Here are the most read and most listened-to articles and Bearcasts on ShareProphets over the past seven days. The most read non-Quiz, non-Tom article last week is by Nigel Somerville, The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Settles Back But Holds $1900 at No 2 or No 2 including Bearcasts.

Here are the most read and most listened-to articles and Bearcasts on ShareProphets over the past seven days. The most read non-Quiz, non-Tom article last week is by Chris Bailey, Bunzl may not be exciting, but many institutional investors do not care about that at No 1 or No 5 including Bearcasts.

The most read non-Quiz, non-Tom article last week is by Chris Bailey, Having a think about markets whilst having my now and again coffee at Dunelm, at No 1 or No 9 including Bearcasts.

Can you list them in terms of long term career value destruction? I start with Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and some of the daft comments made. The to More Acquisitions (TMOR) and Doc Holliday's cunning EGM plan which will surely destroy the company and lose it its quote. Then Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO), Red Rock Resources (RRR), Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) and Tern (TERN) which looks to me to be almost bust and where I look forward to reporting its auditors to the FRC when the Fat Lady appears on stage. I should add what I forgot to say in the podcast: Tingo (US:TIO) is the most obvious zero from the province of Norfolk that I have see for ages. And it is shortable.

The most-read non-quiz non-Tom article this week is by Nigel Somerville with Ariana – 2022 Production Result: A Top Effort: Buy  at No 2 or No 6 including Bearcasts.

The most-read non-quiz non-Tom article this week is by Nigel Somerville with  Centamin – Court Win Secures Mine Concession Agreement: BUY  at No 5 or No 11 including Bearcasts.

The most-read non-quiz non-Tom article this week is from a brand new face at ShareProphets, Cat Jeeves. Cat comes in at number six with  NEW BEAR DOSSIER: Will Futura Medical STIFF the bulls or number 13 including Bearcasts.

These days he goes by the name Lord Ashbourne but I shall always know Edison's mining analyst as the convicted felon Charlie Gibson. Anyhow yesterday he was not thrashing some peasant for being a dirty oik or driving while sloshed but instead penning a note on Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). Of course Kefi pays for this research but that makes its steer on a placing all the more relevant. No it is NOT doing one right now as I keep being told by folks who will not accept a slam dunk denial from 'arry Adams.

Thanks for all the kind wishes about my health and that of Joshua, we seem to be on the mend. In today's podcast I discuss Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), Argo Blockchain (ARB) and - in detail - Victoria (VCP) 

The most-read non-quiz non Tom article this week is from Nigel Somerville with  ‘The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Takes A Breather’ at No 13 or No 19 including Bearcasts.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) states that it “is pleased to announce that the updated US$320 million Tulu Kapi gold project costings and finance plan has now been agreed by all the Tulu Kapi syndicate lead contractors, investors and lenders. It is currently being processed for final reviews and entry into definitive documentation to be signed as soon as possible, with the expectation to achieve this next month”. Is this though what was expected at this point?

I am still being pestered by my fellow Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) shareholders for reasons I cannot fathom. Some of them are delusional. I then turn to Microsaic (MSYS) where a statement on related party deals is needed pronto. Then onto AO World (AO.) where I do not buy into today's rally before onto why Jim Mellon's Condor Gold (CNR) is actually a short after today's second attempt to put it up for sale.

I start with 11 weedy virtue signallers and 11 incredibly brave men at the World Cup. Then it is on to Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Fox Marble (FOX), Dev Clever (DEV) and Asimilar (ASLR) and inally a long look at Genedrive (GDR), a case study on crony capitalism and destruction of shareholder value.

Even Pete Brailey the most staunchest of Tory members you could ever meet says he has given up on the party after today's budget. I go through two lies Jeremy Hunt told and consider how he has screwed the poor, those of us running SMEs and is protecting super rich folks with sons at Eton with another lie.  Like Peter I shall not vote Tory next time.  Then onto a man who is not a liar, Optibiotix (OPTI) boss Steve O'Hara and the presentation he gave today which is below. I mention Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and an email exchange today at this point. Then a few words on Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) follow then on to Argo Blockchain (ARB) which I expect to go bust next week and Ceres Power (CWR) whose valuation is still bonkers despite the shares slumping by 80% since peak ramp. 

In October Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) announced, in another delay, that it would get financial sign off for its Tulu Kapi scheme in “mid November”. Today, on the 14^th, some of my fellow shareholders are cacking their pants. Why? Just how dim are you?

Kefi Gold & Copper (LSE:KEFI), a gold and copper mine developer with projects in Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia is a company whose shares we think could double by Christmas and here is why.

As we all face a cost of living crisis with the poor and the young hardest hit, Andrew Bell insists that Opera needs more subsidy. Is this a more tenable position than his defence of the Red Rock Resources (RRR) share price? I start with that then onto the two big losers from yesterday's surprising mid terms in the USA. Then onto Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Ithaca Energy (ITH), MGC Pharmaceiticals (MXC) - which looks like a possible zero - and Dignity (DTY).

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has announced that it “is extremely pleased to note the announcement of a permanent end to hostilities in Northern Ethiopia and expresses its determination to do whatever is possible within its business mandate to contribute to the economic recovery plans set by the Ethiopian Government”. We suggest the news bodes very well for near-term progress of the Tulu Kapi gold project for the company.

After that apology to most of the citizens of a nation that has turned Philistinism into an art form I discuss the Bank of England hiking base rates by 0.75%. Then it is onto ouzo man and Purplebricks (PURP) before I turn to two gold stocks that could now rocket by Christmas, Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV). I own shares in both and both have two reasons for a dramatic near term re-rate. Then Trainline (TRN) where the outlook is not so bright.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has issued a “Significant Progress in Ethiopia”-titled announcement and the shares have currently responded up to 0.62p. They have not responded further higher (yet) since there are some short-term negatives in the announcement too, but overall there is still progress towards what we consider will be significant share price catalysts in the near-term.

I started with Ms Truss and how it is not her fault that the UK is in the mess that it is in. The entire media and political class is to blame. The it is onto Naked Wines (WINE), why action MUST be taken at the fraud Verditek (VDTK) and finally a long look at Amaroq Minerals (AMRQ) and a sort of look across at Kefi (KEFI) which also had news today.

