Member Info for Laverda

I think they finished the presentation framework and decided those pictures were surplus to requirements.

Which bodes well for the presentation..

Even the presentation pictures next week will be out of date.

So they decided not to save it for the presentation.

Something else to share after the AGM?

Elcobble, I also think because we won't be exporting until December/January they would not put us top of the list if there are other more urgent papers.

They could leave us until November and the only impact would be investors panicking.

Onlyking regarding your licence post that is how I understood it before.

I also thought we could not mine until the government papers were complete and they had their stake. However as we all heard Bernard said that he thought they could mine and could export with that legal arrangement they created.

So I think it is a question for the Q&A. Possibly the government papers for their stake are complete and covered in that arrangement?

Careful questions required in the Q&A.

Onlyking, likewise, if it was in a thread I would assume you are replying to me when you put my name at the start.

Anything you disagree with call out at the time - will answer if I can and provide a link.

Rather than making a random comment.

Onlyking you are not reading enough otherwise you would know.

The EU spends billions in Africa in a failed attempt to reduce migrant crossings.

Burkina Faso borders on Mali so careful checks are made on these border checks, there have been problems before. Boko Haram runs fund raising exploits through all neighbouring countries including Niger and Mali.

Try reading up instead of throwing abuse.

I said nothing about our lorries still being there or anything about licence hold ups.

BFD borders can be slow, especially if they have been paid by the EU to look for migrants and there is a concern over arms etc into Burkina Faso or Nigeria Boko Haram.

I think the Ivory Coast are quite efficient and this is a major route.

We will see next week.

Looking forward to the update, Steve covers the plant detail perfectly so we will know exactly where we are.

AGM next week unlikely they will send anything before then otherwise they will not have anything new in their following presentation.

Comeonbernie - lol, who would have thought. That was a lot of soldiers taken out in one go.

Probably old tech they thought they would never get to use again.

Very James Bond.

As I have said before I think everyone involved in lithium at every stage is trying to keep lithium mania under control.

When lithium prices were high remember all the insanity from various countries, countries which should have known better.

Gold is at an all time high but no single type of business can bank roll an entire economy. Loads of countries Mexico and Chile probably most prominent completely lost their minds.

Many others were not far behind.

I think in our case there will be a controlled release of information and a controlled way of working so as not to create a mandatory RNS situation.

Without the licence transferred, why would you rush to communicate major increase in asset value?

If I was managing it, I would just keep drilling no conclusion until the licence transfers.

Also Daz, I don't think if we were moved onto the new code it would affect us much.

From memory they could purchase more of the mine if they wished and instead of us helping the community directly as we are now, we would pay 5% to local government and they do it directly.

Likely a bit more paperwork too.

The reason it was such a big error/deal for Leo was they got nearly 50 million dollars of sweeteners that they had to give back.

The issue for gold mines who circumvented paying tax by moving ore to other gold mines processing plant and may have that tax to pay - again not something that impacts us.

They will likely save a good update until the AGM.

But we have a while to go until the end of the year.

We really could do with an end to the Ukraine issue and some sort of agreement in the Middle East.

Nice vehicle that one, Volvo have nailed it at the moment, producing something slightly different with the Volvo stamp all over it.

Kamikaiza - have a drive of a Hyundai EV6.

Superb car now.

Big price tag though, but it is a top end car really they should have done what Toyota did creating the Lexus brand, VW the Porsche brand etc.

But they didn't - so it is an amazing car on an ordinary badge.

Matt, can you get a satellite image of the Hainan processing plant?

They may require Police escort. Difficult to tell without seeing each truck, trailer, number of axles on the trailer, width of load and weights on each lorry. Plus HGV details of roads, weight limits, height limits etc.

Specialist job moving big bulky stuff.

Merc tough titty then. Lol.

Asllan you think they read Mali news and thought 11 lorries were nicked?

Elcobble yes the importance of OPEX AISC cannot be overstated as well as the thorough testing done by Bernard and the team.

The difference between OPEX and OPEX AISC can be massive.

Here is quite a good piece, even though it is gold on the subject

Lol George exactly my thoughts of now until the end of the year.

Just waiting for them to arrive. 🚀
