Ni needed increasingly in L-ion batteries and will be used in Hydrogen cells if they become popular" The fuel that is used. The most common fuel is hydrogen. The anode catalyst, usually fine platinum powder, breaks down the fuel into electrons and ions. The cathode catalyst, often nickel, converts ions into waste chemicals, with water being the most common type of waste"

L-ion cells use a lot of copper,and then if hydrogen cells become popular https://hub.jhu.edu/2019/11/01/hydrogen-fuel-cell-copper-catalysts/

Well the EU is going to have to make up four the loss of the UK contribution some how !

https://t.co/rIyXZU2mxL?amp=1 As more supply agreements are signed, the supply of battery minerals will be severely restricted and all the worlds contenders playing "catch up" will have to pay the price .P.S. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Glencore playing hard ball with Tesla and so not agreeing to a fixed price of any sort.Maybe not even guaranteeing supply. Interesting times !

“There is a real possibility that a shortage of minerals could hold back the urgent need for a rapid upscaling of low-carbon technologies,” researchers at the University of Sussex warned this month. " from The Times

The cart is definitely before the horse-not only is Cu increasing in price because of a slight increase in demand from China,the EV market is really underway in earnest and added to that, charging times are reducing dramatically,which means charging stations will have to store significant power. Batteries, power storage and production of green tech is all going to need a hell of lot more minerals than the market is able to supply in the foreseeable future,at some point soon there is going to be a wake up call and the industry forecasts for battery minerals are going to be trashed.

https://www.mining.com/copper-price-rally-builds-on-record-chinese-demand/ If only there was a large area of Zambia with massive untapped surface (cheap) areas of Cu that could be bought to immediately supply the increasing demand !

As "Mr Poor" would dryly say "imminent" and ONCo I entirely agree with your take on it.

@Peggy-everyone involved would prefer the market to value ARCM higher,but the Lantier advice is sound and if you think you are clever and lucky enough,you could always try and try Poorman's .trading option.My personal observation is that you need to do a lot more research into many things.i.e. you said recently " we could do with a Sirius" .SXX are a poorly financed operation promising the world,and they are now one tenth of the Mcap that they were when talking up the company,so many PIs may have lost up to 90% of their investment. ARCM are a well financed,savvy operation albeit progressing slowly (but safely) .The recent CLNs will be fully aware of what offers are already on the table and will be very happy with their price and %.

That's better Poorman-back into Dry and Sarcastic,for a moment you drifted into Smug,and it really didn't suit you :-))

On the Zambian front, Bristow said he is talking to the government as the company plans to explore new business opportunities as well as consolidate the copper industry.

The implication is that instead of a Lumwana divestment, Barrick would consider joint ventures in the country

“We have talked to the government that we would help accommodate a rationalisation of the industry to achieve this.

“Zambia needs a complete re-arrangement,” he said. These comments run contrary to previous reports that Bristow wanted to divest from Lumwana. “There will be no fire sale,” he said.

In the meantime, work has commenced on the exploration strategy for the year ahead as well as options for processing the near surface higher grade material as previously outlined. Results for further assays are also awaited including those for additional targets and we look forward to releasing these in the near term."

I can't see a need here to sell any as I think events will probably do that for us,but in the unlikely event SRES gets a chance to mine gold or silver financed by it's Pozz and Pot profits, then it could be eye wateringly good.

Mining permit here will be huge,as that is when we become viable for a T/O.If that T/O doesn't happen then the permit followed quickly by some orders and a posssible take off investment will quickly lift the Mcap and then perhaps some drills on Nevada gold/silver prospects may start to unravel potential.Would be interesting to see what % of shares are in "sticky hands"
