It looks like fans in the UK can stream every race for free on BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport and ITV Hub and there's more options on Discovery and Eurosport too, so exposure shouldn't be an issue

Always good to see the 80085's coming out and the link in mitchoftheday's post at 11.52 says it all.

As I've said before (if it hasn't been removed by the trolls), even my own usually boundless patience has been tested here with BMN over recent months, so I can only imagine how everyone else feels. Like most LTH's, I just recognise that BMN is hugely under priced on its current activity alone (never mind it's future potential) and that's why I choose to suffer these crazy continued drops and top up when I can. I'll have some more before the months out and am counting the days for when we'll be rid of the trolls here for a bit - it's almost worth following them to see which other 'gems' are out there, that they're putting down!

Something has to give sooner or later and at this rate, it'll either be a rare piece of news from the sleepy comm's team at BMN or someone will just make a cheeky offer for them - either way, BMN will be obliged to release as an RNS finally!!

Have to agree with AlastairMcgrift, communication is pretty much non-existent here, aside from the legally required basics and the passing of a director. And quite frankly, the odd video seen by two men and a dog cant really be held up as communication and they add nothing that everyone doesnt already know from this board.I'm one of the longest long term holders here and have been extolling the virtues of BMN for many years, so am no troll or shorter. But even I'm annoyed about it and am sick of saying it's only a matter of time now and that value will prevail. I've had dozens of sensible messages deleted from boards here and theres games all over this service and in AIM generally. But one irrefutable fact that no one can deny is that the ongoing radio silence here has destroyed the SP and because of it, we're going backward despite everything being in our favour. Personally, I can't see how BMN is not at previous highs now before news, never mind after, so will continue to hold, but if AIM is ever investigated, people should point at BMN and ask them to look at what's happened here.There must be something to report somewhere within BMN, BE, Lemur Resources etc., yet but for the legally required minimums, we give out as much comms as Woolworths!You can deny it all you want, but it's TRUE.

One of the positives I take from this year is that AFC's performance has actually helped me to convince 4 friends to avoid investing in AIM and put their money elsewhere in 2021. AFC is a prime example of just how a share can be played by the market and whether performance is sentiment driven on future growth potential or making huge profits in a commodity or service that's rapidly going up in price, a share price can be manipulated up and down on a whim.

I just feel for PI's who are locked in here (and on other shares), who believe that this market is straight or that the price must reflect true value. I've said it before, but the market makers can drop this to a penny if they want and with a thousand cuts, they'll destroy any confidence and interest in buying. For them and their Institutional mates, it must be a feeding frenzy at times and all helped by the often 'paid for' trolls who spend far too long on these boards and just happen to rock up in numbers to stir the pot. You'll see them spread misinformation and doubt, waffle about anything to ensure good posts are swamped and collectively get good posts removed too.

Its truly sad, but the longer you play this game, you become more cynical and realise that this goes on all the time and its just wash, rinse, dry, repeat for the next herd of poor souls coming over the horizon! I think most will agree that AIM is in serious need of better regulation, but I can't see it coming any time soon sadly.

You see this so many times on AIM - no news and a double digit drop for no apparent reason.

One assumes its another manufactured quick drop by MM's to pull in stop losses and nick a load of shares in all the PI's panic, in order to sell a load to someone who wants hundreds of thousands - and the poor old PI's won't be able to buy anything in numbers when it goes back up just as swiftly. Suspect we'll see a load of late huge declarations tonight and tomorrow, as the MM's finally show whose bought the poor sellers shares. Its a disgrace, it really is.

All of us appreciate that there are certain developments that Bushveld might not want to announce (if only to avoid giving any market benefit to others), but there's almost a radio silence here over recent years, which has only helped to contribute to the drop in SP. And from comments here today, its clear that we have an awful lot of unknowns that need answering.

Other than reporting the bare essentials on finance and production figures to keep AIM happy, the only other updates we seem to get are about Directors selling shares to pay their tax bills or the sad demise of an independent non-executive director etc.

As others have said, if any shareholders doubt the direction of the board, then you really should consider writing to them. I certainly have and if enough of us do, then I'd like to think it would be easier for them to release a statement rather than answer hundreds of emails directly.

And more large delayed notifications coming through from Friday too - this is becoming a daily occurrence and one hopes another positive signal.

Strange old day today. There's been several large 1/2 million chunks gone through, as well as lots of tiny purchases at the full ask and then clumps of sales at a fixed price nearer the bid. Many of these buys and sells are done at the exact same time somehow, which all seems to have a small effect on the SP? I've seen this on a few of my shares of late, which I'm sure is some trick that somehow confuses the algorithms that keep track of SP's. Don't know what the rest of you think, but I'll certainly be watching out for this over the coming weeks.

Nonetheless, I remain a happy holder here and am just looking forward to more updates now on the various projects in hand, as it'll only take one of two of them to come good, to hugely re-rate from these levels.

