LOL ... Given the operational update replacement at 9.38, I am now convinced that my words at 8.13 were read!!
So ATM, if you need a good editor, give me a buzz.
Picking over the wording in todays RNS I suspect that this:-
"Although the higher stripping resulted in an increase in the AISC during the year, the exposure of the orebody's grade, diversity of minerals including lithium, and scale at depth according to our geological model, will start to become glaringly apparent placing the operations in a robust position to capitalise on the rebound in the commodities markets for all our products."
Is largely the reason why we are still seeing this.
"Since the launch of the Strategic Process to identify an appropriate partner for the lithium development, leading international organisations within the lithium value chain have visited the Company's assets in Namibia, have conducted mineralogical test work, and have implemented detailed due diligence. Andrada has narrowed down the various non-binding indicative offers that have been received to date and discussions are ongoing with the objective of progressing to final binding bids."
Something that's "glaringly apparent" will encourage a better binding offer than not I should think.

Morning all, I know there’s a theory that every Rns is a reason to sell , but after reading that update today , us now being timescale wise yet another month further down the line , then adding in what AV said in that previous I/v with Proactive about the strategic process & literally stating huge news was on the horizon , I’m just a bit baffled as to why peeps would be offloading now when we must be fast approaching a pivotal juncture , altho look I do accept the counter views expressed here of late as a possible reason for some losing patience .
However, as Early bird rightly says we must be getting close anytime soon hopefully . Sounds all good to me .GLA
Well what was not to like about that RNS? The only critism is that it looks like someone forgot to put the column headings on Table 1. Too much excitement?
Cheeky few for me today .
Operational update reads very well and pleasantly surprised by the huge reduction in AISC.
Happy holder, can take comfort from the fact the company is delivering operationally. Strategic partnership negotiations sound hot and at the sharp end. Tick tock

Bang goes the leaky share theory 😳
TDT
Every aspect of the production increasing and improving, and costs coming down. Strategic partner bids being narrowed down,well happy
That's decent, realistic, factual.
No b.s. in there, good snapshot of the business.
Note they are stockpiling and not just selling.
RNS out . Reads well and inline with what was expected . Happy

The Chinese still looking to buy up more battery metal mines,just shows you how large the demand will be going forward
Andrada is a leaky share and so far we've seen no sign news might be just around the corner. If volume and the share price pick up then an RNS will follow. Until then............
TDT
Morning Richy,yes I believe it should be this week,be good to see how the tantalums doing,with that first shipment gone the other week,and stockpiling lithium, hopefully be sold I to the spot market soon,
Quarterly update due this week ?
Sorry old news popped up lol
Https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/mercedes-benz-is-able-willing-invest-capital-mining-ceo-2023-03-30/ this would make a nice partner
Take comfort from this sentence in the 12th. March RNS.
Strategic process
Indicative, non-binding offers for a partnership interest at the Lithium project level have been received and discussions with potential partners are progressing well.
"offers"
"potential partners"
Plural.
If you have several different interested parties in something you have for sale would you be in any hurry to make a decision? I think the longer this goes on the better the potential outcome.
TDT
Fairish points catchingpigeons, but he has had long enough and the updates are very weak, and we all know many AIM companies that do this, the best ones just go out and do it (like say err KODAL).
going back to the video didnt he say something like we are conservative in the planning but quick in the execution ?
i think i could re-write that for him quite easily. its not as if he even needs regulatory approval to my knowledge, the biggest hold up is usually with African regulation so if this is just andrada and a bunch of bankers assessing bids its taken far too long.
and bidders will not wait forever, they want the resource and usually with anything in life you are only really patient if the item is really unique (ours isnt) and / or you think you are getting a steal. so something doesnt add up for me, UNLESS he is carving up the whole territory to multiple parties for seperate bids but i dont think that is the case because of lack of resource definition in some areas.
That would be the other thing, are the bids awaiting more drill results, in which case sort of fair enough but he should communicate that, but doesnt seem to.
The amount of years I’ve been in this game I never take anything for granted and I think we all know in the mining game timescales are never short they’re always being extended for one reason or another as that’s the nature of the beast i do get where ur coming from TT but on re playing that video which I know is a proactive special but when he says the size of the deposit is a behemoth and he also says he knows that all investors are waiting for the partnership news and then follows it with there is big news on the horizon … I just can’t believe he would say that if that wasn’t the case surely . I know don’t call u Shirley but after seeing Robin Mayes ‘ video & putting all the pieces together with this one I think despite him overstating matters in the past there’s no doubt in my mind he knows exactly what’s coming here , so I guess u either run with that or u still have your doubts . Personally ,I think it will be worth the wait myself but just as it should be it’s each to his own but I accept fully the points u have made cos I’m quite happy to get a different take on things as that’s what these boards are for . Anyway shouldn’t be too long now b4 we find out one way or another so fingers crossed & a great weekend to u & one and all
I’ll keep adding why others are selling . Some frustration with holders I hear some points however they are doing what they set out to do . I think some need to cut and move on . That’s my opinion of course.
"should" and "could" the ultimate words in modern society, which mean nothing and usually used by politicians
When asked in the interview about the scale up of the operation (so-called phase 2, which no one seems clear about as still an objective for ATM, maybe phase 1.5..?), he states that this should be 'self financing from here' (at 6.15 mins).
Really? Last I saw from both ATM and H&P was this was forecast to need finance of > $400m, but hasn't been mentioned for some time.
ATM is still not profitable and doesn't produce +ve cash flow, so where does this kind of statement come from and what backs it up? Unless something dramatic has happened with the company's cashflows that has t to be reported.
Is this for real or just another off the cuff statement made on a call that don't stand up to any scrutiny. He's been gulity of this in the past. What backs it up?
Yep, keeping the faith.....significant progress, discussions at advanced stage
"We are pleased to report significant progress on the Strategic Process. Discussions with international organisations from within the lithium value chain are advanced. We are encouraged by the level and quality of interest from interested parties."
