And a very useful Harena Resources article from last year, about the company's offtake agreement:-

"Harena secures US offtaker for rare earth products from incoming Madagascar project

16th May 2024

By: Marleny Arnoldi

Deputy Editor Online

Australian natural resources company Harena Resources has signed a nonbinding indicative offtake term sheet with US-based United Rare Earths for the sale and purchase of mixed rare earth carbonate product.

Harena is advancing its 75%-owned Ampasindava rare earths ionic clay project in Madagascar, which is considered one of the most significant ionic clay rare earth sites in the world outside of China.

It aims to supply critical rare earth magnet metals, including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium into Western supply chains for the production of permanent magnets.

United is developing a rare earths hub in Tennessee, including a magnet recycling centre, a refinery and a technology centre of excellence.

The term sheet provides the key terms the parties will use in executing a binding offtake agreement, which will be valid for an initial five years with the option of extending.

The offtake will involve 50% of the product produced from Ampasindava.

The term sheet includes the concepts of take-or-pay provisions and pricing mechanisms linked to market observable indices for commodity prices where they are available.

Shipping, weighing, assay and commercial provisions are expected to be negotiated in good faith based on market standard and customary terms and conditions to be agreed prior to any binding offtake agreement being executed.

Harena MD Joe Belladonna says the term sheet with United provides a pathway for the company towards having an offtake customer in place, well in advance of the expected production of mixed rare earth carbonate from the project.

“It is a major step forward for Harena to have engaged with a company that is currently developing a rare earth downstream industry in the US, which will include rare earth separation and refining infrastructure, and magnet recycling,” Belladonna explains.

He adds that the agreement validates the quality of the Ampasindava resource and its potential to be a near-term producer of rare earth products.

In turn, United chairperson Jeff Willis comments that the term sheet gives the company confidence that it will be able to access a ready supply of rare earth oxides that are essential to United’s long-term downstream strategy in the US.

Both companies look forward to mutually beneficial collaboration going forward.

"Harena Resources all set to become London’s only listed ionic clay rare earths company

... In comparison to other types of rare earth deposits, ionic clay deposits are generally simpler to process into carbonate for sale. No need to use acid of any kind. Instead, salt water and ammonium sulphate, which is effectively garden fertilizer, are all that’s required.

That’s encouraging enough, but there’s more good news. In the case of Ampasindava, the plan is to mine only the top ten metres of the deposit, with the two metres of overburden stockpiled for use in rehabilitation. The mining will be free dig, with the material trucked to the saline leach pads. After leaching, the residual material is returned to where it was taken and the topsoil returned. Power consumption will be modest. No tailings dams are involved, and since the area has been disturbed before, environmental objections are likely to be kept to a minimum.

All this makes Harena stand out as a shining light amongst its peers.

It will be the only company listed in London with a pure ionic clay rare earths project. And the simplicity of the mining, the ease of rehabilitation, and lack of any acid use is also likely to be looked upon favourably by the Madagascan government.

True, the government wants to see economic modelling before the fiscal arrangements are finalized.

But in the meantime, the company has applied for its exploration license to be converted into a mining license, and is positioning itself to start generating the rest of the information that the government needs.

One major positive that’s already confirmed is the interest of off-takers. Last year the company announced that it had signed a non-binding termsheet with a US rare earths company for the sale and purchase of rare earths from Ampasindava.

And Joe Belladonna, the company’s managing director, is confident that the pace of work will be rapid and productive once the listing completes.

The £1.9 million that the company plans to raise will go towards completing the feasibility studies, which he reckons will take about six-to-nine months to complete. After that, and allowing that the license and permits have been granted, he reckons it will take about two years to get the mine running.

If Harena can stick to that timetable, it will be impressive, but not unprecedented. The team is highly experienced, and includes Allan Mulligan, who recently managed a similar ionic clay rare earths project in Uganda."

