I wonder if there’ll be enough money left over from the raise to send share holders a “I got suckered by TLOU” car bumper sticker?

BS.
Got to say Sciatica is horrendous. Hope it goes soon.
I think now the problem we have is all the if’s, but’s, maybe’s, could’ve, should’ve, have, have nots over a longer period of time than originally planned has caused many problems and a percentage of share holders are or becoming disillusioned.
I must admit I thought we would be close to or in production by now so I’m a bit disillusioned especially when I look at my other share, Helium One, in Tanzania performing so well.
Anyway. Meds time.

mrmoagi.
Could it be that back in 2006/08 cbm was seen as the future to electricty production over coal fed power stations? Yet here we are now only 15 years later and gas is now considered as “dirty” as coal.
Countries are not talking about cutting emissions now but going totally zero carbon free. So what looked great 15 years ago is no longer plausible now?
If you’re from the silly side of the fence I must be in the clown enclosure lol
Here's to a RNS before I die so at least I know what happened to Tlou either way. lol

That’s my top up for 7,000 @ 23.96p.
That’ll teach the Wife ta fall asleep and leave me unsupervised.
Good luck all.

BS.
£5:14?
If we go to the Booze Buster shop we can get 2 x 2 litre bottles of white lightening cider.

mrmoagi.
Do you think this will be the same speech as per 7 months ago about fast tracking development companies in Bots? If this is Moagi’s idea of fast tracking it fills me with total fear if they were to take their time. lol

mrmoagi.
I’m thinking of organising a £5 party. We can put the purchases on BS’s credit card and I won’t have to cash in my 12 (twelve) shares that I have busked so hard for.
BS doesn’t pay interest because the balance is cleared at the end of the month so it’s WIN WIN all round.
I’m expecting a massive response so book early to avoid disappointment.

BS.
I’m to poor and my credit rating so bad I’m not lucky enough to qualify for a credit card. I am currently putting in extra hours busking to raise funds to buy extra shares though. I so admire what a big boy you are to be so disciplined and affluent to pay your credit card off every month. Maybe you should write a book passing on all your wisdom so us lesser mortals can learn from such a messiah.
Got to go because a policeman is coming and I’ve not got my busking licence….

mrmoagi.
Great recovery at the end of that last post, culminating in positivity.
Think you did enough to stay off the negative nelly naughty list.
I’m hoping this stays at 2.2p until the end of the month when I get paid so I can top up again. I shouldn’t really but at these crazy low prices it’s hard not too.

Whizzer.
I reckon we should change the name of the company.
Bin Tlou and do a rebrand under the new name “FALSE DAWNS”
The company slogan can be “We promise so much. Deliver so little”
What you think?
Think I might on BS’s negative naughty list for that post.

BS.
If we all keep posting positive posts like you said we won’t need Virgin or Elon for daily flights to the moon, we’ll just be able to ride the rising SP.
I can see this multi bagging soon. Wish I had more money to buy shares but it’s all tied up elsewhere.

mrmoagi.
Now now, that’s a bit negative. BS says only positive posts allowed from now on so the SP can go to the moon.
Wouldn’t want to be out of this over the weekend because when the RNS drops this is going to fly. I reckon £5 on my super positive figures.

Whizzer.
Well, you have it straight from the horses mouth. If we’re all like Ren & Stimpy with the happy happy joy joy the share price would be 50p now.
My, what a wonderful sunny day……..

Whizzer.
I invested in Tlou in January 2019 with a 2 to 3 year multi bagger in mind. I will be truly amazed if that happens.
Like BS with TG I used to totally believe in a CEO called Chris Frazer from Sirius. I totally, 100% believed he wouldn’t let us down and everything was gonna be a bed of roses. We all know what happened.
The CEO of GVC, now entain, who ramped up the company and the share price in the quarterly update and then dumped his 12 1/2 million shares on the market 2 days later. Share price crashed.
The CEO of Plus 500 Ltd who “hid” a £120M black hole in the finances and then blamed it on a “clerical error.” The share price crashed.
TG’s silence on all the major decisions he has made/not made, for me, is as bad as the other 2. And yes, for me again, the price has crashed because of it.
We can research a company and it’s BOD and the country it is based in until we die. What we can’t research is a CEO or government’s mind that make these type of decisions that cause chaos.
When I first invested in Tlou I thought with TG’s experience this would go relatively smoothly in an African country that was stable and relatively reliable. I had 100% faith this was a great investment with tremendous prospects. Now I’m thinking it could, not will, but could go breasts up.

