That's the thing, the demand is most definitely there amongst all the Southern African Power Pool nations. They can buy whatever we can produce. People say well why doesn't TG just sell to those then and not worry about the BG but for starters TG wouldn't have known that the tender would have to be resubmitted causing a long delay and the wider point is that you're operating in Botswana so you have to keep the BG onside when you're gonna need environmental permissions, mining permissions, government approvals and such like going forward. Once we have a PPA with the BG and are hooked upto the grid via Serowe then we can really start to exploit the huge reserves we have. You don't build a billion dollar company in a pioneering industry in a developing country overnight! It's takes time but we're getting close now to the tipping point where profits are roughly just one year away now. Once we get off the mark I'm sure TG will want to leverage our first mover advantage rapidly! Accumulate while the price is ridiculously cheap is my strategy because once we get commercial gas flow confirmation, PPA and development funding we will not be at 4p that's for sure!!! PADYOR.