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving so if this podcast is late it is because Darren and other folks in the socialist hell hole are giving thanks to a God they do not believe in for not being American. Normally they all celebrate with roasted turkey but after a few years of President Castro-Trudeau many of them have been forced to become vegans under the latest Hate Crime laws or will be chasing their cats as Felix will be the main course on the only special feast which is now affordable. The screenshot below relates to Zamaz (ZAMZ) as I discuss its latest acquistion where the numbers just do not add up. I also look at Versarien (VRS), Chesterfield Resources (CHF), Argo Blockchain (ARB), asking if the ptoposed funding is for real, and I discuss a weekend chat with 'arry Adams of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI).

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) states that it “is pleased to note a widely publicised request for a permanent ceasefire by the Tigrayan rebel leadership in Ethiopia”, viewing it as a positive development for the country and the company's Tulu Kapi gold project.

I start with a reference to this personal podcast about Christmas Day 1914 HERE. Then it is onto Ironveld Resources (IRON), Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) and Argo Blockchain (ARB) and it is one of two more reasons give to book your seats at ShareStock on September 10 NOW HERE

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) states that, via its 30%-owned joint venture in Saudi Arabia, it “is pleased to announce positive licencing progress on the Jibal Qutman project, plus the award of two further exploration licences”. So what of a current 0.60p to buy share price?

These are the most-read articles and most listened-to Bearcasts of the week. The most read non-Tom article is Don’t panic GSK shareholders! Meanwhile Direct Line Insurance remains a recent comedy by Chris Bailey at number one or number six if you include Bearcasts.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has announced the award of two additional exploration licences on initial five year terms through its 30% joint venture in Saudi Arabia and that “positive progress has been made in discussions with the Deputy Minister for Mineral Resources relating to the Jibal Qutman project - anticipated resolution in the current quarter”, as well as a quarterly 'operational update'. What of the shares having responded up to 0.65p to buy?

We're halfway through the year, and that gives us a little time to reflect back on the most-listened-to Bearcasts of this past six months. 

In today's podcast, I look at Optibiotix (OPTI) - where I bought more shares; Kefi Gold & Copper (Kefi); Guild ESports (GILD) - is it breaking up with David Beckham?; Nanosynth (NNN); the shysters at Verditek (VDTK)l and Shield Therapeutics (STX). It is definitely ouzo, or rather an elderflower champagne, for supper tonight.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has issued an announcement stating that it notes recent local press reports inaccurately referring to a loss of the company's Tulu Kapi licence in Ethiopia and that it is instead confident of the signing of an umbrella funding agreement by the end of this month.

The Mrs was nextdoor, so I had to be upfront with you and list the sort of things I normally say but could not do today. Then, it is onto Kefi Copper & Gold (KEFI), and some comments about its behaviour today; Caspian Sunrise (CASP); Verditek (VDTK); Petropavlovsk (POG) - looking like a bang-on zero; and Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT), which is not much better.  

These are the most-read articles and most listened-to Bearcasts of the week. The most read non-Tom article is Naked Wines shareholders will probably need a drink! by Chris Bailey at number six or number 13 if you include Bearcasts.

But instead, I left a birthday party to record this. Such dedication. I start on why Nigel's Barkby (BARK) piece was wrong.  Then, I look at Shield Therapeutics (STX), Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), Naked Wine (WINE), Nostra Terra Oil & Gas (NTOG) and Trainline (TRN).

A reader emails about Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI): "you see how serious, if true, the situation is? So, don’t suppose you can get a response from HAA, since... without clarity before the markets open, shares will collapse 100%".

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has served up another update on Saudi Arabia, saying that it is looking to develop Jibal Qutman next year and then Hawiah “shortly afterwards”.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has issued an “Ethiopia Development Update”-titled announcement, with Executive Chairman Harry Adams emphasising that the company has significant momentum as it progresses three advanced projects. Then again he recently considered yet another placing ‘pleasing’, so what is the “significant momentum”?

It is just two days until Rogue Bloggers, and we have raised more than £20,000 (with gift aid). Let's try and reach £25,000. I discuss rain, nettles and the inevitable pain on Saturday. Please donate, HERE. Then, the twit of the day contest: Boris v Harry of Kefi (KEFI) v Mark Steward, who has disgraced himself on Genflow (GENF).  I then discuss Nostra Terra (NTOG) (praise be the lord), with a target price of 0p; the fraud, Supply@ME Capital (SYME); another Steward screw-up; and ITM Power (ITM).

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has announced calendar year 2021 results and emphasises now a “focus on a sequential development path to build a mid-tier mining company with aggregate annual production of 365,000 ounces of gold and gold equivalent, in which KEFI will have a beneficial interest of 187,000 ounces of gold and gold equivalent”.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has announced recent advancement toward multi-party financing, as well as further development of the Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia.

These are the most-read articles and most listened-to Bearcasts of the week. The most read non-Tom article is Ferrexpo looks like a good recovery buy with large upside as long as its operations in Ukraine continue uninterrupted by Gary Newman at a sexy Number Six or Number 11 if you include Bearcasts.

Kefi Gold and Copper (KEFI) has announced further drill results and news from Saudi Arabia.

Cliff admits he will lose, so has decently added £5 to his Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks donation. Why not join him? Leave the 96% of listeners yet to donate, and chip in today, HERE. The bet is on Zephyr Energy (ZPHR), where Cliff is long (and wrong). I offer him the chance to double up with a bet on Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT), following its bonkers RNS yesterday. But I think he is too smart to take that. I also look at Versarien (VRS), Eden Research (EDEN), Kefi (KEFI), and Amur Minerals (AMC), on a day of water triumph at the Greek Hovel. How I wish I was there.

I start with Pure Gold (PUR) and today's utterly misleading release; the red flags do flutter in force here. The onto Kefi Minerals (KEFI), where 'arry bloody Adams does not understand why his NEDs are 100% discredited. Finally, I have two challenges for loathsome Neill Ricketts, as he steers Versarien (VRS) towards a crash landing.

I start with good news concerning my mother-in-law, which suggests my current living - where folks pay £5.99 a month to hurl abuse at me - is maybe not such a desirable career. Then onto Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), and what I have told 'arry Bloody Adams should happen next, in light of his latest e-mail to me. Then onto Vast Resources (VAST) and Eden Research (EDEN), not Pharma as I misspoke in the podcast. Finally, Gear4Music (G4M), which is enough to turn fanboys Paul Scott and Malcolm Stacey to drink.  Vindicated yet again as a bear, I warn of worse to come, following today's bullshit-heavy trading statement.  

