"It has just dawned on me that CB is not selling the 11 547 555 million shares he currently owns. He is just selling those he will receive in lieu of salary not paid between 2013 - 2017."

"In order to make-up the shortfall to the required minimum investor allocation, Colin Bird has further agreed to the sale of his 11 547 555 shares held by him in his personal capacity. Mr Bird has retained all existing share options."

How do we know this? Obviously hope this is right, that's hugely reassuring, just want to check.

Brilliant post Paul

Personally feel this dip below 20p is a tree shake because they know it's psychologically significant and can trick many PIs into panic selling. For those feeling flakey: Don't mug yourself off. With Vanadium prices rising, and massive news due, you'd be an idiot to sell a single share sub 20p!

Trust your research & Hold. And, if you have the funds to take advantage of the dip, you'd be silly not to.

No worries, I always enjoy your tweets but don't have twitter, so thought I best take the opportunity to share my appreciation here.

The Telegram group is working very well, and is growing fast. When I joined a few weeks ago there were about 135 members, and it's doubled in size to 271 members at the time of writing.

The quality of the posts, debate, and discussion is very good. So I would highly recommend it to otherss via the link below:

Hi Sencentric,

Great to hear from you!

That's excellent to hear. Sounds like the perfect time to take advantage of the dip with a top-up.

Keep up the fantastic work you're doing on Twitter : )

All the best,
Libero

In fact the Electrolyte Plant progress will take the market by surprise anyway because nothing has been said since no progress has been communicated since September, which has probably been mistaken for no/little progress, when actually there's been lots!

Last year this came on the last trading day of January and I expect the same to happen again this time around.

At the minimum, this will confirm:
- Production increases YoY
- Much better sales prices
- Electrolyte Plant Engineering and Procurement stages being complete, and the Construction stage starting next month

...and I reckon there may be some juicy surprises in there too!

When the share price was 14.45p...

"No, Fosters, I'm just fed up of how some people on this BB jump on every tiny bit of negativity so that, even though we're 12%+ up since Monday last week, and having a blue day today, the small movement from 14.75p to 14.35p for a moment triggers comments like "down we go" -- the sort of comment that only breeds more negativity and possibly selling for no good reason.

Same sort of thing happened when we experienced small dips on 7 Dec, 10 Dec, and 15 Dec with people declaring that we are going to fall, some said as low down as 11p (!), with someone claiming it was "like clockwork."

I get this year has been very testing for us LTHs but ALL of those people who were doom & gloom were wrong in the prediction, and wrong to be so self-defeatist. And you were also wrong to say "down we go" earlier, Fosters, we're not.

It's just that nothing moves up in a straight line. What don't people get about that?

Why can't people just remain positive on here for once like a regular BB? If we, as the biggest fans of Bushveld across the whole of the LSE, cannot remain positive in such circumstances, what does that say to those looking to buy in?

Please may we try stay positive as a BB?

I'm not saying BMN is perfect because it isn't. I've even written emails in recent months to the BoD complaining about X Y and Z (mostly to do with communication to prospective investors). But this is the most ridiculously low market valuation at present vs any analysis of Fair Value. The fundamentals could not be stronger. We're on the cusp of transformational news in the next few WEEKS.... and I feel as though the market is finally starting to understand!

So please let's avoid negative comments that serve no purpose other than to ruin the re-rate we're on the very cusp of here."

This does not suggest we should be back to 23.9p like we were a year ago. It suggests we should be slightly higher even if production had not risen...

...but annualised production has risen 37% already (see the Q3 results), suggesting the BMN mining assets should be valued at 32p+ in order to be break even.

[Not even taking into account BE, our iron asset (worth $100m+), and all of our other investment assets!]

Shut up Fosters, you were all doom and gloom when we were sub 15p, and you were dead wrong.

Why can't we be more positive here like most normal bulletin boards? I don't understand some people here!

Hi Parkboy, just saw the exchange you had on the BMN and wanted to apologise you didn't get a warm welcome there. You were honestly rather unlucky there. Please do not let that 1 individual put you off.

Best of luck to you regardless. I just wanted to write this here in case you don't get back to the BMN bulletin board to see what I wrote there.

SIPPmeister, what on earth are you doing taking time to write rude comments to prospective investors making innocent enquiries here?

I honestly do not understand

Hi Parkboy,

Thank you for taking a look at BMN today, and sorry you haven't had a better 1st impression or welcome from the bulletin board here. I can only apologise for that, but please do not let that put you off.

Bushveld is incredibly undervalued, growing very fast, and actually - despite a slight dip over the past week or so - still has strong momentum having risen handsomely in the past month or so.

Vanadium prices have risen significantly in recent weeks, have risen for 9 consecutive days, and are expected to reach $40kgV at the bare minimum this year.

Also, very significantly, we're on the cusp of transformational Eskom BESS tender news in the next few weeks!

It's one of the best investment opportunities you'll ever find. And the Financial Times, Investors Chronicle, Myles McNulty, and Stockopedia all agree. Hence why they've tipped us in recent weeks.

