Member Info for PAUL1DEANO

I've been down and I'm wondering why,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFGtRKx4ypY

I agree approval should be given, but who knows in a Greta carbon free world.

A good post willow man, I am just searching around for other peoples interpretations of financing, funding and money in hand, you have filled in the information.

My obsession is in trying to understand the position of the people protesting the application.

Although I suspect they are not in a position to do anything about if the moratorium is lifted and the protest bill is enacted.

As I keep stating the decision will end up in the hands of the secretary of state.

We may get the decision and if not this keeps bubbling away until the above scenario is enacted, oh and we get the next general election out of the way in May 24.

The only way this application will get passed without a great number of opposition is if it included an agreement that they will never frack it and it does not.

It is just the threat that it may later down the line.

The application will be rejected and it will at some point end up in the hands of secretary of state.

They may pass it but then we need the fracking moratorium addressed.

The swampy will protest, but hey hang on they cannot protest anymore, the new Bill.

Will the tories take the political risk of pushing on, this could rumble on to the next general election and would seemingly get passed when we are paying £5000 a year just to boil a kettle or boil an egg.

To be fair I think this Russian invasion into Ukraine and the sanctions have created waves, who would invest in Kazakhstan right now?

The trouble in Kazakhstan before Xmas may have been some created precursor to the Ukraine invasion, was it's intentions to divert Russian troops away to buy time for the Obama/Clinton/Biden cabal, who seem overly active in Ukraine, to do whatever it was they needed to do? Also what with Turkey being so geopolitically close to Russia and Ukraine and Turkey not sanctioning Russia, when will that arrangement end. We also have Kosovo under the Russian sphere of influence. Wheels within wheels, invest in Kazakhstan and you are considered an ally of Moscow?

Why have Ariana paid a dividend when Tavsan needs funding to how much? Turkish banks are they in the mood for loans if finance needs raising? Why lend in US dollars the petro dollar is collapsing in front of our eyes!

Does Erdogan want the dollar to collapse, of course he does as a lot of his country's debt is in Dollars. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't a lot of Chinese debt for all the rapid construction over the last decade or two in US dollars.What motivation is there for Turkey and China to want the US dollar to remain strong.

I am starting to think, and I say this through gritted teeth, should Ariana convert into Euro’s (yuk sick in my mouth)

A whole new rethink in strategy is required.

As a shareholder my thoughts are stop messing around exploring in geopolitically unstable regions like Kosovo and Kazakhstan, there is no overnight fix for the Russian invasion. This will go on for years maybe a decade or more.

There are currency wars going on if anyone has read any Jim Rickard's books and Turkey wants to be cashless by 2023 their 100 year republic celebration.

We really need news on Tavsan are we going to get involved with Turkish Fintech to finance this. Is there any future in Ariana getting Turkish Fintech financing to explore and find gold and other metals within it's borders. After all Fintech is just a financial illusion and what every country really desires is shiny yellow stuff along with other metals.

Now Ariana being a Turkish financed Fintech exploration company excites me - what about you?

Cyprus and Copper just what is going on there, we need an announcement. This SP is in danger of being sucked down sub 3p!

I am invested in POW and ECR also THR which is Copper play, like Sloppy Joe sold out and made money in Barrick. There are other companies spinning the drills in the ground, Ariana has seemingly gone full circle into being a Black & Decker raise and drill. Troilus gold has been fun for me, the fun and anticipation in Ariana is waining, am I falling out of love?

Can’t the decision eventually end up in the hands of the Secretary of State?

‘ The fact is, if the fracking ban is lifted WN will definitely be fracked.....but will the ban be lifted?’

Can they get the oil and gas without fracking?

Or is it a case fracking will just make the job easier?

To be fair I think Kerim wanted a break for a bit and there was a window of opportunity and also there has been COVID to contend with.

COVID has not had any effect on us nor as Russian sanctions so there is a positive.

