I love the way they say Africa, not the country South Africa, the continent.. I love that they are passionate about building their continent not just building a company... This is why BMN will be huge, they have a real vision not just a slogan..

Goosebumps..

I agree CC, ATM is a real bottom drawer play. I really believe 3 years from now this will be a 50p+ share as the tin shortage continues to grow. I have just short of 2M shares now and intend to buy a few more in coming months.

Another piece of my retirement fund along with BMN, WRES, JAY and a few other small AIM punts. (I love what I do for a living but I am retiring in 2/3 years at 57 to enjoy the world by first class travel with my wife whilst we can)...

I have 50% of my portfolio in boring stocks and investment trusts that will fund my core income needs come what may and intend to keep them as my safety net, forever, (bird in the hand and all that) but the other 50% could easily be worth 10 times more than currently in next 2/3 years, which buys a lot of first class travel.

Unbelievable to think that I have 4 bagged my portfolio in 2 years all because I took a small punt on a dodgy South African small mining exploration company. A company with no earnings planning on mining something I had never heard of (Vanadium??) in February 2017!

Exciting times...

I do like Jay at the moment too and topping up whilst I can. They have a broker price (from our friend JM) of 45p with a current SP of 13p, down 50% since last year. They are due to start production in April. Been a long time coming though so not risk free.

Thanks CC, will have a look at CASP

RK, that was exactly my point. 'The Grid' as defined in western countries will never happen in parts of Africa and with VRFB it is not needed.

But... in the past the lack of grids, roads, telephone lines etc. has been what has held Africa back. Batteries storing solar power is a game changer.

BMN does not need to worry about any other part of the world as it could become one of Africa's energy giants. Which is why FM thinks BE earnings in the future could be 10 times that of BV. Which makes the mind boggle.

I would never put 100% of my money in one company regardless of how compelling the business case but as a long term hold and a potential future SP in double £ figures this is so exciting.

They did say the video of the most recent blast would be on the website soon in the RSN, hopefully released soon, along with production news...

Think I will stick with my main plays, JLP looks interesting but ATM and BMN are really solid plays. Also I still have a couple of other 'small' AIM plays which I am watching.

Thanks all the same and feel free to share on here Troajan I dont put you in the same pump and dump camp as most on LSE.

Nice to see the board has moved onto more constructive discussions...

I really got this point in early 2018 and then realised how huge VRFB will be..

Talk of the grid is missing the point, in many parts of Africa there is no grid! There is plenty of sunshine but no grid.

Not beyond the wit of man to build local small hospitals that can run off solar power (solar power tiles) whilst storing the excess (yes may need a diesel back up initially but that is just a technology play).

To talk of hotels and the grid is to miss the point. This is an African company, to many parts of Africa it is about coming into the 20th century never mind the 21st.

With renewable energy, mobile phones and drones all the fixed infrastructure that allowed the developed world to grow is no longer needed, meaning Africa can grow as a continent and BMN will be a huge part of that.

Thanks Moneyhawk

Vauch, no you do not get additional tax, it is not a personal contribution

Thanks for the heads up will have a good look around the website and related research.

Any quick links to good reading/research material appreciated

To clarify dividends do not count towards your annual SIPP or ISA allowance either...

Discussing dividends within an ISA and SIPP is a red herring, they are not taxable on receipt by the wrapper and once received they just become part of the balance.

There is no tax on any withdrawals from an ISA. Dividends are received by the ISA and simply added to your cash account. The only limit on ISAs is the initial annual investment amount, £20k per annum.

There is also no further tax due on dividends received by a SIPP but any withdrawals are potentially taxable apart from the 25% tax free element. I say potentially as it depends on other income.

Dividends are taxable on receipt personally or if into your normal trading account and need to be declared in your annual tax return (you have to declare them, not being sent a tax return is not an excuse). So, if received before April 2019 you need to add them to your tax return which needs submitting before January 31st 2020.

You then have a £2000 tax free allowance and any others that fall into your basic rate band, sub circa £48k, are taxed at 7.5% so still quite attractive.

Hope that helps...

Without news I think these shares could be had for 3p again soon. Another amazing multiple growth opportunity going very cheap at the moment.

Sorry Knuttie I was typing whist your note came on and did not mean to be disrespectful. Great news.

I agree BasilB I tried trading last March and made a similar mistake. I now have a core holding which I am currently adding too on the weakness. I might sell some of the newer shares to fund a few other punts but my core holding is sacrosanct until targets met..

In hindsight although I doubled by portfolio in 2018 with a lot of work and little luck it would have been a lot easier to be 100% in BMN a 4 bagged. Thing is, it is an AIM stock based in S.A. and not the risk free no brainer many make it out to be, so I will continue to be a little cautious with my spread of investments..

That said I have nothing against those who trade. They do tend to always discuss their wins not their losses though..

Agree Faramog. A couple of “smarty pant” posters have been filtered today. I think a few on here believe they are part of some elite clique, you are not, we are all equal and free to post. In the same way I am free to filter the odd “expert” or two..

Alfa - lol - well deflected....

Chartist I defended your right to post the other day but you really are going on a little bit now. Which, with the replies to your posts, is starting to hog this BB a little.

Only a suggestion but why not just post a few times a day but with your SP prediction and why you think this is the case and let those who are interested read them.

I do not think you are a "bubblebrain" and do not like the quick fingers and tempers of a few posters on here but I do think you need to lay off the keyboard a little - just my opinion of course.

We are all in the same boat BB. I do agree that there communications have been shocking. I just thought asking for news on day one was a little ambitious. As you say though, no time like the present..

If they started putting out some regular update and stuck to it then it will save a lot of the angst and repeated demands for updates.
