seems a very sensible idea but I'm actually quite pleased to see that neither Fortune or Mikhail are on that committee - let's get the Eskom tenders underway and the process of building a Vanadium-to-VRFB's value chain in South Africa before accepting nominations to be part of the talking shops.

Floyd - Gambit may remember Julian Dawson of Ultra-Power systems who spoke at the Heathrow Vanitec meeting we went to in 2017 ( https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/vanitec-3rd-energy-storage-meeting-part-3-173 ) - it was his colleague Brad Appleyard who is now behind the Ultra Energy VRFB's - so it looks like they have been working on VRFB's for a long time.

Since then it appears that Julian has since gone his own way, starting Advanced Energy Storage Ltd in 2018 - ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-dawson-948632146 ) - he too is clearly strongly connected with VRFB technology applications.

yes there is absolutely no way that Fortune would let them get away with getting any of their Enerox stake back. This is just one of those cover your arses clauses that the lawyers put in to justify their fees.

Ta dave, thanks for the nut roast recipe !

Also she did not confuse Gigabytes with anything - that was someone else called Cem Özdemir

I think you mean that she might have said "Batterien brauchen Kobalt" - I suspect that she knows a lot more about batteries than those who are putting out the scare stories about her.

She is making a very important point though - which is many of the Lithium-ion battery chemistries need Cobalt which has a very bad reputation for being dug out of the ground by children in the Congo. If so then she is simply pointing out yet more problems with Lithium-ion batteries, which of course are not shared by Vanadium redox flow batteries.

they are called day traders for a reason

hmmm let us never talk about that video ever again - an old washing machine drum, a vacuum system and a glove box do not make a 100 Million pound company unless you can lever 'graphene' into the name.

What hypromag need to do is to 1) get a proper industrial contract so that they can 2) stop playing around at the university level - seriously I have experience in playing the whole university/industry government grant money charade and it really does little if anything to accelerate the roll out of technology from the academic sector to the industrial one.

yes - why do you think so many of us have been loading 20 grands worth into our ISA's each year. Last ISA day I counted around 40 Bed&ISA transactions, and a similar number of the following week.

yes I've met the lead author - he is a very enthusiastic supporter of VRFBs and has written some of the most important papers on the subject. The last author on the paper, Professor Skyllas Kazacos, is also rather enthusiastic, having invented the all Vanadium flow battery in the 1980's and being its greatest supporter in the last 30+ years.

Welcome, Pineapple, I think that we shall be seeing a lot of you in the VRFB space.

Simply put, the potential for battery metals, such as vanadium, which Bushveld Minerals produces, lies in their ability to solve seemingly simple challenges for global economies, such as ensuring that electricity is made available sustainably and on demand, whether generated by solar or wind or fossil fuels.

To be clear, the opportunity is distinct from the past. Where historically the industry in South Africa has been content with mining and shipping ore to other markets for processing, it is time to develop vertically integrated opportunities that maximise South Africa’s share of the value chain.

Hippydays - the MM's played ball with the flash shorters today to drop the price precisely because they themselves have built up a short position of a couple of million over the last couple of days. This allowed for a little consolidation so that the MM's could breathe a little more easily and not risk their short position growing further - thus it was a valuable period of consolidation that will actually help the price up tomorrow.

Remember the Market Makers need someone to screw profit out of, and on this occasion it was a combination of the flash shorters who didn't get to buy back in so quickly plus profits lost by anyone who chose to, or was forced to sell low by holding on leveraged platforms.

skyfarmer - it is a bit more complicated than that - have a look at this :- https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-trade-analysis-6

uksteveg you are wrong I am afraid. It is an investor's share, for people who buy the shares on the obvious fundamental strengths that the company has. Traders can have their choice of a thousand other shares that are less well understood than this one, where I am happy for them to try and misinform and mislead those that have not done their homework. But not here mate.

Fosters - no it looks to me like an organised flash short. I shall be investigating in due course

what makes you think Duferco have sold their shares ?

ALL in tier 4 from boxing day.

Will that affect Vanadium prices in China ? No, I don't think so either.

would love to see that work of fiction bassguy - it would no doubt impress one C. Dickens
