I am trying to get my head around the "double digit" unsolicited interest that companies have shown for our Lithium deposits, and that Barclays are currently assessing. I have not seen any detailed debate of the possibilites on this forum (apologies if missed).

Such interest has the potential to be transformational but in what form(s) do people believe investment will be targeted? Will companies simply seek to buy a chunk of ATM? Will they offer to buy all Li produced? Will they finance a rapid scaleup of the pilot processing plant? Or what else?

Page 19 of the May 2023 presentation shows a Li processing chart with named companies. Are these interested parties or simply fellow players in ATM space?

Shame the article did not mention the negative side effects of viagara et al. I presume that the need for a little assistance increases with age which would then correlate with the old ticker getting a little worn.

We really need to push the positive safety aspects of the gel. Joe-Public should not be expected to work it out on his own.

We have always known that the warrants were out there ...

Now that the gel is available OTC in the US, would it not make sense for FUM to look at making its share also available OTC in the US? This is a path just being explored by ATM (Andrada Mining, formerly Africa Tin Mining) that found itself sitting on masses of Lithium and is looking to realise value away from AIM.

We all know the "vagaries" of AIM - most on this board seem to have been surprised by yesterday's lack of appreciation of the great news. Could the board not think of other ways of realising value?

If I'm not mistaken, the first trade this morning shows a nice example of "backwardation" where the bid price is above the ask. Such a situation usually shows a stock shortage .... surprise surprise.

A nice rise this morning 😂

I am thinking more in the low 50s today. But I'm happy to be greedy!

Nice one (the Mining Weekly interview) and AV was in good form and presented well. Great to see him feeling overwhelmed with the sheer size of the reserves!

On reflection, that would depend on the volume, and I cannot find that figure anywhere. How often do we see trades of 4 or 5 shares that are merely testing the waters. Since it is an OTC, quite possibly someone put a few at 50c to see what would happen and got a bite.

Anyway, no euphoria in London today so I guess we will need to await this pm.

We'll know in 30 mins, Safaniya! I checked on NASDAQ and it's showing the same. Too good to be true or are we all a bit richer today?

Am I correct in thinking that the pool of shares remains the same when we start to sell on another exchange? That it is simply the availability / broader access that changes?

I'm as excited as the next shareholder about ATM (soon to be a real cash machine) but, oh dear, our poor Anthony was so nervous. Reading his intro and then stumbling in his explanations. Better he sticks with his pickaxe and lets a more polished and confident person do the interviews.

Just by coincidence (and shhh Eco is a rock fan) the clip that followed on my Youtube shows just what confidence is about:

Bullishbearish: it's called misinformation ...

An opportunity to clarify the Orion financing versus other avenues to raise funds?

I cannot agree with your negativity, Pekingduck. I find the content provided in the rns highly positive and so, apparently, does the market.

Time will tell who is correct.

... "first gas early in second quarter ...."

We are now almost halfway through. Holding my breath is getting painful!

Nice little RNS linking renewable with fossil energy. And it should keep the "Watermelons" quiet for a few weeks.

Keep fighting.

At around 3.30 mins he speaks about organic growth (more iodine extraction plants) and inorganic growth via bolt-ons and add-ons (difference?) to the chemical production lines. Thankfully no mention of river water extraction or hemp seeds; hopefully lessons learnt there! This was in response to a very sensible question: "what next, do you keep building plants until they become unprofitable?"

Worth listening to.

Did anyone notice the Lemur made an appearance at the end of the rns? Apparently we now own 3% more coal (that cannot be sold). Is there a logic to not closing down the Madagascar side and saving on local expenses?

On the bright side we may see the spread close while on the negative, it does give the sp further to slide ...
