Presumably land that is not viable for growing crops now would become viable if it was a bit warmer, as throughout the 4.6bn years this planet has existed it has been much hotter, much colder and different forms of live have existed, thrived or become extinct. The times they change, and it's nothing to do with those flatulent cows or the diesel vehicles people drive. It happens anyway.

It's not as if man won't adjust. If sea levels were rising would you stay in your house by the sea and wait to die or move inland? Bill Gates isn't too concerned about that one with his beach front mansion.

Not only off book addicknt but off exchange too so the reporting requirements are different. They may not have happened at 15:15 yesterday

Dubai is more than 3C warmer than Aberdeen and the population has not yet dropped dead..

I totally believe in letting everybody have free speech and never interfering in what they say or do. But if I had any advice for IP it would be to let go for a little while as your desperation is reflecting badly on you. Just stand by the reasons you invested because they haven't changed, everything else is outside of your control in any case.

Sit back, pour a whisky, smile that the future is bright for holders here.

I've applied for the maximum allowance I was given, and for plenty more on top not that I hold any hope of getting any of the spare ones.

So a half million dollar battery storage buys us 4 hours of operation? Heaven forbid its not sunny for a fortnight we'd have to shut down

Hydro electric can definitely help, solar cannot.

Good job Ecuador aren't banning ICE vehicles by 2030 then isn't it? Otherwise we'd need expensive electrical machinery and how would we power it?

87MW? So a 1 GW battery storage system would keep us going for about one cloudy day, then we're waiting again for the sun to come. It's just total madness, the whole stupid thing!

They won't build sufficient solar power though, it will be a tiny willy waving exercise. You raise a good point though about chopping forests down, and of course mining itself, to get the "green revolution" we have to basically destroy nature and exert a lot of power and energy in the process. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I have no idea how much power a large block cave operation like Cascabel would use but I bet it's a lot. Quady's idea of chaining 2 or 3 1Kw Eco-flow camping batteries together wouldn't keep much going for long though.

A 1GW system is about $500,000. That would give you 1GW for 1 hour backup.

Correct pbow, it's a publicity stunt to tick the ESG boxes

So when it's cloudy and the panels aren't producing much if anything, do we just down tools because the mine can't operate?! Even Mad Ed Millibrain has released wind isn't going to produce what he thought it would.

It's fine feeding the grid when it's sunny to power all those lady shaves in the region, but what do we do for power the rest of the time? You can't store solar power in meaningful amounts, the technology does not exist and what is there is so expensive that it is not feasible.

Are they just going to mine when it's sunny then?!

As for the Hydro power, did I read somewhere that a certain portion of it has to be used for the community not for the mine? The mexican ladies will want to be able to plug in their electric razors and shave their ars.es!

I actually went to Mexico on my recent trip, and was most impressed. They are very small people though, almost like being in Lilliput

Monte, I thought it was lost until recently but I see hope. Trump has led the way, the UK hates it government and they won't last. Most of Europe is shaking off the cancer that is DEI. We have passed peak woke, we will suffer some more and then consign the bollo.x to history and move on with tradtional capitalism.

And there is no better place to be right now than in gold. This stock is a gold play, make no mistake. We not be gold, we might not produce gold, but in a world where the next Bretton Woods moment (mark 3) is imminent, any access to gold is going to be a very smart move. Assets as undervalued as this one is represent the very greatest potential reward.

And Trump just signed a deal with Australia on rare Earths and critical minerals too. It is clear he is moving away from China and that sets off a scramble for who can supply the US (they recently added copper as a critical) with what they need if they cannot source it themselves.

The sleepy, stupid, woke West has finally woken up under President Trump. Better late than never but there is work to do and it must be done quickly.

She's a very smart operator, that much is undeniable.

So if Solgold get all permits then Gina buys them....problem solved.

I agree CMG, add to that she's a close friend of Mather who has been relaxed about Cascabel for years.

In my view, there's no way the West will let the chinks take this asset given their current dominance in the metals and rares markets

Fort - weren't you one of the clowns stating that Melei would lose the mid-terms?! What do you expect, sorry what have the BBC told you that the outcome of the referendum will be?

But they're a simpler operation for extraction. There are far fewer outfits willing to take on a deep, expensive and complicated asset like Cascabel. The majors know this, so they've let Solgold fly their production kite safe in the knowledge it can never happen and the going concern will need constant dilution to keep the lights on.

The enemy within, Cazzubo, even shrunk the mine to make it yet less viable for the capEx such that (maybe) only BHP would be willing to take it on for a song. Nobody is fooled by the take it to production mantra, with one notable exception on this forum.

G-mining working for Ziangxi changes the story somewhat. We can carry on with flannel like Tandy funds Alpala but the real story is who will take on this complex engineering project and reap the rewards. To that end, we can only hope that mass panic and the rush to gold caused BHP and others to challenge for ownership.

That will be the outcome, and a "Western" major (I include Reinhardt in that) will eventually prosper, somewhere around a quid a share.

And you think a major hasn't already thought of that and couldn't buy the pair of them?

So true NMM, hindsight would have been a wonderful tool when Solgold hit the 40s a few times. Watch this come back like a Phoenix from the flames though.

Last shake out in Gold before the journey to $10k
