Indeed Pat48 - can anyone guess how many times 'Bushveld' crops up in the Avalon/Redt merger document ?

No cheating by using wordsearch, you should read the entire document to learn more about out latest investment.

That is a great interview - and people should listen to really understand the role that Bushveld has played in all this.

Then you will start to understand the future.

Indeed sanchez, indeed, we are watching and taking notes.

can anyone actually get a buy price quoted ?

I understand that Scott McGregor is no longer with the company, yellowf1

james - that's how it works - pretend that the price has dropped to try and scare investors to sell or force a stop loss whilst at the same time preventing anyone else from buying.

At the moment the advertised Bid is 8.7p and the current actual price is .... I'm not going to say - but it is north of 9.05p.

don't talk about cycles round here.

Yes, BMN via the Vanadium Investment Platform consortium is a minor shareholder in Invinity. The holding is sufficient to permit us to have a director on the board.

We also now have a Joint Venture in place which will guarantee supply of Vanadium to Invinity's electrolyte production partner. In short we now have a downstream technology partner that we can both supply Vanadium to and procure VRFBs from.

Slinkyfink - I have been in touch with the author of that article to complain about the very poor coverage that they have given VRFBs and you can be confident that this situation will be very different in future.

1. Pumped Hydro - to call this 'promising' is like saying your grandmother has 'promise'. Nuff said.

2. Stacked blocks - an absolutely nonsense idea, never tried at any scale, very poor energy density and very low power, absolutely destroyed here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIhCuzxNvv0

3. Liquid air - this should really be liquid air and hot rocks because when you compress the air you generate large amounts of heat and if you do not store this in some hot rocks then you are simply back to the sub 35% Carnot efficiencies of heat engines. Even if you do store the heat you always end up with efficiency losses due to irreversibility in any kind of heat engine. Overall it probably ends up at less than 60% of the energy put in being recoverable at the end of the overall compress, liquify gas +heat rocks, store in thermally insulated vessels, boil the gas by bringing into contact with hot rocks, decompress through a turbine to give electricity. As a result it is not a device that you've going to want to be charging-discharging on a daily or bidaily basis, not if you've got higher efficiency alternatives like VRFBs (80% efficient).

4. Underground compressed air - well it doesn't have to be underground, more precisely it is 'storing compressed air wherever you have a naturally occurring freely available large space that can contain millions of cubic metres of air at a few bars pressure without risking breaking'. Because it does not involve a fluid phase change or such extreme changes in temperature the irreversibility losses of 3 are not so bad. But it does not get around the basic problem of 1. that this is not a readily locatable technology.

5. Flow batteries - the only argument for non Vanadium flow batteries is that it does not contain Vanadium, in all other aspects they are only as good as or less good than VRFBs. You will note that apart from the Australian Redflow the manufacturers of non-V flow batteries (ESS, Vizn) are based in the US, which is notoriously unaware that Vanadium is more abundant than common metals such as Zinc, Nickel, Chrome and Copper. This is how we can mine Vanadium in an open pit instead of having to send anyone into much more dangerous underground mines.

Mikemine - it might not be just a political disaster but also a health emergency if a large Lithium-ion baed energy storage installation caught fire. They do (23 sites have in the last couple of years in South Korea only)

This article shows the potential kill zone from such a battery fire in the UK:-

"The Statkraft deal and electrolyte financing with Bushveld, he adds, 'to me look very repeatable'."

indeed

Yachty - you might let the guys on the RedT board know about that.

it is not possible to buy any shares.

Snott - you've hit the nail right on the head there. It is only a matter of time before we get off this rigged market.

Indeed halespur and clearly someone has just chucked a whole load of shares on to try and arrest the rise, perhaps to stop a cash call on a leveraged short position.

Well, this is simply increasing their short position and will make the impact even greater at the end of the day.

Pretty much still NT - you can pick up 10 shares if you want at 9.4p though

I wonder why they even bother claiming that this is a fair market - they drop the price and then don't let anyone buy - it's just a fishing exercise for the Market Makers.

needs to reset the clock on the LSE - it's 4 minutes fast

down down = double down

obvious short attack prior to 10:15am release 1.7 Million shares into the hands of the Market Makers.

There is no evidence that that short position was closed yesterday. Organic selling from PIs after 11am was pretty minimal and was outweighed by an excess of 400K more buys in the rest of the day.

The shorters may try to get the price down again to allow them to buy at the 8.8p average they had to sell those shares at , but they may need to decide if they really want to down down as they are getting nowhere near that at present and the MMs are simply saying 'thanks very much for the shares guys'.