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) states that it “is pleased to announce an oversubscribed fundraising to raise gross cash proceeds of £8.0 million… at a price of 0.8 pence per ordinary share”, with also a warrant per two placing shares at an exercise price of 1.6p exercisable for two years. But then it admits “the placing price represents a discount of 25% against the ten-day VWAP to 19 April”. So the stock was handed out cheaply so making the placing oversubscribed. Well done 'arry bloody Adams and team aren't you clever boys?

In today's Bearcast, I start with Guild ESports (GILD), and a collapsing party house of cards. I refer to the David Williams of Avanti infamy shocker - it is still a cracking short. Then I comment on Petropavlovsk (POG), where I am surprised no one has feigned offence at my earlier headline.  There is a bit on NightCap (NGHT), but most of this podcast covers Kefi Gold and Copper (KEFI). Matthew and his dog will be delighted by that section.

I start with news of flooding at the Welsh Hovel, and end with a reminder of podcasting schedules as I head to the Greek hovel.  Then, I apologise to Peter Brailey as I cover: Simec Atlantic (SAE); Kefi (KEFI); Ince (INCE); Arden (ARDN); Cellular Goods (CBX); Chill Brands (FRAUD); Gatemore fund managers and Sensyne (SENS); Mark Slater and the folly of attempting corporate regime change; and Audioboom (BOOM).

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has emphasised a recent months “improved enormously” security situation in Ethiopia and regulatory and further operational progress in Saudi Arabia mean that it is now well set.

These are the most-read articles and most listened-to Bearcasts of the week. The fact that BREAKING: Darren Atwater Resignation letter is the most read article this week quite disturbs me: were ShareProphets readers thrilled or dismayed at the news? (It was, of course, an April Fools.) The most read non-Tom story is Friday news I missed last week from Rolls-Royce and Imperial Brands by Chris Bailey at Number 10 or Number 16 if you include Bearcasts.

This is a very long podcast, covering: Optibiotix (OPTI); Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX); Kefi (KEFI); Bluebird (BMV); Ten Lifestyle (TENG); CakeBox (CBOX); Deepverge (DVRG); Petropavlovsk (POG); Eurasia (EUA); and Amur Minerals (AMC).

I see that Edison has published a note on Kefi (KEFI) giving a valuation range of 2.46p to 8.27p. Whatever, it is paid to be bullish but as a loyal shareholder I agree the stock is cheap although nobody has paid me to write that. Anyhow I see that the Edison contact is Lord Ashbourne? Who he ed?

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has announced that with, over the past two months its Ethiopia security situation having remained stable following abatement of civil war at the end of 2021 and State of Emergency being lifted, it is pleased to announce that development activities at the Tulu Kapi gold project have recommenced. Good news.

These are the most-read articles and most listened-to Bearcasts of the week. The most-read article non-Tom article is once again by me, the ShareProphets Sunday Pub Quiz #128. The most-read non-Tom, non-Darren article is Thar’s Gold in Greenland’s Icy Mountains and this Fiesty Firm’s Out to Exploit it by Malcolm Stacey, making a welcome return to the leaderboard at number nine or number 16 including Bearcasts.

Even by the standards of other paid for interviewers, Proactive’s Katie Pilbeam is in a class of her own, making Juston the Clown seem like Jeremy Paxman on Steroids.This week she met up with Harry Adams of Kefi (KEFI) where I am a loyal shareholder and expect great things. But , suffice to say, Harry was not exactly sweating like Prince Andrew as he dealt with Katie’s quizzing. Enjoy.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has made a Tulu Kapi gold project (TKGM) update including that “the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines has allowed until 8 July 2022 for full project financing and launch commitments to be achieved”. So what of a share price still around 0.70p?

Today we have great news from Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). The Ministry of Mines in Ethiopia, not always the greatest battler for “the cause” has confirmed that Kefi has until July to secure funding for Tulu Kapi and get the project underway. I know that Harry Adams is dotting the “I”s and crossing the “t”s on the funding now and expect an announcement within the next couple of months, if not far sooner, that funding is secured. That will drive a big re-rate and I am a very happy holder for that reason. But what of the mystery of the $1 company?

Not, I stress, to Darren. I fired him yesterday as I have done about once a week for nine years. But to someone working at the Welsh Hovel. I explain what he does and ask if I should fire him. Answers in the comments section below. My sense is yes and that his behaviour is down to massive scale money printing and what comes with it. After that I consider the SEC investigation into the bear community then answer your emails on Kefi (KEFI) and what is happening in Ethiopia this very day. Then I look at Bidstack (BIDS) in some detail and finally at Argo Blockchain (ARB).

Ahead of West Ham vs Kidderminster and Wales vs Ireland I am obviously rushing to get things done. But this is a full length Bearcast covering Kefi (KEFI), Love Hemp (LIFE) and Powerhouse Energy (PHE)

These are the most-read articles and most listened-to Bearcasts of the week. The most-read non-Tom is Eurasia Mining: It’s Time to Fess Up and Tell the Truth SP Angel! by Evil Banksta at Number 8 ornumber 15 including bearcasts.

Shares in Kefi (KEFI) are a tad weaker today on bulletin board speculation that the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines has removed the Tulu Kapi mining license and awarded it to a recently established Hong Kong based company. Treat this as a buying opportunity for it is fake news- that is what you get from reading BBs. Here is what has happened. I have spoken to folks on the ground just now.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) states it “is pleased to provide its latest quarterly operational update”. Should it be though with long-suffering shareholders faced with a still below 0.80p share price?

I was madean insider on today’s placing a while back and I am not selling my shares in Kefi (KEFI) for reasons I explain. But I am pretty angry with Harry and understand the ire of many of you. I discuss this. Then it is onto Verditek (VDTK) which looks to owe us all a trading statement and is almost certainly bust already. The target there, at 2.9p, is 0p. I also have words for the FCA here on Financial Promotions and why it should be sending Richard “Gollum” Gill to jail. Finally I look at Eurasia Mining (EUA)

The top non-Tom article this week is The ShareProphets Sunday Pub Quiz #117 by your truly at number 12 or number 18 if you include the Bearcasts. 

