Any where near that level Wookie I'd be a happy man. Would make my COPL loss melt away.

Still think Mr Cotter and Co can pull that rabbit out of that hat...

Hmmm...getting a bit hot in here now.

GP. I guess the kerfuffle was more to do with my timing than what was written.

Nowt wrong with Digit or his information he is a great sleuth. But let's move on propelling a negative thread...

They do seem to be moving in the right direction which can only be good for GCM.

No mystery the post was not taken down....

As for ADVFN it's not for me. Most of the better research is on here. (The Christronaldo character needs sectioned.) And didgit seems OK but a little oversensitive. I don't bare grudges

Dear people of Bangladesh,

We have been ravaged by our own corrupt politicians who have 'curried' favour with India for the last 20 years. We have been buying poor quality coal often classed as "wet rocks" and try to feed our power plants with this sub standard material. We have signed up to coal import contract that mean we pay double the international price for coal. This coal can be shipped from half way across the world impacting supply chain C0" emissions.

Praise Allah for the English... they want to help us develop our own coal fields working hand in hand with China to give us a stable energy supply that will save us millions, and help greatly with the national effort to move away from 3rd world status.

VOTE BNP....VOTE FOR COAL

Have read of this document comparing all the coal fields in Bangladesh.

Phulbari is the lead contender as has the backing of our partner Power China.

No 5 on todays leader board, Fridays news is gradually leaking out??

Now the fun begins....

One left at 7.5.. slowly slowly

Let's see how it lines up tomorrow.

Ut @6.9. So could open at 6.5. Showing slightly down,

But given the live news since Friday prayer, that BNP will use own coal is pretty compelling. The subsequent local reporting confirmed his, speech....

What is also compelling is the readiness status of GCM asset compared to the other -much deeper- coalfields. Non of which has the backing of PC.

In perspective, and appreciating the 20 year haul the LTH have endured here , In F1 terms the grid has formed, last red light remains on. The crowd has assembled. Late entry tickets were devoured last week!

By all accounts the race is about to begin 😉

Well, the chaise longue has been vigorously examined and a surprising haul has been discovered.

Prey Allah will create some rockets here tomorrow and we can all celebrate with an English made Indian curry or Chinese if it so humours you.....

GLA hold tight!!

Great document from Digit on how Phulbari compares to other coal fields in country.

Heart rate 8am Monday will be slightly up....

Your post made me recall a statement made to me at the AGM from Mr Shackleton.

He said something along the lines of...When this grows into a proper mining company he thought he would be moved on as he would not have the skills to run a mining company....

Well by all accounts this could quickly move into a fully fledged mining company.

Building a supercritical coal-fired power station typically takes between 4 and 7 years from the initial planning stages to final commissioning and connection to the grid.

The actual construction phase—from the first pouring of concrete to full-load operation—usually takes approximately 3 to 4 years (about 36 to 48 months), depending on factors such as site location, regulatory environment, and project management efficiency.

Key factors affecting the construction timeline include:

Construction Speed: In regions with high construction capacity, such as China, projects can be completed in around 3 years, with recent projects reaching commissioning within 36 to 48 months.

Capacity and Technology: Larger, more advanced, or Ultra-supercritical (USC) plants may take longer to build due to more complex engineering requirements. A 1,000 MW ultra-critical plant in Korea, for example, estimated a construction duration of 64 to 68 months.

Planning and Permitting: The time before construction—including feasibility studies, environmental reviews, and site preparation—can add several years to the total project timeline.

For comparison, newer, advanced Ultra-supercritical plants are focusing on even higher efficiency, with projects like China's Pingshan Phase II setting new standards in speed and efficiency.

Thanks Much Appreciated.

And here's me googling hourly rates for political speech writing...

Nothing on the inside..(hmmmm would wife who is niece of prominent Bangladesh politician count)

Just wait until he rocks up to Phulbari village hall and spouts on about super critical highly efficient power generation....

Common sense seems to be prevailing.

Own coal now being publicly mentioned.

Chin Chin.

It was meant as a humorous post.

'curried' favour with India.

Praise Allah for the English.

Nobody should of seen it as anything more than (a poor attempt) at humour.

I do regret posting it.

Fair comments. Looks like my attempt at some humour badly failed...

I am sorry for upsetting anybody.

I will self exile for a couple of days

Wow that was deleted pretty quick.

Yes it was a "tongue in cheek" comment. Surely nobody would believe Tarique would say such words
