VV I've been following Vanadium as well mostly, as I'm investing in uranium and quite a few uranium companies have a vanadium byproduct. I'm not convinced though. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering and personally have no clue which battery technology is going to win. People are talking about nickel, cobalt, graphite, vandaium, lithium, etc. What combination of these is going to be used for EV batteries and what for energy storage from renewables is anyone's guess really.
By all means give it a go but IMO it's a bit speculative. I'd rather invest in copper which is definitely going to benefit from an EV revolution but at the same time I don't risk losing lots of money which is the risk with vanadium if a competing tech becomes commercially adopted. I heard someone saying that "copper will be the new oil". I quite like Antofagasta, just still a bit too expensive atm I feel.
Cheers Super. Lithium ion tech that Mr Musk is involved in has greater energy density than Vanadium based batteries and makes it the preferred choice for devices and vehicles. However it suffers as we know from severe degredation over time (fairly useless after a few years) and can overheat/catch fire. It isnt really scalable to store large amounts of energy safely and economically. Vanadium
batteries are by all accounts. Energy storage connected to renewable sources is the next big thing. So this company as a low cost primary producer is in with a good shout.
Btw With gold at $1446 tonight and decision day tomorrow, im cautiously optimistic about ACA bouncing further in the morning.
I saw a Bloomberg article on Elon Musk and they said he actually had no intention to keep making cars, his intention is once the other big car manufacturers come in to concentrate only on making batteries for his and the other car manufacturers. So someone who knew him well said his long term goal was to become a battery manufacturer to all, however the Company you have found does look a good punt as they have fallen from say 49p to less than half. Well spotted.
