long before they have to disclose a significant holding? 3% is it ?

In theory they could buy a big whack of the company for not a lot of money?

Interested to know the specifics of all of this!

Skittish

If only that was an option! I’ll email Nick Ewles at the Finance Brokers and tell him to get it organised. 😉

Chesh

A daily update from our BOD via Twitter would help recover this drop for sure!

Cmon guys, you used to do a monthly newsletter in the good old heady days around Tai 1, stopped it in November 2021, and look what’s happened since!

Running commentary needed now!

Gla

I can't disagree with that Joe!

Thanks Skittish

Keep it coming.

The best investment the company could make in the next 8 weeks is to take you out there as our International Correspondent, and get their PR knocked into shape! lol

We urgently need to improve comms to Shareholders to build back some sentiment.

Announce where we are buying the Iron Roughneck from, when it can be shipped, and by priority Air Freight to Tanzania.

Where we have purchased Hydraulic Parts and Spares for and detailed timescales for delivery.

A running commentary on the Civils Work to form the revised Pad at Itumbula, and also the Rig-down and Transport process between the 2 Sites.

Disclose who the "Red Adair" of the Hydraulics World is and when he will be on site.

Confirm if the repairs and IRN fitting will be done on the ground, as it were, or if it can be done after Rig-up!

We need 100% positivity to the small PI's.

Hope you see this BOD

Thought you said you were gone 👋

Not a Geo, but from the diagrams in the Presentation, they showed entering the Top Basement at 760 -810 MD, passing through the Top Karoo Shale at 440 MD and Sands at 500 MD

After reading the RNS'd Prospect details below:-

Itumbula prospect

The Company is also in the process of reviewing the geology of the Itumbula prospect, in light of information gleaned from Tai-3. The Itumbula prospect is bound by one of the largest faults in the basin, and this is associated with a prolific surface helium seep which has measured up to 10.4% helium. The results from the Tai-1 and Tai-3 wells seem to indicate that it is the faults and Basement fractures that are releasing the highest concentrations of helium and, therefore, the Company now intends to target the western bounding fault of the Itumbula prospect during the second phase of this drilling campaign.

The Company is still finalising the details of the repair work that is required for the rig and will provide updates as soon as that information is available; as well as plans for the revised well location once concluded.

This would lead me to think that they are going for the apex of the Top Basement, to the south-west, which on the diagram shown relates to approx. 550 MD, but would miss the Karoo Shales and Sands.

Shallower, quicker Drill, to get Basement Gas results ASAP

Alternatively, they may go somewhere in between, and still catch the edge of the Karoo as well.

All just my interpretation of the diagrams for Itumbula in the latest Presentation.

Perhaps someone could put the two diagrams up on here?

Stranger things have happened!

Joe thanks for the reply

So many posts firing in I missed it.

That's what I was thinking!