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has made an “operational update” including that preparations continue for Tulu Kapi gold project launch with focus on satisfying all technical conditions by the end of January and preparing the community and that it is on track to update and upgrade the Mineral Resource Estimate at the Hawiah copper-gold project before the end of this year.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has said that the security situation has improved enough for it to re-start preparations for project launch at the Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia. The shares have responded up to 1p to buy but there should be much more to go. Ceteris paribus we see the shares at 3p+ very soon.

I discuss today’s US elections, what will happen and what it means. Suffice to say Let’s Go Brandon! Then I look in detail at the forthcoming IPO of ProCook Group Limited which you can access on Primary Bid HERE. I would not. I also look at Kefi (Kefi), Sensyne (SENS) and Berkeley Energia (BKY). There is more on Let’s Go Brandon and on US politics in a podcast special on my own website HERE

The top non-Tom article this week is Ariana – Oh No: Not More Good News! by Nigel Somerville, the Deputy Sheriff of AIM at number 11 or number 18 if you include the Bearcasts.

Writing on Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) last week with the shares down to 1.04p, we noted a media report clarification and concluded that a significant share price spark was likely on TKGM project progress which we expected within weeks. Now a “Tulu Kapi Update” announcement and the shares are currently up to 1.15p.

In today’s Bearcast, I look at Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), Optibiotix (OPTI), Kefi (KEFI), Nightcap (NGHT), VAST Resources (VAST) and finally at my old pal Richard Poulden’s Valereum Blockchain (VLRM), the current love interest of Big Dave Lenigas. 

I refer not to life at the Welsh Hovel where I have more workman issues but to Dev Clever (DEV) and my exposé of earlier HERE. I also comment on Verditek (VDTK), Deepverge (DVRG) run by journalist trolling arse Gerry Brandon, the serial AIM Rule Breaker, and Kefi (KEFI) where I remain a loyal, if somewhat trappist, shareholder.

It has been a bad day at the homestead, the Welsh Hovel, as I explain. I have also had a run in with Shipmans and other staff at  “the envy of the fecking world”  so am in a bad mood. I discuss Kefi (KEFI) and what is happening in Ethiopia. I know more than all the BB savants but there is only so much that I can say. Then I look at the David Beckham-linked swizzle at Guild ESports (GILD) and, by implication, Cellular Goods (CBX) both of which will end in tears and be posterboys for the bezzles at the fag end of a bull market.

I sart with a chat I had with my friend Lucian Miers on Demetri Kofinas and financial nihilism. Honest, it is more interesting than it sounds. Then to gold and why one might be losing faith. Lucian has.  Then to two stocks I own Kefi (KEFI) and MyHealthchecked (MHC) and one that I do not and which is on its way down the plughole: the fraud Chill Brands (CHLL).

More good news! Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has announced that a current Hawiah project drilling programme is nearing completion with approximately 14,000 metres of the 15,500 metre programme having now been drilled and “results indicate we will within a few months be in a position to report a larger resource at higher grade”.

I am not in the slightest bit apologetic. In fact I think she is rather pathetic and she deserved exposing for raising money on a false prospectus. But I am the pantomime villain of the Holt facebook page yet again today as I explain HERE. I then discuss Roquefort Investments (ROQ) a proposterous Standard Listed shell, Kefi (KEFI), Chill Brands (CHLL), and Nanosynth (NNN)

A Tulu Kapi funding announcement from Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) has helped the shares slightly higher. Positive then, but that the shares remain below the 2.375p of as recently as April tells it is not completely so.

I start with the disaster in my study where I am recording as you can see HERE. Then I look at Remote Monitored Systems (RMS), Amur Minerals (AMC), Kefi (KEFI), Dispersion Holdings (DEFI) and Argo Blockchain (ARB).

I start with a few reminiscences about how myself and George the Architect exposed the InternetQ fraud. Then I cover: Kefi (KEFI), Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and More Bull from it, Vast Resources (VAST), Purplebricks (PURP), Argo Blockchain (ARB), Verditek (VDTK) and Andrew Bell’s Red Rock Resources (RRR).

First up, after I nudged Paul Staines (Guido), we did get that hat tip as you can see HERE. Cheers Paul. I then look at Babcock (BAB), Boatman Capital and the corrupt deadwood press, Minoan (MIN), the fraud Zoetic (ZOE) and its missing results, Kefi (KEFI), Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and the missing shares and then at MyHealthChecked (MHC) where I expect the shares to zoom within weeks but which is causing me to spit nails.

I end with another appeal for brave Ian Westbrook. We are now just over £7,000 from making Neill Ricketts of Versarien (VRS) sweat like the loathsome pig he is. Please do donate HERE. I start with a comment on Kefi (KEFI) from the horse’s mouth, and a look at the fraud Zoetic (ZOE), Deepverge (DVRG), Moonpig (MOON), Uru Metals (URU) and the Zak Mir top of the market call.

Forgive the crude title or love it if you are Matthew and his dog. I could not resist. I start with a discussion of the tyranny of village facebook pages prompted by my latest spat with some villagers of Holt in Wales HERE. Then I look at Kefi (KEFI), Zoetic (ZOE), Kanobo (KNB), Supply@ME Capital (SYME), Block Energy (BLOE) and the bitcoin pump by America’s Neil Woodford and others. Ian Westbrook is now at just under £12,000 and has ten days to reach £20,000 to see the loathsome Neill Ricketts at the next stage. To call the bluff of the Versarien (VRS) bully, please donate HERE. PS Darren points out it is the 26th not the 27th. He is correct.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) “is pleased to provide an operational update”, but the shares are currently relatively flatlining at 1.85p so what’s the news?

I am so angry that I forgot to memtion bitcoin crashing again and the operational and financial gearing at drowning in red flags Argo Blockchain (ARB). So I am angry and the resultant bad language will delight Matthew and his dog. I consider Sosandar (SOS), Hurricane Energy (HUR), Bidstack (BIDS), Kefi (KEFI) and Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV).

The most read non-Tom  article is NMCN – refinancing discussions to address “working capital”. Really?… by Steve Moore at number four, or number seven including Bearcasts and Tom’s new shareshow. Which one is the best of the week? Tell me in the comments.

