RE: From 80 to 40 in under a month15 Sep 2025 18:41
Market sentiment is fickle and has prompted a sell off, with a likely mix of fear that we have entered the Orphan phase of the Lassonde curve, low liquidity, stop losses being triggered and a modest placing. All these have had an outsized negative impact. The fundamentals are that there are tens of billions of tonnes of ore, likely to sustain £250Bn of profit over decades of extraction - based to back of an envelope maths using the results so far, market price of TiO2 and average AISC. This will take time and investment, although not necessarily huge amounts of dilution as there is “optionality” here. If you missed the chance to sell at 80p but you don’t need the money to spend in the next 5 years, the Pifield asset should see you right IMO.
