Did not realize they were pulling out, according to this article ( https://www.dw.com/en/africa-france-reduces-military-presence-in-sahel/a-58220607 ), they are initially reducing from 5,000 to 3,000 troops,....then the article gives these indications:

"During a press conference following talks with African leaders, Macron said France would start closing its bases in northern Mali in the second half of 2021, a process to be completed by early 2022."

In the future, France's military presence will focus on neutralizing extremist operations and helping train local armed forces, Macron said.
"There will also a dimension of reassurance ... to remain permanently ready to intervene rapidly in support of partner forces,'' he said.

Thanks for the heads up, anon3,.....we are already holding HUM shares, was thinking about increasing our HUM shareholdings.

$450m, that's the highest figure ( https://www.crai.com/engagements/rockhopper-exploration-plc-rockhopper-italia-s-p-a-and-rockhopper-mediterranean-ltd-v-italian-republic-icsid-case-no-arb-17-14/ ), I have seen mentioned, thanks for posting link, pre2rcd,.....I share your view cubane1.

BW

Thanks for link ( https://pasofinogold.com/news/news-details/2021/Pasofino-Gold-Announces-Results-for-a-Further-12-Holes-at-Tuzon-Deposit-on-the-Dugbe-Gold-Project/default.aspx ), Cheerfuldoor,......where it says "Based on the new results, opportunities for further expansion are apparent", that sounds good to me.

Good to see the Stock Options, are at an exercise price of 1p ( https://m.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/ZENITH-ENERGY-LTD-4006321/news/Zenith-Energy-Granting-of-Stock-Options-36380230/ ), thanks for link Zooom,.... positive, Tilapia oil field licence news, will make them look cheap, (IMO).

Here is an article, that looks at the upcoming grand solar minimum 1 (2020–2053) https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23328940.2020.1796243

Extract:
"The reduction of a terrestrial temperature during the next 30 years can have important implications for different parts of the planet on growing vegetation, agriculture, food supplies, and heating needs in both Northern and Southern hemispheres. This global cooling during the upcoming grand solar minimum 1 (2020–2053) can offset for three decades any signs of global warming and would require inter-government efforts to tackle problems with heat and food supplies for the whole population of the Earth."

Just been re-listening to this interview ( https://youtu.be/Cm1mDihuEXQ ), that was released, on the 20th September 2019,.....just before, this wretched Covid-19 virus, made it very difficult, to make progress with anything,.....the interview covers, Ghana & Bolivia.

BW

I thought, we were already, "cheap as chips",....if we are going down, the only running I will be doing, is running through our shareholding positions, to see what I can reduce,....in order to increase, our COBR shareholdings. ;0)

Found this Mike Maloney video, interesting (dated Aug 26, 2021);- https://youtu.be/isILZuPjMqM

BW

Thanks for that email link, Curio1,....."We plan to use, whatever Direct Lithium Extraction, yields the highest recovery with lowest impurities.
There is nothing new or specific yet, about these trials." ( https://mobile.twitter.com/Fox_in_the_hole/status/1430777876186648578 ),.....that's sounding positive to me.

BW

The way I use the T20s, AndroclesB,.....is to have them partly covered, by forward projected savings & partly to fully covered by liquid share positions, within our ISA's, that I can sell, if need be (we can take funds out of our ISA's, & put them back in, without affecting our yearly allowance),......this way, even if the T20 moves against me, I can still let it settle to nominee fully paid, then Bed & ISA,....I would not personally use T20s, if I could not cover them,....my objective in using the T20s, is to build share positions, which I can Bed & ISA,....the T20 also buys me extra time, before having to sell liquid ISA shares, to partly or fully cover them.

BW

AndroclesB,...No, the joint trading account, is for leveraged positions, (T20s),......I take the Capital Gains, in our two ISA's.

