Good morning addicknt.

I fully agree with you on ExploreCo.

I believe we have more than one party intrested.

I think news on ExploreCo could be a game changer and that's where the interest is.

We have been told so many times by the company that we have no interest in Cascabel.

I suspect for the reasons I have outlined over the years.

But it's all looking good.

Good morning Not2sure.

The problem is that in the past, this has been aided by parties acting in concert or a large share being acquired by one bidder.

Solgold is different and so behaves differently within the market.

A small thought experiment.

BHP could have offered a premium when we were about 7 pence a share.

They knew what we had, but they couldn't agree a friendly bid.

Because they were not willing to pay a fair price .

So the question is what would Solgold recommend is a fair price for a friendly bid.

Answer a lot more than a major wants to pay.

So they could go hostile.

That really is a non starter.

As everyone with a stake would refuse an offer, so as to inflate the price.

Sure at times in past we have been vulnerable, but today we really are the architects of our own destiny.

The reason that a major won't bid for Solgold is because we are not a distressed seller.

They can bid for other projects around the world and acquire them cheaply.

Because we have defended the company and have a diverse book, then anyone who wanted to buy us would have to pay a fair price.

Majors aren't into that.

However they have some nice stakes and will take the profits when we are producing.

Of course they may try to acquire more equity along the way, but that's what the company needs to guard against.

I agree Derrick.

But the execution plan is underlying what today's RNS is about.

Good morning.

Dan has a plan.

It's the execution plan that Solgold published earlier this year.

I have posted it.

It's worth a read as gives time scales.

Also it can be checked against what some people post on here.

Good morning Banzaimcgowan.

I like everyone else on here want Solgold to be ultimately successful, we already are.

But it is the responsibility of every person to stop the attacks and false information spread on pages like this, which is perpetrated by people like slug to cause unrest within our society.

Sorry but I will always speak out against these vile individuals.

However it's good to see Solgold responding well to today's news.

We now need the funding news for the rest of the funding.

Hopefully from loans and maybe bonds.

We seem to have a positive move on the news this morning.

Imagine when we announce the start of construction.

These results are better than good.

We now require the final go ahead and the rest of the funding to start construction.

As we have the PFS for block cave, we just have to cut a decline that fits in with the PFS for early concentrate.

Really Slug, have you forgotten the two biggest grooming gangs not only in the UK.

They have abused tens of thousands of children, but you defend them and claim to be a member of one of these gangs .

They are the Catholic church and the church of England.

I don't see you condemning these disgusting child abusers.

Let's remember this still goes on and these organisations defend the perpetrators.

Have they handed over these individuals to the authorities with the evidence.

Have they handed over the people who covered up their crimes and let them continue abusing children for decades under their protection.

Let's see you spending your energy against these foul individuals.

But you won't because they are mostly white middle class.

Yes we have grooming gangs.

But these are the biggest grooming gangs in the world.

Oh dear slug, you don't want to let facts affect your judgement, after all no one could accuse you of that.

Just as many people who think the BBC favours the left, believe it favours the right.

BBC currently accused of giving reform to easy a ride, as it hasn't called out Farages lies.

Also they have let reform get away with ridiculous economic policies, where they have called out the nonsense that Zac Polanski espouses.

Idiots on both sides of the argument.

MathersFinger the person who polices this forum and threatens to sue and bully people.

You show yourself up every time you post your bile.

Toby Young was one of the nutter's who lied about the COVID vaccine and cost people their life's.

He is an idiot and should have been prosecuted.

Addicknt the daily sceptic is associated with Toby Young.

It's the nutters bible.

I had you down for someone sensible.

Lastly addicknt, the daily sceptic is for nutters that is well known.

No need addicknt.

The BBC has been tying itself in knots by trying to see both sides of the argument.

It sometimes is absurd, when you give equal weight to an argument that is supported by facts and evidence against a conspiracy theory with no facts or evidence.

Hopefully they will shortly sort themselves out.

Yes addicknt I know, he said it.

But it's often misquoted as Bill Gates doesn't believe climate change is the biggest problem humanity faces.

He does.

He is addressing the Human side and through science and his fund breakthrough energy is addressing the climate change side.

As I said it's nuanced.

Okay addicknt I have used gptchat to round up his position and show opposition to it.

I think this broadly explains his position.

Bill Gates' approach to climate change emphasizes technological innovation, the need to reach net-zero emissions, and a recent call for a "strategic pivot" to prioritize human welfare and adaptation in the world's poorest countries. He argues that a "doomsday" view of climate change is counterproductive.

Key Aspects of Gates' Position

Innovation as the Primary Solution: Gates argues that technological solutions are essential to making clean energy and products cost-competitive with fossil fuels (eliminating the "Green Premium"). His investment fund, Breakthrough Energy, backs research and development in areas like advanced nuclear energy, energy storage, sustainable agriculture, and green manufacturing (cement, steel).

"Getting to Zero": His 2021 book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, stresses the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, rather than just reducing them. He breaks down emissions into five main sectors (electricity, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and buildings) and highlights specific innovations needed for each.

Prioritizing Human Welfare/Adaptation: In a recent memo ahead of the COP30 summit, Gates advocated for a strategic pivot in global climate strategy. He argues that while reducing emissions is important, the immediate focus should be on initiatives that have the greatest impact on human welfare, such as global health and agricultural improvements, especially in developing nations that are most affected by climate change but contribute the least to it.

Pragmatism Over Alarmism: Gates believes that an overly alarmist or "doomsday" view of climate change is unhelpful and that a more optimistic, data-driven approach focused on practical solutions is more effective for motivating action. He maintains that climate change is a serious problem, but will not lead to humanity's demise.

Reception and Criticism

Gates' recent shift in rhetoric has been met with mixed reactions.

Praise: Some commentators and scientists agree that focusing on human well-being and a positive narrative can be more effective for sustained climate action than fear-based messaging.

Criticism: Many climate scientists, such as Michael Mann and Jeffrey Sachs, criticize Gates for creating a "false dichotomy" that pits climate mitigation efforts against poverty reduction, arguing that both can and should be addressed simultaneously. Critics also suggest his emphasis on future technologies might distract from the immediate need to transition away from fossil fuels using existing solutions like wind and solar power.

As I have said addicknt he is often reported wrongly.

Although he said that, the conversation was misquoted.

He agrees that humanity can survive climate change, but the cost in life and the planet doesn't warrant thinking about.

It's often misquoted by climate deniers.

Not accusing you addicknt of being a climate denier.

Let me try and find something detailing Bill Gates accurately on climate change.

Good afternoon addicknt.

I think Bill Gates is a remarkable individual and we are broadly aligned on climate change.

Often what Bill Gates says is misreported.

So currently he is saying that in order to address climate change, we must help the poorest people in the world, because until they can more than just exist, those countries are not going to change behaviour and I accept that.

He also states that the richest nations are the biggest offenders and we must do everything we can to bring about change.

His vaccine programs in Africa have been life changing and his affect on the poorest people in the world is remarkable for the vision of one person.

Bill Gates undersands climate change, but he is addressing the Human side and leaving science to address the biggest extrasential problem humanity faces.

I agree with him.
