Although they are no longer involved with Kibo, it is worth noting that Standard Chartered are no longer going to finance any coal fired energy project

Magnet. How does one join your twitter group?

It is reassuring to read the positive views of Sir G, and others though the drop in sp and lack of news will have tested the confidence of many shareholders. Indeed many have cut and run. The disappearance of Wimbledon and Yaki has not helped, and some clearly wonder whether they too have sold up.

Pop me in at 15p

And it shows how adept LC is in playing a long game. We are fortunate to have him in charge.

The USA and especially the uk have neglected Africa while for some years china has been investing heavily. Can the USA now block projects such as Kibo as they battle for supremacy over china? I think they have left it too late in Africa. Mesnwhile the trade war is going to be interesting to watch and repercussions could be world wide.

Bated breath not baited, but there plenty of it about at the moment

Indeed JD and it reinforces my view that the TZ govt. has become ultra cautious in committing itself to any transaction for fear of being ripped off as it has been so many times hitherto. This is why it is taking so long for Kibo to get a to licences etc.

It is not going to be the same without Wimbo. He must have devoted umpteen weeks cumulatively on his 20,000 plus entries in making comments

A good end to the week 7th September and a £28,000 investment. £5 in the offing

Another dull Friday but don't forget there are the projects in Botswana and Mozambique as well. LC has been doing a fantastic job over the years, notwithstanding the impatience expressed by some. And where is Wimbo? I have never known him so quiescent. As for Tanzania Kibo came on the scene in the wake of appalling rip offs were Tanzania was screwed, so we cannot be surprised that theTz government is being ultra cautious.

Somebody out there has great expectations, An £83,000 investment is quite something.

And the sp has not totally collapsed indicating strong underlying confidence.

After forty years of neglecting Africa, St Teresa has suddenly decided to,push UK investment. I wonder how welcoming her African hosts are. Meanwhile China has really got itself involved. In any event it can only be good for Kibo

Where is Wimbo when he's needed for some sage comment

For some reason the price seems to get stuck at this level but ..

That is reassuring. We have booked a night at the Midland Hotel, Bradford. We are interested to see what that is like

You said that last year, and the year before and the year before...

It would be a dull board if we did not have Lurker casting doom and gloom everywhere. Imho I think the sp has proven to be remarkably resilient considering the absence of news. Yes, it is lower than it has been but the sp has not collapsed, or as Lurker might say " yet". If Lurker's doom laden prenouncements come true, there will be many burnt fingers including mine. Suffice it to say, I remain confident that LC will live up to expectations. For what it is worth, I think LC is handling everything very well. We cannot expect him to reveal what is going on. He needs to be to get on with the job.