A very useful Harena Resources article published on Vox Markets five days ago, which helps show what a huge investment opportunity this floatation could-should be; especially with the RTO being priced at just 3p per share (compared to CRES's 4p IPO price in 2021), giving an enlarged market cap. of only c. £12.4M.

Note that FCA approval has of course already now been received, with admission expected two weeks this Friday.

The shares should move to a swift premium to the RTO price of 3p, and buying in at anything close to that level looks like a bargain.

The shares are tightly held, and as news flows and awareness spread, this could move up very rapidly and strongly.

It’s only a matter of time now before rare earths company Harena Resources makes its debut on the London market.

The plan is for privately-held Harena, which had its genesis in Australia and holds assets in Madagascar, to take over cash shell Citius Resources (CRES).

FCA approval is pending, but is expected in the current quarter.

When the deal completes, Harena will have access to a market that’s more familiar and comfortable with African projects.

London’s investors, for their part, will get access to Ampasindava, an ionic clay rare earths deposit that’s already known to contain 699 million tonnes of ore grading 868 parts per million total rare earth oxides.

That JORC 2012 compliant resource estimate followed on from around US$20 million of spend on the project, undertaken by former owners. Amongst other things, work thus far completed includes 4,500 test pits and 359 drill holes. It’s also been established that negligible thorium and uranium are present in the deposit, meaning that processing with low impact salts ought to be relatively straightforward and the product saleable into the market.

The plan, once Harena gets listed, is to complete feasibility studies for the development of Ampasindava. Much of the groundwork for these studies has already been done, however, and it’s already clear that the project has a great deal going for it.

For a start, it’s strategically located on the north-west coast of Madagascar, right next to a port. This has the double benefit that when it comes to project development it will be easy to ship things in, and that when it comes to production, it will be easy to ship the rare earths out. What’s more, the process that Harena envisages using at Ampasindava uses salt water as its primary leaching agent – and that brings us onto another advantage the project has, its style of mineralisation. ..."

LFT has £1.25M. of convertible loan debt in TAE (Trans-Africa Energy Limited), which LFT still appears to be confident of recovering: as it was just due to uncertainty over the TIMING of recoverability that this debt has prudently been written down to zero.

The first phase of the Takoradi-Tema Interconnection Project (TTIP) in Ghana was built in 2019, so the new Takoradi to Tema Pipeline expands existing infrastructure, as well as being onshore, which makes it less risky.

Combined with the fact that Ghana is also one of Africa's economic success stories, and most stable countries, and it's easy to see why there are multiple parties interested in funding this attractive project.

Ghana's debt restructuring probably delayed things, but with this now looking sorted, progress should accelerate.

And once funding into TAE is agreed and received, LFT will immediately receive a payment of £350K., with a further £0.9M. on top of this still due (current deadline end of next month).

It's worth noting that the price of any equity funding into TAE doesn't affect the value of LFT's investment, and that just one new strategic investor into TAE can be sufficient.

21st Nov 2024 7:00 am RNS Final Results to 30 June 2024

" ... The consideration for Lift agreeing to the two New Redemption Dates, is that the Loan Notes shall be increased by TAE in the amount of £500,000 without Lift subscribing for further cash. Therefore, the principal amount to be redeemed on the New Redemption Date shall be £1,250,000.

Whilst management continues to believe in the prospects of the TAE project and remains in continuous contact with its management, the delays to the receipt of the Funding has cast uncertainty over the timing of recoverability of the Company's investment. As such, management has adopted a prudent approach when valuing its investment in TAE and has therefore reduced the value of the investment to nil. TAE remains active in pursuing a variety of funding options to complete this phase of the first project, and the Company hopes to provide an update on the project in due course. ..."

"Efficiency in the workplace: why automatic doors are good for hospitals

... Improved security and safety

Hospitals need to be secure spaces, particularly in sensitive areas such as intensive care units, maternity wards, and restricted staff areas. Access control systems can be integrated with automatic doors to ensure that only authorised people can access specific areas. This helps to ensure that patients, staff, and sensitive medical materials and records are protected.

