With ARB in October Mining 2% more with 7% increase in difficulty and then in November they Mine 5% more despite increase in difficulty of 9% in makes you wonder if they are utilising Method A.
Now what would happen when Method B is utilized?

Going Forward
“Going forward, the Board has identified what it believes to be a sizeable opportunity in the development of an online sales platform for natural alternative third party products such as those already developed, marketed and sold under its own brands.
The Company expects to continue to expand the number of third party brands and external products sold via its Chill.com e-commerce marketplace website.
The Company is also focussed on the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of its range of nicotine-free vape products which launched during 2023. The Board believes that these products have very strong commercial potential and continues to expand its distribution of these products online and via retail stores in the US and UK.”

Board Members
I think we are shortly going to understand why FG appointed Mark Trafeli as non-executive director exactly one year ago.
“Mark is a lawyer qualified in England and Wales, California and New York. Based in London, he has extensive expertise in regulation, compliance and corporate governance. He is currently General Counsel for the Broadway Gaming Group, an enterprise in the online gaming sector with operations in multiple countries and licences from the Gambling Commission of Great Britain. He also maintains a private law practice that he established in 2008 advising on UK and USA-related financial services, stock exchange regulation, commercial contracts, M&A, corporate governance, compliance, and litigation.”
“Francesco Gardin, CEO and Executive Chairman commented: "I am pleased that Mark has joined our board, as a NED, bringing his extensive UK and US corporate experience. Moreover, having lived and worked in Italy, Mark is fluent in Italian, which is a great positive when working with the R&D team, part of which is based in the Milan area, and our Italian lawyers who are pursuing our current Italian litigation claims. As a lawyer, Mark has the perfect background to deal particularly with corporate governance, legal and regulatory matters. I look forward to an excellent working relationship."
Also why in September 2022 FG appointed Peter Fuhrman as non-executive director.
Peter has extensive experience in high-technology, semiconductors, finance and investment industries. Currently, Peter is chairman and chief executive of China First Capital which advises on and invests in the technology sector with expertise, inter alia, in China’s semiconductor industry.

Sale of Vapes to Leading UK Distributor
Chill Brands Group, the consumer packaged-goods distribution company, is pleased to announce that it has received an initial order for its Chill ZERO nicotine-free vapour products from the UK's largest category-specific distributor.
The Company has reached agreement for its products to be marketed and sold by Flawless, the leading distributor to category specialist vape stores in the UK. Flawless supplies over 5,000 wholesale accounts and has more than 50,000 active customers.
The arrangement is expected to significantly increase visibility of the Chill brand as its products become available to the thousands of business and retail customers that use the Flawless distribution platform.
Callum Sommerton, Chief Executive Officer of Chill Brands, said: "We are thrilled that our Chill ZERO range of nicotine-free vapes will be carried by Flawless, who are a dominant force in the UK vaping industry. This is another vote of confidence in our product range and we look forward to demonstrating that Chill ZERO is a serious challenger in the buoyant vape market."

Chill Zero Journey from Birth to 1 year old.
The journey of Chill Zero has really been one that’s occurred much faster and progressed much faster than we ever expected.
We began developing them during 2022 and we then delivered on that at the end of calendar quarter of 2023 when our products first went into the US market and since then we have been working with pilot retailers in that highly fragmented very large product market to develop data that we can use to go out to large retailers and say look this has legs. Customers will buy it.
What we’ve gleaned from those pilot schemes is there’s real popularity in the Zero nicotine market. A lot of people who are either heavy users of nicotine vapes already and want to reduce their intake or people who enjoy the sensation and don’t want to get addicted are looking for alternatives. So a lot of those people are either regularly ordering on www.chill.com now or are clearing the shelves of the pilot stores that we’ve activated in the US.
Fast forward a little bit to the summer of this year when we have launched in the UK, within two months of launch we have been able to sign a major retailer with WH Smith and others that are yet to come. Each shows that the popularity is there. It shows that we have product market fit that is why so many doors are opening for us, figuratively and literally.

I believe you know nothing, not even how anything of note on B.B.’s is communicated to the Company.
I have not read our B.B. for a few days now and only read it last night as a friend wanted me to comment on something you said.
I believe you think the Earth is flat.
If anyone who is invested in QBT or who is thinking of investing in QBT were to meet you in a pub and overheard you spouting utter tosh about the Earth being flat, would they invite you to join them?
To all genuine QBT shareholders, patience will be rewarded.

PS LtdAxis, have you spoken to Vladimir (Vlad) Kusznirczuk our Marketing and Business Development Manager? If you had you would not be posting the drivel you did yesterday. Do you want his contact details?
The above is not the complete list of our expansion, and I have not mentioned our Website that sells third party consumables. What we have is a business that is expanding rapidly and in a few years I believe our revenue will be comparable to Imperial Brands Plc Vape business.

