SotRR - nope you're bang on there.

Volume has picked up a little - now I get 1.48M still with an excess of Buys

JD1972 - up to 10:47 I have 18 Buys and 11 Sells with Buys outnumbering sells by 168,000

despite today's volume only having reached just over 800K after 3 hours of trading, one of the lowest volume days this year.

That is quite telling.

I'm afraid that it has not been possible for me to publish that article.

a bit of interest in the stock this morning. I wonder if the prospect of some news next week is starting to get people's attention.

AM figures on Vanadiumprice.com

4th June 35.5
5th June 35.6 (increase 0.28%)
6th June 35.7 (increase 0.28%)

I expect that today's price will turn out to be 35.8 - so another 0,28% increase

... or a 0.1 $ increase (the smallest increment they measure) on a price of around $36/KgV (which is what it is).

No coincidence, simple maths

Worzel - ATM is not shown on the NEX exchange

this morning

A lower Rand reduces our production costs and makes us more profit.

I have (it is here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxZrQ5yPsLI&t=188s ) whilst Lithium is mentioned 37 times Flow batteries are mentioned 8 times.

49:40 - 52:10 - Levi Thompson, University of Michigan on Flow Battery. Excellent 'cake ' analogy. George Crabtree - "Flow Batteries' will surely play a role in the grid - this is what they were invented for.

RK - it would be interesting to compare the number of eV's catching fire versus the number of ICE that semi-spontaneously combust. Obviously car accidents need to be removed from the analysis. The problem is an intrinsic one with Lithium-ion batteries - it is down the volumetric energy density (the actual mass of the battery only really enters when you try accelerating it) - but quite simply the amount of energy stored in such a small volume is always going to be problematic for batteries.

In comparison the fuel tanks of ICE's are quite different as left alone the fuel cannot react because there is no contact with oxidant. In a battery the chemicals that react to liberate energy are present at all times and are microns apart.

James - no the 5000 tonnes will relate to the amount of contained tin.

The concentrate percentage is currently unknown, it might be 58% or 62% or precisely 60.000% but you don't know until you have built your plant and got it all working what you get. The precise tin content may even vary as a function of time as different material gets dug up and processed, so one day you may be selling 59% concentrate a month later 61%

That is why the price of concentrates like this is based upon the amount of metal actually contained that you can get back when you smelt it. All the figures will be based upon contained Tin amounts. Bear in mind that even pure cassiterite (SnO2) is only 78.8% by mass Tin, the rest is oxygen atoms ( https://www.webqc.org/molecular-weight-of-SnO2.html ) - so 60% tin content works out at 77% pure cassiterite.

993344 - that of course does not factor in any possible credit from the production of Tantalite, which sells ($180 / Kg) at roughly 9 times the price of tin concentrate ($20/ Kg)

Tantalite is roughly 82% Tantalum metal by weight so the 2000 tonnes of Tantalum quoted in the January presentation ( http://afritinmining.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/January-2019-Investor-Presentation.pdf ) would equate to 2400 Tonnes of Tantalite, or approx. 2000 tonnes at Uis. This is approximately 1/50th of the amount of the tin quoted as contained there (96,000 Tonnes).

Thus for each tonnes of Tin produced at a production cost of $14,200 - yielding potentially $4,800 gross profit, there might also be 1/50th Tonne of Tantalum liberated, yielding a potential gross profit of $3,600 - so a significant potential source of revenue and a very useful hedge against Tin price fluctuations ( in principle you could keep producing profitably at Tin prices of less that $11,000 per tonne )

trolls and nubilious nonsense-mongers - you'll just allow us to buy more shares at cheap prices. God I love the sales !

I suspect only one of those is pertinent - we've often seen duplicated trades which are just inter-MM transfers

TNG are also apparently thinking of the same thing. I'm afraid that I don't think that they will be able to follow in BMN's footsteps and may discover the grass on AIM is not as green as it may have seemed from down under.

Daniela, I presume that you have read the Bushveld Perspective - if not then can I ask how you came across BMN.
