Gordon Stein, CFO of CleanTech Lithium, explains why CTL acquired the 23 Laguna Verde licenses. Watch the video here.
CS no way that's happening with market cap just a tad higher than the net cash position.
If it carried on in a straight line to £2 (with nothing actually happening re the dispute behind the scenes) then sure they might be obliged to put something out, but not 50p to 70p!
This latest move started with a determined buyer late on Monday that's continued all week. Do they have an inside track as to what's happening re the dispute? Possibly but more likely they're simply happy with the risk:reward on offer here and are building a position ready for that news. And then you'll have traders liking the 'signals' and following them in.
Wouldn't it be great if AVCT caught these shorters out and paid this next Heights conversion in cash? Unlikely I know but would do sentiment and the SP the world of good and only eat up a fraction of the cash on hand.
When you look at Pacbio's balance sheet you start to realise what a rare position Novacyt is in in have such a strong net cash position and no debt. For example Pacbio was valued at $3b as recently as mid 2023 with net debt of $700m and significantly loss making, even at the ebitda level.
All it will take is very modest profitability whilst remaining debt free for Novacyt to be valued many, many times what it is now.
A few of us were saying this Wilson around the time of the YG acquisition as Pacbio had qualified LightBench however it just seemed unlikely that such a giant would getting into a bidding war with little Novacyt - after all Pacbio was valued at $3B at the time.
Funnily enough they themselves have seen their value crash nearly 90% since the start of 2024.
Of course it's real, they've been receiving it each year since producing with $1.35m received previously.
'Imminent' to me always meant that that was what was coming next, i.e funding coming from this rebate rather than a placing, so far so good on that front although the longer it takes I suspect the slower any on the ground progress is made.
If the next update shows they are still only at ~1000tpm/12000tpa they should probably stop putting out the nonsense spiel of targeting 400000tpa by the end of this decade.
'ARB missed its only chance of a lifeline when it failed to do a placing when the sp surged above 30p'

Ahem, I think you'll find that the sp 'surged above 30p' and peaked at 35p on the 2nd of Jan and by the 8th of Jan they had got a placing away at 20.5p - problem was they only managed to £7.8m which wasn't enough but is understandable given their outlook.
Over 18 months they have sold Helios for £54m, £11m worth of brand new Bitmain S19j Pro's, £13.5m combined from two placings and £4.9m for Quebec data centre and still they find themselves entering the halving with considerable net debt and minimal cash reserves.
The Shanta acquirers were very clever to get the ball rolling through 2023 and pouncing in December before the really big moves in gold were seen and looking back you can start to see that Eric took his foot off the gas from about the summer onwards, presumedly because he was incentivised to keep attention off Shanta.
If the same had been attempted at Serabi then i'm sure they'd have got a sale away at around 60p but now the gold bull run is well and truly happening by the time something similar is worked the Serabi share price will probably already be close to a pound and a premium on that would be needed - whatever happens SHs will gain by holding at these levels.
With enough time having passed since the placing rns, with news from the drilling campaign on the horizon and with the long term copper forecasts starting to show signs of playing out as copper trades around 104w highs I think this is as good a time as any to top up.
He can't really go into the details, didn't you hear? My guess is his highly sophisticated AI creation automatically gains access to company software and feeds back key information from executive level meetings - it's called AInsider