PS We will be the next Fever-Tree.
Our Industry. Yesterday Imperial Brands Plc published their Annual Results. I know that Chill Brands Plc are not a tobacco company, but as our current focus is on Vapes, we should be aware of what “Our Industry” are up to.
Imperial Brands Plc have their main tobacco business and their “Next Generation Product” (NGP) which are vape, heated tobacco and oral nicotine.
Fortunately, within the Accounts they split out the Tobacco & NGP.
Within NGP there is their Vapes, but we do not have the figures for Vapes only NGP and for 2023 they had revenue of £220 million and this was an increase of 40.4% from the previous year’s £156 million. (This is for Europe)
When Callum publishes our Interim Results, we will only have 7 weeks of UK Vape sales. We will not be able to accurately extrapolate sales for the next 6 months because we are expanding so fast with sales of our Vape Products going into:
June 2023 “The Company has now secured relationships with specialist carriers and fulfilment providers that will facilitate the home delivery of its products to customers in all 50 US states.”
June 2023 “Commenced USA Pilot Stores in Colorado, Arizona, Florida and Texas.”
August 2023 “120 UK Retail Outlets from the initial launch.”
7th September 2023 “Further to the US launch of Chill Zero nicotine-free vapour products earlier in 2023, the Company has been working with pilot stores to establish product market fit and sales data. This pilot programme has resulted in the activation of select stores within the Colorado, Arizona, Florida and Texas markets.”
9th October 2023 “The Company will now see its Chill ZERO products enter an initial 150 of WHSmith's 1,700 stores. These first outlets are WHSmith UK travel stores located in airports, train stations and other high traffic hubs including Heathrow, Gatwick and Kings Cross Station. These areas benefit from an estimated combined daily footfall of more than 500,000 passengers per day.”
12th October 2023 “Chill Brands Group, the consumer packaged-goods distribution company, is pleased to announce that its Chill ZERO nicotine-free vapour products will launch on Amazon.co.uk this month.”
9th November 2023 “Chill Brands Group, the consumer packaged-goods distribution company, is pleased to announce that its Chill ZERO nicotine-free vapour products will launch on Vape Local (https://vapelocal.co.uk/)) this month.”
“Vape Local is one of the UK's leading wholesale websites for vaping products, serving a rapidly growing network of over 4,000 retail store accounts. In joining the site, Chill ZERO nicotine-free products will gain exposure to thousands of potential stockists spread across the entirety of the country.”

Good Morning Lyonsden
I have no idea when our share price will truly reflect the potential of our true worth.
There are not many shares available as they are tightly held by LTH.
What new investors may find interesting is the Share Options (RNS 11/09/23) where the Options exercisable at 4p in batches when the share price reaches 8p 16p 32p & 40p.
This gives me confidence that all Options will be exercised.
I have spoken to Callum on numerous occasions, and he has always had a clear vision of what had to be achieved to put Chill Brands Plc on a sound financial footing and then expand. This is being achieved as we Post.
One of the big Tobacco Companies is announcing their Annual Results tomorrow and I will be looking at what they have to say about the “Vaping Opposition” as we are their competitor, and I am sure they are aware they know who we are.

Good Morning Suthy
I will stick my neck out and say that the MM will let the QBT share-price find its true position, why? Because when QBT began talking to all the large BTC Miners in North America, they (the Large Miners) would look at how our current share-price does not compute with what they are seeing in their “testing” their “live testing”.

Aim Rule 26
Thanks Addisonshare for the update.
Clarification:
FG has not changed his shareholding; he still has 29,284,149 or 2.27%
Eufingest haven’t changed, they still have 86,279,102 or 6.68%
Bank of New York are back-on with approximately 135,239,682
The Placing was for 133,333,333 @ 1.5p
If Bank of New York only took the Placing, then they would be on at 10.33%
Now because QBT don’t really issue TR1’s you may find that a substantial shareholder has accumulated a lot of shares recently.

Will take 500,000 at 4.93p

ComTruise the Troll
For about 22 months ComTruise has been Trolling me so I have to visit him at Atlantic Lithium.
I note that since the last time he decided to save shareholders where I posted, your own share-price is down about 20% why is this?
Is you share-price down because:
Keith Muller CEO has no shares in your Company?
Is you share-price down because:
Kieran Daly BOD has no shares in your Company?
Is you share-price down because:
Christelle van der Merwe has no shares in your Company?
Or could it be that your share-price is down because:
Patrick Brindle only has shares worth about £23,000?
When ComTruise the Troll refrains from trolling I will refrain from posting on your B.B.
RKB
Good Morning ComTruise
You obviously have an issue with a Company that is going places.
Are you still in Atlantic Lithium?
Do you want me to visit Atlantic Lithium again and save all their shareholders? What was their share-price on the 8th September 2023? You probably have forgotten, it was about 26p what is it today? Around 21p that’s a fall of about 20%.
If you continue to Troll here, I will visit Atlantic Lithium and save their shareholders.
Enjoy your day.