19 July 2021 RNS: https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/PRD/operational-highlights-and-placing/15064518

BW

middleEastMoney,....Why I believe there is probably an overhang is;-

We had a placing RNS of 10,000,000 new ordinary shares ( https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/PRD/operational-highlights-mou-1-and-placing/15005338 ) on 4 June 2021,....followed by Director's dealings ( https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/PRD/director-s-dealings/15066844 ) dated 21 July 2021, this shows those shares were sold on the 13th July 2021 (Tuesday), 14th July 2021 (Wednesday), 15th July 2021 (Thursday), & 16th July 2021 (Friday), totaling 5,085,794 ordinary shares sold,....then on the following Monday ( 19 July 2021 ) we had the placing RNS of 26,000,000 new ordinary shares,.....hence, I am only holding (ISA) long term PRD shareholding,....I am not holding any (Trading Account), short term PRD shareholdings, & will not until the uncertainty of an overhang, is a distant memory.

BW

Hi, middleEastMoney,...I agree with JohnHenry, ("overhang of stock"),...all of our PRD shareholdings, are held in two ISA's, so the uncertainty of how large the overhang might be, is irrelevant to myself,....it will clear eventually, some good news would help.

BW

Hope you are right ("delay is due to summer holidays."),DD77,.....in which case, I am going to assume, they nearly met their July deadline, but not quite,.....if my assumption is correct, then I would expect news, by the middle of September, at the latest,....if not, I am prepared to wait indefinitely.

BW

With the 30 September 2021 ( https://rockhopperexploration.co.uk/2020/11/rns-regulatory-story-aspxcid441newsid1432210/ ) deadline getting close, for Navitas ( https://www.navitaspet.com/navitas-set-for-sea-lion-farm-in-off-falklands/ ) Farm In,...with ARG Rhea Stack ( http://www.argosresources.com/prospects-in-detail.php ), being located close to Sea Lion,....decided it might be prudent, to increase our ARG shareholding, at this point in time.

BW

Hi EmeraldCarrots,....I don't look in here very often,.....as you say, very illiquid share,.....with RKH arbitration result overdue, once that is announced & out of the way,.....my thinking is, Harbour Plc intentions, regarding Sea Lion, may become clearer.

I tucked a few more of ARG shares (s/p@2.2p) away today,......not showing above, I see they went through on the "Aquis Stock Exchange" ( https://www.aquis.eu/aquis-stock-exchange ),....we are still on a very good Gross Average s/p level, here at ARG (sub s/p@1.89p),....agree, a lot of potential upside, from these levels, should Harbour Plc, decide to progress Sea Lion.

BW

If the ASK, pulls back a bit, whilst we are waiting, for news, on this new North Sea asset,....then, I will probably be tempted, to increase our EOG shareholdings, further,.....taking another, approx treble market size (market size 30,000 shares), tranche or two, as we are still underwater, on this one.

BW

I'm sticking, with our current EOG shareholdings, for now, NigelHaemoglobin,.....waiting, for more detail, on the potential new North Sea acquisition & how it is going to be Funded,.....I don't want to get caught out, by an unexpected placing,....it's the only thing, stopping me backing the truck up, here at EOG,.....at this current, s/p level.

BW

Yes, he looks to be the right man ( https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/clontarf_energy/news/rns/story/rdp1k3r ), with his Bolivia experience.

Extract:
David Horgan, Director, commented:

"Peter is uniquely qualified to serve as a Non-Executive Director of Clontarf. He has operated in Bolivia for over 30 years and has an encyclopedic knowledge of Bolivian mining, hydrocarbon, and infrastructure needs. We believe that Peter has the contacts, skills and credibility to execute a lithium evaporates project in South America."

BW

No, I was not aware of that ("Griffiths' third go at Morocco"),.....although, my main reason, for holding both EOG & PRD, is Corrib,....with Wressle, looking very good, if we can now get a Corrib Farm Out,....we could see, a very substantial increase, in our Market Cap, (IMO).
