Changes over the year
Ni price up >60% and in clear uptrend driven by clear market demand increases which is widely forecast to continue for minimum of a decade.
LME Ni stockpiles down >26% and in clear down trend
SP down/shares on sale by >60% driven by low volume, poor comms, profit taking, uncertainty (now reducing) but good news.
Zero dilution
SA mining regulatory environment-significantly improved and nearing certainty.
Ni grades recorded on the project area from 0.2s to newly discovered 0.3s to 0.5s
High grade 1.6% Ni discovery (indicative of semi massive/massive sulphide presence-can they find the feeder at depth-IP survey is planned)
PGE discovery on the project with grades up to 6.37g/t and broadly >2g/t over significant intervals and at shallow depths
Assay basket value results above those of Anglos cash cow mogalakwena.
Above discoveries accomplished with minimal cost and significantly very few holes (either they got very very lucky or deposits are likely widespread)
Metallurgical test Ni recoveries increased to 80% via acid leach.
Multiple potentially project transforming news events outstanding, renewed/new prospecting/mining license/s, 1.6% Ni intercept increase, magnetite met test results, mineral resource estimate update, indicated to measured resource upgrade etc etc
On top of all this there is the impending possible CCC related announcement, MRS stake rerating (with improving fundamentals/likely debt renegotiation recent loss of competition(Austin closure)) and omnipresent possibility of Zeb/Uru sale news.
I remain far from bored with URU, consider present prices an absolute bargain and will continue to add on weakness here when funds allow.
