You can buy this share for 13p………..pathetic!
The company makes a good profit has little debt and is a major stakeholder in IES which makes no profit and burns through its investors’ money (I am invested in both)
IES has an SP of ÂŁ1.20. To make any sense whatsoever the prices should be reversed.
The fact that BMN makes a fat profit also makes it a safe bet for traders and let’s face it that is what is going on here – I don’t buy the GS overhang stuff – Day traders and LTH getting greedy that is the main cause.
Why so much volatility and the ridiculous 13p SP compared to 120p?
A mixture of these traders but mostly perception, that’s what it is:
IES is an energy company but not only that it is at the forefront ……renewables
BMN is just a miner digging up stuff no one has heard of…ask around!
Invinity Energy vs Bushveld Minerals – as a potential investor which sounds like it deserves your hard earned?
BMN should drop the name. Perhaps Bushveld Energy?
In other words the company becomes an energy company at the forefront of battery technology that also happens to own a mine rather than the other way around.
Then we have two energy companies working at the high tech end one making huge profits the other huge losses.
I wonder how the SP of these companies would compare then
Why would GS offload 30m shares (or 15m even) knowingly keeping the SP low and so getting less?
Surely allow the price to rise then drip sell the shares at perhaps 3 times the price.
The difference between ÂŁ3m or ÂŁ9m?
If GS aggressively sell at 2-3m shares a day from next week it will kill the SP further - why on earth would they want to do that?
Yellowf1 .....really? do you do any research?
Are you aware that BMN are heavily invested in IES?
That is what all the BMN investors are doing here - most of them are joint investors.
Your lack of research leads me to suggest investing in stock might not be an good thing for you
SCoutS, yellowf1:
You two obviously put your money into Redt and lost - get over it.
This is the game you are in, why so bitter? this is what can happen when you invest in AIM start ups - its a gamble you know this.
Back off its boring.
They reduced the amount of shares in issue by a factor of 50 and this had the effect of increasing the value of each share by a factor of 50 so you are no better or worse off financially.
But you now hold a lot less shares - if you had 250k before you now have 5k.
This will have an effect on any dividends that may be paid in the future and the potential value of the SP going forward.
Also do not believe the price information above the current bid price is more like 40p not 50p - down around 20%
The three major positions being advertised for Bushveld Energy speaks volumes.
This is seriously exciting news.
I expect a pretty major announcement is imminent possibly to coincide with the positions being filled.
They will not be employing these people to just sit around for 6 months doing nothing this is the start of something very big.

BS - MTJK is correct at no point has this share gone from 10p to 1.5p.
The SP breached 10p in March 2018 for the first time not in 2013
HS you are worrying over something that was predicted 5 years ago and it hasn't affected the mine in that time.
BMO Capital Markets Equity Research - Alexander Robert PearceEdison Investment Research - Tom HayesfinnCap Ltd - Martin PottsMacquarie Research - Grant SporrePeel Hunt LLP Timothy HuffAnalysts above from 22/01/2020 all say that this share is 82.7% below fair value.James I think we all know the answer to your question!
"Fortune Mojapelo,Bushveld’s chief executive, added: "The energy storage market presents a sizeable commercial opportunity, potentially exceeding US$660bn by 2040 and significantly greater than the value of the vanadium supply opportunity on its own.
“The VRFB Investment Platform is an exciting new opportunity to directly access the massive upside in energy storage and support select OEMs.
“In addition, pursuing a wide array of partnerships with VRFB OEMs that cover supply, deployment and investment gives Bushveld many more options to unlock value through its integrated strategy.”

Do you really think he was just talking about SA and Eskom?
Lets not get fixated on a small part of a huge market.
I really cannot see Eskom being a major problem for BMN its just one iron in many fires for BE.
Maybe 6 months ago, but now?. No its not even a catalyst.
It would be nice but the really big orders will be coming from elsewhere - its those that will make this company big

Also. if it hasnt been posted already take a look at this:

(remove the spaces)
The fair value of ÂŁ1.33 from the financial assessment on November 20 is purely based on how BMN stands now as a miner and does not include forward projections including the following:.
Mokopane, the east London Electrolyte plant, the stake in Avalon/Redt, being part of the consortium acquiring Enorox from Cellcube, or anything else not connected to its mining operations.
Those have yet to priced in.
It's anybodies guess what a fair value will be when all of it is factored in and the listing on JSE goes ahead.
My guess is many multiples of the current SP but possibly many multiples of the current suggested fair value.

Joey you seem to have got this one pretty accurate at 4.1 and despite all the negative posts against you you stuck with your prediction but why 4.1? where did you get that figure from?
Geng you are predicting that at some point the gap has to be filled (3.5 - 3.9).....why? Why is it inevitable that it will fill?
