As one senior Central Asian diplomat put it privately: “We don’t expect miracles. But we do expect the US to stay interested this time.”

For Trump, the gathering offers more than geopolitics. It lands just as his administration seeks to tout a more business-oriented foreign policy.

The White House has hinted at a package of investment incentives for US companies in mining, logistics, and energy.

WASHINGTON DC – When President Donald Trump welcomes the five leaders of Central Asia to the White House this Thursday, it will mark a rare moment of diplomatic choreography aimed squarely at reshaping the balance of power across Eurasia.

The summit – bringing together Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, TAJIKISTAN, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan – comes as Washington’s renewed foreign policy calculus centres on supply chain security, critical minerals, and new transport corridors designed to bypass both Russia and China.

According to senior US officials, the administration hopes to diversify access to energy and minerals, reduce chokepoint risks along Eurasian transit routes, and expand US commercial presence in the region.

Which is all correct Casper, Hussar-2 Just an extension of Hussar-1 Discovery well, if still intact, fingers crossed it is and the drill remains cheap as chips. GLA

TAGS tender for the 120,000 carats as in the recent RNA update over GNW/rns news wire.

17th-21st November Dubai ..............

Based on JA's comments in the RNA update over the rns news wire, it's just pending , the ailing President being able to hold a pen and catch up on all the paperwork, not just TRP's, said he's been informed, verbal approval already given, just needs OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION.

So it will happen like all things JA , EVENTUALLY............the local Bank funding he RNA'd as, if not today in the next few days, 3 years ago, also EVENTUALLY turned up this year. 😉😂😂

If they are indeed a STRATEGIC INVESTOR, not another wonga, if they accumulate shares under the debt facility, they will most certainly need to TR1 if not done at raised pricing levels, which is the plan with tranches at a 50% VWAP Premium, current MC £6M , £1M debt fac (at premiums) , plus any they may currently hold in the background already , plus ? how much they hold of the £200k for the journey and not just the next spike (wonga style)

The drill if Hussar-1 discovery well is already drilled 2040m leaving the H2 extension a mere 1160m to drill through the salt not concrete layer to the target reservoirs below, its a cheap and cheerful re-entry, only a low millions, should be required, GEX has offers for advanced money on offtake agreements x2

A new JV could appear now the drill is a go , preps in progress , up to 50 days then ready to DRILL baby DRILL, if so another potential alternate source of funding for a % at asset level, which usually also brings forth some back costs payment.

It's not a NEW onshore $7-$10m or offshore $20-$40m drill, its all in the RNA's still sitting on the rns news wire and website...........GLA

The Company will initially draw down £300,000 (the "First Drawdown")

The First Drawdown will be convertible at 8 pence per share

each drawdown thereafter at a 50% premium to the 5-day VWAP

Debt Facility

The Company has also entered a debt facility with the same Institutional Investor of up to £1,000,000. The Company will initially draw down £300,000 (the "First Drawdown") with any further amounts to be agreed between the Company and the Institutional Investor.

The Facility has a term of 3 years, and each drawdown of the debt has a term of 12 months. The First Drawdown will be convertible at 8 pence per share ("Reference Price") and each drawdown thereafter at a 50% premium to the 5-day VWAP preceding the drawdown. There is no interest to be applied to the loan.

Geared to raise higher........not lower

Tajikistan has announced the discovery of 15 new, major deposits of rare earth elements (REEs) and other critical minerals.

These discoveries were announced by Mukhtar Fazilzoda, the head of Tajikistan's state geological service, in late 2024 and mid-2025. The identified resources include:

Niobium and Tantalum: Significant reserves have been found, particularly in the Rasht Valley.

Lithium: The new deposits show early-stage signs and significant potential for lithium, a key component in batteries for electric vehicles and electronics.

Other elements: Tin, rubidium, beryllium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, and yttrium have also been identified across various locations.

These discoveries are considered very promising for Tajikistan's economic development and global positioning in the critical minerals market.

AP has spent his career ,falling into a barrel of t it's and coming out sucking his thumb. Can he exit this event with the Taj (mou) team with something.

If only Carlsberg did Vast RNA updates

Under the Taj/Vast MOU, we have secured 2 new REE assets, with a side order of USA Fast track funding.................. 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

The October USA Congressional team visit to Central Asian Countries, they had meetings on critical minerals and Energy and HOW they could speed up the process of getting things to the US Market, so it all seems in hand, they want it and are prepared to put in the big bucks required to make it happen...GLA

USA and Central Asia trade route plans

Strategic Goals:

Diversify trade routes: Create alternatives to Russia-dominated land routes and maritime choke points, which can be vulnerable to interdiction or disruption.

Economic development: Promote regional economic connectivity and growth by improving infrastructure like railways and ports.

Resource access: Secure access to Central Asia's critical minerals, such as rare earths, lithium, and copper, to reduce dependence on China.

Geopolitical influence: Counter the influence of other major powers, like Russia and China, in the region.

Key Corridors:

Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian Corridor or TCC): A multimodal route stretching from China through Central Asia, across the Caspian Sea, through the Caucasus, and into Turkey and Europe.

Lapis Lazuli Corridor: A western-backed project that links Afghanistan with Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, with a focus on railway development.

International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC): While not the sole focus of US-Central Asia plans, it is a major alternative route the US sees Central Asia as a part of.