Downtoearth.
Back after doing the shopping for the England game tonight.
What I was trying to establish is what is actually being done to obtain financing to progress the dewatering and getting to commercial flow gas?
I know TG is wanting the Bots Govt to provide it but how long is he prepared to wait to get their approval? Way to long in my opinion.
Going back to when they stalled, capped or whatever else Tlou did after finding out the dewatering was going to take longer than expected with just the 3 wells, would it have not made sense to go to the Bots Govt and say ‘I need the financing and I need it now to drill more wells to dewater at a faster rate than we can currently go if you as a country want to succeed in the CBM industry.’
If the Bots Govt then said ‘we require proof that CBM works before supplying finance or said we’re not providing financing, why didn’t TG just do a fund raise through dilution? Then he could have drilled more wells, dewatered faster, got the gas flows, get the financing if it was on offer and crack on and the share price would have risen into the bargain for another fund raise for the next stage if finance wasn’t on offer.
TG did a fund raise for poles and wires 5 months ago so why not when he REALLY needed to to progress at a critical stage?
It doesn’t make sense to me. I know covid has played it’s part but, like I’ve said, Tanzania are just up the road and Helium One have been very busy since JANUARY.
Something is not adding up and I think it is about time TG put out a RNS telling all the share holders what exactly is going on, wether it is good or bad.

Bradsmith.
Tlou has been an “opportunity” since it started and we are all reminded of how good the “opportunity” is in every quarterly/half yearly/ yearly update. Yet that is all Tlou are after all these years and fund raiser’s and licence’s gained. An “opportunity.” No good having all the licence’s if your not going to progress.
You say you only persevere because you are thinking of potential investors who will read this board and all they will see is criticism if we all keep quiet on our support.
I agree, factual post’s wether negative or positive are good for a board IMO.
Your views however are speculative, you don’t know for sure that any of the options will “eventually succeed” do you? Just like I don’t know as to why the REAL REASON CBM hasn’t progressed and solar hasn’t progressed and now Tlou are looking at hydrogen. That however is down to TG/Tlou’s reluctance to engage share holders in company information and what is or isn’t happening.
Does anybody know how the dewatering is going or if they intend to increase or decrease the process? Does anybody know if we have commercial gas flow yet or if they expect to or not?
I’ll do with my shares what I want to do with them. I may sell them or I may keep them and watch them go to zero after being diluted to death paying for TG’s wages for the next 10 years. Or maybe by then we will have moved into the tourist sector and we might at least be generating an income.
Most won’t enter a debate with a fool but a fool will enter a debate with most.

Bradsmith.
A decade with no income?
Yeah, no income, just a decade of diluting shareholders money while achieving ……… ????
This isn’t a share for the bottom drawer, as they say, more like bury it in a time capsule.

mrmoagi.
The quarterly report will be a cut and paste job of “the potential of Tlou in Botswana.”
Just waiting for the day when a RNS drops saying we are moving to North Africa to set up a plant to process sand because there’s a shortage of building supplies around the world.
Could do with TG and BOTS GOVT looking at Helium One and Tanzania Government blueprint on how to work together to achieve an outcome that benefits everybody.
They have not achieved their goal yet and might not but the way they have both conducted themselves on developing the business is exemplary.
Unfortunately Tlou and Bots Govt are at the opposite end of exemplary.

I’ve been following this share since it was 20p ish and very nearly invested at 12p and 8p. I did have a small holding at 2.5p last November and cashed out at 4p. Lot of share holders here were not so lucky and have lost a lot of money both materially and paper. For me, this company has been ruled by selfish, arrogant and ignorant idiots and the share holders have deserved a whole lot better.
It looks like today is a victory for those long suffering share holders and I hope all the BOD not only get sacked but never get employed again.
Good luck to all invested and I hope the SP gets back into double figures.

Thanks for the post myoung.
The times and that other financial ‘advisor’ the motley idiot love to assassinate companies like HE1. Especially the motley idiot who changes his opinion more often than my Wife when she’s buying a pair of shoe’s.
I would like to say that I think a RNS will drop on Thursday but the speed DM and the team are operating at (think Queen and Don’t Stop Me Now) it will probably be tomorrow lol
Good luck all.
