Boycey93, you can see part of his posting history, but only if you search his name in the members area, but even then only 1 page of posts. A strange one indeed.
In the last 30 days he has posted once on Boil, 9 times on Kod, a share he is heavily invested in, and 91 times on Prem, a share he owns no shares at all in.
Says it all really, a very driven agenda, I think Prem was previously one of his loss making shares.
Be nice to see the continued steady progress in Prems share price this week.

Seems like there is no let up with the ever increasing price of Lithium.
Excellent news for Prem and it’s shareholders. We are definitely in the right place at the right time.
Once we get into production our market cap will increase substantially along with the probability of a large Zulu sale or potentially the whole of Prem.
I see that deramper daz has spent yet another day of his sad life, posting his never ending negativity to try and influence people to sell. He spends every day on this board, holds no shares and attacks other posters who are just being positive on there investment in Prem. He has no agenda of course !!!
Perhaps he should realise that his posting has no effect whatsoever, people will always ignore his ramblings and do there own research.
He will still be deramping Prem when we are sat at a 1 billion market cap with a share price to match, a sad person….
Anyway, it’s been a very good couple of weeks for Prem, things are moving at pace on the ground, we have many new shareholders on board, with lots of volume and increasing interest in Prem.
It seems we could also have a windfall if Circum is sold, as seems likely now, we shall see.
Plenty of news to come as we move through November, especially with the start of the construction of the large pilot mine towards the end of the month.
A very interesting and exciting time for all Prem holders.
GLA
Very good consolidation in progress at these levels with strong support.
As I have said all along, just nice and steady, maintaining the upwards pressure and we will be sitting pretty when to move into production.
GLA
Snowking, totally agree, Prem will be very highly profitable once we ramp up production.
Also we are way ahead of many other potential lithium producers.
We will have a market cap of many hundreds of millions next year, with a share price to match, once we are in production.
I believe Zulu or even Prem as a whole will be bought out next year anyway, at what price, who can guess, but guaranteed,?it will be a far higher price than we are at now.
Either way, it’s a win win situation for any Prem holders , who will do very well in the coming months.
This will be a very exciting time for all Prem holders.
Gla
Scotty, I see you are well underwater at Eua, are you actually invested in Prem.
You seem like a glass half empty type of person, but have faith, Prem will easily make back your losses.
Perhaps aim is not for you, but good luck anyway.
Acker, November was also mentioned as being the month that stockpiling of ore was due to start.
This will probably happen once the cut and fill is finished at the location of the pilot mine.
I suspect the machinery will then move on to the stockpiling site to begin getting materials ready for the mining and processing production plant.
Along with plenty of other news due, this is beginning to look very interesting.

Good morning all.
A nice steady day yesterday, the uptrend is well in motion as we move to our target of being a Lithium producer.
Barchart.com giving indicators for the share price of %100 for short, medium and long term, a rarity indeed, certainly for Prem.
New investors coming onboard with delivery and construction of our large pilot mine due end of November to further interest.
There is no doubt that Prem is in a very good place at the right time.
We will soon be producing millions of pounds worth of Lithium, making Prem a very cash rich entity.
A very interesting few weeks lies ahead.
GLA
Good Evening all.
A very good day today and one that was not unexpected by myself. I think we all know that the Prem share price has underperformed compared to its massive potential and expectations. As other people have said this is only the beginning.
The video of the site works was very good today and enhancing Prems image as a up and coming serious player in the Lithium market as we head quickly towards production.
Plant and mining equipment due on site from the end of November, which will only add more to the excitement as the plant construction begins.
I would say the coming weeks will move from being interesting, to intriguing , to fascinating and then ultimately exciting……..!
And if anyone needs any help wether to buy or not before fomo kicks in, check out barchart.com as below.
100% buy for short, medium and long term….not very often all those indicators are shown as 100% buy signals.

