At the time it seemed an extreme step. I forgot to include the above link when noting KK Security in Kisumu. Keeping the rats out is a demanding exercise in Africa. It has to be top of the requirements' list for EZ in WK.

@ 17:35
Although dissimilar Enterprise nickel site down the road from Zamsort has been years in the making. All ancillary works are in place - the bugbear is current nickel price - but some hurdles remain.

Equally Anglo is not necessarily about to jump in before the next set of assay results. It is quite possible they are looking through a range of prospects in the Kalahari craton, i.e. the Botswana belt could also be in their sights. Okavango is certainly in my study remit.

Only a handful of us contribute to the bb. It naturally limits our knowledge to some extent. If the sources taking up stock could be identified it would give me greater confidence to at least double the present holding. On balance, even without discovery of another reservoir, I believe Bretaña is going to serve us very well. the possible sources are -

o funds and instis
o swaps LSE-TSX
o some private sales incl. GTE
o Monaco yacht association

Private equity investors appear to be thinly spread here whereas small holders are regularly seen on the TSX. Generally bumps in the road are manageable in my estimation although the Pinuahuans have been known to rock the boat.

There should be a spot of news over the next six working days.

Thought I'd check the sites with which I'm familiar. Muizenberg dump is one of them.

San Diego dump is massive. I know a fair amount of the problem along the West Coast and up to BC. The composting component in California and Vancouver/Victoria is huge.

Hope we can make waves with some aggressive marketing of the tech. Growing more unmanageable each day.

It's worse now than a couple of years back when the satellite shot was taken.

I hold a tidy amount of EQT stock. The African rubbish mountains take some beating. Are we active there or is it a neglected continent?

Unsure but there was some unrest at the mine at one point. Also check status of obsolete equipment. On the other hand there were expectations of a ~3m oz resource which is impressive to say the least. Question is why did GDP throw in the towel with those numbers?

Certainly bemused by the tortuous path being trodden by SHG and CEY. I regard both as two very sound mining houses with growing revenues and/or profits. The cream will rise to the surface but predicting when is impossible.

I am reasonably confident the general area around Saza (within a 25-km radius) will eventually reflect multiple open pits . . . certainly more than the three at NGLM.

Interestingly there are at least two ancient volcanoes SE of Mbeya. The most well known is Ngozi which is ~5 km outside the town. The adjacent Kilulo plateau is adjacent to it (probably a protected zone). I understand there has been little or no exploration.

That said, I have a half-dozen very sound stocks, only two of which are performing well. Perhaps it's time to sit back and show a bit of patience.

A snapshot. No need to wade through a very familiar African pattern.
Everyone's climbing in . . . even the Russians.
[Who here remembers Angola? And it finishes up with people like Isabel dos Santos, the last of whom I heard was swanning around in France.]

Inevitably, what a mess.
I note even Col Dyck has got off his sick bed to go and see what his helicopters have been doing.

Haven't got anything to add to last night's comedy other than to recall that Samia completed her masters in Manchester and had further education in the States. (Shall have to check my statement tonight.)

Some understanding of economics must have left its mark. Two years of it in London certainly did so in my case.

My only observation is Yuri D's role is going to be crucial in the days ahead. Admittedly many of my expectations are pinned on Barberton's (the daisy town/what a spectacle each year) 1874 alluvial gold discovery which preceded the real finds across the Witwatersrand ~1888. The greenstone belts in Tanzania and ancient volcanics are prolific . . . "Greater" New Luika could be extraordinarily abundant. The company is planning to step well outside its demarcated footprint.

@21:55 - We pay them and with an open pit plus infrastructure the force will get bigger. Shanta will put Kisumu and Kakamega back on the map.

. . . just like ARCM will do down at Sentinel and Solwezi adding to their profile.

Just deflecting attention for a moment:

o KK Security are already in Kisumu (see yesterday's tweet)
KK Security- Kisumu, Nehru Rd Market/Milimani

o KK Security HO -
https://kksecurity.garda.com/

o Shanta will need 50 minimum guards to patrol their perimeter 24/7 and not least for excluding artisanal miners/mining activities. I had hoped Nairobi would step in here.

Didn't take up any stock this morning owing to work activity. Shall put it right next week, hopefully at a slightly lower price.

Have never witnessed more flatulence over a short period. It should blow over next week even as soon as Monday. To those who are unsettled by the post surfeit tonight, rest assured that the past 6+ months have not been a work of fiction.

Ploughing a furrow in East Africa is a mighty task. And the head honcho cut his teeth in remote parts like Mongolia, nogal.

If some think Dar es Salaam/Dodoma are about to destroy the country's nascent mining industry they had best exit all emerging companies. Some also think the two whipping boys should make sacrifices and survive on an oil rag.

Ridiculous.

The Canucks have reacted badly to the fall in Brent.
Tomorrow could be flaky.

Just reviewing the day's events.
There are some chunky blue numbers there.
How should we interpret direction of travel?
It looks a very convincing story at present.

Stalking is off limits but I'd like to point out we have cracking senior staff on the ground. The team has steadily been added to in the past 10 years. The process is being stepped up for WK. Together with the Singida task team the component will shortly be in triplicate. Some well-thought through structures have been put in place.

. . . will be adding another wedge tomorrow.

Wonder if the job has been filled.
Looking for clues on Bushi and Isulu.
