Hi,
A few bits from the Webcast, My line was not great but here is my understanding of what I heard....
BLUE CHIP INVESTORS
Important to establish a new platform level for valuation.
Obviously very excited about the NEW institutional investor. Very much sounded as though the "name" was too good to turn away. Leon said name will be disclosed in TR1. Colin referred to them being "small cap specialist".
Colin also referred to the other EXISTING institutional investor that has added to existing share holding as being a "recent" investor.
SOUTH AFRICA
PGM
Inyoni (our own plant) continues to increase the % of the total amount of PGM produced due to its efficiencies. Averaging 3,000 oz per month at Inyoni for Oct (I think that was stated) and Nov and Dec.
28k Oz PGM for 6 mths to 31/12/20 despite Windsor PGM being shut down (planned by JV partner) for MOST of December.
CHROME
Looking at 600k oz per annum, well ahead of target 450k oz.
The 6mths figures are distorted due to the higher than normal levels of stock held due to COVID border issues. This will be reflected in next 6 months figures.
TJATE
Discussions have been held. Interest in "acquiring, partnering, getting access" to Tjate. News will follow if discussions gain more traction.
ZAMBIA
COPPER
Another copper deal (4th) to be announced soon ???
Elephant construction starts late 2021, a 9 to 10 mth construction phase.
Lots of refining capacity in Zambia to take up our excess.
ZINC
40-45% construction complete. Recommence this quarter. Fully complete Q3. Will use historical tailings and fresh ore (approached by several Companies).
VANADIUM
Delayed due to price by can respond quickly to market conditions.
2021
Priority to consolidate existing projects. Unlikely to start new projects this year. However, Australia mentioned more than once as regards next possible location. Nickel mentioned.
COLIN
Plenty of life left in him yet, despite being 77. Will listen to the Board and JLP shareholders when the time is right to step aside.
So, all told a very positive update with lots to look forward to in 2021 and beyond. A small top up in my sons Junior ISA today.
