slight delay on rail till March now by which time the washplant will be fully operational. Of no consequence though as metcoal is in greater demand than before (partly thanks to Warrior Met miners being on strike next door) so Integrate are happy to pay full asking processed price for the rawcoal delivered by road with no need to wash it. Adam is clearly a great negotiator.

1st payment Friday I think for 1000T per day transported by road at processed price despite being unwashed raw-coal. Rail spur for shipment wasn't due to be completed till February originally so BEN has managed to negotiate offtake revenue 1 month early. Already about $3m profit for basically dropping coal off the MHW conveyor to the ground and scooping it up into trucks. That's the 2nd HWM paid for! Can we have another HWM please to treble revenue?

me too CH. I have no access to mm data & trading volumes. Only been doing shares since October and still don't get how great news via podcast interviews and RNS doesn't attract new investors and a rise on the sp. All the hype about this being a £1+ share with 10p dividends (that is 25% dividends at the current 40p sp!) and still we bob around 39p. Buy a closed down shop and start selling products in demand, buy the neighbouring shop to double the amount of shelves, buy some more tills and sort out delivery transportation, generate revenue 2months ahead of schedule and the value of that formerly closed shop would be huge and keep growing. Do the same to a coal mine and the price goes up 400% and just hovers there despite all the future potential. Guess while it bobs around 39p the guys who bought in couple months ago will just keep slicing to take advantage of dips in other stocks and come back to see we are still only at 40p with a 1p spread. :( I expected a pump n dump but figured the slicing wouldn't take place till mid 40s. Damn Biden and his rate hikes and media scaremongering of Russian invading to take over the gas pipes. Now prices are recovering maybe investors will come back here on Friday to see RNS about first revenue payment. AIM is definitely a traders game, but am still gonna hold my BEN stake longterm as the potential profits have to filter down to the shareholders, don't they? Genuine question.

· Shipped 1000T rawcoal HighVolB by road Tuesday @washed price, paid Friday
· Shipping 1000T daily
· 2HWM onsite mid Feb to double production
· 1000ft depth mining = 1000T per day x 2 HWM
· Fix washplant to test stage in next 2 weeks to make better grade = higher profit
· CLN was used for 1200acres BEN2 & 2nd HWM
· intention to deep mine Ben2
· may need another CLN to buy 2nd rail and 2nd washplant and another redundant mine (BEN3) plus it's reserves
· Will only cash raise if the benefit to Ben & shareholders > effect of dillution
· bad weather has had little impact on progress
· train will commence in March by which time washplant will already be in full operation
·100mTpy High VolB based on 80KTpd at $310 per short tonne
·High VolA at Ben2 (1200 acres) gets $400pT
·will combine VolA from BEN2 with VolB from BEN1 to sell as VolB+
·3rd HWM to be considered to treble profits
· dividend of purchase price (10p) intended. At current sp that is 25%!!
·every $1 increase in coal price adds $1m to annual turnover!

New revenue, growth plans and dividends. Awesome podcast. What Adam promises, Ben delivers.

my bad, not a Bod. Just a wise investor with a large 22m holding and 6.25% of the total voting rights in the Company.

Guessing that 100,000 buy after close Friday was from John Story. Always a good sign when the Bods buy more, not that we need any more signs that this is a great investment.

Heart goes out to the dead & injured in Ghana. Hope the community there can be helped and you investors get chance to adjust your holdings before the news hits.

dip to 6.5p, let some latecomers boards the trucks, drive up to 7.8p by 9th Feb, otherwise all those lines my 6yo son just scribbled on my candle chart mean he was just trying to draw a rocket ship. Either way let's hope is a better chartist than he is an artist. GLA

Talk on the HUI bb is suggesting Eu has fined Poland for it's continued open cast thermal coal mining operations near Czech border and that funding may be cut for the HUI project, hence the drop in share price there and here I guess. Well, push on with talks in Japan and elsewhere then.

btw, did anyone who paid for the IPO HUI shares get their Aquis certificate in the post yet? "The certificate will be posted on (or most likely sometime before) 20th January 2022. Please note that due to the ongoing COVID situation time spent in the postage system may be longer then we’d usually expect. Neville Registrars"

8 States in March with deal to supply 37 States. Strong sales growth in it's pioneer state of California already. Strong sales of canned product range on Amazon so all 50 States can get a taste for it. Tony Burt and his marketing team doing an excellent job. Looking forward to Q1 Trading Update and news of further distribution deals.

Record gold poured in FY2021 of 73,206 ounces (FY2020: 67,552 ounces).

· Gold recovery for FY2021 was 83.7% (FY2020: 72.2%) up 16.2% on FY2020.

Guess this morning was a typical AIM sell on news morning without reading the RNS. That is their loss. Darren Bowden managed to increase revenue and decrease debt despite mechanical problems and Covid. Well done, more gold please.

double the amount of mining rigs, double the output, double the revenue, double the profits, purchase more mining realty, grow the company, increase the mcap, pay dividends....
Unless the demand for steel drops (newsflash: it won't!) then there will always be a demand for BEN's metcoal.
This is still a great entry point/top up price/ pension pot/ISA. Read through all the RNS documents, watch the podcasts, read the various message boards. Adam, the CEO, has kept all investors informed through this very short infancy as BEN has become a revenue generating machine that keeps growing. Last month 10000 acres and 1 mining rig, this month 11200 acres (2 neighbouring mine sites) and 2 mining rigs. Ben is an infant yet has already done so much in a short time. Imagine how big this Company will be in any time frame. Seriously, the coal is visibly there. This is not sticking a straw in some mud and hoping to find oil. This is mining metcoal that is right infront of us/the HighWallMining rig team. Thanks Adam, BEN is my ISA pension plan and then some.

margie123, You are getting in at a good time IMO below 7p with CGO as everything seems to be on track in Lubu. It looks like the first coal extraction expected in March may well happen earlier as the 4x4m wide shaft is being dug and more plant arrives onsite in the form of trucks, water supply and drainage. Glad the lads will have a loo onsite now or maybe those provisions are for the local community that CGO will continually support throughout it's mining lifetime.

This doesn't affect CGO but does mean other sites may be available for aquisition...

But it does appear that 2 new Hwange generators were 76% completed for Phase III of the power plant rehabilitation in December 2021 despite financial delays and Covid. On track for completion this year. So potential extra revenue stream for CGO should they choose to do so. That said, CGO current intention in Lubu is to mine just metcoal.

The Briggate, Garforth, Leeds. Can't beat a traditional breakfast and bottomless latte, free wifi and brought a radar key to save the trek upstairs ;)

acquiring not aquiring, sorry, got distracted in Wetherspoons like a sea captain on land and missed the 'C'

Chinese were to be involved in building a new power station as the current one is in a poor condition but as they are no longer intending to import 'dirty' coal I think they pulled out of the deal with Zim gov't. Instead Zim is relying on importing green hydro-electric energy from Zambia. The main colliery that supplied the power station wasn't paying it's energy bill so they cut off their electric and ironically the coal mine closed so no fuel for the power station. Zim do plan to build a new power station at some point in which case CGO could supply them with thermal coal if Carl decides it is in the best interests of shareholders and to ensure Zim doesn't have to rely on just 6-12 hours of electric per day as it does now. I haven't read up the current situation but that is what I have in my research notes from when I invested last year. So DYOR.

Current intention is for CGO to only mine coal for steel. So much so we intend to build our own coking batteries to give an uplift in revenue for the higher priced processed coal. Sets CGO up well for aquiring further local mine sites although the current site and shallow depth coal seams is huge!
