Chill Fantasy TW in the position to hint at things the company cannot. The last thing the company will want to do is embarrass the government by making a fuss over how it has been badly treated by the ex minister and why, better to actually do the government a favour by not doing so and everyone getting behind getting TK over the line which I suspect will be a lot easier now.

From government and new mining minsters perspective they could do with some good news in the mining sector that TK go ahead can provide.

SB Harry has mentioned flexibility over the consortium and how much money parties can put in which was confirmed over the cost increase not even being blinked at by the consortium partners.

That is going to be even more true now as TK and kefi will get a windfall from the increased money from the offtake due to the increased gold price from memory think the Edision figures on TK were based around 1650 gold price

Doubt Artar will put money onto TK now as the JV has so many licence areas they will want there money to go there.

Was a bit about the saudi getting involved in international mining investment https://www.globalminingreview.com/mining/13012023/pif-and-maaden-enter-jv-agreement-to-invest-in-global-mining-assets/
But to early to say were thast money might be going.

Well its never boring here that you can say.

Yes discussion about bringing the TPLF and Tigray more fully back into the fold guess a week is a long time in politics.

Maybe he did not pay his taxes ;-) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11637345/Former-chancellor-Nadhim-Zahawi-pays-millions-settle-tax-row-probe-family-business.html

Minister only been there for a couple of years so harry cannot blame him for all of it but on the other hand maybe I have been over harsh on Harry over the last couple of years considering, if so I apologize.

On the bright side maybe nothing stopping this now cross-fingers.

Would expect signing months earlier than that maybe even in the next few of weeks as looks like only really one problem or person that was holding things up.
From kefis perspective needs to just be able to hold a pen and sign his name, short-term anyway.

TW article on share prophets and no i am not signed up to the site.

voxm arkets sorry missing bit.

Kefi been through just about everything in Ethiopia including four five or six mining ministers and never been closer than they are now Donkey and Ethiopia never needed the money that kefi and the International mining community can bring more than now.

From my long term read of the situation minister not so much moved because of whether he was corrupt or not but was a choke point and slowing down investment into the country.

Shareprice could well spike up Monday but that’s because things will now be speeding up without a speedbump. After Monday I expect many more days of share price climbs. If you do not maybe this share is not the one for you?

Sign off or good progress should be not far off now and I expect things to go faster under a new mining minister.

Think Ethiopia can copy and paste (as others can as well) what is happening in the KSA with the mining sector especially the speed of getting things done. Kefi is well positioned to be able to walk the new mining minister through developments there and help really get the mining sector motoring in Ethiopia. There is a huge opportunity here to impress the mining community that are watching what happens with Kefi and TK and the companies further operations in Ethiopia.

Sustainability and speed are key to fueling Saudi Arabia’s mining industry..

skeptics were doubtful about how a nation which has been dependent on oil for several decades could diversify its economy successfully.

And now, seven years on, the Kingdom has successfully ventured into a new realm of opportunities, with the mining sector in particular proving to be one of the Kingdom’s growing hubs.

international participation to bring more investments to Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih talked about how Saudi Arabia is becoming the perfect destination for companies to come and operate in the mining sector.

Extracts
With changes initiated by Hailemariam Desalegn and sustained by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD), gold was the best-performing export commodity, along with coffee and horticulture.
Takele Uma, who was appointed minister of mines, has been lauded for achieving a historic high in the mining industry, with gold exports exceeding USD 672 million two years ago. Under the minister, gold exports skyrocketed by 242 percent in 2020/21.
“A large volume of gold extracted from Ethiopia is being smuggled,” said Takele, affirming efforts are being exerted to discourage contraband. “We are forming a taskforce to take corrective measures.”