We need some market communication before or early April on what our strategy is post Ukraine and Russian sanctions and possibly those in it's sphere.

Sorry I regret NOT selling out at 6p.

Maybe their will be news after the dividend is paid out regarding Cyprus, will the SP lose traction and sink with the tide or will there be a news flow and a rising tide?

The market needs information and I hope an announcement we are not looking out to the East for opportunities now the geopolitical landscape has changed. I did nearly invest in EUA a long time back and they are now in difficult times and sanctions can be put on any country who are friendly with Russia right now.

USA suddenly withdraws from Afghanistan as not to have their military bogged down there as they can sense headwinds elsewhere.
Trouble in Kazakstan which may have given the Russians some geopolitical tactical situation.
Russia enters Ukraine.
Talk of China invading Taiwan.

We are in the midst of a rearrangement of the geopolitical sphere and seemingly the move away from the petro dollar.

If AAU was not invested in my ISA and SIPP, I would selling out and going into 1oz Silver Britannia's and Crypto after the dividend payment.

It would seem Sandstorm Gold have lessened their risk on the Hot Maden project for various reasons.

So we have done a similar thing, which looks to have been possibly a wise move.

So with that said what have we moved onto, Cyprus and Venus Minerals.

Trying to decipher what Ariana are actually doing on the ground there, if anything is baffling to say the least. It could take 5 to 8 years, maybe longer, before it is reflected in the SP. All I hear is market silence!

As for Kazakhstan and Kosovo, I personally do not wish to be invested in those regions, I have enough risk in my portfolio and I always considered Ariana to be my sweeper, my Franz Beckenbauer, of my portfolio. Solid and reliable.

Regretting now selling out at 6p or even 5p, my finger was hovering but I felt sub 10p was on the cards.

Looking at the Sandstorm news, its not losing the Hot Maden corridor, it is losing a large proportion of the other projects that irks and I am asking for what?

Surely getting into bed with PALM in the stronger jurisdictions of Australia and Canada would reflect better in the SP?

This Cypriot story seems not wanting to be written, when will they IPO?

‘ and yes, i work in the industry too.’

So with your knowledge, does WN have to a frack play to be of anything of merit ?

@jamrock, virtually everyone I speak to now are of the opinion the covid period is in the past, they need selling some other ‘fear porn’.

How old is Bell now?

I cannot ever remember how long I have been listening to his ‘murmurings’, but I have never invested in anything he has done.

I might have him to rearrange my salt and pepper pots and place mats around my kitchen table and perhaps run to the shops to get me some mint sauce to put on my lamb roast.

I'm POW, let's get forward POW

' I said before the gas will be burnt off'

Can anyone confirm this?

'the grounds are very very strong to have this permission rejected'

Maybe they are but the threat does not go away, they will just keep returning.

'using the crisis in Ukraine and the fantasy about Russian gas dependancy is also a fallacy,'

We need our own gas

'pray tell how much in percentage terms does the UK import annually?'

I don't know?

How much annually do the UK export to the likes of Belgium answer me that?
'I saw quite a bit'

'The UK already has enough gas and oil to be self sufficient, grow up'
Maybe

'As I said. Frack drill..do what they want.I really would not care.'

For the first time ever Heidi in my eyes, you have let yourself down here.

Firstly the protestors who read these pages are going to dig in even more with statements like that.

Secondly if the fracking ban is lifted then one may assume they may want to frack at WN, the protestors are not going to want this application to succeed under that scenario.

More tact and consideration of the other view from the residents and protestors or we could lose the appeal! They will just keep screaming the green agenda and cloud the views of the decision makers.

The threat of fracking is the real problem in this application.

'Go join the protestors then PAUL1DEANO'

I am putting myself in their shoes to understand their fierce opposition to the application.

I believe if it was signed into agreement that no fracking will take place ever at WN or will be sought then then it may get granted.

Sorry Heid, I cannot support fracking in the United Kingdom.

Here is where the problem lies, WN is shaping up to be a fracking play.
