Had a top up today shouldnt see these lows for much longer.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Pakistan's first 50-megawatt gasified Thar coal reserves project is nearly complete.

Science and Technology Planning Commission member Samar Mubarakmand said that the Thar Coal Project would become operational in December 2013.

This is good news for Pakistan's government, which remains largely dependent on energy imports, The News Online reported Wednesday.

During an interview with the state-run PTV television channel, Mubarakmand stated that electricity generated from the Thar gasified coal plant would have a minimal cost and that Pakistan has sufficient coal reservoirs to provide electricity for the nation for five centuries, The News Online said.

Mubarakmand's optimism was countered by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, who has held Mubarakmand responsible for the pace of work on the delayed Thar coal project.

"Frankly speaking, Dr. Mubarakmand's work is slow," Shah said during a news conference Wednesday in Hyderabad.

The Sindh government has divided the Thar project into eight coal-mining blocks, with Block-V was given to Mubarakmand, a former nuclear scientist, for the underground coal gasification facility.

Mubarakmand stated that work on the Thar project was progressing and the first 50-megawatt gasified project was almost completed. The project had been approved by the Executive Committee of National Economic Council in 2010.

Two years ago the Central Development Working Party approved Mubarakmand's two projects: "the creation of new processing facilities (for production of coal gas by underground coal gasification)" and "the creation of new processing facilities (for handling and purification of the natural gas)."

At the time Mubarakmand expressed optimism that the project's success could encourage foreign investment by premier foreign companies involved with the development of gasification of coal reserves, telling journalists that several foreign companies had shown interest in the project.

Since then however the Thar project has largely only attracted the interest of foreign consultants, with the sole investment interest being with the exception of Pakistan's Engro Corp., which has obtained an exploration bloc.

In addition, British consultant Oracle Coalfields is preparing a feasibility report and Cougar Energy are interested, while Canadian company SNC Lavalin Environment Inc. is analyzing the costs of the Thar's project required transmission lines.

A recent report by energy analytical company Wood Mackenzie on Southeast Asia's future energy sources reported that coal will be its top priority up to 2020 or even beyond, given its regional availability, despite popular perceptions that natural gas will be the region's top fuel.

21% up not bad on a down day.

Another piece of the puzzle RGM now at an all time bargain price.

Direct Nickel Pty Ltd

Wintech Group Ltd (ASX:WTG), a company admitted to the official list of the Australian Stock Exchange whose Ordinary Shares are currently suspended from trading, has issued a Notice of Meeting for a general meeting to be held on 2 September 2011, at which proposals for the acquisition of at least 80% of DNi and a change of name to Direct Nickel Ltd will be proposed. Upon passage of the resolutions, Regency expects that it would in due course be offered shares equivalent to approximately 7% of the issued capital of Wintech Group Ltd. and that WTG would apply for re-quotation of its shares on the ASX.

No quick mining changes, says PNG leader

Liam Fox, Port Moresby

Last Updated: Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:03:00 +1000

Papua New Guinea's prime minister has sought to assure foreign investors there will be no dramatic changes to the country's mining legislation.

There was alarm in mining circles in August after Mining Minister Byron Chan said resource ownership would be switched from the state to traditional landowners.

But Prime Minister Peter O'Neill has said there will be no legislative changes in the foreseeable future.

He said there will be changes, but only after comprehensive consultation with the mining industry and other stakeholders.

Mr O'Neill did not foreshadow what those changes could be.

He said he has warned his ministers to stop giving misleading signals to foreign investors.

The mining industry provides 80 per cent of PNG's foreign export earnings.

A few post from the other side on todays conference call

Dear Shareholders and Colleagues,
I would like to inform you that, in order to update shareholders on the Companies activities and answer questions, a conference call has been arranged for today at 1.30 pm UK time.

Dni delaying listing until asx sentimemt improves.
Rgm have assisted DNi in purchasing final part for test plant in Perth, and will get more shares plus options.
Being pushed about cash flow and is indicating that when Ascot gets aim listing could be sold, but very bullish about ORCP referencing good management and ideas about de-watering technology in low grade coal market. Also indicates could sell JMS in the future.

He was asked about the funding for the drill campaign at Mambare and said that the less likely outcome was that RGM would fund it themselves He also said that in this market with RGM at 2 p equity issue out of the question. He inferred that when the time came the RRR sp and the resource itself could well lift RGM to a price where equity coukd be issued. He akso muted that both RGM and DNi have discussed tbe possibility of floating a "project company" to help with funding.
Throughout there was a continual reference to JMS shareholding and royalty, which leads me to believe the board will decide to sell. How much I guess is the question.
He also mentioed that the individual parts of the DNi technology have been proven and DNi have no reason to doubt the complete process. Will know early part of next year.
