I thought the same rgbuk, could it be the cost of tin production that spooked the market?

On a purely practical level, does anyone know how the two / three processing and extraction systems interact? Is the same ore passed through (say) the tin extraction system first and then passed into the tantalum and then into the Lithium system orare different batches of ore used in each?

I thought they might have crowed a little more about the initial tantalum production, that is brilliant news but gets little more than a "mention in disbatches".

Porfessor: such as?

I was surprised by the comment:

"... production will commence once suitable off-takers ... are secured"

Have they not got any lined up already? Doesn't Sales 101 say something about know your market before investing?

Great, another satisfied customer.

... and uncertainty is the bane of stockmarkets.

No outright winner and the centre-right will need the far-right plus some regional parties to constitute a majority. Ways to go.

The market is not sharing the board's optimism. The 12% annual and 20% curtailment rates probably outweighs the access to additional funds.

I belueve that I am correct in the following:

The offer must have been of the type "I would pay a billion UKP for a mine like this one" in which case it was an off-hand statement so not reportable. Because if the Chinese said "we are prepared to pay you a billion UKP for Andrada" then this is reportable, and nothing has been reported to the market.

I chose the figure of a billion quid quite deliberately.

Great results and with adjusted eps at just shy of 12, the company trades on a pe of only 5.

Any Cesium out there ATM?

Steegee it certainly seems so. Look at the dates of the LSE and my original posts.

@Kdonkey was this the culprit? But look on the bright side!

GingerBear, I remember us discussing this topic about a year (??) ago because there was a line in an rns that seemed to suggest that tailings could not be used. We never got to a conclusion of the discussion. Was it a technical, economic or legal reason, no-one seemed to know. S9rry not to have a proper answer to a very valid question.

Boots to close 300 stores .... likely negative impact?

Of course you are right Nigel. My misinformation came from London SE itself in their Sunday email of the week ahead.

And there was me setting the alarm early!

What a stunning update this morning:

Final results today? Siesta time or maňana?

Deffo : and don't overlook the Tantalum. That is currently in for free.

And, since historically, ATM is a tin miner, there must exist thousands (millions?) of tons of waste from which the tantalum and perhaps lithium (given that it is soluble) have never been extracted. Sometime ago we did debate whether the spoil could be re-treated and no one had a firm idea of negatives.

I wonder what else may be found as they explore more and more of this large mining licence.

Exciting times and BMN must be cursing the discovery of Lithium as they try to flog off the idea of Vanadium storage batteries!!

Let's see what the news that I09 is now up and running willl do today!
