You have to hand it to our Cyril he knows how to make all the right noises and so far has delivered on most of them. This delegation could really put the fire under things if he/they get this even half right there will be a lot of global interest & spin offs. What a time to be invested in this company you couldn't have dreamt of all these pieces falling into place like they are, it's incredible.what we are witnessing. I know we tend to fret over short term price movement but in the scheme of things there's not too much to worry about, there's just so much going on, on multiple fronts.

Exactly

Looking at the recent events, presentations etc from SA leaders, there is a considerable amount of softening up going on before the main event. Bit like the general election release a few snippets, let them digest the information before you hit them with it. For me, this is the mining charter, ie This is what we are going to do it's not open to any further negotiation this is it warts an all. That's the only way they will ever break the impasse or risk it dragging on for another 2 years.

And me must be the same sofa

Wringing the last bit out of the warrants or something similar

Could this be the start of the nationals finally waking up to what's been staring them in the face for the last 2 years. If so, we could start to see media coverage aimed at the armchair browsers.. Might just wake up the tracker funds etc . If you think about sxx, ukog etc neither making any money, yet always in vogue Mrs May might just have done us a huge favour on the promotional front.

Try difference should we

Whilst we await mind blowing news it's clear the BOD prefer to focus on meaningful delivery rather than issuing fluffy RNSs to justify their existence. One example from this morning plethora:

Joe Blogs announces today that it will be attending the Africa Down Under Conference in Perth, Australia, which takes place between 29 August 2018 and 31 August 2018 at The Pan Pacific Perth Hotel, 207 Adelaide Terrace, Perth, WA 6000. The Company will be based at booth 60.

Meanwhile we get a tweet to say we have secured US funding

On reflection having been severely burnt on aim I vowed never to recommend a share to anyone I just couldn't live with it. Now I think, if only I had tipped my boys off they may well have paid their mortgages of by now, hindsite ........

Worth a read:
Meanwhile, the DMR has been given a R20-billion budget over the next ten years to encourage exploration spend in South Africa, with the government considering specific tax incentives on exploration projects.

“We are also proposing a dedicated focus on junior miners and exploration companies’ assistance with access to finance,” Mantashe said.

Patience is one thing BMN is another, however if one step back gives us three forward I'll just have to wait that little bit longer

So to share my road to Damascus moment with you all – no worries – but then again I never was that concerned

Love it and thanks for sharing

The South Africa Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) has added its voice to concerns being expressed over the three-year gap outlined in the draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2018) during which no allocations have been made for new renewable-energy capacity additions.

In a statement, which broadly welcomes the draft document released for public comment by Energy Minister Jeff Radebe on August 27, SAPVIA cautioned that the lag period from 2022 to 2025 could undermine the consistent growth required for the solar PV industry to support job creation and local participation.

Citing research conducted by the Energy Research Centre, the anti-coal lobby group argues that the projects will cost South Africa close to R20-billion more than a least-cost solution of solar PV, wind and gas and undermined government’s climate change mitigation plans.

That's good enough for me thanks

From your conversations with Mikhail do you believe he will be happy with the today's proposals or a little disappointed. He has been beating the drum for some time trying to get storage front and centre of the energy mix. Big step today in the right direction forh renewables, however just curious what are your thoughts. Understand if you choose to pass on this

Looks like Cyril's finally met his match

Theresa May will visit South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya during a three-day trip aimed at laying the groundwork for future deals. The prime minister will present President Cyril Ramaphosa with the ship bell of the SS Mendi, which sank off the coast of the Isle of Wight in 1917 after it was unintentionally rammed by a Royal Mail packing boat.

In a speech in Cape Town, she is expected to say: "Africa stands right on the cusp of playing a transformative role in the global economy, and as longstanding partners this trip is a unique opportunity at a unique time for the UK to set out our ambition to work even closer together.
As well as representatives from the London Stock Exchange, Standard Chartered, the Scottish Whisky Association and JCB, the prime minister will also be joined by directors of small to medium-sized businesses.

Among them are Sure Chill from Cardiff, solar technology provider (Well there you have it our solar partner on a plate brings a tear to your eye)

Thanks for posting what also stands out 59 have dropped circa 5 to 10% opposed to 23 risers of which 5 are up on spikes. So BMN holding steady by comparison

Add me to the list * 2 of them tos--sers

The company, which is listed on the TSX, has set out a plan to complete the Gibellini permitting and environmental impact statement (EIS) in 2020, paving the way for project construction to start in 2021 and the first batch of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) product to be delivered on site in 2022.

“We believe the Gibellini project is years ahead of other North American primary vanadium projects in terms of the time to deliver the vanadium product to the market, and we are on target to transform the Gibellini project to become the first primary vanadium producing mine in the United States,” Lee said in a statement on Friday, announcing the appointment of consulting firm NewField Companies to advance the project’s EIS.