The frustration/negativity you're seeing here is primarily because people are frustrated with
(1) BMN's poor communication, including not communicating progress they've made
(2) The fact that Market Makers seem to give us a hard time unfortunately and the plans to dual list on the JSE have taken ages because they were put on hold last year.

It's as simple as that. Putting those two things to one side (both of which should be remedied soon enough), it's a wonderful company, run by a brilliant BoD and CEO who have successfully delivered time and time again, and so I would encourage you to do some research here.

Myself and many others would be more than happy you : )

Wow what a brilliant set of tweets from BBN there!

Loved this bit : ) He's spot on, BMN is going to be ****ing massive one day!

"the biggest beneficiaries of what.is a clear and very present expanding deficit, are the 4 pure play producing facilities, of which BMN own 2 and who (as i write) has the biggest expansion plans on the table to date (c. 130% higher than their expected 2020 FY production)...

...and as the graph shows, without that added primary production expansion, the deficit gets even worse.

All of which is why those improving VRFB OEMs, like Invinity, very much need BMN, more than BMN needs them.

BMN may look like the less sexy vanadium play on the market today, but given its significantly reduced risk profile, when compared to some pre-production plays out there on AIM (vanadium or battery metals), the risk reward for me far outweighs even their prospects, which is why its my biggest holding and will remain so as this all plays out."

- Investors Chronicle, Financial Times yesterday, Myles McNulty, BBN, Michael Taylor, etc have all tipped BMN in recent weeks.

- Out of hundreds of companies, Stockopedia came up with their Top 20 tips for 2021, and BMN came 3rd (and will do better than the two above it!)

- Ridiculously low market valuation at present vs any analysis of Fair Value. Let’s not forget annualised production has already increased almost 40% since the start of the year, and is due to increase so much more over the next year. On this basis alone, ignoring everything else, we should be at 30-40p already.

- Vanadium prices have risen massively in recent weeks, and are expected to reach $40kgV at the bare minimum this year (another 25-40% from here)

As Setcentric has pointed out, we've had 8 consecutive days of vanadium prices.

- Green Stock as well as an excellent mining stock. We're in the shaded bit of the Venn Diagram between Miners and Green Energy - both of which are in fashion right now.

- We're on the cusp of transformational Eskom BESS tender news in the next few weeks! (It could even be tomorrow)

- We’re also due a RNS updating us about the Electrolyte Production Factory any day now. (This was catch the market unawares!)

- The market is finally starting to cotton on, but there’s so much more to go from here.

For newbies, please read Lionel's Summary here: https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/lionels-big-picture-428

Short term target price: 50p+ (should be in Q1 given the huge news above)

Longer term target price: 100p-200p

GLA & DYOR

Go for it, somtam!

One other thing perhaps worth asking is re dual listing plans.

Know the JSE listing has been on the cards for a while, and $1m was spent preparing for this a couple of years ago actually, so it's worth reminding them that we're still expecting news on this!

Also, and I know this has not been discussed previously, but have they considered listing on the US OTC stock market as well? because I believe this would do wonders for the share price in a similar way it has done for others such as EMH and ARB.

Excellent news!

European Vanadium commodity prices have now risen 7.5% in 3 weeks, and 18% since 10th November, according to the vanadiumprice website. https://www.vanadiumprice.com/

...and this is only the beginning!

Yes I fully expect there to be a Biden bounce from his inauguration speech, and especially for green stocks, including miners of green metals!

We’ll probs see the effects of that hear later in the week rather than tomorrow though I suspect

Very interesting theories guys, they sound very plausible!

However the MMs must be careful because their games previously killed off the level of buying/selling here, and they risk doing something similar again at this 21p level if they're not careful (which obviously is not in their interests!)

GLR - Well said.

It's baffling how we're not 25-30p already in light of what you've said.

I believe most of the recent selling is from profit-taking and traders who don't understand what they're selling, and what's about to happen here. But yeah maybe there's some sort of seller in amongst all of this as well who we've missed with the sheer volume of trades we've had in recent months.

Regardless of which it is, this is a wonderful buying opportunity, and so I will continue to accumulate shares in the same way I did at 11p.

Fill your boots and enjoy the ride up : ) There's so much more to come imminently!

Yeah I have no idea why Bushveld are keeping so quiet about what they're doing (e.g. the Enerox win was never RNS'd, we've had nothing about the Electrolyte plant in ages, even though both could and should be officially announced)

FYI -
Neither of my 2 emails to Chika on 2nd and 10th January have had a reply. Even though the former was a strongly-worded email as to why the completion of the Engineering and Procurement stages of the Electrolyte Plant construction must be RNS'd immediately.

This makes me wonder whether my email(s) have been ignored or missed now that it has been over 2 weeks since the former.

Whereas in late October, when a group of us all emailed Chika with the same message, we received a response about 2 weeks later.

All of which suggests the strategy of mass-emailing to ensure the message isn't ignored or missed is the logical and most effective one.

Will keep the board updated on this and will be encouraging others to assist if I've had nothing back by this weekend.
