IG are no longer taking positions on Tlou, stopped about a month ago

'Imported beer' .... I'm starting with a bottle of Adnams Broadside.

Thorn back.. I expect the RFP to be sorted in the coming weeks, not months, but you may well be correct.

It's clear that this is the decision before the decision about the main decision.

Total acreage now 9,300 sq kilometres, should keep them busy drilling holes. Wonder how long it takes to put in a 100 mile power line? - Looks like May for the final tender business then.

I was thinking about it last night, Tlou's work force will probably use Electric Vehicles, no fuel costs, in fact Botswana could end up using the cheap electric vehicles that someone like Tata will be knocking out by then. Great possibilities down the line.

$2.50 a watt and panel prices - Internet search, although if it came to it, Tlou would have their own work force and would be able to buy much cheaper panels, so that figure is of no use (the $5000 figure) What brought this on - boredom.... solar panels have been mentioned in the past as an addition to CBM, but CBM in the major event here, solar panels probably after 3 or 4 years when the revenue is pouring in. I think $150 million was mentioned for 10Mw, then next step 20 Mw and on and on.

Have been doing some solar panel calcs.... From the Internet.... "As a general rule, you need to provide about 5 acres of land for a ground-mount system. As more efficient panels are used, that land need will be reduced. So, one acre would provide about 200 kW. At $2.50 per watt, the installed cost would be about $500,000." So 5 acres would produce circa 1 Mw (different sites calculate different measures) so 250 acres in a square kilo.... That's 50 Mw. Tlou has 8300 square kilos 100% owned. I'm sure installation costs and material costs on very large scale would be very agreeable.

Once this tender result appears, and it will one day, the news flow thereafter will be value adding newsflow, again and again. There will be happiness and much joy on the Tlou message board, men will be taking their wives out to dinner for no reason.

Reckon that some will be able to ease off on the Prozac in a few months, there is a chance that the Botty tender department might treble check that the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed, in which case the decision might appear in May, but I hope it will be April. - Would love to see the time-line spread sheet that must be up on Tony's office wall, for the next three years.

Share Prices are like cats, they do what they want when they want. My guess is the next leg up is due in anticipation of news, perhaps next week, to 7.5p.

A couple of these fellas to start with.... https://www.cat.com/en_GB/news/engine-press-releases/caterpillar-launches-1-mw-cg132b-16-natural-gas-generator-set.html

Great interview, news flow starting very soon, RFP looks nailed on one way or another, Tony 90% pos. on that, plus funding for next raft of developments secured. When all these items come through then we are out of the stalls. Reckon 20p by Christmas.

It's when you hear the word 'imminent', that's the cue for switching off the computer for 6 months.

Plus, have you seen the size of the data centres bathroom. It's MASSIVE.

Quite a few new posters appearing out of nowhere giving their opinion that the share price will collapse... I have always wondered if such activity does help the SP go in the required direction or whether its futile.

Is that shorter still shorting?

Haven't read any use of the word 'massive' today

Love that name.. Slumber
