USA strategy will be for DA to communicated soon.

... has increased significantly recently.
My take on this is that the Oil & Gas companies are making a desperate move to subjugate the use of anything linked to replace the ICE economy. If the cost of producing electricity increases so that the economics become less viable then public sentiment towards a greener future will be at best slowed down at worst ignored. Good example is one where a rail-cargo company in UK is to moth-ball its fleet of electric trains and use diesel instead - "due to the cost of electricity"
My notion is one where I believe there is outright global corruption created by those to maintain their very wealthy positions borne out of the 'norm'.
We are witnessing a struggle between the disruptors and the oily-gargs fuelled with help of naive politicians.
COP26 will be very revealing. WE know who will come out of this triumphant - that is one of the reasons why WE, the savvies, are invested here.
Only my opinion - for what it is worth - I do not know ;-)

Also stick to one jpeg for the proof of shareholding where you have multiple sources - I voted last time and tried to upload two jpegs and to my horror only one got uploaded and was told by Mandy that she needed to have the other image to verify for this next AGM - this can only mean that my vote did not get submitted at last AGM (!!!!!) - appalling IT admin - suggestions to improve were made.

The construction of the so-called Gigafactory East itself was also discussed at the meeting. A successful green transition can establish the Czech Republic as a leader in the Central European area and bring investments and established jobs with high added value. An example could be the location of the production and supply chain for electromobility.

"The Czech Republic is a suitable location for investments in the construction of gigafactory. In cooperation with CEZ, a unique value chain is being created that is unparalleled, because we would be able to handle lithium mining, lithium processing and its subsequent supply to gigafactory, "says Petr Ocko, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade for Digitization and Innovation. it needs a new impetus and another pillar of future development to remain competitive. GigaFactory and the downstream supply chain can secure thousands of new jobs and make a major contribution to the region's attractiveness. ”

In July this year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and CEZ signed a memorandum on the preparation of the gigafactory project. The document sets the basic conditions for the establishment of the factory and is a prerequisite for an agreement with other potential representatives of investors in this company, where, in addition to CEZ, there would also be, for example, representatives of the automotive industry and battery manufacturers. Three locations in the Czech Republic were selected for the location of the project: Prunérov, Sokolov / Staré Sedlo and Cheb. Up to 7,000 new jobs could be created with production expected to start in 2027.

Gigafactory and the entire electric car production chain in the context of decarbonisation, which is being addressed throughout Europe as part of the Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package. On Monday, not only on them as a possible way to support the Czech Republic (CR) in the key automotive industry and respond to the economic effects of the coal slump, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry, Trade and Transport Karel Havlícek discussed with Volkswagen Chairman Herbert Diess, Chairman of the Board ŠKODA AUTO by Thomas Schäfer and CEZ Group CEO Dan Beneš.

"We perceive a green Europe and are working on decarbonisation. One of the possible ways is the construction of gigafactory in the Czech Republic and the support of electromobility, "says Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry, Trade and Transport Karel Havlícek and adds:" more challenging than for Germany or other countries. We have long invested in reducing dependence on coal, strengthening nuclear energy, green energy and energy from renewable sources. The Czech Republic has declared that it will support net mobility of CZK 16.5 billion in 2021–2030. Including investments in the decarbonisation of public transport, the total amount is CZK 33 billion. "

"The automotive industry in the Czech Republic is a basic pillar of industry and the economy, accounting for about 10% of GDP and 20% of exports," says Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade for Construction and Industry Eduard Murický, adding: "We expect that up to 500,000 fully electric vehicles will drive us by 2030, by which time there should also be up to 35,000 charging points, especially fast ones. ”

An important contribution to the construction of the charging infrastructure is the signed "Memorandum of Cooperation in the Development of Electromobility in the Czech Republic" signed by the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Railway Administration, Roads and Motorways Directorate, Waterways Directorate, CEZ and ŠKODY AUTO. Among other things, it declares that the participants in the joint declaration see the potential to ensure the construction of an adequate number of recharging points by 2025, and thus make a significant contribution to meeting the strategic goal set by the National Action Plan for Clean Mobility for 2025.

"We also count on the support of clean mobility in the National Recovery Plan (NPO), which is allocated CZK 4.8 billion. Entrepreneurs will be able to apply first, 940 million crowns are allocated for the purchase of vehicles and 300 million crowns for charging stations, "says Silvana Jirotková, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade for Economic Policy and Entrepreneurship, adding:" Homeowners will be able to apply for subsidies to purchase a charging station , CZK 144 million is set aside for them. CZK 600 million has been prepared for municipalities and regions in the NPO. ”Funds from the Structural Funds and the Modernization Fund are also planned.

"By 2030, the cleantech company plans to obtain around 50 percent of the raw materials it uses from recycling spent batteries.

The EU Commission estimates that European lithium demand for e-car batteries alone will increase 18-fold by 2030 and as much as 60-fold by 2050. A sustainable and resilient raw material supply is thus becoming a strategically decisive factor for the automotive industry.

I know a lot of cons in there - not my fault !!
Anyway - perhaps an interesting listen to the following if you (not me) have a ticket to the show/conference and give us any notes - if anything relevant - probable about UK Battery GigaF's+:

{notable extracts:-}
"For Europe, in order to localize supply chains, Eur15 billion to Eur20 billion would be required for the cathode, anode and precursor stages," Bernhart said, adding that another Eur35 billion to Eur60 billion ($40 billion to $69 billion) would be required for the mining of raw materials such as lithium, nickel or graphite. "The biggest challenge to complete the localization of supply chains is the economics."

