No those were buys Daisydog, do try and keep up

Just had another 100,000 shares at a not live price of 26.25p

This will rise as the returns come in later from the more rural areas.

forgot the link to Iron ore prices

up again. Nick can you remind us how much we have at Mokopane.

just before 2:30pm today

9.75million pounds of V2O5 sounds like a lot doesn't it ?

Actually it is only 4,430 tonnes of contained Vanadium or around 1/20th of global Vanadium demand. I don't think so.

From a policy standpoint, Ramaphosa will have to navigate SA’s energy strategy. In particular, the stabilisation and unbundling of Eskom will be Ramaphosa’s most pressing challenge, particularly as he faces a backlash from ANC-allied unions.

Earlier this year, Ramaphosa said Eskom would be remodeled and split into three entities dealing with generation, transmission and distribution

“We’re relatively optimistic that the president will manage to save Eskom from total collapse. The situation is now, after all, impossible to ignore. And the government seems to have accepted the need for significant spending to address the problem,” Ashbourne says.

Determining who should shoulder the burden of Eskom’s unsustainable debt is key, Absa economist Peter Worthington notes.

Momentum Investments economist Sanisha Packirisamy says, “Ramaphosa should accelerate plans on unbundling Eskom and improve financial and operating efficiencies at the state-owned enterprise (SOE) to prevent electricity shortages from hindering shorter term growth prospects.”

dubaskullanga - yep the trouble with those technologies that you mentioned is that they burn, reeally reaaally badly. The last fire of a Sodium Sulphur battery at the 2MW Ibaraki Battery burnt for more than 2 weeks and consumed almost 12 tonnes of molten sodium. It also destroyed the building holding them.

Probably because it is rather a long way from where potential customers might wish to visit - unlike Vametco which is about 75 minutes from Johannesburg Airport.

Dai-san, with your name you must surely be aware that the Japanese like to do things like this in a patient and slow manner. Alfa-san out

Nick - you have put your finger right on on. Some people will have done their research and will have realised that they will not get another chance as good as this in their lifetime.

Put simply there is no choice but to get a grip on Greenhouse Gas emissions. VRFBs are going to be a major part of the energy transition that we shall have to undertake in the next 30 years. It is clear that BMN is now leading that charge.

Mikinaman - only generation no storage that I know of

Well we all know what he is talking about there

The bloomberg TV coverage yesterday was very good :-

For those who are only just discovering this company I suggest reading the following articles:-

https://thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/energy-storage-europe-2019-414 - to discover how significant Vanadium flow batteries (VRFBs) may end up becoming for utility-scale energy storage

https://thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/energy-storage-europe-2019-415 - to discover how big the market for utility-scale energy storage will be in the next 10, and 20 years.

After last weeks Climate Change Committee report recommended increasing the legal commitment of the 2008 climate change act from 80% reduction by 2050 to 100% reduction it is clear that Energy Storage will necessarily become one of the global mega-industries of the next 30 years.

You know that something has changed when the Telegraph comes out in favour of zero nett carbon emissions:-

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2019/05/02/three-cheers-climate-committee-no-cost-zero-emissions/

This is for Peel Hunt LLC - does anyone know why of the hundreds of price targets posted for them here:- http://www.lse.co.uk/broker-ratings/brokers/peel-hunt-llp.html the BMN one is the only one that has got the date wildly wrong ?

Olly4 - it has been one of the interesting things attending the regular Vanitec Energy Storage Committee meetings to see Sumitomo start to come out of their shell.

This one was announced more than 2 years ago:- https://www.energy-storage.news/news/sdge-and-sumitomo-unveil-largest-vanadium-redox-flow-battery-in-the-us - still Sumitomo like to take their time with announcements like these.

Remember the webinar tomorrow is at 1:30pm ( we are on BST now).