Automatic hospital doors will frequently incorporate additional safety mechanisms, such as motion sensors and obstruction detection systems. These help to prevent accidents by ensuring that doors are unable to close on individuals or objects, reducing the risk of injury.

Regulatory compliance

As public buildings, hospitals are required to comply with stringent building and accessibility regulations. The 2010 Equality Act requires public buildings, including hospitals, to provide accessible entry points for individuals with disabilities. Automatic doors help healthcare settings meet this legal requirement while ensuring greater inclusivity for all patients and staff.

Fire safety regulations will often require hospitals to have automatic fire doors that close immediately in case of an emergency. This is crucial for containing the spread of fire and smoke throughout the building, and safeguarding lives within the hospital.

Patient and visitor satisfaction

Hospital visits can be stressful for patients and their loved ones. The hospital environment should be as welcoming as possible for visitors, helping to ensure that any visit is as stress free as possible. Automatic doors can remove a potential stress point particularly if a patient or their loved one has mobility challenges.

Automatic hospital doors are a small detail but make a big difference to the overall experience someone has when visiting a hospital.

Reducing noise pollution

Hospitals can often be noisy environments, with conversation, medical equipment being transported or in use, and constant movement in, out, and around the building. Manual hospital doors may slam shut or require forceful opening, contributing to noise levels. Doors that repeatedly slam shut can quickly become a noise nuisance to staff working and patients being treated nearby. This can be particularly problematic for anyone recovering from serious ill health or surgery, or who may be in intensive care. For staff, the noise can be distracting, reducing efficiency and overall work satisfaction.

Automatic doors have an almost silent operation, helping to reduce overall noise levels in the building. This helps to create a more comfortable and calmer environment for patients and staff. ..."

And another great new Newmark article, this one from Safetell's website:-

"Efficiency in the workplace: why automatic doors are good for hospitals

26 February, 2025

Hospitals are fast-paced environments that see a heavy daily footfall. Time matters in hospitals, as too does accessibility. Thinking about how people access and move around the building is essential for hospital managers.

Automatic hospital doors will frequently play a key role in ensuring accessibility in hospitals. What makes automation such a good idea for hospital doors and how can they aid efficiency in the workplace?

Improving accessibility

Hospitals see a large footfall every day. Catering to a wide range of individuals, many visitors to hospitals have mobility issues that prove challenging. From wheelchair users to elderly patients using walking aids, ensuring accessibility is a key priority for hospital managers. Automatic doors reduce the barriers to entry and support freer movement within hospital buildings.

Healthcare professionals also need to be able to move quickly. Ambulance response teams will often need to transport a patient inside the hospital as fast as possible to access treatment. Automatic doors speed up this process, giving them extra seconds that can often prove vital.

Manual operating hospital doors can also slow down the workflow in non-emergency situations.

Better hygiene and infection control

Infection control is of the utmost importance in any healthcare setting. With thousands of people passing through hospital entrances daily, the risk of contamination is high. Doors are a common infection point with manual hospital doors requiring physical contact. This increases the risk of the spread of bacteria and viruses. Automatic hospital doors offer a touch-free solution to reduce the risk of infections being transmitted, such as MRSA or COVID-19.

Automatic doors, particularly those with elbow-activated controls or motion sensors, support strict hygiene protocols across the hospital, from patient rooms to operating theatres, and isolation wards.

Energy efficiency

Hospitals have to operate within strict budgetary constraints. Rising energy bills place an extra burden on those budgets, so hospital managers have to find ways to reduce energy consumption. Automatic hospital doors contribute to greater energy efficiency by minimising the amount of heat lost during the cooler months, while retaining cool air inside during summer.

Manually operated hospital doors may be left ajar, allowing for heat or cooler air to escape. Automatic doors close promptly after use. Many automatic doors incorporate smart sensors that can adjust the closing and opening speeds based on foot traffic. Over time, this can lead to substantial cost savings on a hospital’s energy bills. ..."
