Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
i have seen others post that you talk crap , its proven now, as regards a propaganda tour, I have been an engineer in generation for 40 odd years , it would be difficult to pull the wool over my eyes
End of conversation as far as i am concerned
They ship from Canada not California and you can quote all the pseudo science you want , but a clue to how much cleaner it is than 10 years ago is easily measured by the fact the windows cleaner quotes of the glory days when he came round every 2 weeks because of all the **** it threw out back then compared to his 6 weekly visits these days.
don't think we will be going back to burning nutty slack any time soon

Drax grows its own forests in Canada, planting and replanting on a massive scale, I live near Drax and it has changed beyond all recognition in the last 10 years , Bio Mass and Carbon capture being two of the biggest innovations. I have had the guided tour which as an engineer was fascinating, there is nothing disgraceful about it at all, they are very supportive of the local economy and as neighbours they take some beating . There is no noise , no fumes and mega millions spent on improvements not just within the plant itself , they have made two nature reserves locally from what used to be old **** heaps that are a joy to use , formed man made lakes, have Swan and Owl sanctuaries etc etc ,
Do some research yourself or better still take the guided tour and be amazed at the efforts that they put into the future of power generation , their next foray is into making electricity for all the batteries to be charged when we move away from fossil fuels in vehicles over the next few decades, exciting times as they say
Mines not frozen all trades showing up to the minute but I do have level 2
are also all over the place showing no trades , its not a problem with SXX
There is something wrong with the feed on LSE my L2 is all over the place with the whole portfolio not just SXX
Believe we are in auction though
For a quick look to see if any changed , nope , still the same sheet, only people making anything here are the BOD
Selling at 10 p down 30% at the minute
The Far end "What's occurring"
Iran bombs two ships, America moves aircraft carrier to the Gulf and 1000 troops, Iran shoots down $180 million drone over international waters and declares "it is ready for war" that will about do it for Gold , always goes up in these circumstances
Thanks , still recovering , prognosis is 8 to 12 weeks for double spinal, at least it proves I have one, copious supplies of Gabapentin and wine makes it bearable.
Daughter , husband and the grandkids on the way , taking us all for lunch later , so yes the day is looking good thanks
I had to read that several times !! and still did not get it really
Other than you appear to be confirming that at current salaries they will run out of money long before it has any chance of making a profit
Melody : You acknowledge that Frank has been at the company for 5 years, he should know the business inside out by now and should have had a clear idea of where it "should" be going when he ousted DB over 4 years ago.
evidence to date that he does or did up to present is zero in my view, any CEO or Chairman how after 4/5 years is still predicting losses is either clueless or just playing with shareholders cash
got cut off there :
I believe that he went because he did not see a future in it , again , hope I am wrong and I will have no regrets if I am.Ask yourself though , why are these people so reluctant to have an AGM ? I believe that it is because what they released yesterday would not stand close scrutiny although the presentation was very corporate , easy to do when you are sat on a big bundle of shareholders cash to spend
Hi cally
Not regretting it at all , and when I posted that I had I did say, and meant it, that I hope I am wrong for the LTH, I spread the cash out among companies that are already doing well for me and am happy with my decision.
"Its not unusual" Doh ! never heard that one before but what up and coming company , Frank has been in charge since the DB days when he did Jack sheet about the way the company was directed towards telecoms, its was Mark Braund that took us away from there before taking himself away permanently, I
No wonder they were in no hurry to publish these , big cash burn, over £1 million to the board alone, still loss making, and a whole bunch of padding in my view, hope I am wrong for those still stuck in here
Oh well , I have left it a couple of months after my last post before I popped back in for a look, had a brief look at the final results which pretty much says we have plenty of cash to spend gained by selling off companies bought with shareholders cash . But you are still making a loss with what you have left and two months on nothing has changed , although I would wager that more cash has been swallowed up by the BOD and others.
I had hoped you would have proved me wrong, but sadly not and I note that you appear not to want an AGM , don't blame you really , I think you would come in for a fair amount of "stick"
Shamefull
Sure the surgery will be fine , they are just trying to establish if I have a backbone, at least its feet up for a few weeks " pass me a drink will you darling, I am in terrible pain"
angels , yes wife and I have started Cash pots for both of them this year, plus there is the SXX pot that is for them (took a beating this week but I am sure it will come good) got to do something for them or you would just drink it all :-)
2 year old Thomas ? Ha they called him after me , flattered or what
ref the environment, its a case of "size does matter" we could shut everything down in the UK stop breathing and stop cows and sheep farting but we a very small island comparatively and it would have little if any effect on the future of the planet. USA , India , China and Russia, now that really is a lot of space taken up on the planet and not one of them takes a blind bit of notice of the Paris or Kyoto protocols so if the science is correct (and I am not a believer) then we are fubar.
Our lot just jump on the bandwagon and sanctimoniously appeal for taxes and funding on the back of it. But the snowflakes love it.