I start with a few thoughts on Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) in the wake of today’s scoop. Then it is onto more failings at the FCA and the scandal of its staff bonuses. Finally some thoughts on inflation which is now clearly starting to get a grip. Even so, I can’t stop myself holding a good bit of cash.  

BBMs are buzzing over another Ethiopian press article claiming that Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) is set to lose the Tulu Kapi license, this time on 23 June. I have corresponded with Harry Adams who says:

The most interesting fact this week is the Sunday Pub Quiz is #4. The most read non-Tom non-Darren article is The View from the Montana Log-Cabin as Gold stalls by Nigel Somerville at number 24, or number 31 including Bearcasts and Tom’s new shareshow. Which one is the best of the week? Tell me in the comments.

Writing on Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) earlier this week, we noted “pleased to announce” results but unacceptable boardroom greed. There is now a “Modification to Executive Bonus Plan” announcement which is a vicyory for Tom Winnifrith and great news for shareholders.

Tonight a new treat for Joshua and myself as we can celebrate wins on Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and Remote Monitored Systems (RMS). I also discuss Plutus Powergen (PPG) and Tern (TERN).

On Monday morning, Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) boss Harry Adams said he was unaware of anyone opposing a plan which would have seen him trouser a $1.5 million cash bonus – on top of his annual drawings of £337,000 – within two years just for doing his job. I made it bloody clear that I was livid and would vote against all proposals at the forthcoming AGM if Harry did not think again. Today he did the right thing and thought again.

In today’s podcast, I look at Alien Metals (UFO), have a lot more thoughts on Kefi (KEFI) where I agree with PL’s plan to align Harry Adams’ interests with ours as shareholders and have urged the company to consider it, at Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and at NightCap (NGHT), the financial creation of La Willingham.

This is all about Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), corporate governance, linking management reward to that for shareholders and how CEOs and Nomads and PR fluffies do not have a fecking scooby on how we dirty private investors invest and think. I am an angry man. But I also think these shares will quadruple.

I am a loyal shareholder in Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). Its boss Harry Adams is my friend. Or at least he was until today, he may not like me after this. And I think that the shares at just under 2p are incredibly cheap with the clear potential to multi-bag from here. But news of a potential $1.5 million cash handout for Harry is a bridge too far. I want to protest and will do so at the forthcoming AGM.

I start with my utter revulsion at Neil Woodford after today’s expose HERE – can anyone be in any doubt now that he is a truly evil and morally bankrupt individual? I end with a brief correction regarding Britain’s thirstiest share blogger. In between, I look at Rosslyn Data (RDT), Supply@ME Capital (SYME), Eurasia Mining (EUA), Kefi (Kefi) and MyHealthchecked (MHC).

The most read non-Tom article is Would I take a risk on Helium One exploration drilling? Definitely not! by Gary Newman at number eight, or  number 17 including Bearcasts and Tom’s new shareshow. Which one is the best of the week? Tell me in the comments.

I start with a few notes on work at the rain soaked Welsh Hovel and end with thanks to you all as the Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks total is almost at £29,000. If you are yet to chip in, how about you get us close to or past £29,000 tonight HERE. Then I discuss Simec Atlantic Energy (SAE), whether fund managers are always right and why they are sometimes out of their depth, Tern (TERN), Kefi (KEFI) and First Derivatives (FDP).

As first reported here on Sunday, there seems to be a certain amount of argy bargy in Ethiopia which some have taken to threaten the Tulu Kapi mine owned by Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI).  Yesterday, Kefi said that it had received no letter indicating the mine was under threat but overnight a statement appeared on the website of the ministry of mining.

There is a report in the Ethiopian press that Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) will receive a letter threatening it with the loss of its Tulu Kapi asset. The shares will slip on Monday and an RNS will be needed. I’d use that as an opportunity to average down as I have a company statement and I have also chatted at length to Harry Adams.

Tuesday saw great news from Saudi Arabia from Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) but where was that “funding secured” in Q1 news on Tulu Kapi we were all expecting? Er… Wednesday brought a Q1 update and guess what? Yes: funding is not yet secured. To Saudi first…

I start with a few comments on paedophiles as yet another one is brought to my attention from Warwick School. Then it is on to the tawdry world of insanity that is Valereum (VLRM), a true nest of ramping snakes. I then cover Sosandar (SOS), Atalaya (ATYM) and Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). Finally, Boohoo.com (BOO) has made a very generous donation to rogue bloggers for Woodlarks and we are almost 1/4 of the way to target. Please make a small donation tonight to get us to that 25% mark, we are just £600 short, HERE.

Listener Matthew W writes to say how much he enjoys bearcast but has requested a bit more swearing as it entertains him while walking his dog. I made a mental note to swear a bit about the fecking purple windows or Amazon and the melted Easter Egg but I clean forgot. Sorry Matthew. Instead I discuss: Kefi (KEFI), AEX Gold (AEXG), Remote Monitored Systems (RMS), UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) and Sound Energy (SOU).

Off to Shipston in a minute but before then I cover en passant: Kefi (Kefi), Serabi Gold (SRB) and 88 Energy (88E). I also beg you again to help Woodlarks – we are now just 7 Rogue Bloggers thanks to an injury and are just shy of £4,000 pledged - help get us over the £4,000 mark today HERE. The bulk of bearcast looks at the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and the hard numbers which show what a joke its Singapore deal is. Anyone holding these shares is truly insane. My target remains 0p.

It is such a good joke I think I make it about 5 times in what follows. And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with  Harry Adams of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), where i am a loyal shareholder expecting the shares to double or more by mid year, and also Dominic Frisby. The singer, songwriter, comedian, gold guru, bitcoin expert and libertarian is on great form especially on the bitcoin/gold issue and tips the only AIM stock he owns and explains why. You will laugh and learn with him. You can access the show HERE

KEFI Gold & Copper (KEFI) has produced a drilling update on its 34%-owned and operated Hawiah project in Saudi Arabia, emphasising significant intercept returns despite the programme seeking to ‘stretch’ some of the extremities of the deposit…

The most read non-Tom article this week is ShareProphets share tips of the year 2021 – No 1 a buy from Gary Newman  at a wonderful number one or at number three, including Bearcasts and Tom’s new shareshow.

