Kiliwani well (Aminex LON.AEX) commissioning going 'extremely well': ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 5 Jul 2016

Gas production at Kiliwani North has reached 30mln cubic feet per day as the ramp up phase of the field in Tanzania quickens.

The rate, which equates to 5,000 barrels oil equivalent per day, is a very good rate of production for Aminex (LON.AEX) chief executive Jay Bhattacherjee told Proactive, but a well test next month will see if this flow rate can be pushed even higher.

Kiliwani will provide cashflow while Aminex develops the potential of the Ruvuma licence, also in Tanzania, which is much larger than Kiliwani and has the potential to be ‘something special’ says Bhattacherjee.

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC (LON:CMCL) raises dividend 22%: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 5 Jul 2016

Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC (LON:CMCL) CFO Mark Learmonth tells Proactive Investors that the company has increased the quarterly dividend by 22% while it delivers on its growth strategy. "That higher dividend will be paid at the end of July and we expect that to be he new base for the dividend going forward,... still keeping quite a lot of gas in the tank to allow us flexibility to do other things" he says.

Learmonth said the company is in a position where their cash generation has improved substantially but notes the dividend increase is not a result of higher gold prices or windfall gains. "That is helpful, but even if the gold price had stayed at 1050-1100, our cash generation would be improving significantly. This dividend is underpinned by consistent, solid delivery against the plan that we have outlined nearly two years ago" he says.

WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast July 5, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 4 Jul 2016

The WTI Crude Oil markets did very little during the day on Monday, as American traders were away for the holiday. However, it does continue to show a bit of bearishness, and I believe that we are going to continue to drift a little bit lower. Ultimately, the market should try to reach down to the $46 handle, which of course is a supportive “floor” in this market. A break down below there would send this market much lower. Any rally at this point in time should be a selling opportunity and less of course we can make a fresh, new high, something that could be a bit difficult. A break above the downtrend line should be a buying opportunity as well. However, if we break down below the $46 level, this market should fall apart completely.

'Brexit is an example of what nationalists and populists can do'

Published on 4 Jul 2016

This week we focus on the fallout from Brexit. Our guest is Bulgarian President Rossen Plevneliev. He is saddened by the result but he urges the European family to stand together in this time of crisis.

As Bulgarian head of state he points out that Brexit and the referendum is an example of how direct democracy "can help but can also create problems for democracies if it falls into the hands of nationalists". He denounces the way that politicians misled people with "false" arguments during the Brexit campaign and declares that "Brexit is also an example of what nationalists and populists can do".

He compares migration to an earthquake that you can’t stop but that you can at least try to control, by protecting the borders but also by addressing the issues in Syria and in Iraq.

I can face this pressure or stress every day, because it's my everyday job. And nobody can't deny that this is a tough job. Of course, it is tough. Because on the one hand we have to fight against criminals, and on the other hand – do some reforms.
