Chinese-linked mining firms sued over 'ecological catastrophe' in Zambia

16 September 2025

Reporting fromLusaka

Farmers in Zambia have filed an $80bn (£58.5bn) lawsuit against two Chinese-linked firms, blaming them for an "ecological catastrophe" caused by the collapse of a dam that stored waste from copper mining.

News l would like to get soon.

SILVERKING

2000 m of drilling of the Kopje prospect to be reported.

Plus initial mine feasibility on "internal" resource estimation at SK.

BUSHRANGER

Updated economic estimates based on the latest concentration study results.

You Tube Military Metals on strategic need for antimony and recent price rises caused by China banning it's export.

Price per tonne at $55000 for antimony trioxide in April 2025.

I just remember it's quite toxic.

It's very clear now that the company is now fully refocused on its gas commodities.

Natural hydrogen is the gold standard for greenhouse gas emissions free fuel cells, and helium shortages are driving up it's cost for essential uses in MRI imaging etc.

No longer to be wasted on balloons and squeaky voices.

Whether this is a good move in a critical metals boom remains to be seen, but the new strategy certainly plays to the strengths of the new CEO Andrew Hume and his international oil and gas career.

Geothermal is another new area the company could explore in future as it gains drilling expertise.

US Defence Department aka War Department have deep pockets. Plus, if they don't have decent medical cover for injured soldiers, who the hell is going to want to fight for them?

This is a massive win for Tiziana.

Share price could double or more on this news, and the upside from a successful treatment could be huge.

Fingers crossed.

GLA and DYOR.

Shiny thing even :-)

At 4:50 mins he says they have stopped spoil heap trenching, despite the 9 g / tonne he said was achieved from the last processed material. Why didn't they finish this up - easy gold recovery and would show sone progress?

Always looking for the next shuby thing instead of doing the basics!

Can you post decipherable links to this stop press! info please?

Thanks for sharing FollowtheVein.

Nothing like a bit of laser scanning and lidar to provide a bit of reassurance that the mine redevelopment is being surveyed to a modern professional standard.

I think that what Colins horse S&M !

Named after his strategy is Smoke and Mirrors :-)

What does the upcoming news pipeline look like?

Some plans for income from the Colorado uranium mining acreage.

Better than nothing!

This board appears dead as l guess those interested in mining rather than helium have all absconded!

In reference to ii stating that MTL had a 70% reduction in first half profits.

For myself, this mornings figures were happy reading.

Mining is not a simple or easy industry, and in the real world there are many obstacles and setbacks. Our management have proven themselves competent and trustworthy, which is more than I can say for some of my other AIM investments, SXX and AAOG being the worst.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Bouboubear is right.

Dear JDAU,

I hope you have a job or hobby besides writing long rants here all day, for your sake as well as ours.

I really think you have to accept that many LTHs have a trust issue with CB, especially after Bushranger.

You could provide a valuable service to shareholders by listing out all of Colin Birds XTR projects and their status, and looking for any links to the activities of all his other companies geographically and geologically.

We might then get an insight into his overall strategy.

Go on, do it!

Have a lovely day all.

It seems so JF92.

Hopefully the start of a steady recovery instead of another rampy spiking event.

JDAU, are you Howezaps Margot Robbie?

As in drama queen?

It's obvious that Jezoo started this thread ironically, and we both just reported simple facts. That's ramping/de ramping to you???

Anyway, Colin Bird has had his hands far too full with Bezant and GLR this summer to pay attention to XTR Comms.

XTR on the risers list this morning.

How did that happen?

No news but expecting more SK results in the next few weeks.

Thanks PloppyNobkin. I see you too have seen US comedian George Carlin's "7 words you can't say" :-)

Your username has also somehow evaded the censors! Congrats.

My average buy was at 2.5p and I wished I had paid more attention then as I could do with a few million right now :-)
