Hopefully she has also been asking them the same in relation to her energy ccrisis!! :)

"Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday (3 April) sought Chinese cooperation for the development of the southern region of the country, an official said.

“I want China to help Bangladesh for further economic development of the region,”she told Chinese Ambassador in Dhaka Yao Wen after he called on her at her official residence Ganabhaban."

I can't wait to get back the whole transcript of the latest YouTube video.... I have a feeling its going to be very positive discussions about Phulbari ;)

https://www.youtube.com/live/8dkeTN0cuds?si=97SCAz5fpLKvYcN-

I did say at the weekend that imho I expected to now see a lot more articles mentioning Phulbari and Open Pit Mining, because i believe that its now into the final stages and is now all about the final bit of PR.... lets see

“Coal Resources High Time to Utilize the Cheaper Energy”

IN summary, this video discusses Phulbari and open pit mining all the way through it, and from what I can make out the interviewer, Mollah (editor Energy and Power Magazine) is discussing with Mushfiq Rahman (mining engineer) and Kamrulzamman (Barapukuria head)

• Feasibility studies,

• Resettlement of the people

• Compensation

• Land acquisition

• Water studies and proven technology

• They do briefly discuss about all five mines in Bangladesh

• But they come back to discuss about Phulbari and open pit mining all the way through it.

I am now having a friend of mine translate the interview, but initial thoughts are that it is positive discussion towards open pit mining!!

Sounds like the voices for “Open Pit Mining at Phulbari” are getting louder!!

I am taking it as a positive as well because of the title of the video,

“Coal Resources High Time to Utilize the Cheaper Energy”

Also discussing about the water studies and proven technology …. Again, even if you do not understand the language you can here them discussing about Phulbari and open pit mining throughout the video…

So they do briefly discuss about all five mines in Bangladesh, but all the way through the video they come back to discuss about Phulbari and open pit mining …

It’s also discussing about compensation and land acquisition …

I’m going to try and get this video translated, but you only have to listen for yourselves to see how many times Phulbari open pit mining is discussed, as well as, feasibility studies, and resettlement of the people is discussed…..

The situation is the same over the whole country effecting households and businesses alike!!

“Residents of Savar and Ashulia report experiencing significantly more load shedding this year compared to the same period last year”

“Industrial production and the lives of residents have been hit hard in Savar, Dhamrai and Gazipur areas by a sudden increase in load shedding in electricity supply amid rising temperature.

The industry owners and residents of the areas have reported that they have been experiencing five to seven hours power outage daily for the last few days. ”

Back to facts and reality!!!!

“The first significant heatwave of this summer has exposed yet again the fragility of Bangladesh’s power sector, with power generation lagging far behind demand.

Over the first two days of the hottest month, April, electricity demand soared along with the temperature, triggering up to 10 hours of power cuts in parts of Bangladesh.”

“Over 80 per cent of the coal-based power generation capacity of 5,036MW will be used, the Power Cell plan proposes, generating 4,100MW of the evening peak.

Coal will meet 23.42 per cent of the evening peak power demand.”

“The government had initially promised not to roll out power cuts unannounced but failed to keep the promise because the shortage was far greater than expected.”

Jollychippy, it’s because he is shorting the stock lol, he basically admitted to that last week, I’m sure that he probably wants a better entry price as well :)

Jamesss, you say …

“We need to accept that Hasina has been against this for 20 years.Its going to take alot of pressure from the energy sector for her to do an about turn.”

Please tell me that you don’t believe that things are not different now and that for many many reasons the whole position within the energy situation has not totally changed in GCM’s favour!

Slightly off topic of coal ......

"It is absurd that the state-run Coal Power Generation Company Bangladesh Limited (CPGCBL), which is constructing the Matarbari power plant in Cox's Bazar, has imported two pipe cutters for Tk 93 lakh. While inspecting its shipment, custom officials have also found the price of two German-made hammers being shown as Tk 1.82 lakh. However, on the German company's website, the same items were discovered to be priced at Tk 1,668 (for each hammer) and Tk 7,232 (for each pipe cutter) respectively. This means that the CPGCBL has shown an inflated price of 55 times more for the hammers and 642 times more for the pipe cutters."

Jamesss, I think that is really unfair to say that....

"you're not allowed to ask questions like that here unfortunately."

Most shareholders have been more than happy to offer their knowledge and their research to those that ask.. Politely ;))

That's 3 more 100k delayed trades this afternoon... just saying ;)

Looks like we may even possibly finish blue today at this rate .....

Professional, we have had 2.1 mil traded today, of which nearly 900k is taken in 6 trades ... That tells its own story imo ...

These are just some of the delayed trades showing, .... this is not small volume, and would indicate that the support has been reached ......
