My understanding is that anyone with a holding of less than 3% doesn't have to notify anyone about anything unless they go over 3% again.

Mining in South Africa on the rebound

Date: Jan 10, 2019 Bulk commodity and base metal prices in South Africa have shown an impressive recovery over the last two years from the long-term lows experienced in the beginning of 2016. These price recoveries were driven by global economic growth and China’s focus on greener production. Unfortunately precious metals didn’t have the same recovery and platinum prices for example are trading at severe lows, PwC partner Andries Rossouw tells SASCHA

The price of FeV in the US (which takes 50% of our output) did not fall anywhere near as low as Chinese or European FeV and is also on the move North. IMO prices will pick up quite rapidly in the next few weeks across all markets.

GLOBAL VANADIUM WRAP: European FeV prices rebound as buying interest returns
European vanadium prices began to bounce back in the week ended Friday January 4 amid renewed supply tightness and increased buying interest, while Chinese export prices stalled on a lack of trading activity.

Chinese export prices stall on thin trading EU FeV market rebounds on renewed buying interest EU V2O5 prices edge upward on FeV strength US FeV prices continue downward correction, lag behind global price movements. Chinese ferro-vanadium export prices stabilized in the pricing week ended January 3 on a lack of trading activity, with many overseas buyers still absent from the market on their year-end holidays. Meanwhile, despite thin numbers of inquiries from the overseas market, Chinese exporters held their offer prices relatively stable because they noticed that the domestic market was showing the potential for a round of price rises in the near future. Fastmarkets’ price for ferro-vanadium, fob China, was assessed at $68.50-70.00 per kg on January 3, unchanged from the week before. Some domestic ferro-vanadium exporters were reported to have received inquiries from the Asian market and offered at around $70 per kg last week, a price...

Nothing goes up in a straight line, not even BMN or Vanadium!
When the incestuous city has had its pound of flesh we will move North again.
Hopefully institutions coming on board usually regulate this behaviour.

There are quite a few comedians who have been posting on here today that are getting quite warm around the lower backside region's.
The hotter it gets the more they post.

Didn't think it would be too long before somebody started doing covers of the chuckle brothers.

Got to agree with you there cindercone being influenced by total strangers on AIM BB's on when to sell and buy using TA is a recipe for disaster, they're usually doing the opposite of what they're telling you.to do.

Vanadium Spikes On New Chinese Regulations

Date: Jan 2, 2019

The global scramble for a little-known metal called vanadium is officially underway.

The metal, which when used in small amounts can help strengthen steel significantly, is in high demand following new Chinese regulations on infrastructure and buildings. The new rules, which came as a result of a 2008 earthquake that devastated part of China, are aiming to phase out the use of low strength steel in building projects, as reported.

The market for the metal is very small, with about 80,000 metric tons produced each year. Roughly 90 percent of that is used in small amounts in projects like bridges and skyscrapers. While two years ago it cost less than $5 per pound, it surged as high as $29 per pound last month.

Supply of vanadium globally has been “drawn down to nearly nothing,” according to Jack Bedder, director at a London-based research and consulting firm.