Can understand your frustrations wiltshireman and the AIM market is especially in need of better regulation to help reduce the opportunities for abuse. All too often, it's rinse, dry, repeat on some shares, where the SP is dropped and dropped for no reason and rapidly increased - someone is coining it both on the up's and downs, with your average PI's usually the loser sadly.

Thankfully, POW remains 'off radar' for those games, so it's unlikely to attract any great attention just yet. And as you say, Paul Johnson's regular communications would only help to deflect the games of the market makers, trolls and shorters too. Anyway, I've topped up this afternoon with another 75,000 at 2.91p and am looking forward to developments here over the coming weeks.

Wonder if we’ll get any final warrant update tomorrow morning?

Irrespective, I have to agree that I can see this drifting upwards as soon as that’s out of the way and with so many prospects and Paul Johnson’s regular shareholder communications and web meetings, I can’t help but think this is destined for good things in 2021 and beyond. Very happy hold for me.

I know the board get a rough ride on here, but I can't help but think that the loss of our biggest customer at Cobre was as unpredictable as the impact of Covid in 2020.

Having met the board, I've lost none of my confidence in their vision and with a following wind, 2021 will hopefully be the year that 2020 wasn't. I especially liked John Peters ambition and energy for all things SML and coincidentally, his direct contact details come up on one of my messaging Apps last week - with luck, it's an early sign that he's readying himself for some shareholder congratulations this year!

I 've bought a few top up shares today (including more in BMN at 18.19p and a couple others). as I can't help but think these constant drops of late have to turn next week.

Some of the drops recently have been well overcooked and BMN as ever seems to be one of those play shares for some (like AFC Energy) that just proves what an unregulated casino AIM is. Its far too manipulated, even down to the huge number of tiny share purchases on here which are clearly designed to mess with the programs running the share prices.

I'm just pleased BMN haven't published their quarterly update today, as it would have been lost on days like this. All the planets are aligning here and we're already hugely undervalued and major news on one front or another can't be long now!

Good luck to all holders.

The last few days have been miserable for share prices and the SP drop here has been overcooked, as with quite a few other shares of late. I'm hoping sense and value will return soon enough here and that we'll continue the rise upwards.

Paul Johnson is top draw and keeps his shareholders in the loop. Topped up with another 75,000 today and have dived in on a load more BMN too and suspect both will bounce next week.

Patience is key here and most should know that AIM is a casino, where share prices rarely make any sense and can be raised and lowered at the drop of a hat. I’ll admit that share price enhancing RNS’s have been rarer than Sheffield United wins of late, but we all know what’s in the pipeline here. The planets are aligning at BMN on multiple fronts - those big RNS’s are a day closer with each day that passes and value will prevail for the patient.

This along with SML are my only remaining long term disappointments. I was in here early, transferred some to my ISA years ago and have top sliced a couple of times, but its done little. Every time it looks like its getting somewhere, it doesnt and it's just hugely testing as a holder and I almost sold out last week with a fill or kill.

MTR's got so many irons in the fire, but what will finally trigger an SP rise here?!

Where are we with Lemur Resources, as that's another huge positive that I thought was due in 2021?

It’s quite clear that Enwell are off most peoples radar for now, but there’s lots of positives here and every time anyone buys a couple grands worth, they quickly widen the spread. Anyone would think there’s no shares out there or that the market makers want to suppress interest/buying activity here. To me, these are all positive signs of a future upsurge in the SP and as ever, value will prevail.

Couldn’t agree more with your view at 12.14 haggismchaggis1.

MMs abuse the private investor and AIM is largely just a casino, where many PIs (particularly those new to the game) are under the delusion that share prices are logical in some way or reflective of a companies value. There should be more regulation, but its all too easy to abuse when MMs control the market like they do. The positive is that value does eventually prevail, but not before many PIs are tested and/or robbed of their shares.

Fast rising shares like AFC are always played and dropped to trigger stop losses and MMs will also resort to dropping and dropping the SP each day as they are now when there’s no news, just to rinse any confidence out of the PIs. They’ll also widen the spread at will, just to deter buyers if too many are bought, so they can accumulate for the next push upwards. It makes you more cynical and mercenary over time and the best advice is never to get too emotionally attached to any AIM share!

I’ve been here for many years and have top sliced a few times and bought back in and am well In profit, but it’s been a frustrating ride getting to commercialisation. Even I started to wonder if fusion might be introduced before AFC actually commercialised, but I always saw this as a pound plus share when it got there. All too often, it was frustrating seeing the constant cash calls and delays, but as a very long term holder here, it finally looks like AFC is primed and ready to prosper.

It's about time we saw some movement on the SP and despite the 11% increase so far today, I can't help but feel this remains hugely undervalued. Personally, I feel this should be a minimum of 40p, but planets are aligning on a few fronts and some news would provide a helpful nudge and increase volumes.

They look to be doing their best to hold this back of late. Every time there's any interest, the spread is widened and after 23/20 earlier today, we're now at 22.8/20.2.

Still feel this is hugely undervalued and cant help but think the SP will finally be let go on next news.
