Have added another decent wedge. It's going to be entirely reliant on Brent holding above $56 and increased shipments. Still keen to learn who acquired Gran Tierra's stock reduction.

Merely an observation no matter the date . . . I am not rubbishing the company or the stock. After working for 30+ years in southern Africa I do know more than just a little bit about the region. Also, taking note of the actions taken by the likes of Bristow (Barrick) is prudent.

My stance on Oz potential remains unchanged. If anything, I believe the next grades are going to confirm what we already think.

Best to read the above.
Having done some follow up I am scratching Zambia off the list.
It may change but the country now goes into the same bin as S Africa and Zim.
All three destroyed by corruption and greed.

I noted Goldplat were on the airwaves tonight. Fleeting thoughts went to the mothballed Kilimapesa mine now provisionally sold but requiring a chunk of working capital. It was only a thought . . . on whether Shanta was interested in a toehold at Lolgorien and the North Mara alongside Lake Vic.

Unlikely to be drawn as a 200-strong idle workforce was bound to lead to unwanted community complications, although the production is not to be sniffed at. Re-equipping and retooling would also be expensaive.

Didn't add to my stake but expect to do so shortly. Annoying to see the sudden drop.
Whilst knowing little about airborne pathogens review of the literature confirms what is known.
It's very compelling and suggests a fast-tracked hand-held device is quite close.

re 09:28 - Still haven't added yet as it remains flaky @ 22.285p and may fall further tomorrow and Friday.
Also I am likely to ease up on posts as another 3 months could elapse before meaningful progress is made.

Okay. After the morning feeding frenzy it's nearly time to buy again.
09.25 - @ 23.24p it looks a bit safer for those who want to add..
Or that is how I am treating it

Respect to all of you in the major league.
It's a maddening stock.
I was in it but then got nervous @ ~20p

Unless it's already been posted I note Australia Day is tomorrow.
Suppose it's too much to expect lift-off news to counter an ailing SP.
Is anyone manning the bridge Down Under?
Debating whether to post information.

A great deal of exploration is going to take off in NoordKaap, Kalahari, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. (Not too keen on Zim because of its many drawbacks.) Barrick, perhaps more than anyone else, is at the forefront along Zambia's northern border with DRC. Then there is Katanga province which I lost track of after 1960 and Patrice Lumumba.

aprogerson - Your 11:03 post is noted. Thanks. Will follow up over next weekend. If anyone has any other leads on the region all information will be much appreciated.

Note - Other than a planned small buy in JLP I am avoiding all S African mining stocks. BEE-E has been a banana skin.

Spanking new piece of tunnelling kit.
Wonder if it is our own or BambooRock's (Digmin).

No nasties this afternoon.
Perhaps the offloads are drying up.
But don't hold your breath.

17% up . . . better than I thought it would be. I'm looking for a heavyweight JV partner and further II participation. Maybe Arnab can do it all on his own but it's a big market out there. The webinar on 27 Jan could provide a clue or two.

All neat and tidy.
Pic clearly illustrates new structures in the SW adjacent to solar panel array.
A good, solid outfit with visible infrastructure progress.

Have resisted any thought of tampering with Shanta.
We are becalmed by new institutional activity which will continue until advisory on first divi.
Would like to promote three stocks that are up another 15%+ but am resisting that too.

I knew the CopperBelt quite well but the sector has moved forward along the N and NW border.
My attention should stay on Australia yet we should all do some reading on Zambian interests.
A preamble -

A largely informative and studious weekend on covid detectors, geiger counters, nanotechnology, etc.
Fortunately I already hold KMK so a decision does not have to be taken . . .
other than adding to it or chasing four other promising stocks.
It could be argued that the IC projection is grossly underestimated.
Much is dependent on global governments/health departments pursuing its future use.

I noted it earlier in the week. One day, of course, he will get his wish. Unlikely to be soon though.

I went through the Jan 11 release once more and accept it is a meaty document. There is a mountain of detail in it. The next announcement on Big One and ancillaries could create massive interest. And, although it is some way off, I still have to re-examine the Broken Hill, Zambia, case. Offhand I'd say, provided Cu prices hold their ground (or improve), the probability is that Paull will step into Zambia. Step one on Mt Oxide is the priority though.

@ 15:24
Hal have a couple of cheapies near term at £3.50 per deal. The first is next Thursday, I think, another one in Feb and one per month thereafter. I occasionally make use of it for smaller deals, say £1k or over.

The pattern referred to @ 14:47 is quite common. And it is possible to sell at one price and, if quick, buy back at .01p less. But who has time to sit at the screen all day! One trick you can use is to open your dealing account on Explorer and the same account on Chrome. By doing it you can get simultaneous buy/sell quotes without losing more than 2 seconds.

@ 09:43
The powerful array of positive opinion has influenced me to retain half of the original SOLG holding. The other half has been scattered in five new stocks in the past fortnight. Three of them have gained 10% or more. Two of them should gain another 30% in the coming week. SOLG, however, represents nearly half of my emerging companies' portfolio.

I don't pretend to have the expertise of others on the bb. but there is at least one contentious issue that I steer clear of. Possibly another gnawing concern is the grasshopper nature of NM-lead practice, e.g. I remember first investing in the company for NSW, Queensland and Solomon Island factors. Although I have not checked recently those prospects still remain on the company's preamble, still unattended.

IMO something has to be done/completed fairly quickly. Merely lurching from pillar to post ain't going to cut it. And surely the Ecuadorean government is going to draw a line in the sand at some point.

[Also, the ******* who persists with Friday night effects, adds to the exasperation.]
