. . . have been pondering any implications for THS following this step, without reaching any conclusion.

PB/MG have covered the following characteristics . . . investors can formulate decisions on what is known:

"Cassiterite (SnO2) is the principal ore of tin, and forms the basis of one of the global commodity chains for electronic consumer goods. Cassiterite is translucent when pure, but brown or black when impurities are present. It is found either in primary or alluvial (placer) deposits. Primary deposits are formed by deep-seated geological processes, such as the intrusion of granite in which the cassiterite is embedded in hard rocks, such as pegmatite or quartz. Alluvial deposits are formed by the mechanical concentration of heavy cassiterite in riverbeds, in which the tin ore is contained in gravel and sand. Since cassiterite is resistant

to weathering, it also often concentrates in alluvial deposits derived from cassiterite-bearing rocks. Tin is obtained by reducing the ore using bituminous coal in a reverberatory furnace".

Composition stats on first findings at Kalayi and Mt Agoma, because of complexity, take some digesting. With a limited $4m fund the drilling results from 1 m to 100 m will determine RMR's future health. N Kivu is a known "tin province" and Bisie a fine pointer along the ridge.

My own local knowledge is obsolete and goes back to some dark days. Kalayi has a history. Checking it out is useful. Mark G's claims are not out of place. Effectively we know Sn (and other) is in place. In all likelihood mineralisation is open at depth and Alphamin (8 km distant) is busy working on the theory.

There are probably at least three recognised labs down at Lubumbashi but samples sent to Jhb may become destination of choice.

. . . have added, moderately, but could have done without the Mozambican imbroglio. PB has a 3-month window to get the job up and running. $4m doesn't give him much latitude.

To my untrained eye some minerals, e.g. manganese, mica, are clearly visible in southern African granite.

It's good to read all three rigs are now at work. Clearly, there are scores of PIs hanging on to MG/PH's every word. The bottom line is first assays will determine the buying scramble. Until then we travel blind.

Difficult to see how the numbers are being accomplished unless the critical newsworthy reports reflect situation in the tributaries . . . and the Negra remains navigable and relatively unaffected.

Los Angeles 131 figures remain at zero for first 10 days, which is rare.

Rainfall has been negligible this week but showers will be widespread through to Sunday.

. . . blind faith or a wild guess ?? Biting the bullet for a couple of months . . . very relieved not to have dipped a toe into GTE but anxious over i3E courtship.

Pasop, maat.

There it is, within the 3-workday rule. [I'll be stalling until the Lubumbashi assays before next step.] NB Unless very lucky Mark G has ~30k m drilling to complete before MRE. Also I'm interested to learn if Cu mineralisation is good in the east.

Come back mid-October . . . Ponte Negra still has a good water level to keep my boat afloat. A few people enjoying the sun.

A few raindrops around Pucallpa catchment today.

In the meantime keep Mark Gasson company at Bisie North with your geologist's handpick.

(sic) confirm

A fine answer. It takes guts for such a big plunge . . . no assurances/guarantees/pointers from me. It's a long time since I was in Goma and I don't know if there is a granite mass on that flank. Structure may be similar to Kabompo domes but only Gasson is in a position to conform it.

UT at day end indicates share is on the move.

Cautious answer: Although the predecessor/PFP has had most entries removed via a '404' it is suggested you refer to that company's RNSs for reassurance. The 4.87bn share legacy - RMR's percentage being less than 10% of the total - threatens a spot of indigestion.

[LFM your £50k buy @10:38 is yet to show itself . . . probably Monday.]

Yes, I wondered what was causing drag on SP in last two days . . . you must know(?) something about the wraparound granite feature that the rest of us don't :)

Either way the bid is on the move again.

@ 10:19 - 4.87bn shares might be acting as a deterrent but in this instance I am leaving it out of the equation. If there is a legacy dispute with Pathfinder, it should be resolved over time. The bulk of the confetti shares were inherited.

With the third hole now at 100+ m it answers an important question for me, i.e. possible reach to ~400 m. The deeper the probe, the greater the mineralisation prospects . . .. I wouldn't mind regular chats with Mr Gasson, who is presumably resident in Jhb.

You will have been referring to the above link. The next report is likely to confirm direction of travel plus rapid upscaling of ops in next four months. It would be interesting to learn if the new CKD kit can reach 400 m depth.

My own memory of the Goma district is sketchy but a handful of Alphamin videos on infrastructure illustrate how well transport connections have advanced around Bisie.

Shipments = 445,260 for August

. . . just having another look at the detail

.. . notable some clown is proposing a plan to divert the Maranon to the Pacific. Crazy human race.

I note the Nanay at Iquitos is currently 30 m across with 2 m draught. So be it if temporary investors become impatient. I was more concerned when James Perez was stirring up trouble in Loreto.

. . . plenty to be going on with at present. (Was the Ecuador pilot successful, Manolo?)

Overall, the response here has been favourable. The bb is mostly quiet. No complaints from this fella who got on board @ 20p. Being such a sceptical late starter was my fault.

. . . Still in the bush around Goma and Bisie N. Manolo in the meantime will be gearing up for next season's rains.
