Kazakhstan- a young and predominately Muslim population. Putin may find that he regrets getting involved. The border with Russia is nearly 5000 miles, so the Russians have no chance of keeping out "terrorists" / freedom fighters. 5000 miles is about as fas as the drive from London to Kabul.

Adrian,

Accounts that get deleted after a couple of days bring even less, as the posts disappear with the account. I suppose there is a benefit as nobody can copy and paste them in the future in an attempt to belittle you,

'I've been ling since August'

Sounds a bit fishy? A Common Ling?

'Rare Earths: Fighting for the Fuel of the Future' - when The Diplomat starts worrying, you know it is a potential pinch point:

kenny,

I was not recommending the company; I was recommending the Investor Meet platform. If anyone has not used the platform [free] they might not be aware that companies put up material for their presentations that people can download. Whilst the info should be in the public domain, it can be a useful reminder or provide an angle at looking at an issue that had not been thought of before.

We need all the info we can find when assessing where we put our money, especially with shares that have high spreads and volatility.

Troajan et al,

Do you watch any of the Investor Meet presentations? They often have presentation material that can be downloaded that is not readily available to investors elsewhere. There is one for KEFI Monday morning and as a Gold / Copper company probably interests some here.

'The US exports too much of its most valuable resource'

https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/12/23/1041328/export-droughts-water-food-clothing/

I have read about this before - the US is / was exporting silage to China and elsewhere as the shipping was so cheap [all those empty containers going back to China to be filled up with cheap consumer goods. And draining their aquifers to water the fields to grow the grass to export whilst cities come under pressure for water for human... the height of stupidity.

At a minimum they should be raising the cattle themselves and then selling the meat as the dung would help keep the soil healthy instead of them just feeding the soil with junk NPK.

I have not come across this website before:

Inch a minute - 1440 inches a day - 36.57 metres a day. There are 1609 meters in a mile so to drill a mile would take 44 days so over 2 miles in 3 months. And if you were using 2 machines from both end, it would be 4 miles in 3 months.

'San Francisco startup Petra says its new contactless thermal drilling robot can make steady progress through the hardest rock on Earth – stuff that would normally destroy drilling equipment – so quickly and cheaply that it could make a lot of underground infrastructure projects economically feasible.

The semi-autonomous "Swifty" robotic system can create 18-60 inch (46-152 cm) diameter tunnels through any geology, blasting the rock with an extremely hot, high-pressure spallation head such that it glows, chars and flings away.'

Being marketed to Utility companies for burying infrastructure; I can see some miners being interested...

He is not a member of the House of Lords

Only £30 to become a Lord there - far cheaper than the amount you have to donate to the CONservatives

Are you not supposed to add a trigger warning in case you upset sector with a comment like that?

Potential windfall taxes - hardly good when you are considering selling a gas asset?

'Ministers considering windfall tax on firms profiting from gas price rises'

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/sep/22/windfall-tax-on-firms-profiting-from-gas-price-rises-an-option-says-minister

But kind of ocelot to point out that populist governments may need to take steps unpopular with business to remain popular with the electorate. Respect where it is due.

It is unusual for ocelot to point out bad news for UKOG so fair play to him / respect where it is due.

Populist countries across Europe are tying themselves to taming the energy price crisis; windfall taxes are expected on domestic producers. Unfortunately windfall taxes are not conducive to a free investment climate and the possibility of such taxes get worked into the cost of capital which will impact on any raises that UKOG would need to undertake to pursue domestic gas.

In the 2nd world war they inspected planes that returned from combat for bullet holes and then reinforced where they had not been hit on the presumption that those hit in those undamaged areas will be the ones that did not make it home.
