Alfa... I have no idea how the application process works. Is it up to the applicant to request licence for list of items they want to extract or do the authorities put the list together.
Surely it's down to the applicant based on drilling results isn't it?
Could copper be found alongside vanadium and perhaps extracted by default...as vanadium is extracted some copper is dug up too...

'Bushveld venture wins mining right for Mokopane vanadium project
2019-10-22 08:48:00
The approval allows it to extract vanadium, but also titanium, phosphate, platinum group metals, gold, cobalt, copper, nickel and chrome throughout the project area,..'

COPPER???
Now why is Fortune speaking on a topic re Mining Copper for Batteries....???
Another income stream perhaps...?? Check out what our Mokopane Licence includes.
Now I could be barking up the wrong tree here but our guys are prone to pulling of the odd surprise and he's speaking alongside top chappie from Barrick Gold.
Offtake deal perhaps...one to keep our eyes on I think and if the trolls hit rest assured there may well be something in this.

'The mining right allows for the extraction of several other minerals from the project resource area, including titanium, phosphate, platinum group metals, gold, cobalt, copper, nickel and chrome.'

Barrick Gold is looking for opportunities to grow its copper business through either exploration or acquisitions, according to its chief executive Mark Bristow.
Copper is viewed as having the best fundamentals of any commodity, with demand tipped to rise over the medium term as the world shifts to cleaner energy just as supply is pressured by falling grades at ageing mines.
As a result, most of the world’s big mining companies are trying to find ways to increase their exposure to the metal.

'If the details of the proposed reverse takeover are announced before the AIM company is ready to publish an admission document, trading in the AIM company's shares is normally temporarily suspended under AIM Rule 40 until such time as an admission document is published or the proposed acquisition negotiations are terminated. Ultimately, admission of the AIM company's shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled under AIM Rule 41 although in practice cancellation of the AIM company's admission and the re-admission of the enlarged group will generally occur simultaneously (for more information see Suspension and cancellation of AIM company shares).'

Ophidian...Could it be they have up to 6 months to put together the deal to present to shareholders? The RED BB doesn't seem to indicate deal details yet sent out.
If there is a 6 month deadline on either delisting or deal then there should be some kind of news next week...

Sorry.. Lindon not London.. Auto spellchecker..

London...my understanding is, the stock exchange see it as a RTO if Avalon a non-listed company merge into a listed company (RedT) and Redt is secumbed into Avalon which the emerges as the dominant entity. Avalon gets the RedT isting and the new entity can trade under RED.
It would be nice to know one way or tuther next week...

Give them use of unused MOD land...cover land in solar panels and Enerox VRFBs to power the factories...simples!
Cummon Bojo... Finger out comes to mind...
Perhaps a few letters to your local MPs chaps...

21 seems to be a bit of a barrier right now...thoughts anyone?

Cummon BMN get us out of AIM... I think we are being soooo overlooked...sigh..

'There is always stuff going on the background with BMN..'
Too right Jogj99..
BMN are working on Vanchem upgrades and merging into the company.
New electrolyte plant requisition and construction to be completed within timescales set.
Two battery manufacturer deals to get sorted.
Own battery/solar installation to be completed.
Sales and marketing of existing and new products to oversee.

Trade shows, interviews and presentations ongoing.
New financial investment opportunities to evaluate.
And so on...
Shareholders are always the last to know what's going on...

Note the word 'compound'...
'Global steel rebar market is expected to grow at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during the forecast period 2017-2024. '

See Volume kick up in 2020...nice!!!

Now I might not be a brain surgeon or rocket scientist, but based on the above and knowing what we know about Vanadium sources of supply around the Globe...even I can see BMN and their soon to be partners are well placed to make a few bob out of the upcoming growth potential. For me, THE KEY is WELL PLACED...being ready...having the resources available...up and running...ready to go...
Many companies out there are still only at the ideas stage or work in progress...they are not nearly ready for what the Global markets are going to need.

I also believe Vrfb batteries will be a big part of the US mix..

Combo NEXtracker and local panel producer would make good story for JSE Listing too.

For those who might not yet get it...lol!!!
'What are some of the market signs and tipping points towards long-duration energy storage becoming more commonplace?

Alex Au, NEXTracker: There’s a really powerful trend coming from the market saying: we’re looking for a four-hour firm power plant. That’s kind of like that ‘baseload’ conversation.

PV is very straightforward: I’m going to produce electrons when the sun is shining and make money.

Then when you go and add a battery component to it, if you don’t care how often you cycle it or beat up the battery, you’re going to deliver additional power to the grid at times when it’s most valuable or when there’s frequency events, those types of things. To be able to use this application in an aggressive manner – now you can not only make money when the sun shines but also make money based on what the market requires.

That has really unlocked a lot of opportunities.

The flow battery is an actual product that can really just get beat up and handle those cycles. If I come to you and say, “hey, I just ran this test, I’ve had a really aggressive 0-100% to 50% to 0 to 25% to 0 and so on and I cannot show any degradation on the electrolyte and it’s been 20 years," I’d have just told you that I have a battery that has a better degradation profile than a solar panel.

Surely we can't be too far away from more news on the Avalon/RedT RTO/merger....!!!!

We need to break 21...IMHO..

numpty5...I'd get a second from Noel Fitzpatrick!!!
However, you're not silly old me, so I'm sure whatever decision you make will be the right one...

Co-operating partner seems to be the buzz word (see below). UET have carried out some training up of BMN/BE staff members around the Eskom project and I'm sure there are many suitable engineers/project managers etc once can hire on a consultancy basis as required. However, to be honest UET, Avalon/RedT and Enerox plus the solar company/companies BMN/BE will be working with will all have ready access to a wide range of skill sets needed. Project Managing etc is so much easier these days with the internet/smart phones...even in Africa using phone videos and Skype etc allows for far less on site time/travel etc etc...

'While the mini-grid will supply at most eight percent of the mine's energy consumption at any one time, the project will demonstrate the technical and commercial capability of hybrid mini-grids using solar PV and VRFB technology, which is unmatched in its ability to deliver long-duration storage and cycle multiple times per day. The project could be scaled up further to provide a larger amount of energy in future. It could also be replicated at other grid-connected sites. The design can also be used at off-grid sites to replace more expensive and less environmentally friendly thermal generation.

Similar to the structure of the projects covering the electrolyte production facility and the Eskom VRFB, Bushveld Energy will continue using its cooperation model in developing and delivering this project. Cooperating partners will include project development and investment, project finance and engineering, procurement, construction and integration.'

Personally, let's get the orders first...that's the tickiest bit right now....

Lithium...

https://www.utilitydive.com/news/california-iso-tests-flow-battery-tech-that-could-decrease-bulk-storage-cos/554682/

After 4 years on test....
How m any other V batteries are still in test mode?
As these tests pan out and energy companies realise they're pretty damn good, the word will get out and confidence in the technology will start to grow rapidly.
