RE: NN and Rosatom battery metals JV - Murmansk1 May 2022 10:14
While logical to consider NN as lead buyer given adjacent plant and plans to build a new facility in the heart of EUA deposits, don't rule out others that more recently might've entered the mix and who conduct dd / make offers in weeks.
Sviblov did his dd on Kupol/ Udinsk in 1.5 weeks. OK week 3, he entered exclusivity and week 4, done.
The RUB is now stronger against USD than pre-war, which is something I believe Putin is going to trumpet on VD along with defeat of Azov, destruction of Ukr military infrastructure etc.
Notable reversal in sp on Friday with a reduction in bb toxins. That hidden £88k cancelled sell trade used to hold the sp, which Tilly identified as a short closing was interesting. If this continues on Tuesday, assuming no RNS, market will work out what's going on.
