Mining, South Africa’s largest industry, has been severely disrupted. Pits across the country churn up gold, gemstones, rare earth metals and coal, and the country is home to about 90 per cent of known deposits of platinum, vital for electronics and electric vehicles. One morning in March, a platinum operator discovered 300 metres of copper cabling had been stolen from a production site. Workers at Royal Bafokeng Platinum laid new cables the following day, but the thieves were back by nightfall. “To be investable as a country, you should be able as a country to protect investments,” the company’s chief executive Steve Phiri said during a mining conference in Johannesburg that month. “Things are beginning to fall apart.”

TIME - I have held them for a while; good to see the recovery.

'ukraine needs more than a $30 billion ****nal to strike back... armed with well over $30 billion in weapons freshly supplied by its allies, ukraine is gearing up for a counteroffensive that may push russia closer to ending its war, or show neither side has enough firepower to seize the advantage.'

Troajan et al,

A good day to start launching a ramp... Not one chat topic has made over 100 posts today; the masses need something to amuse themselves with... A flurry of posts and some buying on a neglected blue-sky share could generate some profit if you get out before the BOD of that company see the rise and do a placing.

It has taken a while for an uplift but the sp is slowly getting there - Google Finance showing this news item from yesterday; maybe it sparked more interest?

Announcing Helion’s fusion power purchase agreement with Microsoft

'As the plasma expands, it pushes back on the magnetic field. By Faraday's law, the change in field induces current, which is directly recaptured as electricity. This clean fusion electricity is used to power homes and communities, efficiently and affordably.'

No steam - quite something if they pull it off. They hope to be generating power in 2028.

Someone made a calculated decision to switch off links... will losing some users be more than compensated by people spending more time on the site? It is all about the advertising eyeballs.

So when do they decide that fake user agents and ad blocking software cannot be allowed?

'Can’t open any of these'

Since the site 'upgrade' links no longer display as links... You will have to 'copy and paste' if you want to open them.

A few articles about sodium batteries have been about recently; mainly as stationery storage but also as EV batteries for vehicles with low mileage requirement.

Any success would be a body blow to the lithium industry.

How do you deal with people who are pretending to be positive despite having lost there whole wardrobe investing in UKOG?

"£843,855 extra cash for general working capital"

You do realise that if the company were to issue shares at nominal value [which is what your post indicates] then the share price will have fallen to 0.01p? That would be another 85% loss from today's midpoint.

Is the new ramper becoming jaded and expecting the worst?

[Kazakhstan is bigger than Europe!; Kazakhstan now qualifies for European critical mineral funding (1 min 30 seconds in); at 10m30sec the rare earth project is discussed... one month until 'liberation' results are known; will this turn out to be a strategic resource? Potentially a 9 figure valuation of the resource in the ground!]

NATC sounds very much like N A Z I - why would the CONservatives pick a name like that for a CONference?

Mannnan,

No - I mean British oil for King and country; local oil is better for the economy and the environment if it can be economically extracted. I am waiting for:

Maybe there will even be 🎆

Evi,

I expect that emojis are going to get 👎🏿 from Admin. But I expect a dead 🐈‍⬛ might bounce which will attract rampers like 🪰s to 💩 before they see their 💰 get flushed down the 🚽
