    Quarterly report just out, this looked nice.
    5m is open pit and 5g per ton is high grade so no wonder Chinese have taken an interest

    The gold at 5g/t is Biely Vrch and that's years away. And that's if the community backs down/is over-ruled. They are very anti-mine at the moment.

    Well maybe 5m is not quite open pit or that easy. Greenpeace seems to say low grades make it chemically polluting so the higher grade reduces that arguement

    I got some BP recently, this result seems better then I expected. No massive clean water penalty? They got very lucky considering the well dumped 50k barrels a day for months
    Presuming compensation stays in this region and they stay out of trouble, 500 is easily reasonable and 600 if any deal/exploration success

    I'm considering adding some BP alongside my RDSB holding.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    It is yet to resolve a host of civil claims related to the disaster, including penalties under the Clean Water Act for every barrel of oil spilled. The scale of these fines could vary from $3.5bn to $18bn depending whether BP is found grossly negligent,

    Decided to take a punt on defence firm Chemring today @ 218p - p/e under 6 and yield 6.4% well covered by profits. Here's a link to a write up by MI - hoping the knife does not have too much further to fall.

    Apparently the clean water penalty has yet to be decided, along with the civil claims which were awaiting the outcome of this case. It appears BP is still in limbo, with unlimited liability.:(

    I hold a few hundred RDSB at an average of just under £20 am considering either topping up this holding or adding BP for diversity.

    I'm holding 1% of my portfolio in BP (probably made about as much as a savings account in the 11 years I have had it) because I wouldn't want to miss out, but have become so used to bad or indifferent news I don't feel confident to add any more.:o
