I haven't listened to the podcast but did they mention the gold?

I mentioned sanctions the other day, Russia exports 198m tonnes of coal and to remove most of that will have a affect on the value, China is their biggest customer but I can't see them applying sanctions on Russia, the others are Japan, South Korea and the EU countries.

Will be interesting to see what sanctions are applied mow, could cause a massive shake up.
Russia has embarrassed Western leaders and they need to respond.

Russia exports 198 million tonnes of coking coal, a large portion goes to China but the rest may be the target of sanctions which are now likely.
It would be a great shame if customers were forced elsewhere.

Where did you hear it took 7 months?

I agree, they will be producing a commodity which is in short supply globally, it's not going to be ignored.
The Chinese wanted it on the cheap, the company made the right decision in my view, if the Chinese don't come back someone definitely.
I'm not watching the gold at the moment, the coal is near term.
The future is bright

Whilst everyone seems to be upset over I have no idea what, it's important to remember any mining company going into production is a massive milestone. The work that goes into reaching that point is long and complicated and many fail, that's why I'm upbeat and probably why people are buying at this level, make the most of this opportunity whilst it's here.
Ignore the nonsense talk on social media & concentrate on the facts from the rest releases.

I've sold any, I've added because nothing has changed.

There maybe something fishy about you.

Usual panic from the traders failing to understand the news, seen it many times before.

I did mention a few weeks ago that whilst the Mcap is this low it's a sitting duck for a hostile take over.

Lots of talk but nobody mentioning potential of a takeover,it's a sitting duck at 25m mcap.

It looks like 7.5 has triggered some sell orders.

Just bought another 50,000 shares, will be interesting to see if it shows as a buy or sell.

Those two big trades went though at the same time as the RNS and the price drop.

Interesting timing.

Nice to see my buy going through on here as a sell and no buys being shown.

Not unusual for these sites but for those who think the red and blue are crucial, that data is usually wrong.

That's true but dates are pre Robert Mugabe (2017), since then the economy is improving and the country appears to be run much better than he did.

For clarity it's only rated as moderate.

No it isn't and it the RNS doesn't suggest that it is.

Tropic Biosciences carries out research on many other foods besides potatoes.

I don't think we should be to fixated with the daily price changes of Chinese coking coal, as it will be only one element in the overall calculation of any deal made, there will be many other factor involved.

The cocoa plant and industry will die out irrespective of Anics involvement, the product is important so we need to be ready for when it dies of natural causes, there is no other option in this case.
Similar situation with the commercially farmed banana plant which produces most bananas in the world, the plant Musa Cavendish also suffers from disease but unlike cocoa there is another option, the likely replacement plant is Musa Ensete. The ensete plant is the only banana plant to grow in Africa, is disease resistant and will in time replace the Cavendish, which is a better outcome than the terminal cocoa.

One of the reason this is a good investment is because the cocoa plant is very susceptible to disease, the loss currently is a around 30% per year to diseases and that number is increasing, so it's an important crop but a new way to produce it is needed.