Kefi Gold and Copper (KEFI) has served up more drilling news from its ongoing 13,000 metre programme at Hawiah, the copper play in Saudi, and conducted its AGM. As ever, most of the AGM statement is just a rehash of what we already knew. The votes on reappointing auditors and directors are a formality. But there are 2 very big takeaways…

The most read non-Tom article this week is Gold – vaccine No.2 offers just a temporary minor crunch by Nigel Somerville (for an unheard of sixth week in a row) at a thirsty number three or at number six, including Bearcasts and Tom’s new shareshow.

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) “is pleased to announce” ‘Oversubscribed Firm Placing to raise approximately £3 million. Conditional Subscription for cash, settlement of debt and accrued fees’ news, with Executive Chairman Harry Adams emphasising “the proceeds will enable us to maximise the value of both Tulu Kapi and Hawiah”…

The Mrs is about to go into the operating theatre so fingers crossed. In these strange times I am at home with Joshua watching Paw Patrol and it is a bit hard to think about shares but I comment on the Moderna Covid vaccine news, on Kefi (KEFI) and on Versarien (VRS).

The most read non-Tom article this week is Grim and Grimmer as Lockdown 2 heads this way – what I am selling at 8 AM tomorrow by Nigel Somerville (for an incredible fourth week in a row) at a wonderful number one (for the second week in a row) or at number six, including Bearcasts and Tom’s new shareshow. Which one is the best of the week? Tell me in the comments.

Earlier we outlined why on fundamentals Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) was such a strong buy. But one reader asks ‘are the natives not revolting out in Ethiopia?’

Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) “is pleased to confirm the recommencement of drilling at the company’s Hawiah project in Saudi Arabia, as anticipated following the recent positive Preliminary Economic Assessment” and that “hole HWD-070 intercepted 4.2 metres (estimated true width) of Volcanic Massive Sulphide style of mineralisation at a downhole depth of 557 metres (vertical depth 440 metres). The previous deepest hole into the Camp Lode intercepted copper-zinc- gold-silver mineralisation at vertical depth of 300 metres”…

Tom Winnifrith writes: In 2016 the polls, the entire media class and the betting markets predicted that Hillary Clinton would defeat Donald Trump. On election day we were assured that crooked Hillary had a 92% chance of winning and the fake news folks round at the BBC were preparing for the victory party. I studied US politics at Oxford and, having lived in America, have always been fascinated by the subject and my detailed state by state analysis led me to predict, from some weeks out, that Trump would win. So what of 2020 – voting is on Tuesday…

Kefi (KEFI) never seems to make it easy for we long suffering and loyal shareholders but on balance, the news on how it will fund the Tulu Kapi gold mine in Ethiopia is very good indeed.

I have done a rather good new podcast on the US election which annoyed champagne socialist Darren Atwater greatly which tells you how good it is. You can access it HERE. In today’s bearcast, I look at Centamin (CEY) and Kefi Copper & Gold (KEFI) as well as at almost insolvent con Supply@ME Capital (SYME).

It is a week exactly since my father’s death and I accept that my work is substandard and apologise. It is hard to lift myself from this slough of despond. In today’s podcast I cover Inspirit (INSP), Wishbone Gold (WSBN), Kefi (KEFI), Boohoo (BOO), Amigo (AMGO), Contango (CG0) and i-Nexus (INX).

Queens Colleage Oxford has enccouraged students to snitch on their peers and my daughter, now under house arrest, has fallen victim. What a mad and dark world we live in. After discussing this I look at all the mining stocks I own and one I sold, reviewing where we are now and where the real excitement lies at: Kefi (KEFI), Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV), Centamin (CEY), AEX Gold (AEXG), Ariana (AAU), Asiamet (ARS), Jubilee Metals (JLP), Pensana (PRE) and Red Rock Resources (RRR).

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new, I hope, weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with  Chris “3 brains” Bailey on his dirty secret, the real economy why UK shares are so cheap, on gold and his 3 top picks. There is also a detailed interview with the boss of AEX Gold (AEXG) who is not really 13 years old plus I discuss a new stock I have bought into heavily and also why Supply@ME Capital (SYME) has this week hoisted its biggest red flag yet, is a scam and is worth 0p. You can access the show HERE

Kefi Gold and Copper (KEFI) has announced half-year results, but also more significantly “Hawiah Preliminary Economic Assessment”…

Dan Levi makes grave charges about Peter Brailey today but has no proof. Peter says he will swear on oath the accusations are false so how on earth can I sack him? I am off to Shipston today clutching a DNA test kit but before going, I will leave you with some words on Dev Clever (DEV), Urban Exposure (UEX), Eurasia Mining (EUA), Kefi (KEFI) and Red Rock Resources (RRR) where I hope Andrew Bell appreciates the literary imagery.

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new, I hope, weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with bear raider Matt Earl on the markets, the real economy and on 2 stocks where he is short (IQE & Boohoo) and one where he might be soon (Future PLC). we focus on Boohoo. There is also a detailed interview with Andrew Bell of Red Rock Resources (RRR). Its shares are 0.82p and what Bell says is ground breaking. I am on record as saying I shall eat my hat on video if the shares are not 1.26p before Christmas. I now reckon 1.65p is achievable and this is explained very clearly. Finally I return to the liars at Verditek (VDTK), why it is drowning in red flags and more. You can access the show HERE

What follows is one third of a special report out on Friday on HotStockRockets. To catch the rest (i.e. the other two stocks), you need to sign up here. Before the weekend, we published this. Tom Winnifrith writes: Okay, let me clarify. These are not necessarily the cheapest in terms of fundamentals vs price although they are cheap indeed. What I hope to show you are the three stocks which on a one month view have the greatest upside based on fundamentals and catalysts for a re-rate, not just hype from Bulletin Board morons.

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new, I hope, weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with bear raider Lucian Miers on the markets, the real economy, his longs and shorts and gold and with Harry Adams of Kefi (KEFI) ahead of the most exciting six weeks of his career. Listen carefully to what Harry says, having just bought more Kefi a couple of weeks ago I am delighted with certain matters he raises. Finally, I look at Dev Clever (DEV) and why it should face a full stewards!. You can access the show HERE

I have mentioned the sale of leasehold properties by housebuilders such as Barratt Developments (BDEV) before and regard their actions as utterly wrong. I am an ethical capitalist, they are profiteering. So I welcome the news that the Competition & Markets Authority is now investigating. It is not why I would not own shares in this sector but it is good news anyway. I also cover Kefi (KEFI), Vela (VELA) and the scoundrels at con Supply@ME Capital (SYME), its latest “news” and past lies.

