I agree with win-win entirely. Exploitation is bad for everyone. I do have to say though that many investors have lost a lot of money over this recent two year delay and that puts off new investment. Things need to move quickly now, to regain confidence in the country
In Tanzania, we are about to rewrite this narrative of the sector and address its underlying challenges
That is the feeling I get from news coming out of the country and I very much welcome it. As an investor in Aminex I cannot wait for us to resume drilling in Ruvuma following our licence being granted
Standby please !
AminexiaThank you, that comment is very much appreciated and I'm sure my fellow investors will be very happy to read it
I found the comments uplifting and the fact he added a like to each of my comments indicates to me we were on the same wavelength. Of course you can read into it as you will, but things are looking quite close right now and I am beginning to believe more and more that October will be the month for Aminex. A further tweet later reiterated what news had come in the last few days where Ntorya is one of the four fields that have been mentioned...
“The Government has outlined four new fields with high drilling potential for natural gas and called for potential investors to conduct further studies.”- Energy Minister, Medard Kalemani during 3rd Tanzania Oil & Gas Congress at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre
