The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Do they even know what they are doing? Look at Bowie's employment record. He was a business development manager 8 months ago (business speak for salesman)
Between 1996 and 2008 his longest job was 3 years and shortest less than a year.
7 years at Amphi Capital, which is a BS dormant company
Current chairman of the board at Cora Gold which has its pretax loss widened to USD2.5 million in 2022 from USD1.8 million a year prior. Cash and cash equivalents fell year-on-year to USD461,000 from USD5.4 million. Cora Gold did not declare a dividend for 2022, unchanged from a year before. Out of his three current appointments: 1 is (and always has been) dormant and the other two are losing money hand over fist. Utter incompetence
They have a revenue of $17 billion and produce 180 million tonnes of ore per year. Beowulf has no revenue and no operating mines and produces 0
Vague words with the promise of speed. I'm sure they want to get things done as soon as they can but the plan never survives first contact with the enemy. I've rarely seen a project of this scale brought in on time let alone early and there are too many third party variables impacting the critical path of their programme, over which they have no or little control (ITER was 4 or 5 years late for example). That said, I'm still in and holding albeit a little disappointed in the performance since achieving the exploitation licence.
I would say that advancing in this case just means to progress and 'reassessing' is unclear. Although likely to be an extension rather than a reduction. If they were bringing it forward I would expect to see words like 'acceleration', which would be normal construction planning parlance.
SP up 12.99% with no RNS. Is good news impending next week? or a pump and dump?
Share consolidation
Disappointing to see personal attacks on here. It says more about you as a person. Please be civil and stick to facts
nothing will happen this year now and commodity prices have taken a real hammering. I believe that the average age of Jokkmokk is high as many young people move to the city. I think they may have more pressing issues at the moment
Thanks Suzy, I would like to second that sentiment. I'm now homeworking and bunkered until this is done. Heads below the parapet and stay safe and well

I suspect that nothing positive is going to happen within share trading for at least 6 months. The US suspended all trading for 15 minutes earlier today. Hopefully BEM can limp on and survive the next 6 months
We are far from being 'the big boys' and we simply don't have the options that a sovereign government has
Personally, after this weekend I am in no rush for a decision. Commodities have taken a beating due to the coronavirus and this thing is no where near peaking and is much more serious than chinese reports or our own media would suggest. The ore is in the ground and not going anywhere. Let's see which politicians and investors are left after this has played out ;p

Hi Suzy, it won't just be investors. It will also be people of the relevant principalities who need jobs and regeneration. The petition is not just for BEM. It is the whole govt approach and their lack of response
Thanks Pocko, signed
Can you link the petition? We should probably all sign it
Let me know if you need any advice when UU get back to you. It'll take both our minds off BEM ;)
That doesn't good Eric. 1600 litres won't be 'oozing' but there's a good chance that it's excavating a void under your house. United Utilities will be trying to find out if the leak is on the main side of the meter (their responsibility) or domestic side of the meter (your responsibility). Good luck
No mine neither but sometimes you have to hold a candle to the devil. As BEM have no control to remove the incompetent and if removed may be replaced by somebody even more incompetent, we have to find a way of mitigating, circumventing or working with them. Some people are so ignorant and thick skinned that even public shaming rolls off their backs like sex crimes roll off a royal personage
I come across many occasions where I could 'go contractual' with clients and subcontractors but you have to balance that with maintaining a working relationship. There's not much comfort in being contractually 'right' if you aren't winning the work and many of these government appointed people can be insanely egotistical and petty and make your life a misery. I'm guessing that the approval (or not) of the exploitation licence is not the end of BEM's potential dealing with Mr. Baylan and his department and therefore it would be wise to try and maintain a working relationship.......or take him out drinking and get photos of him motor-boating a stripper. One of the two should work
As satisfying as it may have been, would it really have progressed BEMs cause to embarrass Baylan in public?