Although mining and refining these raw materials is the most expensive part of the chain, money alone is just not enough: some geographies are simply more abundant in resources than others.

"In many cases there are limited sites. In other cases there are sites, but concentrations might be low, or they might be byproducts, or contaminants make it uneconomical," said Sam Jaffe, managing director at UK-based Cairn Energy. "And [mining] permits are very difficult to obtain, especially in the US and Europe."

The time required to develop mining assets into battery-grade processed material is also a significant problem.

"You have from between three and typically seven years from when exploration starts until you are able to deliver lithium hydroxide," Bernhart said. And although battery megafactories have been receiving huge investments, the enthusiasm is not as high in the case of raw materials, which could lead to a shortage of key inputs such as battery-grade lithium and nickel-sulfate in the coming years.

(Environment):
"European automakers have an obligation to try and make their supply chain as accredited as possible; from an ESG perspective, one good way to achieve [this] is bringing it local," said Rho Motion's Panayi. "They are investing billions of dollars [in the EV revolution], they can't afford to have ESG issues, so it's a protection to their investment."

I am positive about my EMH investment so long as KC does not sell us out with a low offer price for an huge bonus for himself - as often happens right across AIM stocks - BCN being one of them (BCN bods say "thanks retailers but you can pizzle-off now with a fraction") - 49% ownership makes me a bit nervous - AIM could do with an honourable CEO for a change.
Let's hope that sp recovery to £1+ occurs before Christmas - cannot understand why so low currently. GLA

quango being set up - that should confuse the pube-lic !! (https://twitter.com/CMO_England/status/1443847707433578496)
Prof Chris Whitty tweeted:
"Public health in the UK has had many great achievements in preventing disease and saving lives, including the remarkable work of PHE.

Today a new chapter begins with the start of the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)."

Extract from https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-health-security-agency-launches-with-a-relentless-focus-on-keeping-the-nation-safe
"Jenny Harries, Chief Executive of UKHSA, said:

I am immensely proud to have been asked to take on the challenge of protecting the nation by leading the UKHSA, building on the experiences and lessons learned in public health protection over the last decade.

UKHSA combines world-leading scientists, clinicians and operational expertise, with cutting-edge technologies and data science to lead health protection locally, nationally and globally.

Health and Social Care Secretary, Sajid Javid, said:

The UK Health Security Agency will take on a critical role in protecting the public and ensuring we are prepared for health threats and future pandemics.

Led by Dr Jenny Harries, the team at UKHSA will help ensure we keep COVID-19 under control – including through world-leading analysis and genomic testing for variants, support in the development of new vaccines, and to build on the UK’s existing public health expertise to protect us from new threats.

As the UK prepares to sequence the millionth genome, UKHSA will also play a key role in maintaining the UK’s position as a world leader in whole genome sequencing (WGS). New variants can pose the most serious risk to global recovery from the pandemic. The New Variant Assessment Platform (NVAP) that sits within UKHSA will enable the UK’s unique sequencing and variant assessment capabilities to support other countries’ response to COVID-19, strengthening global health security and protecting people here and abroad."

So we expect consideration given to our products/expertise :-)))

The single post from SmilingDog says it all - my comments stand - we see you lot coming in to discredit the stock - any valuation is pure speculation (only) and a waste of everyone's time - except for those paid to post drivel - those investors who have more than 1 post are fed up to the teeth with found-less and non-expert predictions - if researched then we all see that it is oversold considering the state of the Li market - we don't need fools to feed us with 'bull****' posts - and there is a political twist to this as there is in so many stocks that are about to change the way society functions - it's called a 'disruption' - greed and human egos just keep on getting in the way of it to move forward - humanity needs it desperately - and - it will come. What the value of that is is any fools guess - including mine. No further responses from me are required - always use links to EMH information to substantiate your comments/predictions/analysis/rationale/etc.

Yes MonkeyFish (?!!) - RNS dated 29 July 2021 - states " David’s position on the board of Novacyt will be proposed for ratification by shareholders at the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting." As it states 2022 AGM so in theory he gets in because the BoD says so - regardless of this years' (2021) AGM/EGM- and as we know is to start 18th October 2021 - what is going on at BoD is unsettling.

I only voted 'No' to the renumeration resolutions - all others 'Yes'. In simple terms - perhaps if they take those resolutions off or reword them to suit our requirements for new criteria set as a more appropriate performance related award then maybe we shall return a better number of shareholder forms as a collective.

Beware of the paid ramper/de-ramper posts and those with different agendas (e.g. shorters) !!

AIM. is full of hot air when it comes to investors stating that there will be a £5 party - i'd be that millionaire for the number of time I have heard/read this - we are mature and only want this BB to be for facts and not fictional predictions - I have held shares in stocks that never got anywhere near the hyper-inflated predictions that we see - SO, please be kind enough to keep your 1+ year predictions to yourself because it means NOTHING AT ALL - quite frankly a source for newcomers to this stock of nothing more than a falsehood generated from unsubstantiated eagerness from those with over-inflated "oooo look at me - the investment wizard" egos.

Links fingers ?!!
