Ivanhoe Mines Ltd T.IVN

Ivanhoe's silence is deafening!

[bogfit]

It's no secret that southern Africa in general and Zambia in particular will have a growing deficit in electricity, producing competing interests within that country itself.  Who’s to say the Zambian government will send 24/7 power to Ivanhoe when its own population has power for a few hours a day, or a couple days a week.

A continuation of climate change denial won’t supply a single kilowatt and any reliance upon a “new diesel generator” saving the day is problematic.  First you must order the generator, build the unit, have it disassembled, shipped to Africa, reassembled, and given a shake-down run.  Then all you need is a steady 400 mile line of diesel trucks or rail cars to supply the juice.  The delivery has to be reliable as the Postman i.e. neither wind nor rain, nor flood or armed insurgency can delay the fuel to the generator- OR YOU HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE PLANT.

Now I don’t know what going to happen, unfortunately neither does anyone else.  I can see the developments on the ground, but have no grasp of the ability for Ivanhoe to continue operations if Zambia withholds its power.  If anyone on this board feels they have a plan to address this most critical issue, please share it with all of us.

IVN is moving up tomorrow.  thankyou BogF***

" diesel generators are readily available.."   There are no generators to the specifications required to operate their plant 24/7 in Africa today.  Please provide manufacturers name and model of generator you believe is readily available if you beleive I am mistaken.   " if you think management isn't so far ahead of the issue you're crazy.. "   Well,

bogfit, I was the first here to speak to this exact issue a good while ago, as pertains to alternate forms of electrical energy generation, Vanadium Redox Battery Storage Systems and precisely which Robert M. Friedland associated electrical energy storage systems manufacturing company technologies would likely be employed on behalf of Ivanhoe Mines Limited to utilize entirely off peak hours

Excellent post 1student.. thanks for stepping in with facts.. there's obviously more than 1 way to supply electricity to a mine.. and for fogbrain to think its going to be supplied by 1 generator is ludicrous to say the least.. LMAO..!

[bogfit]

Get up off the floor as I never submitted an electrical generation strategy for Ivanhoe.  You say generators are available in Africa.  Okay, I asked you to name the manufacturer and model that is available as you have assured the board, and instead came back with a strawman argument of your own making. I can’t wait until you or some other shareholder makes it clear that the generators

[bogfit]

Rude insults aside (hardy that of a successful argument) nothing in your post identifies what is actually being done or accomplished at this time.  The existence of alternative energy systems is not in question.  What I am “harping on” (your words) and what you wish to totally ignore is the time factor for installation of an energy generation outside of the grid.  I don’t pretend to

[Moemoney42]

Talk about contradicting your own words.. quotes in one paragraph "I don’t pretend to be an expert in power production nor storage," Then goes on to say  "contrary to as it appears to be in your case, confusing what could be technically feasible" So who are you to say what's "technically feasible" as a "non-expert" Facts are your fear

Hey boggy.. I'm NOT "EDITING" .. I'm quoting.. there's a difference.. and when  you get caught in BSing the crowd you suddenly critcize posters character.. isn't that the pot calling the kettle black..!!  Like I said I have NO NEED to educate you.. but I'll certainly take the opportunity to point out your baseless bashing.. that I'll take time for

Bogfit, I am going to leave you with the following reiteration of the facts. "As I told everybody here long ago, Robert M. Friedland already has the electrical energy supply side of the equation for all Ivanhoe Mines Limited projects covered. Robert M. Friedland invariably tends to see the solutions when all you see is problems. Thanks for coming out. As you were.

[bogfit]

"I am going to leave you with the following reiteration of the facts..."   That's the problem - you can't distinguish fact from opinion.  Your faith in Robt. Friedland might well be justified, my only question is why hasn't the company shared their plan with their shareholders, after (and that's the important part) after Zambia announces shortages, rationing
