I agree with Cappy. I have majority of my investment in BEN but one of the deadlines I think he is aluding to is the rail spur that was originally under contract to be completed by end of January with possibility of running into February. The rail spur repairs are now complete, presumably have had 3rd and final sign-off, but no mention of compensation from the construction crew whom were under contract to complete in January nor of when the first of 2 booked freight by rail will take place this month.
Fair enough Adam negotiated with Integrity Coal to buy the ROM coal and ship it by truck 2 months early so rail delays were of no consequence. Kudos to the boss. All hail the Chief, he is to be admired as a negotiator and PR asset to the Company. Will be great to see a video of the rail hoppers being loaded up as that will encourage investors new & old to do the same and join the BEN gravy train. If my flats sell this month at auction then I'll match your £150K and raise .. ;)

My mum, aged 92 (will be 93 on BEN's birthday month), just opened a share account this week and invested in just one stock for her share ISA. I reckon she may well be BEN's oldest investor. Only £5K in yesterdays 99p dip but I've assured her it will be at least £7.5K by Christmas plus £500 dividends. If she doesn't see £8K in her account in December I am probably just gonna get a lump of coal in my stocking and a lump on my head from her walking stick. We now both have a BENsion pot :)

Seems despite the news of extra acreage & completion of railroad to carry out 2 loads of 10KT washed coal this month that the sp needs a slight LIFT. Unfortunately it would seem that some have been persuaded to sell to get some LIFT :/ How ironic that a PR company advocate selling a share they are paid to promote in order to get investors to buy shares in their PR company.
Anyway, great news for BEN. As always I keep a balanced (non-rampy) outlook and see some of the news as being same as previous RNS. We await news on:
actual sign off on the railworks and confirmation that both freight runs will take place this month (and for full 22KT as per contract);
will we do 3 or more rail runs as of next month to increase offtake amount beyond that 22KT hedge agreement?;
how will the deep mining be done at the 1200acreage? vertical shaft or horizontal using a Sandvik eLHD underground equipment?;
when will that start?;
will we Lease or purchase a HWM for the Star Ridge 2640acreage site or is that a deep mine too?;
what month will revenue/profit results be published?;
how far off the 35.4m are we off now for those dividends to be announced?;
As Star Ridge payment so far is just Option to purchase £0.4m shares at 93p do we still have all the $6m CLN and accrued revenue so far? Does that mean that a second BEN emulation site negotiation is still under way or are those funds destined to purchase a 3rd HWM and or undertake deep mining at the 1200acre site?
All looking good so far, increasing LOB (Life of Ben) by increasing acreage/sub-lease deals. A stock to hold with diamond hands for a prosperous future. Well done to all early investors and welcome aboard the BEN gravy train to all new ones. I say that with absolute Integrity pardon the pun.

Phosphate prices have gone up to $1KpT now so multiply that x 5.2T already mined + 1.5T to be mined in summer = $6.7m revenue
Costs reduced from $290 as bulk of product has already been stockpiled so assume nearer the 5 year target of $92pT costs but lets say $150pT to be conservative. so $5.7m profit!

Just need Mawougno Mila Aziable to hand out the exploitative permit in Togo now so we can get revenue from manganese too.

FB post did not say Friday.
"Due one end of next week to confirm the rail has passed its 3rd and final certification test by the railroad company. We have 2 coal deliveries scheduled this month. Each presumably 100 hoppers x 100T washed coal to meet the offtake deal requirements made with Integrity Coal. The 2nd HWM should be getting fired up too."

Just for clarity, Carlos has no inside info. Everything on the facebook page is based on RNS, podcasts, vox interviews, emails and a wet finger in the air. The FB group is just to show/update the information and visuals to prospective and current investors is an easy access social media arena.

Goodbye Springsteen, welcome to Nirvana and Happy Mondays as we are back to the 90s!
FOMO Friday as we anticipate news of the rail spur sign-off, first of 2x10KT April shipments of washed coal to Integrity Coal.
BEN has a savvy CEO. He got us an offtake deal before first coal fell off the conveyor and they wanted it so much they bought it run-of-mine raw. Now they are getting it washed, we can supply them more than that minimum 22KT a month deal and they want it all.
I begrudge ramping this share as I still haven't sold my flats to invest more (no that 100K was not my buy, but well done to whomever made it). However, this is such a monumental time in BEN's short history that it is impossible not to be excited. Fire up those 2 HWM. Back In Black, its been too long, I'm glad to be back...into the 90s

Does that imply we are about to start signing some international revenue generating deals soon? Poland? Bulgaria?...

oh yeh my bad, was Springsteen. As for Back in Black, we need another video at the Creek, this time of the rail hoppers being loaded with a Whole Lot of Rosie Ben audio track. It was 42, 34, then 56p. You could say Ben's got it all! Low 80s for now.

don't be so impatient Capy. People are off flipping oil & gas stocks at the moment trying to raise enough funds to come back and buy a larger holding here later. Maybe we get rail news end of next week and we head out of the 80s (Ben was 'Born in the USA' by Bryan Adams) and back into the 90s by payday Friday ('Friday I'm in Love' by the Cure) then on to the naughties ('woohoo I got a feeling')

78K sold
429.6K bought so far today.
sp -0.85%
WTF? How are they keeping the price down?