I start with a look at Boohoo (BOO) shares which are failing on the back of reports in a paper founded on profits from the slave trade that suppliers in Leicester are using slave labour. Then I ask whether Luke Johnson or I am more sociable and what this means about folks stopping work from home. Then onto gold stocks in general: Hummingbird (HUM), Kefi (KEFI), Red Rock Resources (RRR), and Ariana (AAU). I look at Amigo (AMGO), Attis Oil (AOGL), and finally why today’s shocking Versarien (VRS) expose really could indicate a major scandal. Footnote:

My main podcast today was a history lesson for the loathsome BBC HERE. In terms of bearcast, I am not so inspired today. I promise I shall be more on fire tomorrow but do comment on why Harry Adams of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) is share dealing like a dervish. I also look at the rebel at Inspirit (INSP) and explain why I think he is doomed to fail and why anyone buying the shares needs their head examined.

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new, I hope, weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch some sparky interviews with Nigel Somerville on gold and where it goes next, on how to play the gold bull market, what stocks to buy and what non stocks to buy and how a gold bug positions the rest of his portfolio. Then Paul Atherley from a non gold miner, Pensana Rare Earths (PRE), a play on all this green shit everyone – bar me – seems to love. And I explain why I have bought Pensana shares even though I think man-made global warming is utter bunkum. Finally two stocks where the valuation is insane: Dev Clever (DEV) and Trainline (TRN). You can access the show HERE

I start this bonus bearcast prompted by your emails and comments while I started to make some Damson Jam with Joshua with a few comments on the wisdom or otherwise of averaging down with reference to Wishbone Gold (WSBN). Then I look at NoGold’s claim (poor fellow having no gold exposure of late) that gold is being driven higher by herd behaviour. Finally, I am told that Messrs Andrew Bell (Red Rock Resources -RRR), Colin Bird (Xtract Resources – XTR, and others), and Harry Adams (Kefi) are only looking like heroes rather than zeros, as has been the case for many years, because gold is going higher. Referencing also Mr Kerim Sener of Ariana Resources (AAU), I discuss this and the nature of investing in mining stocks. 

Loyal and very excited shareholder Tom Winnifrith writes: KEFI Gold and Copper (KEFI), you will note the name change, has announced the maiden Mineral Resource for the Hawiah copper project located in Saudi Arabia. This marks the start of two months which could and should be transformational for Kefi on two fronts and which will, we believe, have the potential to see the shares, now 2p offer, more than double…

I start with a few other comments on Greek Hovel matters. Then I move on to talk about three companies which I shall be or are discussing with the FCA: Zenith (ZEN), Eqtec (DOG), and Verditek (VDTK). Then onto NatWest Group (NWG) where I apologise for my bad language. Finally my thoughts on the gold price and comments on gold stocks I own: Centamin (CEY), Ariana (AAU), Kefi (KEFI), Bluebird Merchant (BMV), and Xtract (XTR).

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) “is pleased to provide its latest quarterly operational update”. This is with the update including on its current flagship Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia, “we have received significant interest to potentially provide the outstanding asset level equity and other forms of duly subordinated investment. Our discussions are progressing with Ethiopian investors and international specialist mining financiers, with the aim of securing the required project equity ahead of closing the full financing package in October 2020” and then also “we are also encouraged by the recent approval by the Saudi Cabinet of a new mining investment law, which is a very positive development for our two other advanced projects - Hawiah (copper-gold) and Jibal Qutman (gold) projects in Saudi Arabia”…

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new, I hope, weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch some sparky interviews with Richard Poulden on the collapse of empires but also of the West at every level.  Also covered is the death of oil and how we should save our finances against such a backdrop and with Kerim Sener of Ariana (AAU). I also explain why Supply@ME Capital (SYME) is a crooked zero and I review the six short ideas from the previous five shows, one of which is already a zero. You can access the show HERE

If there is a stockmarket bandwagon underway, Dave Lenigas will be the first to get on board.

I have spent most of the day recording videos for MineProphets and should warn you that Zak Mir has served up a double kiss of death. Anyway the content is - forgive my conceit - excellent so please book your seat now HERE.  In the podcast I discuss scumbags at Blue Rock Diamonds (BRD), Great Western Mining (GWMO) and its scumbag broker Novum, Kefi Minerals (KEFI) where I was wrong about something and Big Sofa (BST).

The most read non-Tom article this week is Rockrose Energy – I got this one wrong and cost Tom £9000 – sorry! by Peter Brailey is at solipsistic number seven or number 14 including Bearcasts and Tom's new shareshow.

I start with why I am so sceptical, even cross about Rishi Sunak's mini budget yesterday. Some measures are profilgate, others downright counter productive. Then it is onto Eurasia (EUR) and the red flags that make be sceptical although I would be happy, for him at least, if my pal Christian got rich. Then onto Kefi (KEFI) and another gold stock I own and why they could really rip higher on a three month view. Finally I answer a reader question about Optibiotix (OPTI). No my faith is not waning at all. Au contraire, after a company chat earlier.... 

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new, I hope, weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode to access and you can either listen or watch very sparky interviews with our Gary Newman on mining stocks to buy, why gold is NOT going to soar, a compelling £1.7 billion non-mining short and fishing shares, Harry Adams the boss of Kefi (KEFI) - a stock I own - and myself on why Cineworld (CINE) deserves to go bust, wont, but is a stonking short none the less. You can access the show HERE

KEFI Minerals KEFI) has updated on its flagship Tulu Kapi gold project including that prospective Ethiopian private sector investor ANS Mining “has not met the published deadline of 30 June 2020 for making its initial investment”. So why currently a share price rise, back above 1p?...

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has updated that the joint venture company Tulu Kapi Gold Mines Share “has now signed off all capital expenditure, operating and financing requirements as the final 2020 Tulu Kapi plan. These detailed and comprehensive project updates and revisions were within expectations and show a reduced overall project funding requirement”...

