No probs Taffy. Man, I thought with the severity of the wording there the sanctions were gonna be "Off with their heads!" or summat. $1000 is probably just their monthly wine bill. :-)

Thanks, that's good to know. Hopefully cobalt will still be required by the EV industry for a long time to come.

I noticed this "although cobalt is present in economic quantities in only some deposits on the western side of the district" from Rocktapper's link. Is the Cheyeza area in the western side of Zambia's copper zone?

No doubt there will be a ramper along shortly to pump it up for his 10% sell target.

Yes, and miss out on tens or possibly hundreds of millions of barrels in the HH Kimmeridge attributable to Alba. Who was the guy who turned down the Beatles?

Ah yes, "General working capital" that's the fig leaf category no doubt most of those funds ended up in.

What do you make of the £1m that was raised in Nov 2017 via Primary Bid that was earmarked for developing Zulu mine but no more drilling was ever done? Where did that money go and why was it raised in Nov, with 4+ months of the rainy season still to wait out? Had that money been used for drilling Zulu, and the results good, we wouldn't have been slowly strangled over this last 18 months. Either GR is incompetent and doesn't know what he's doing or he's streets ahead of us and playing us for morons.

Yes LordLash, that sounds far more serious than trying to say we naughtily began instigating the California trial while the Caymans case was still ongoing. I hope the judge's moral compass is nicely calibrated for the remainder of the case.

I just noticed the table of (civil rights) case results on the Discovery Wiki page. Around 70% of cases are dismissed, the other cases went to judgement with only 3% being decided by jury (if I'm reading it right) So it's statistically far more likely things will be settled before a full jury trial is concluded.

That crossed my mind too! :-o

Definition of legal Discovery (from Wiki)

"Discovery, in the law of common law jurisdictions, is a pre-trial procedure in a lawsuit in which each party, through the law of civil procedure, can obtain evidence from the other party or parties by means of discovery devices such as interrogatories, requests for production of documents, requests for admissions and depositions.[2] Discovery can be obtained from non-parties using subpoenas. When a discovery request is objected to, the requesting party may seek the assistance of the court by filing a motion to compel discovery." There is further info on Wiki pertaining to electronic discovery procedures.

It does strike me that FRR have been on the back foot from the start due to poor judicial decisions. (Bit like Spurs' losing a questionable first minute penalty decision in the Champions League final and having to chase the game thereafter) Perhaps if the judge accepts our latest counter-arguments we will finally begin to compete on a level playing field?

Yes, the middle of the three 9:26 posts, about a third of the way down.

Brilliant stuff Taffy, where would we be without you?

I noticed this in the second of your three 9:26 posts - "Some of these issues were, admittedly, raised in the prior action based on the facts as they were known to Plaintiffs at that time, and some facts and allegations are not yet able to be proven, since discovery has not commenced. " Not sure what make of that last bit? Are we perhaps hoping to unearth some shenannigans later on, through cross examination of Hope and his cronies?

A 7,500 mtrs drill programme is just starting. I did wonder how deep they will be drilling each hole. I thought 150 mtrs may suffice until I saw Sentinel mine is 375 mtrs (1230ft!) deep. Wouldn't another one of those at Cheyeza be luvverly?

So a sale of Circum shares might take us to .20p? Its a pity George has painted us into a corner since my back of fag packet calculations last year suggested our 5% stake could be worth 2p-3p in a few years once Circum are up and running. Would the cash end up funding Zulu anyway or would we be selling the seed corn just to continue keeping George in the manner to which he has happily become accustomed?

ARCM shares are near multi year lows at the moment but that could change in a few months if first drill results from some promising geophys targets return good grades.

I think my final negative prediction was Don Bailey shuffling off this mortal coil as he's 80 something (sorry Don!) though I doubt it would have too much effect on the company, the metals' grades and quantities will do all the talking. I didn't forsee the govt getting shirty about tax receipts though.

Maybe going back to the earlier plan of floating Zulu as a separate company in order to raise cash to drill it still has some merit? Just sitting and waiting for RHA or Circum to land has got us nowhere in the last 18 months...

Posted earlier by scallywag3. Lots of pertinent data redacted but the gist of the info points to the Kimm levels being promising but possibly difficult to unlock. I can see why they are taking their time and consulting partners before making their next moves in the well. Hybrid reservoirs are relatively new territory particularly for a microcap oilie with few backroom resources, to deal with. IMO, all Weald players ought to be data sharing for the common good of delivering what may turn out to be an important asset to the country.

I remember getting slated as the prophet of doom a year back for daring to raise concerns about further ebola outbreaks around the Akyanga area. I wish I had been wrong on that one...:-(
