If you would like to ask our webinar guest speakers (Phillip Williams, Chairman & CEO Consolidated Uranium, Jamie Flegg, CDO Sigma Lithium Corp, Chris Doornbos, Chair & CEO, E3 Lithium and David Talbot, Head of Equity Research at Red Cloud Securities) a question, please submit here.
Hardly surprising if the market has forgotten /does not understand Bushveld, given the virtually useless degree of information provision by the company.
We who watch and know the company know it is a diamond waiting to be unearthed .
The total absence of any informative PR means those who don't know the company are not invited to be interested .
Its a great little company, but , as we in the north say, by gum, it needs to up its PR!

Yesteday on line from , I think Telegraph news -might have been the Express, the article I copy below shows that FM was right recently when predicting a vast increase in demand for Vanadium -and remember Largo are the only other free world producer but only have 8 years supply left. The article went;
Energy crisis lifeline: 'Overlooked solution' to prevent blackouts ‘now a reality’
EXPERTS have highlighted industrial-scale power packs that can store excess energy are one crucial way institutions like the National Grid can prevent blackouts.
By ANTONY ASHKENAZ
Climate change, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the global fossil fuel energy crisis has meant the UK has significantly stepped up its commitment to creating renewable energy generation projects. However, these projects will soon run into significant issues, as experts warn that the lack of critical infrastructure has meant that large amounts of energy is wasted in order to prevent the National Grid from overloading.
Because of the lack of sufficient interconnecting cables joining energy-rich remote regions of the UK and power-hungry city centres like London, the UK has to pay around a billion pounds a year asking energy projects like wind farms to shut off, Kona Energy, a British energy firm previously told Express.co.uk.
However, experts have now noted that industrial-scale powerpacks, which are a type of large electric battery, could be the key to helping countries deal with the impacts of the energy crisis.
Anjani Trivedi, a Bloomberg columnist highlighted the usefulness of powerpacks, particularly when facing “escalating bills and more frequent blackouts.”
In a column, she wrote: “There’s a simple solution: Store the energy and use it when the need arises.
“As the market for EV batteries expands and evolves, large industrial-scale powerpacks — energy storage systems, or ESS — are being overlooked as a potential solution to this power crunch.”
These powerpacks are large electricity storage systems that could store large amounts of excess energy from the grid or from other sources to use for a later time.
As renewable energy generation increases, experts have warned that building infrastructure to store this energy for times of high demand is critical.
Ms Trivedi added: “What’s underappreciated about these systems is that they benefit from all the EV battery developments like better energy density and safety, but don’t have the same problems or constraints.”
Exciting times in which we live!

I , for one , and I am sure I speak for many, am extremely sorry to hear your health update. Stay strong and know you have support from many you have not even met.
Your positivity and support for this growing and ( what will be) very successful company has been rational , supported by fact and unstinting.
May you stay alive and well anyway but above all to continue hitting trolls for six!
Thank you for your permanent support.

Reading your link -cannot but be good news for Bushveld .
Compliments on your find
KN
Alfacomp. How good to see you albeit in the context. How do I go to Telegram? I find this board and AIM depressing when the prospects of this gem of a company are so spectacularly good.

Good news indeed but ****ed up by untimely release and disappointingly Fortune missed the opportunity to bang the drum about Mokopane being even more ore to go at whenever needed.
Suppose we will just have to await figures , but I do wish their PR was better.

With the war between Russia being revealed as dirty (by the Russians) as the news this morning appears to paint it, it seems fairly clear that not only will the war drag on for a long time, but also as a result sanctions will continue to keep Russia’s 17% contribution to worldwide vanadium supplies out of the game. It also seems sanctions by the West will be toughened and therefore either Putin will turn off the gas supply, or, as reported, Germany will cease imports of all oil from Russia by this year end and reduce voluntarily its uptake of Russian gas . Result -higher energy prices for us all.
Small price to pay compared to the suffering of Ukraine.
Boris proposes expansion of nuclear energy supply for UK. it will be years ahead before we will be able to enjoy that.
In the press there is TOTAL silence about the potential storage of energy in grid scale VRFBs, although much comment about wind turbines being increased in number. The only comment about batteries seems to be negative (but accurate) adverse comment about storage of energy in Lithium battery farms, because of their tendency to ignite and burn uncontrollably. May I suggest to all UK investors in BMN that we should each write to our MPs, telling them that there is a completely safe, grid scale energy storage system, being VRFBs and inviting them to alert the government to the usefulness of such system in minimising the number of wind turbines which despoil our green and pleasant land. Just a couple of minutes by us all might enliven the VRFB demand at a time when energy is more valuable than previously thought.
Just an idea . KN
If you read https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2022/03/28/electric-cars-have-dirty-secret/?WT.mc_id=e_DM1554296&WT.tsrc=email&etype=Edi_FPM_New&utmsource=email&utm_medium=Edi_FPM_New20220328&utm_campaign=DM1554296 , perhaps the world will wake up to the dangers of Lithium on large scale battery installations -can only be good for a Vanadium miner!
Pdub,
Guessed you had other worries. Stay strong . If the will of those who post on this board could do it you will soon be well again .
Through adversity etc.
I always appreciate your posts as do many and your positivity is an inspiration to all

1210-
Wish the English cricket team did!!
Glad the claim has been hit for six!
Apparently the claim was , ahem, balls and wides.
Hopefully the field is now clear for further runs up in Share price.
Compliments to the Umpire.
KN-with apology for whimsy
Paul- Worth mentioning too that in the RNS of 26/01/22 it was predicted and I quote "§ Bushveld Vanadium is targeting to materially grow its vanadium production and achieve an annualised steady state production run rate of between 5,000 mtVp.a. and 5,400 mtVp.a. by the end of 2022"
Given their policy ( now) or under predicting and over delivering, seems to me the production in 2022 will be nearer 5000 tons than 4500 and this at the very significantly higher price per ton foretells substantial profits .
Maybe some reflection/anticipation of this will carry the share price upwards to more sensible levels .
We just need some figures from the board so that those who do not understand deeply the implications can have it spelt out for them. AND i have not included any value for BE!

Interesting e-mail I received today.Hopefullynot much Lithium involved but I do not know.
Given that lithium will be a busted flush in comparatively a short while , I feel this awareness of the value of battery storage cannot be other than good news
See Energy-Storage.news

nice one mogwhy- good to see Bushveld mentioned as taking part in such a large $400million project.One hopes it will lead to profit!!
Thank you Loudspeaker for keeping us all informed as we approach ever so close to FM's "sweet spot" price for V.-$45.00 to remind everyone.
Your continued postings cheer us all while our faith in the share is reinforced despite the ludicrously low sp. the light at the end of the tunnel is getting larger and brighter!
KN
Nice to see that they, at least, and hopefully well ahead of the crowd, have such confidence in BMN as to have £2.5 million ++ invested in the company.
One wonders when other financial institutions will awaken to the fantastic opportunity the present share price represents.
Wish I had more spare brass.
KN
Forgive the enquiry-but what is the Tatto Show. Tried googling Tatto Show Geneva and all I found was a tattoo Convention in March!!
If in the area , which is possible DL , and given the Sp has as I believe it will have , doubled by July, will happily replace fara with Dinner! My friends (?) claim I enjoy food !

hxulcolrdoh- Clearly an idiot deramper and as such in the green box . Better things to do than read his duplicity.
Good RNS . the plan is on track , even though slightly delayed by Covid.
Compliments to the BoD for the good progress made . Patience will be rewarded