19th January RNS of US Distribution deal, sp 11.5p
No news since then, sp down nearly 50%
Are revenue figures due this month? Distribution to further States? Announcement of UK deal? Implications of them winning The Spirit Business Gold 2022 award? Need some news please Tony before we end up 50% of January's placing.

No thermal coal here. BEN is metcoal. That said, Russia is supplying majority of it's metcoal to China rather than Europe now and started doing so prior to the invasion. Guess the commodities market were aware of Putin's plans before Zelenskyy. Europe now has to rely on imports of metcoal from USA & South Africa. Don't worry, there is an ongoing logistics issue with the freight rail from the coalyards to Richards Bay port of South Africa so USA is still Europe's primary source of metcoal. BEN is not going for the dirty thermal coal. Should some thermal coal come out as we seek the metcoal seams then for sure it too will be sold, but we won't be stood around stockpiling it to bbq sausages!

Brine sampling at holes LV01 and LV02, on Laguna Verde, will be completed this week and submitted for laboratory analysis. Results for this first batch of brine samples is expected in early Q2 2022 which will be announced to the market. Brine samples from remaining holes drilled at both projects in the current season will be received over the course of Q2 and further announced to the market. Based on completion of the four-hole drill programme at Laguna Verde and two holes at Francisco Basin, an upgraded resource estimate for Laguna Verde and a maiden resource estimate for Francisco Basin is also expected to be completed in the second quarter.

21st March "Poland busy with refugee crisis so city mayors had to cancel meetings with us but that will change in 2 weeks..." So resume discussions next week with syngas as primary sales pitch? If Germany are getting gas cut off from Russia then we need to pitch hard and offer syngas. Forget green Hydrogen for now. If local councils can convince voters the benefits of syngas from plastic waste then governments should find the initial expenditure meets nationwide approval in each country across Europe. They are already making U-turns on fracking and planning refusals in order to find a solution to the gas demand. The public are pro-climate change and against fracking so it is a no brainer. Gov'ts need to be pushed by local councils/mayors. Mayors need to be pushed by the residents. Needs some emotional blackmail and PR to the effect that HUI/PHE can ease our gas bills and dependency on imported gas. From my own pov I was sold HUI IPO on premise it will multi-bag but am currently 20% down. I will be holding the paper certificate for a decade as a future investment for my son. The roast interview expect the sp will increase in 6+months. Fair enough, but in the meantime I have to agree with a lot of LSE posters that all the RNS should be more about what HUI are achieving, what agreements have been signed, which cities are committed to installing the plant and for new investors an idea of what sort of revenue may be expected. No point treating the RNS as a PR blurb about benefits of Hydrogen from plastic as you are preaching to the converted. Deal about to be signed?...

mid June for interim results. I wanted to buy last month but only got the funds in time to invest today. Missed the cheaper entry yesterday morning but having read some of the RNS, website, twitter pages and looking at where the price was a few months ago I was still confident to buy in today as an investment rather than a flip. Fertiliser is the new gold and it aint coming from Russia/Ukraine anytime soon. Prices are 3x what they were pre-invasion. Looking forward to a gradual rise up rather than the big spike jumps of late before those June results get released.

10:37:00 0.1259 3,612,791 Sell* 0.12 0.14 4,549 was in fact me making a BUY but I wasn't aware it was Aquis as I bought through UK broker. It doesn't show on the other KRS page

I bought 3612791 at 0.1259 this morning (Thursday) @10:37hrs £4548.50 but I can't see it in the list of share trades. Any reason that a buy would be hidden? Are MMs up to tricks hiding buys or has my broker not updated the system or something?

Constant chat on news (al jazeera/sky etc) about shortage of fertiliser and animal feedstock since sanctions. Even mentioned in Boris committee meeting yesterday about why not opening the closed fertiliser plants in UK. Basic reason is they require gas to produce ammonia products so it is not cost effective at the moment and OPEC not likely to change that in today's meeting keeping oil quotas as they are. Fertiliser at 3x pre-invasion prices. What was sp pre-invasion? multiply that by 3

CaptnH, CGO dug up coal but they still don't have an offtake agreement. The local Chinese steel firms don't want it. If it gets exported to South africa it incurs freight costs, border taxes and payment has to be 60% US£ and 40% Zim$ so depreciates immediately at the Zim govt controlled exchange rate. Zim press is reporting another local mine being raided by armed gangs. Not a stable country like the US. They even mentioned sourcing a coke battery (not that they have bought one or leased one yet) so where are the funds coming from for it all? BBQ parties?

Back to BEN, the Company with offtake agreements signed from the get go, a CEO whom answers questions and keeps investors informed along the way. A business that in half a year has increased acreage, bought more mining equipment, quadrupling production and hoping to acquire a whole new BEN site. CGO may do well 2024, so let people slice a few here today to make a 20% rise at CGO before it gets dumped and they come back to find a photo of a train being loaded with 10000T of washed coal. Yep, we have a fully functioning washplant now, not waiting for one to still be manufactured in South Africa ;)

Today is the 88eth day of the year! The worst day
