"Scientists Want To Use People As Human Antennas For 6G Technology
You won't need a tin foil hat, but a copper bracelet will help."

I was not aware of the growing renewable diesel industry... more demand for soybean = more market for PHC to address. And, more intensive soybean production just helps rust spread:

From today's Supply Lines email from Bloomberg:

"Supply-chain pain caused by the UK’s split from the European Union still lingers for British manufacturers and retailers trying trade with the rest of Europe and beyond.

According to data from FourKites, over-the-road shipments crossing the Schengen border — which encompasses most of the EU — were delayed 38% of the time in the fourth quarter of last year. Trade within or outside the area, meanwhile, was delayed just 21% of the time.

Average transit speeds — the velocity from pickup to delivery, including dwell time and driver breaks — showed similar friction, according to FourKites, a logistics visibility platform. Shipments crossing the Schengen boundary averaged 3.9 miles per hour in the fourth quarter, compared with 4.9 mph for goods that didn’t cross the boundary."

More proof of the economic 'brilliance' of Brexit.

Maybe "Cathy and Stella would have to be confident" to buy some shares in the business they have joined?

Good news - "Exclusivity for Block 1, Sèmè Field in Benin"

3 moths to negotiate a sharing agreement; historic production at $10 a barrel and 'Last produced at a rate of approximately 2,000 barrels of oil per day in 1998... Average historical well production rates ranging between 1,500 - 3,000 barrels of oil per day."

Could be worse...

All that geo-thermal that UKOG has to sell must be worth a small fortune [very small, unfortunately].

GCAT lost financing

The share has been over ramped - the drop could be harsh.

Looks like another fund raise this year...

"1p soon ,,, feb 14th.." was the last post with a Strong Buy recommendation just yesterday.

Did not age well.

oops

Well done Brexiteers?

This came across my Twitter feed this evening:

"China targets rare earth export curbs to hobble US defence industry"

It is from 2021 but if anything tensions between China and the US have increased since then.

stevebru,

"Perhaps Suzie needs to arrange a meeting with Pyc to get some hints on how to sell products!!!"

To give Dr Dilly credit, she is looking for a lot more for shareholders than a £150k grant 2 years ago.

BUPA does not pay dividends, unlike the for profit US firms Sunak was meeting. Never let facts get in the way...

3 accounts in 1 day... at least they make you go through the effort of opening new email accounts.

Bit sad though... as Troajan posted last wee; get another dog and go and talk nonsense with the drunks in the pub. Just pick one that plays GB News.

Not so grim up Norf after all.

Or GB news...

I have some EST shares; Troajan likes them for the forthcoming gold drilling results; I like them because they seem to have an exploitable heavy rare earth ionic clay deposit that might be rapidly exploitable. There is a Bloomberg headline article about rare earths today [specifically Dysprosium] that highlights the importance of non-Chinese deposits. The article includes this paragraph worth noting:

"That rang alarm bells in Western capitals. Rare earths are used in everything from fiber optics and lasers to medical scanners and the hard discs in our computers — they’re the building blocks of the modern world. They’re also inside state-of-the-art weapons systems, and thus a prerequisite to military prowess. Each American F-35 fighter plane, for example, contains about 920 pounds of rare earths."

As Kazakhstan starts looking outwards, away from Ruzzia [and Chinese] influence, EST could be sitting on a valuable deposit. Any rare earth deposit is worth consideration.
