Blencowe Resources: Aspiring to become one of the largest graphite producers in the world. Watch the video here.
A bit out of date but illustrates perfectly what were faced with here. Covid is not going away anytime soon. It will probably be with us forever and testing, even if it wanes, will always be needed.
"In a speech to the NHS Confederation last Thursday, England’s Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said the current wave of Covid infections due to the delta variant would likely be followed by another surge in the winter.
Covid-19 “has not thrown its last surprise at us and there will be several more [variants] over the next period,” he said, according to Sky News. He added that it would likely take five years before there are vaccines that could “hold the line” to a very large degree against a range of coronavirus variants.
And until then, he said that new vaccination programs and booster shots would be needed."
Meanwhile, as covid testing slowly declines, theres the rest of the global diagnostics industry (growing at 6.1% annually) to target.

Graham Mullis and his team have a strategy in place to take advantage of this and all the noise and BS from traders, shorters, MMs and assorted weirdos wont have any effect on me.
Patiently waiting for that midcap status. 2b to 3b mcap. Just a matter of how long it takes.
Hopefully our sales teams are putting in some serious efforts here..

If not it still shows where testing is going and not going away for a long time yet.
Its strange Wilson..their appointment was announced and weve heard nothing since but they dont appear to be shown as broker in either the English or French RNS and also on the website.
Ive emailed The advisors FTI Consulting to try and clarify. Ill let you know when I get a reply
Thanks L&L
The question..
"To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the Government plans announce its choice of British lateral flow test after the signing of contracts in March 2021 with Omega Diagnostics and Global Access Diagnostics in order to meet the target of having the majority of UK lateral flow tests produced in the UK."
Ah, so is that why Innova have decided to set up in Wales with their sub standard chinese tests. Produced in the UK (repacked maybe) and theyll still get the majority of government business, even though their test is so useless it was binned by US FDA.
I also noticed theyre absence a few weeks back but thought maybe its because I was reading the English version of RNS and maybe theyre still there on the French version.
Unlikely I know but can anyone access their version to check?
Good morning Kaeren.
Thanks for the link. Just had a catch up on the board and can confirm it hasnt been posted and can I say what a breath of fresh air you are as well as the many others who stick to mainly on topic posts. Its been so tedious reading all the pathetic off topic, squabbling from those unable to put their egos away for five minutes or constantly bickering with people who are green boxed for me.
Give me strength!
"British innovation and ingenuity allowed us to rapidly produce tests capable of quickly spotting COVID-19 outbreaks."
And then they sh*t all over those companies and refused to pay them, while ordering billions worth of chinese sub standard tests.
Im sure no-one here is swallowing that cr*p but unfortunately the average Joe Bloggs will.
Dont always have time to read all the posts here, its a busy board but came across this..might have already been posted but worth a read anyway for anyone not completely up on the Innova saga.
Gripping and shocking reading. Anybody know the answer as to why the UK government still insist on them being the major/sole supplier?
Article by Sonia Elijah of The Conservative woman..
This is part two cant wait for part three.
Small excerpt...
"Innova’s brief history raises other equally worrying questions. First, how did Huang of Pasaca Capital know in ‘early 2020’ that the world was going to need hundreds of millions of rapid Covid-19 testing devices when in early March there were only 35 reported cases in the UK and 89 cases in the US? When mass testing for a virus had never been conducted before?
How was his Chinese ‘manufacturing partner’ Xiamen Biotime able so quickly to provide a solution to the problem? Did they have some information that gave them a significant head start in forming a company with an ‘unparalleled capacity to supply’?"

Thats a good find. A company the size of Roche would be a great partner..maybe too good to be true but you never know. Well find out who it is soon enough and just the fact that a company of their size is still investing in the covid market is very encouraging for us.
Hope its ok to post this excerpt from your link here..
"Complementary to the SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Self Test Nasal, Roche is offering NAVIFY® Pass. This digital solution allows individuals and healthcare professionals to remotely store, display, and share their COVID-19 test results and vaccine status through a personalised QR code. Having easy digital access to test results and vaccination status could potentially be used by both individuals and companies to facilitate access to locations with COVID-19 entry protocols, such as restaurants or entertainment venues, as well as to validate safety to travel."
“As the world prepares to reopen, high-quality, home-based testing will play an important role in the battle against the pandemic,” said Thomas Schinecker, CEO, Roche Diagnostics. “Regular self-testing at home can reduce pressure on healthcare systems. It can quickly identify people with the highest potential to be infectious so they can take immediate action to seek medical advice, manage their infection and protect others.”
Not sure if this link has been posted.
Worthy of a read about government interference in supposedly independent bodies such as PHE.

That really is damning for Innova and the UK government and its regulators.
Reading it, Its a litany of failures to comply with regulations in the US. How the hell did this get through our regulators without either complete incompetence or some sort of influence from high up in the government.
Scandalous..absolutely scandalous!
They must be tripping over themselves in panic to come up with excuses. Lets see if the media back them up this time.
So many loved ones lives have been lost due to these innacurate tests that so many experts were warning us about but the government ignored the science as usual.
Shame really..looks like a great opportunity to invest at this price but can understand some have lost patience. I hope theyre really pushing hard to get this over the line soon so AGA can start expanding the business.
Havent heard from big mj recently..would be good to hear his views.
China didnt fully comply with requests for information, as if they have something to hide. The WHO report was a sham, which is just one reason they are accused of being complicit.
Not sure what the big mystery is but 65% family owned does have some negative connotations for me. Even the most independent and accountable brokers get enough bad press for 'possible' dodgy dealings, how much more so a family owned business.
All I know is that something doesnt smell right with Oddos comments. They seem to stress the negatives when there are so many positives they dont mention and €4.1 is massively undervaluing us.
Im with porkies opinion that they are not suitable as a broker for us.
As a paid broker I would expect some kind of support. I dont see it.
All in my own opinion.
