Well someone has the faith and just bought 500,000 at 8.80 :)

YKIR, I’m guessing you sold a few first thing, which is why your shouting so loudly now because your desperate for the price to drop ….

Relax man, you’ll give yourself a heart attack 😂😂

Offer slowly being taken up,….. 9.30 now

I’m sure imo that most of this placing would have been pre-sold into the market, much like the 6p placing was, so am hoping that there is not that much of an overhang left, there will also be those that are hanging back to buy until they see a more definite picture tomorrow of the winning party in the election….

For what’s it’s worth, although this placing was not expected and obviously I would of preferred not to have had it, I do see it as a positive moving forward and to me, knowing that are cash position was already very strong for well into 2027 should no progress be made, by having this placing now, I see it as a big positive…. Maybe Gary needs a bigger office, and more staff for what’s coming in the short term 😉

GL all

A week ago on Level 2 we had 5 MM's ....... We now have 7 ..... Why the increase,... are they expecting to be extra busy??

So, before the recent placing at 6p for 1 million, we know we had enough money to last until about June / July 2026, so we had enough to last until well in to 2027, so I am taking it that with this new F/R 8p we must be very close to some big news where they need some extra cash for lots of admin…

There’s only one reason in my mind why they need this extra money, and I am very positive

GL all

Not long now, good luck BNP, not that I think you need it 🤞

The long night before decision day

As Bangladesh enters the long night before decision day, anticipation and quiet tension hang over the country, with millions of voters preparing to head to the polls tomorrow in the 13th parliamentary election – an exercise set to determine the nation’s political course for the next five years after a 17-year gap in competitive national voting.

The election is widely seen as a defining moment in Bangladesh’s democratic journey, following years of political unrest and the July mass uprising that culminated in the collapse of the authoritarian Sheikh Hasina-led government on 5 August 2024.

Across cities, towns and rural communities, people from all walks of life are expressing rare enthusiasm, many describing the election as a long-awaited opportunity to vote freely in a festive atmosphere.

Replying to a question about coal mining, he said that the government avoided taking a new coal mining project, as many movements were staged in the last one and a half year.

However, the necessary feasibility study was prepared for the future government, he said.

"The economy has been destroyed," he said, accusing the ousted government of neglecting ordinary citizens.

"The health system has been destroyed in the last regime, the energy sector has been destroyed".

Good to see that he highlights energy as a top priority!!

Energy sector could change in 2-3 years if roadmap followed: Fouzul

Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan today said the interim government has prepared the ground and if the roadmap is followed by the next government, the energy sector’s landscape could change within the next two to three years.

Although you could argue that we have come from a share price of 6p on the 28th Jan to 10.45p today, so are just taking a breather before the next step up 😉

Zeroing energy bills biggest success for interim govt: Fouzul Kabir

No decisions were taken on coal-based energy projects, leaving those to the elected government, he added.

On his final working day, the adviser said he would leave behind a written guideline for the next minister in charge. “I did not receive any roadmap when I took office. But the next person should know where to start and which direction to move in.”

Careful digit, you will be getting banned again mate ... I've already had this removed once already today .. What sado would keep on trying to have it removed just because they don't think its an official GCM website ... I'd have thought that was kind of obvious, but it is very informative and relevant to GCM / Phulbari ....

Realisation and the urgency of the energy situation smacking them straight in the face. A new government has no time to waste before taking decisions!!

Bangladesh’s energy bind casts a long shadow over industry, growth and the February vote!

As such, whichever party comes out on top in the election, the next administration will have limited room for manoeuvre and little time to lose. Decisions taken soon after the ballots are counted will determine whether Bangladesh can stabilise its energy system - or not.

In the two days left before the polls open therefore, voters must give serious consideration to energy security, which, although once treated as a long-term concern, has now become an immediate test of economic management.

China set to widen footprint in Bangladesh as India's ties decline

China's influence in Bangladesh, boosted by the 2024 ouster of New Delhi‑aligned leader Sheikh Hasina, is likely to deepen after this week's election, although politicians and analysts say India is too large a neighbour to be sidelined completely.

Shame we finished level today, especially after all the weekend news, but If we have got an institution buying at the moment, then they have played a blinder today. If they are buying, then it’s probably through the MM’s PEEL and SCAP, because they have both just sat on the bid between them all day taking any sells sold into them, and most of the day PEEL sat on the offer not letting it rise, so in total control…

By doing this they have left Pi’s deflated tonight because most thought we were going to have a great rise, so will that mean that again tomorrow they’ll manage to get a few more sells in the morning by those Pi’s that have bought in not knowing the real story, before those sells dry up and the MM’s are once again forced to take us up, to get the sells they require to fill their order?

Times running out for them now ….

Just thoughts 🤷‍♂️

New energy policy, same challenges: Bangladesh needs an inclusive approach

The EPSMP 2025 envisages that the country’s primary fuel imports will fall below 50 percent, based on the assumption that Bangladesh will produce around 24 million tonnes of domestic coal in 2050, ramping up current local production of around 0.6 million tonnes per annum by 40 times. Given the limited availability of global financing for coal mining, setting up new power plants reliant on local coal could increase import dependence.

Jeezz Grundles … and your point is??

Not sure why your posting info from 2006 / 2007…

Try and keep up, if you had not noticed, quite a lot has changed since then, and especially in the last 12 months, and apart from the country very much needing Phulbari to go ahead, if you had not noticed, the hopeful new government, the BNP I also wants it to happen, and though the great work GCM has been doing on the ground in Phulbari the people of Phulbari actually want the project to go ahead as well …

This has obviously been highlighted recently through the election campaigns, but if you really want to look at history, look back to a few years ago when anti Phulbari mine protesters entered Phulbari, and were actually chased out of the area by the locals ….

Oh how times change …. 😅
