'We view 2021 as a potential breakout year for the highly prospective Beetaloo Basin'

'The data compiled to date from the Company’s Tanumbirini #1 well and vertical frac indicates that horizontal wells in the Beetaloo Basin’s Middle Velkerri Shale Formation have potential to be on par or better than wells in the core Marcellus Shale, currently the most prolific unconventional gas shale play in North America.'

London | The big miners' dash for more climate-friendly commodities will make it harder for mid-tier miners to muscle their way into deals or snap up assets, South32 CEO Graham Kerr has warned.

Competition is heating up as companies such as BHP, Rio Tinto, Glencore and Anglo American look to focus more on the materials that will power renewable energy and battery technology, such as nickel, copper, cobalt and...........

Why now?

'SolGold has recently completed a Corporate Governance Roadshow to meet with investors to provide feedback and updates on changes and developments still to come. SolGold is continuing on its journey toward compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code and is adjusting and implementing new policies to its remuneration function, internal policies and Committees of the Board. These changes are currently in progress and will better align Executive remuneration to organisational performance.'

'SolGold is continuing on its journey toward compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code'. In other words we're not compliant. Not sure how relevant that is to SOLG's investment case.

BHP, Rio Tinto among miners bracing for Chile instability. 21 Oct 2020

Miners are braced for years of political instability in Chile, the world’s biggest copper-producing nation, which is holding a constitutional referendum that could lead to higher taxes.

The country is due to vote on Sunday on whether and how to replace the Pinochet-era constitution. Opinion polls predict a vote in favour of rewriting it. The vote is being held in the wake of civil unrest a year ago, the anniversary of which resulted in renewed rioting in Santiago last weekend.

The big four London-listed global mining groups - BHP, Rio Tinto, Glencore and Anglo American - all have operations in Chile, while their fellow FTSE 100 constituent Antofagasta is wholly based in the country.

Chile produces almost 30 per cent of the world’s copper, which is in higher demand with the shift to electric vehicles and green energy.

Tyler Broda, of RBC Capital Markets, said that there was “a period of instability coming” and that the poll “could increase concerns around Chile as an investment destination”.

'Supply could be under further pressure depending on the outcome of a constitutional referendum in Chile this Sunday. Chile is the world’s largest copper producer, from mines owned by BHP, Glencore, Anglo American and Antofagasta. Miners could face higher taxes or tighter controls on their rights over water if Chile’s constitution is rewritten, according to analysts.'

Resource nationalism in Chile can only help SOLG's assets in Ecuador if BHP come under stress through higher taxes, higher costs and further attacks on miners in Chile. Ecuador will welcome them with open arms

God forbid the Trojan Horse Biden achieves POTUS. Those pulling his strings are utterly racist in their stance and their hatred of white people is now in the US is without precedent. Their support for the revolutionary Marxist BLM now using racial identity as their weapon of divide and conquer rather than social class is pure Hitlerism, Germany, 1929.

Trump's no politician but then that's his appeal. He tells it as it is and the slimy, duplicitous Globalist political class both in the UK and in the west hate that as it exposes their anti-nation state, anti-democratic, authoritarian agenda

under pressure.

fair do's fellas...clarity emerges from discourse, sometimes!

Yes, but they're not employees and their function does not extend to the day to day running of the company. It is an official company position subject to corporate law regarding responsibilities to check the exex directors and protect the interests of all stakeholders...So, no they're not consultants in a formal sense but yes, they are in the sense they provide advice and consultation when needed

I still think BHP is involved somewhere along the line!! :)

INEDs are not employees and their services are hired for accountability, guidance and public relations purposes

rk1 - that settles it..I tried to access Linkedin but it wouldn't let me in so sourced the now incorrect info from marketscreener....apologies, my incompetence but thanks for the clarification

add - Well he's recorded as being a BHP employee on marketscreener but then on Bloomberg it's recorded that he left BHP in 2018 so god knows what the truth is. What is undeniable is that he did work for BHP and all the rest is speculation

well done

switching from GGP to SOLG has cost me £70k, 70 feckin' grand...head wrecker

depressing as feck

that chart looks bad ffs. every piece of positive news has led to a fall in the price...only a value releasing transaction will change market perception of this stock..it's a joke

Mather is on record as saying he doesn't like JVs as they involve hefty dilution ie cash upfront for a heft slice of the concession...it's destructive

someone doesn't want this stock to move up..who?

tks to MKnight on adv-fn