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has updated further on the ongoing exploration programme at the Hawiah project in Saudi Arabia, emphasising “pleased with the results to date of the drilling… Hawiah already appears to have a more valuable metal content than Tulu Kapi in Ethiopia”...

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has updated its investors with news including that it “is pleased to advise that the National Bank of Ethiopia, Ethiopia's central bank, has now approved the signed term sheets with the project finance banks who are expected to provide the long term development debt finance to the company's Tulu Kapi Gold Project” and “received confirmation that the National Bank of Ethiopia has now registered the past investment in the project”. These are significant steps...

Over the weekend I hope to bring you photos of a semi complete strawberry patch here at the Welsh Hovel and also of my first long training walk for Woodlarks. I donated £1000 yesterday and young Steve Moore also made a generous gift so we are now at 24% of the £48,000 we need to ensure Woodlarks survives. Please donate HERE. In the podcast I look at Whitbread (WTB), Catenae (CTEA) and at where we are in the gold shares buying cycle, referring to three I own and am very excited: Bluebird Merchant (BMV), Kefi (KEFI ) - no sniggering at the back please - and Xtract (XTR). Again no sniggering.

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) “has conditionally raised £3.7 million, before expenses, through a placing… at an issue price of 0.65 pence per ordinary share”, with Chairman Harry Adams arguing it “stands KEFI in promising financial shape and highlights the upside offered by its asset base”. But haven’t we heard similar before?...

Yes, the Mrs and Joshua broke lockdown to go see the mother-in-law. Naturally I was keen to join them but gave two reasons why I could not. On that matter the Government has no strategy that works for ending the chaos it created. It is a shambles. I explain what all the fuss is about at Fox Marble (FOX) - you can see for yourself HERE. Then look at San Leon (SLE), Kefi (KEFI), Mosman (MSMN) and Bidstack (BIDS). The moral of the tale, swot up on your show videos tonight HERE.

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has updated including “despite the need to adjust and reschedule many tasks due to COVID-19, the company remains focused on the preparations and finance milestones to enable major site activities to start at Tulu Kapi from October”, with it also noting “an important new development”...

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has provided a quarterly operational update, including “subscription and shareholder documents are in the process of review by Government departments and ANS syndicate members for execution by the TKGM partners during March”…

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has announced the passing of all resolutions at the Tulu Kapi gold project’s joint venture (TKGM) General Meeting, and this having “cleared the way for the closing of the ANS equity subscription”…

ShareProphets’ favourite technical analyst, Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDailyGold.com, has been very bullish on Gold for a while. His short term view has been that gold is in a correction but that one should treat that as a great opportunity to get positioned for his long term view that a big rise is on the way. Well, it does start to look as though he is being vindicated.

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) “is pleased to announce that the initial drilling programme at the company's Hawiah prospect in Saudi Arabia has demonstrated the continuous presence of massive sulphides directly below 4km of the gossanous Hawiah ridgeline”…

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) “is pleased to advise… the subscription agreement into the project company, Tulu Kapi Gold Mines Share Company was duly executed by ANS Mining Share Company on Sunday 5 January… The existing TKGM shareholders, KEFI and the Ethiopian Government, have also approved the issue of TKGM shares to ANS Mining”. A further step towards a “first modern mine development in Ethiopia”…

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) is “pleased to announce” financial and Tulu Kapi project moves...

In today's podcast I look at the lessons from the Oracle (ORCP) debacle, at gold miners and how M&A will destroy value over the next 24 months, at Kefi (KEFI), Ariana (AAU) and at long term AIM uber dog Sareum (SAR)

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) “is pleased to announce that it has selected its preferred project infrastructure finance proposal for the company's Tulu Kapi gold project, being a bank loan based proposal recently received from two leading African banks as underwriters and co-lenders” – and the shares have responded circa 30% higher on the day, to around 1.65p…

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has updated on the Tulu Kapi gold project including of a launch ceremony at the Second International Ethiopian Mining Conference and Exhibition and “the project's 24-month development schedule is expected to start in January 2020 and the project consortium action plan has now been agreed”…

This chart, from Visual Capitalist, visualises the debt the countries of the world hold. Now, I'd be the first to say that if you issue your own currency, then so what? But you may beg to differ. 

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has followed recent positive news from its Ethiopia development project with it now “pleased to report encouraging results at the start of the scout drilling programme at the company's Hawiah exploration licence in Saudi Arabia”…

Updating on KEFI Minerals (KEFI) towards the end of last week we noted the shares soaring back above 1p as it was Government arrangements resolved, Tulu Kapi project development looks ahoy. It is thus not surprising that the company “has received notice from its existing working capital providers to convert the remaining outstanding amount of £657,500 under the loan note issued on 5 August 2019 into new KEFI ordinary shares… at a price 0.68 pence per share”. However…

Previously updating on KEFI Minerals (KEFI), with the shares at 0.72p we stated it was somewhat understandable that the Ethiopian Government is taking time to finalise how it manages its project shareholding but positive signs for a near-term catalyst so BUY. now we have a “Project Administrative Arrangements Resolved” announcement – and the shares have raced ahead to 1.02p-1.14p. You should have followed our advice but it is not too late!

I start with the Woodlarks Christmas Grotto appeal. We are so close to target - please donate now and let's get there today. Make your donation HERE. Then, thanks to some utterly dodgy Survation polls, I offer you a slam dunk General Election bet to take. After that it is on to Versarien (VRS), Escape Hunt (ESC) - another awesome call from yours truly - Purplebricks (PURP), Kefi Minerals (KEFI) and TheWorks.co.uk (WRKS) - Woof, woof.

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has updated confirming “receipt… of all the Government permits and independent consultants reports required for closing the project equity financing and triggering the development of the project. The only outstanding matter now is for the Ethiopian Government to resolve certain internal administrative matters”…

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has announced a first drill hole at the Hawiah target “has intercepted a 15.8 metre interval (true width estimated at 8 metres) of massive sulphide at a vertical depth of 125 metres”, with Executive Chairman Harry Adams adding it “confirms our exploration model and reinforces our confidence in the area's high prospectivity for gold and copper”…

KEFI Minerals (KEFI) has announced results for the first half of 2019 and that “the remainder of 2019 is expected to be a very exciting period for the company and we look forward to providing regular updates as matters progress”…
