None of this of course however worrying will affect the outcome and success of the drill only the short term sp.
TP

Pranchlee, not suggesting for a sec that proving up is irrelevant, just its time to get the mine up and running.
The pipeline will take a year+ by most accounts so not imminent .
Even 3p by early summer is a multi bag from here and even that is well short of what many lths have paid.
Given that i`ll keep my powder dry but dont in principal disagree just a tad more cautious maybe.
TP

Proving up the resource will only get us so far. I think most people are now aware that we sit on a pile of Ta.
Perhaps we now need to concentrate on the infra structure to get this mine up and running.
TP

Surely the never ending JORC will have (hopefully) extended the 8 year time frame considerably?
If not we`re doomed.
TP

Pranchalee, I`ll try , new thread, Cesium was getting tedious.
Apparently we have a licence to extract water from the Orange river. if so why have`nt we financed the start of this obviously vital requirement through third party involvement or a specific cash raise or by trading arm revenue . or are we half way to the mine already?
Still messing about with bore holes but surely thats just a sticking plaster.
Thoughts?
TP

And I`ve been shafted too many times on AIM to take the slightest thing for granted.
The fence is where I`ll stay.
TP

Well, LJ I trust. He appears a genuine bloke. Respected within the industry and very astute in his field.
GC, a different beast. history of building a business and selling on at sometimes huge profits.
I do`nt have a problem with that per se . If I benefit .
GC and tracata lurking in the background , so perhaps ultimately they may not be singing off the same hymn sheet.
TP

Animal,
My point (perhaps badly put) is that we are truly vulnerable because whatever the potential ,sp wise we`re so miniscule that anyone seeing a jot of potential will come calling.
Perhaps the ongoing lack of "figures" is LJ`s way of maintaining a degree of security. I`ll settle for that.
TP

Just got in, Lively old bb here today,like it, except when it gets too personal.
I`ve been sitting on the fence here, keen not to ramp or deramp, and happy to read all views as most people post decent arguments.
My overall view FWTW is that should LJ turn this around into a viable business we`ll have a for sale notice up pretty quickly.
Current sp values this company as small change to the big boys so you can be sure they do`nt yet see enough to start a bidding war.
LJ is much respected in the industry and if he manages to turn this into a viable mine with an ongoing Ta stream then we`ll all be quids in.
Until then I`ll continue my position on the fence.
G&T time,
TP

Anyway,early night, I`m on a roof tomorrow , don`t ask!
Good to chat to everyone today.
TP

Not sure this company follows that agenda regarding news updates but I may be wrong.
TP

TJ,
Why June specifically ?
TP

The usual caveat applies here ie some figures would be nice!!
TP

Interested to hear peoples thoughts on this.
Has this been created just to give us a revenue stream to get the mine serviceable and operational?
Will it end up creating more revenue than the mine itself.
More importantly perhaps. Do we as shareholders "own it" or is it a subsidiary where the proceeds can be siphoned off for GC and his cronies?
TP

Mr C,
Completely understand your view, We`re all in the dark.
Merely trying to keep the ball rolling that`s all.
Accepted its concrete and all uphill but will continue to do my bit however tame.
TP

Animal
Thanks,
Henceforth I will try to post something on a daily basis, However vacuous !!
TP

I know its like pulling teeth but really appreciate all input here.
We need to keep this bb active and moving on a daily basis.
Dont know why really but good for the soul I think.
Our collective output is about as forthcoming as this company( so not very)
If we all all blow together we may topple a few dominoes.
No idea what that was about but needed to say it.
silly rant over.
TP

We all know nothing if we`re honest so let`s not fall out over it because in reality we`re all in the dark.
Have a great weekend everyone.
TP

I`m all in.
No guts, no glory.
TP

I`m certainly not an oil expert so perhaps I`m missing the point but given that most here (I assume) are in until the drill is concluded. Why are so many concerned with the sp pre spud, as its surely largely irrelevant.
What matters is do we end with sludge or the black stuff.
Between now and then I`m not selling and I guess most others are`nt either.
