Kopf, I understand that they started many moons earlier as well. We may have had all the necessary various ministry approvals or no objections, but we don't know whether PAM still had any outstanding queries, or fresh ones, that needed to be covered off. The hardest bit of toothpaste to squeeze out is right at the end. Don't forget the toothbrush.

Meanwhile, Portugal continues to develop towards everything hoped for. Market sentiment maybe on a bit of a current downer, indeed with two opposing views could need a bit of lithium to help manage its bi-polar self. This will pass through as expectations of the availability of mass supply of a suitable quality at ever decreasing prices start to evaporate. Strikes me that out of the European based potential operations MDB gets far more ticks in the boxes than Serbia, Austria or either side of the Czech/German border. And all the time, demand continues to rise.

With the recent drilling update, Can't be long before the numbers are crunched and a new resource estimate is given and upgraded hopefully. Last time was a couple of weeks. With some folk it would seem that positive news of larger resources etc is bad news for the market overall. It's not a tumour, an increase or upgrade in that is bad news.

Aside from resource upgrades, I am looking forward to further information on Savannahs transforming from a Three Men and a Dog company into an integral and key part of Europe's supply chain for lithium and how they are set to feed the product into the market as it develops. Oh to be a fly on the wall at times - don't swat me now, I'm having a ball as Senor Mercury might have said.

A nudge for end users to secure supplies that can be relied on upstream. Can we be counted on?

Stuttgart exchange was a bit of a magpie, unilaterally 'listing' SAV if I remember correctly, as the company took some time to cotton on that they were apparently being quoted there.

As far as Frankfurt is concerned, I understand that this is pretty much like a shop window. I don't believe there are any specific reporting criteria or hoops to be quoted there, or any particular applications needed. The requirement and entry point is that the company complies with AIM rules. If these criteria are met, then they can be quoted and listed on the Frankfurt exchange, effectively like a pop up shop or franchise in a department store.

I am still looking to establish whether this constitutes a 'dual listing' as far as the implications for IHT is concerned as it would not appear to be quite as formal as generally understood a la RT / Unilever or suchlike.

£\€\$ - might need a upgrade to the calculator. Look for my abacus on eBay.

Sorry, should have added 'if summertime is abolished in Europe'
FRankfurt currently opens in line with the LSE

Does this mean we shall be able to trade an hour early if minded?
Makes for interesting RNs at 7am.

Only rom bending over in tight white trousers and embarrassment.

SAV has been tweeting mad with another extolling the weather of northern Portugal. Almost surprised that they are not linking to hotels, flights and car hire with a small subsidy from local tourist agencies.

Of course, if held within a sipp wrapper, it will be IHT free in any event as it is under pension rules.

I agree regards the dual listing however that is not the only criteria for being eligible for BPR and IHT relief as it actually also needs to be a trading company ie actually mining and not an exploration and development company. I suspect that your beneficiaries and estate might have had a bit of an unexpected shock.

Going forward, it may be that the separate divisions split off in their own directions with separate listings which may mean that Oman and Moz are still AIM based and will hopefully qualify once they have got their licences, bulldozers on the ground and are trading. My advice would be to stay alive as long as poss as whatever you move to, you will still have to go through the two year qualifying rule.

Well then, have there been any trades in Frankfurt yet?

It takes some time to go through listing procedures. Just wondering whether further information has been waiting on admittance? Putting on a conspiracy hat, I can imagine an EU preference for a minimum of a dual listing if they are to help with anything at this point.

Nice under cover buy making full use of an Invisibilty Cloak.

Article about the prospect of shortages in copper and majors looking at explorers etc.

See that RT looking at battery metals rather than just copper. As we know, their timescale can be extremely long term and in a staring match, I am not sure whether I would put money on RT or the Omanis.

Alara remind me of Roy Castle (I think) giving the pole a little twirl to keep the plate spinning. Not saying that any of our three plates are wobbling madly and about to fall off, but it doesn't take much to just lift things.

I don't see the silence as being a precursor to unwanted news. We have known for a number of years now that Oman is subject to Omani rules and however frustrating, will only be released when they are ready. This reminds me of a certain Quinta in Northern Portugal where I had the pleasure of squashing grapes in an old fashioned lagar, where we are still waiting for our very own Shateau la Feet to be released from 8 years ago.

The only thing that Alara don't say is when they are expecting RA, though they sometimes have been known to obliquely highlight the impending short term future.

And not a drop to drink........or keep the salars working at current or increased production.

SAV tweet with Reuters article on impending Water Wars in the Andes. Not a soupçon of guilty pleasure. Puts another nudge in our ticks box.

Quiet board today. Then again, what hasn't been said already, be it fact or fiction. Would be good to move on.

Merc not BMWs.

At about 9 pm last night, I saw that SAV tweeted their most recent EV info background update. Reading through the potential jostle between Audi and BMW is one thing but I was more minded to the fact that someone was working on Sunday evening, with a BH Monday to come. Preparations for Tuesday maybe, or the rest of the week?

Just been listening to a case of a young girl who died of some sort of asthma related illness. Apparently she lived close to the South Circular and her death is being related to pollutants. Enquiries are being sought.

SAV have tweeted the article from a couple of days ago regards the arterial roads being 'cleaned up'. Am I just imagining the cranking up of the arguments to prepare the ground to change the public view and acceptance of legislative / enforcement changes to come. DRink driving / seat belts / emissions / smoking in public - sensible and regarded as acceptably right.Wonder if the upcoming budget will enhance the carrot rather than the £130 stick that seems to have been detailed so far.

Meanwhile, water shortages in South America? Shouldn't be a problem in the northern Iberian Peninsula' Costa Verde.

I don't believe he did, or would, hence the previous reference below. More shares might have needed to be sold to cover the tax on the unrealised gain. I feel more empathy than anything else as I would bet that they are reluctant sellers.
