Chris Heminway, Exec-Chair at Time To ACT, explains why now is the right time for the Group to IPO. Watch the video here.
Haha must have been a shorter with wishful thinking. This one is a rocket ?? on the way to a bright future. The only death spiral around here is the flaming shorts of the ill-advised shorter. We have some flame ******ant materials protecting us from shortsters.
Satisfying to see this move up, isn’t it, ye faithful. For a Manchester science graduate extra satisfying, for a long term holder moreso, for someone who was lucky enough to be able to top up in the 20’s and 30’s it’s a big relief. Believe in the material, believe in the smart management of the company and look forward to the golden age of graphene. Here we go.
Loxley-1 hole and Loxley-1z sidetrack, appraisals of hydrocarbons from both with restoration to agriculture within three years, sounds like an entirely reasonable plan for exploration, especially when you consider that we, the developer agree to make local highway improvements too. This should get over the next hurdle and the hydrocarbon potential is considerable. We should be very careful with the environment during the works, of course.
The last few days in particular have been very good for LTH. It has been demonstrated that graphene nanoplatelets doped with metal oxide nanoparticles, as produced by VRS, can inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Very timely. Certainly a good idea to watch that space, because it looks like Covid wont go down without a fight. Speaking of fighting, VRS has also just been awarded a product development agreement for £1.95 million by the DSTL, a part of the Ministry of Defence. That will go a long way in the right direction too. The naysayers cannot deny the reasons for optimism.
Today’s movement Northwards has a lot more to do with the outcome of the US Election methinks ??
VRS at the forefront of the graphene industry, right from the start.
I get this Graphene-info newsletter every so often. The latest issue is packed with info about Graphene Batteries. https://www.graphene-info.com/?utm_source=email-blast&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=graphene-emailblast-07-2020 I hope some find it interesting and useful if you have not already seen it. SP is undervalued IMO. The other side of COVID and Brexit banter, this company will be flying (with a license). :)

SP already absorbed the bad news so what is bright for the future? Well, TYM has several silver-Gold prospects being further sampled and explored in Nevada and there is further activity on the walker road deposits in the news this morning. https://www.mining.com/silver-price-hits-highest-level-since-2016/?utm_source=Daily_Digest&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MNG-DIGESTS&utm_content=silver-price-hits-highest-level-since-2016
I can only guess that a lot of positive media coverage of the technology-based recovery in post-Covid China is behind the boost today.
Judging by previous months, there have been on average one or two encouraging RNS's. It is therefore not unreasonable to expect another one or two pieces of positive news before the end of this month, too. Re Covid: As China recovers, the US struggles, which is why Trump complains and threatens to cut off relations as a smokescreen against his own inadequacies. How will all this affect Versarien? I think not much. What matters much more is relations between UK and China.
The fluorspar is not a metal, even though the presenter man in one of Dicky's videos kept mistakenly referring to it as such. the electrolyte in the Lithium ion batteries would have to appreciate in value by a similar amount, you would have thought. here is some background reading for those so inclined. https://www.mining.com/demand-for-battery-metals-to-jump-500-by-2050/?utm_source=Daily_Digest&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MNG-DIGESTS&utm_content=[[post.post_title]
Just a little note for you too Dicky. Your balanced views are appreciated, but also your mention of one of the uses of fluorite I had not been aware of until a previous post of yours: as a source material for electrolyte in Lithium-ion batteries. Very interesting.
Dicky, I am mystified by your implied insistence that I am a pumper or a dumper. You posted part of what was public domain and I simply completed it word for word with what was actually written in the website, to complete it. Shareholders who had not remembered the available information completely would not object. One of them even thanked me. I hope you understand now that I was just doing that, not trying to unduly exaggerate anything. Not all serious investors know and understand everything about gold deposits and how the information is presented. Facilitating people, being helpful. nothing wrong with that. I am looking forward to results just as much as you and the next man.
There was more info of relevance in your quoted reference, Dicky:
Drill hole PYR 9 - intersected visible gold and assayed 1.52m grading 17.8 g/t Au from 94.5m down hole
PYR 9 ended in 1.52m grading 2.6 g/t Au at 115.8m depth
PYR 9 was the only drill hole to effectively test a cohesive 750m long open-ended gold-mercury-arsenic soil geochemical anomaly.
Claims contain a number of untested epithermal veins and stockwork target zones - 43 widespread surface samples assayed up to 7.27 g/t Au and averaged 1.3 g/t Au.
The only point I am making here is that there are more indications of gold mineralisation, even in the same historical borehole. The hole ended in ore. that means it did not completely outline what could have been present beyond the completed depth of the borehole. All this looks good to me, and it is no wonder they are following up the historical information with new drilling.
Mineralex - it looks like the attachment which your post refers to is missing. I am interested in whatever info you wanted to post. Also, to clear up the difference between facts and conjecture: Only one new borehole has been officially reported by RNS as having been drilled complete and core split and some sent for assay. Previously an RNS reported that Bids had been invited for a drilling contractor to mobilise. This company is extremely sparse with the amount and content of the information it publishes. There are reasonable assumptions that can be made though: A drilling contractor is unlikely to mobilise in the diamond drilling business for just one borehole, perhaps unlike the oil drilling business where exploration holes may cost millions of dollars each, core diamond drilling costs are relatively modest, in the thousands of dollars instead.
Sorry, it was for Friday’s trades, not today’s.
Can anyone please explain why cancelled orders show up on this morning’s list of trades. 1.0m, 1.4m shares bought or sold but both trades repeated and cancelled. Puzzling why LSE should show this on the list. Grateful for any explanation.
Dicky, you are right to point out the importance of following the rules when reserves are mentioned. Don't worry about my understanding of the finer points between a resource and a reserve. I spent many years logging core supervising sampling crews and calculating reserves. Not to mention grade control in pits and underground mines in Africa and Canada. I did mention the possibility that there may be more drilling going on than we have been informed about. Also drill-indicated reserves are right there in the various reserve hierarchies inferred, possible, probable and proven reserves. Every new borehole provides an update to the reserves of one category or another. Then there is the existing borehole information and the surface sampling data to take into account.
