DaddyBigBucks - like any criminal investigation it has to be done without public updates.

SG - no we have mines for at least 30 years

SG - as you can see with a Vanadium Titanium Magnetite resource the grinding and subsequent magnetic separation can reduce the amount of material by 2/3rds. This 790,000 tonnes of concentrate might be 1.65-2% in V2O5 concentration so this would yield a maximum of around 15,800 Tonnes of V2O5, but the key step is of course the actual elimination of the remaining 98% of unwanted material, and this is where having a complete Vanadium processing plant is essential.

I am not for one minute suggesting that Tando would be shipping their concentrate to us. We don't need it. They are now going to have to ship it a lot further afield.

It is a pity that there is not some intermediate simple processing step that might concentrate the V2O5 still further, so that they don't have to ship millions of tonnes of unwanted material halfway across the world. Well it is a pity for them, but not for the shipping companies, or us.

Amxdd - in the 10 days you have been registered on the LSE board you have apparently invested £20,000 in SXX and then sold at a £5,000 pound loss only 5 days later.

You may be only 20 years old but you need to learn a little more about investing before you start splashing your money around. I would suggest not investing at all and getting a job.

Halespur - as Gary player was fond of saying 'the more I practise, the luckier I get'.

Whilst we do feel lucky, we should not consider ourselves lucky, because the research was all there back in 2015 (when I first bought in), and the BoD have delivered time and again.

Sure we could not have predicted the fact that Evraz would pull out of South Africa or that Zuma would be removed from power.

However the worldwide deficit in Vanadium WAS predicted prior to July 2017 and VRFB's have been around for 30 years waiting patiently for PV technology to catch up and become cost-competitive with fossil fuels.

The only real secret is that real research, backed by a serious community of dedicated investors, CAN work on AIM. You don't need to have a catchy brand-name or a revolutionary here-today-gone-tomorrow online advertising on toilet seats disruptive business model, you just need a unique high grade ore resource in a mineral that the world is going to need in massively increasing amounts in the next 10 years. Simples.

Amxdd - we have not actually acquired it yet. When we do you may expect them to change that target price.

Bella and Jogj99 - I don't believe that either Vametco or Vanchem are making electrolyte but instead a third party, already experienced in the process, who has been contracted to BMN and/or UET.

Indeed jogj99 - articulated clearly here:- https://thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/energy-storage-europe-2019-415

TrustedInvestor - I take it that you understand that Vanadium is not used in electric car batteries.

nobody has a vanadium flow battery for a car the supercharged guy is alas full of super hype. Maybe he should learn to read and talk more slowly.

Bella - I presume that you are aware that Bushveld Energy is targeting 200MWh VRFB Electrolyte in the short term and 1000 MWh in the longer term. These correspond to c. 1000 and 5000 Tonnes of Vanadium production respectively.

No doubt the conversion of Vanadium Oxide into Vanadium electrolyte carries a significant premium, as does the subsequent supply of VRFB batteries for energy storage, eg to organisations such as Eskom ( https://thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/bushveld-energy-eskom-battery-mandate-2018-339 )

MG1959, Yes, Not Advice.

nighthawk - I take it that Troajan and Wassat know that you are undermining their short sells.

nighthawk - that was not what you were saying on the 16th of April

zipper - the tying up of the last available Vanadium processing facility in South Africa hardly by someone else who already has their own significant magnetite deposits hardly bodes well for Ironveld.

Buys outnumber sells currently reported by 4 to 1

MEM - I presume that would be to catch out anyone shorting. Remind me who wins when there is a cash call ?

You are correct in that assumption E10201

Sanchez - the future is going to be very different to the past.

This is a phrase I keep hearing.

They say we are going to need Big Storage.

This explains how much:- https://thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/energy-storage-europe-2019-415

Unlike Germany, for example, the UK cannot rely on shipping energy abroad as interconnector capacity is limited. Like Ireland the UK is an Island and so will need to use more local energy storage than most on continental europe.