US Support and Initiatives:

Financial investment: The US provides funding through international financial institutions like the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

Infrastructure development: Supporting projects that modernize and connect infrastructure, such as railways and ports, to make the routes more efficient and reliable.

Diplomatic engagement: Working with Central Asian governments through diplomatic channels like the C5+1 summit to foster cooperation on trade and investment.

Policy changes: Support for repealing outdated trade restrictions, such as the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, to facilitate more robust trade relations.

Challenges and Future Outlook

Infrastructure gaps: The TCC still has significant infrastructure and capacity constraints.

Logistical hurdles: The multimodal nature of the routes requires transfers that add complexity, time, and cost.

Political factors: Challenges remain in coordinating policy and implementation among the multiple countries involved.

Growing competition: The US is not the only major power interested in these routes; China's Belt and Road Initiative is a major competing effort to develop similar corridors.

Site visit report earlier this year (see RNA on rns) stated up to 50 days to get site ready, firmly brings in late Dec/January for re-entry of H1 2040m already, to drill H2 3200m into and below the salt.

Awaiting permits, has delayed 1 year, so old plan , to new plan, not a lot of timeline date changes, just the year 😉😅

We are delighted to welcome an Institutional Investor on the Company's share register, who is willing to pay a 50% premium to VWAP on future drawdowns.

Is the potentially serious UPSIDE, to this mornings RNA update on rns....GLALTH

Agree ABOMB, potentially its a great deal, first tranche 8p and then each following draw down at a 50% PREMIUM to VWAP

08p drawdown, reach that price and 2nd drawdown 12p, reach it and 3rd drawdown 18p etc

But could also be far higher on news flow, share booms to 20p, stays there for a few days and drawdown becomes 30p

All great in theory, lets see how it pans out in practice, as the warrants to follow , also labelled at a starting point of 8p, which could also be a dirty steal of a deal for the Investors, down the line share price rocketed and can get them for 8p.

It happens a director of a now FTSE company , cashed in a few of his options, a mere £2m bonus to himself, on looking at the website, he had so many , self feathering on company start up, all of his remaining options, would never, ever be excised, without killing the company. As it stood his remaining options worth around 250 times the company's value.

So extreme self rewards and to company clingon's do happen, when a company progresses beyond expectations. GLA

Boil now Sunda Energy, tried to RTO early 2020 but could not raise the finance , so took a first % and then further chunks over the next 3 years until 100% owning Sundagas which hold the license, Sunda owning SG. SG no money, so Boil paid for all the work programs.

CDF Sunda did not pay as such for Chuditch, it was awarded NON TENDER (services rendered) to Sundergas (AB's company on the Singapore exchange NEW ) He and his team had been on the Island since 2016, helping build the local industry and still assist to this day. Nov 2019 Chuditch showcased (not G.S) as they launched their ownfirst bid round (2 1/2 year disaster 9 bids on only 7 of 17 huge licenses)

Same reason that it has been the case since 2002 when Horta and Gusmao pulled the plug on the majors and tier 1 players that then left behind some monsters, not just Chuditch (Kelp exxonmobil drilled estimated 10.5 - 14.5 TCF Bigger than Sunrise/Chuditch together) . With the all will come to the Island and our own facilities, with a TL Workforce. 23 years later still no home to go to, just the old small Oil refinery at Betano.

Each year, TL appear to be getting closer and closer, to International assistance, they can't afford to build themselves. So you can see why investors would be shy of funding a drill, that like Shell , Conoco Phillips, Mobil and others, has no route to market, until someone does commit to building and operating onshore TL Natarbora new oil refinery and petrochemical plant, New multi string Gas/LNG export refinery, New single string Gas/LNG Import terminal (for domestic use ) have thought Chuditch's natural initial home for years as successive PM's have talked about it at Beaco, then Metinaro, now Natarbora for years being WHEN GAS BECOMES AVAILABLE and original plan to be operational years before Greater Sunrise/Beaco/Natarbora)

It's as close as its ever been, to finally being built, which will bring back the upper tier players that departed frustrated by H&T in 2002 and again 2008

(Darwin/FLNG) Chuditch clearly after never rating a mention for 20 years (all talk about Sunrise only) Chuditch is now a part of that first stage operational plan Chud-Bayu-Natarbora

Just need one little spark (build/money) and all hell will break out, back in the 70's an Australian Minister stood before the house and declared the Timor Sea as a new middle East, the 50 years since have proven to be very lucrative for the Indonesian and Australian Timor Sea waters, while the Timor Leste waters stalled and died a death, despite 4 known huge gas/condensate discoveries.

They know what awaits , especially in the wider Area R and Area P(Long thought to hold the kitchen that feeds both Sunrise and Chuditch)

The day will come, said 5 years ago this will take some time, while they sort the politics and finance, even I think it's now so close, you can

almost smell the gas..........GLALTH.

This mornings RNA (Words/Doc) over the exchange news service, yes brings dilution but a non revenue company always does, until the asset flows.

What we can now hope for, is the STRATEGIC INVESTOR, is indeed an SI and sticks around to support the company's GROWTH as well as financially supporting the operational requirements, TR1's should tell the story. No TR1's and they are same old same old , quick bucks and gone, stalled sp on

an ever increasing MC.

Real SI's bring stability over volatility, with a growing sp AND MC