Alert, yes some clarification on the location of the rigs would be nice to know.
I think we may be right as concentrating on the Zulu area seems to be the sensible way to go at the present time.
It should have a positive effect on the Rus.
gla
Acker, the situation regarding the remaining rigs location is something I have been musing over as well.
It will be interesting to see if they are indeed still drilling Zulu or have moved on to the Epo area.
it would be very expensive to retain all of the rigs and the associated man power to drill the epo area, so I suspect they are still drilling Zulu for the completion of the RUS and DFS.
Concentrate on Zulu is my preference at the moment.
Once production is proved and the project resource. output and grade is confirmed, I believe Zulu will indeed be sold. That will leave Prem with a large cash pile to further explore the huge epo area and other projects and minerals we have and possibly a special dividend for Prem holders.
My only concern is that the whole of Prem will be taken out too cheaply, although that will still be multiples of the current share price.
I have now emailed Prem and asked about the location of the 2 rigs still drilling currently and also if we have returned the other rigs.
I will let you know of any reply I get.
Hopefully I will not get accused of releasing market sensitive information by our resident deramper lol
Good luck all
Lithium market update: What’s ahead for prices and key catalysts to watch
As the fourth quarter of the year continues to unfold, there are a few factors that could impact the lithium space.
One catalyst for the market to keep an eye on is how quickly spodumene producers, which are targeting a capacity ramp up by the end of the year, are able to achieve their ambitions, Jennings-Gray said.
“The lithium market facing further supply delays could drive upward pricing sentiment," she noted.
EV sales in China will also be a key factor in the last quarter of the year, as record-breaking figures so far in Q3 look to point towards a very strong Q4, which is typically the quarter with the best production and sales figures.
“Developments in South America in regards to nationalism of resources will also be key, with the region playing such a vital role in the lithium market. And of course, any clarifications or developments in the Inflation Reduction Act legislation in the US could further boost investment into projects in North America or Free Trade Agreement countries,” Jennings-Gray said.
In terms of how prices could perform going forward, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence expects little downside to pricing in Q4 2022 as demand is set to ramp up; without any extra supply coming to market, availability of material will be even tighter.
In China, it seems that hydroxide is already closing the gap that carbonate pricing has developed, Jennings-Gray said, as automakers of EVs with high-nickel batteries ramp up production and therefore drive up hydroxide demand.
“Additionally, with spodumene prices continuing to rise, this limits any hydroxide downside, and thus it seems the two chemicals are likely to perform near to parity in Q4 within the domestic market,” she added.
Outside of China, the extremely tight supply of hydroxide combined with its production cost from carbonate means it is very likely to stay at a premium above carbonate.
“Particularly in Japan and Korea, where demand from cathode manufacturers has remained stable but high through most of the year,” Jennings-Gray added.
hat’s good news for lithium, which has seen demand remain strong as a result. In the third quarter, within China, carbonate demand remained robust due to strong demand for lithium-iron-phosphate battery chemistry.
“However towards the end of Q3, hydroxide pricing began to also gain some momentum as automakers looked to increase production rates to improve sales figures ahead of the China EV subsidies being removed on January 1, 2023, even for high-nickel chemistries, which have generally seen less market share so far in 2022,” Jennings-Gray said.
Internationally, hydroxide remains at a premium to carbonate under tight supply, as per Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data.
The last quarter of the year is typically the strongest period for EV sales in China, and with the subsidies set to end on January 1, 2023, automakers are already picking up production rates to improve sales figures beforehand. “As such, demand from the battery manufacturers and cathode producers is expected to pick up significantly,” Jennings-Gray said. “On the flip side, it does seem traditional industries are shrinking slightly, but given how tight supply is, it’s looking like any additional relief this could provide on the demand side will have minimal impact, with any extra material snapped up by the battery sector.”
Looking over to supply, production from the brine projects in China's Qinghai province will begin to wane entering the winter months, as temperatures cool and evaporation rates slow down.
“At the same time, there is limited additional supply expected to come online or ramp up during the quarter, and with demand expected to continue to grow, it looks as if supply is set to tighten even further,” Jennings-Gray said.
Lithium Market Update: Q3 2022 in ReviewPriscila BarreraOct. 19, 2022 01:55PM PSTLITHIUM INVESTINGelectric vehicle chargingWhat happened to lithium in Q3 2022? Our lithium market update outlines key developments and explores what could happen moving forward.Click here to read the previous lithium market update.Following a 2021 that saw lithium rally to all-time highs, prices began to stabilize in the first half of 2022.Demand for the battery metal is expected to soar in the coming decades, with questions about supply increasing every day.How did lithium perform in the third quarter of 2022, and what’s ahead for the metal in the near term? Read on for an overview of the main news that impacted the lithium market in Q3, plus a look at what investors should watch out for the rest of the year.Lithium market update: Price performanceLithium kicked off the year on a positive note, with prices trading at all-time highs on the back of increased demand from the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Throughout the first half of the year, prices stabilized at historical highs and remained higher than expected due to renewed demand from China post-lockdowns.So far in 2022, prices have increased more than 123 percent, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data.In Q3, lithium prices in the Chinese domestic market saw strong upward momentum, Daisy Jennings-Gray of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence told the Investing News Network.“(This was) signaled towards the end of Q2, when COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in Shanghai at the start of June,” she said. “With demand picking up towards the end of the quarter, and ahead of Golden Week holiday, domestic prices sustained upward momentum throughout the quarter, hitting fresh highs in September.”Despite the macroeconomic headwinds, the Chinese domestic market appears so far to have been unaffected by the economic downturn, with the EV industry performing very well even though other sectors have experienced weakness.“Outside of China, there have been murmurs of weakening demand from traditional sectors, particularly in Europe and North America, although this had little downward bearing on pricing as supply remained very tight,” Jennings-Gray said.Lithium market update: Supply and demandThe EV industry is the main lithium demand driver, and the sector has been experiencing growth year after year. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), EV sales hit a record high in 2021, despite supply chain bottlenecks and the COVID-19 pandemic.Compared with 2020, sales nearly doubled to 6.6 million in 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, EV sales came to 2 million, a 75 percent increase compared to the first three months of 2021.Sales increased further in H1 2022, and the IEA estimates that EVs will account for around a 13 percent s
