News: TTW Toptung's application for funding of topaz research approved, page-9

Coal and Gas - if you aren't holding stock - why so exercised by the current Chair and direction? The Krucible success in their Phosphate gambit was the rankest of good luck, and the company was in a death spiral under AB, particularly as he was spending very freely.
LP has returned money to shareholders, is incredibly careful with shareholders cash and, I am sure, has executed the drilling program at Torrington with his usual professional flair. The technical potential of topaz in refractories is well proven, and it has the added upside of being a possible fluorine source, quite apart from the demonstrated Tungsten. Note that in the last resource update they post >2Mt of silexite ore at ~17% topaz - so that is a very significant amount of topaz. Torrington is reported as one of the worlds largest topaz deposits. Not sure why you are so scathing, this appears to be an appropriate and careful use of shareholders funds.
