Hi Yogi,

You might have missed this but Botswana Diamonds pivoted away from diamonds at the end of Feb and are now called Botswana Minerals, chasing copper in Botswana now rather than diamonds.

Hi Donal,

I think at one stage people were able read posts on LSE without having a registered account, the timing of Nov. 2020 may relate to when people then had to sign up to read posts?

Another bit of intrigue. With all the volume over the last few weeks. Why no trades on the other exchange?

Can’t believe I had to come back and talk to you again L. This will be a short one today though, as much fun as yesterday was.

Re: Kalaba, you basically left out a lot of context in your quote from the Feb 2021 IC – ‘The lack of available high grade material meant it could not be run economically. The key reason ARCM entered Zambia was to progress the very exciting exploration footprint. The plant was half constructed when the Company entered Zamsort.’

I mean, that’s pretty simple for anyone to understand, we had to complete the plant as it was part of the terms of the licence, but really what we were interested in was the exploration licences, but one came with the other etc. You understand that don’t you Charles?

Also from the same IC, in response to the 7th question regarding a plant at CE – ‘Yes there has been progress, we have been talking to a partner with proprietary technology and it looks encouraging. However, we haven’t wasted much time on this issue as the discussions we are having do not involve the construction of any plant. Therefore, we have put the plans for a plant on the back burner given discussions and the priorities of our potential future partner.’

And at no stage does Nick say in that call that he envisages going into production into 2022. You are telling porkies L.

Got to do better L, have a good one!

PS: 6 holes Muswema, 9 holes Fwiji, now go count Cheyeza

Read the first line of my 14.48 post again L, I imagine you can, just about, read?

As much as this is fun watching you racking up the Ls, I have been told to take it easy on your for now. Try not play with the buses while I am away Charles.

That's another shocking L right there Charles. There is a note on Qualified Persons on each RNS. FFS do I have to teach you everything?!

And oddly enough, I know exactly how many holes were drilled at Cheyeza, but it took me a hell of a lot of work to put it all together so you can go do that yourself!

You aren't L well at all.

Let me just remind you again what Nick was saying about you “I sympathise because it’s not an easy game, the exploration game and the geological game, for people who are not in the business to understand.”

Surely you have worked out that discussions with Anglo put an end to any talk of a plant at CE Bukowski?!

Here is a little something for you L!

2nd May 2024 IC – this is in the first 2 mins – Nick states drilling will likely be through to circa December.

7th Nov 2024 IC circa 4 mins – ‘and as we speak, we are drilling at this latest target, even as the rain sets in. It is logistically in a very good place, quite close to a main road there and so we may well be able to drill much longer than we thought we would’

Circa 28 mins Vas says “So what I did observe when I was out there a couple of weeks ago was that the drilling contractor had one of these, I guess, one of these snowmobiles with a conveyer belt type tyres. So, I’m assuming with that they obviously plan to drill into the rainy season and how far they go, time will tell.”

DRILL INTO THE RAINY SEASON, NOT THROUGH!

Just before the 20min mark Nick is talking to you Bukowski “I sympathise because it’s not an easy game, the exploration game and the geological game, for people who are not in the business to understand.”

No need to thank me again L!

L u do know what Stratigraphic drilling is? It was mentioned quite a few times during a number of ICs.

It’s called research by the way!

FFS after taking the L I would have thought you would have read my posts.

The rainy season in North-Western Zambia generally runs from November to April, with the wettest months being December, January, and February. This period is characterized by significant rainfall, making it the "Emerald Season" when landscapes are lush. The rains start earlier and end later compared to other parts of Zambia.

Here's a more detailed look:

November to April: This is the wet season, with most of the annual rainfall occurring during these months.

December, January, February: These are the wettest months, with the most precipitation and frequent rainfall.

Now you know the rainy season is over too, I feel like your teacher today.

My opinion is we will be told when drilling has started, we haven't been told yet.

You have twisted yourself so much that you have now answered your own question! Good work genius!

'So did AA drill through the wet season as NvS said?'

'Anyway Captain Semantics if they drilled into the wet season by definition they drilled through the wet season also !'

'Perhaps not all the way through but if they drilled inro they drilled through a part also '

Someone give MENSA a call!

I am not sure it matters to be honest, you were the one asking to prove they drilled through the wet season when that is not what the RNS said. The RNS said into the wet season, not through and you now know they drilled into the wet season.

Take your loss.

No worries Bukowski, I imagine you are in a permanent state of loss so it shouldn't be anything new to you.

The point is you deliberately misconstrued the difference between 'into' and 'through'.

Now lets look at when drilling was occurring.

7th Nov 2024 IC (you should watch it) drilling was ongoing (note Nov, wet season in NW Zambia).

29th Nov 2024 AGM call - 'Drilling continues' - you should have watched and took notes.

Conclusion - they drilled into the wet season.

No need to thank me

They did drill in the wet season, but they didn't drill through the wet season, its pretty simple, even for you

Bukowski, you copied out part of the RNS yourself, it's not difficult to read (maybe it is for you!). There is a difference between 'into' and 'through'
