George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
No wonder Sagi wanted his nefarious purchase finalised before results. Who, in their right mind, would accept £2.85? Absolute joke.
This is bigger than another string to the bow. Potential to be massive. Can see some momentum building once the market digests.
Are you mad? Sagi offered 285p which basically means it's worth double that. If he doesn't get his way, it's outstanding news for retail investors.
I've received the same three options via HL.
Presumably, hold and do nothing means a rejection. If it was the case that only those in attendance count towards the final score, they would have to provide a reject option so we each could reject by proxy.
This is a positive. Struggling to see how he gets his 75% when the apathetic's votes are automatic rejections.
Yuri - what you on about £13m mcap? It's at £9m.
Good research, Marcus. Genuinely.
Hopefully the punters will be frothing with excitement.
It would be a welcome bridge over troubled water.
JPM must be a set of mad ****sunts.
That short has to be based on sentiment because, Christ alive, on the fundamentals, this has a one way ticket to £10.
The price of Teddy Sagi pumping in another $110m? He placed at 3.35 last time so probably taking the opportunity to average down. One would imagine it is a safe bet for him. Patience required but will surely be rewarded.
Yes, pleasing - safe for another year. After reading the announcement yesterday evening, I genuinely thought it could be curtains.
There has to be a reduction in the cash burn - it has increased massively but as they state, it is because of investment in production capacity and staff. They're currently on cash burn of c.£4.8m per annum. It must be at least halved by August 2023 - why are folk (even vultures) going to keep chucking money at it otherwise?
What perturbed me most was that yesterday's announcement didn't include any meaningful confidence that the PLC would see a tangible return on their increase in expenditure - just that LBITDA would be reduced in FY2023.
As already noted, a significant reduction is absolutely essential to gain further funding. Big announcements required this year.
Well, that is as bad as it gets.
Things did appear to be turning for the better but we are now looking at a £400k monthly cash burn.
They've turned the spend back on to increase production and staff but apparently have no confidence that they will see a return on their invested capital - it beggars belief. What a hideous ****ing sales pitch for a fundraise.
They even talk about a further non-exec appointment - what ****ing planet are these guys on?
They want lining up on Swansea Pier and machine gunning into the Irish Sea.
This is back to the dark days of that **** Gibbs when he and his board sanctioned a 2p fundraise with a 90% discount.
Unfortunately, Keith has ****ing failed and he needs to do one sharpish.
It would not surprise me if they fail to raise £2m - it really feels like the writing is finally on the wall.

Hi-Therm 2
.....
The exciting innovation aims to transform the industry. The product is currently in an advanced stage of achieving SAP inclusion (Standard Assessment Procedure) from the Building Research Establishment (BRE), which would provide an energy performance rating uplift (for use in EPC ratings in buildings). If independent test results are anything to go by, Hi-Therm® could potentially surpass all current energy saving products rated by BRE to date.
Vince continued:
“The next stage for us is achieving SAP and to put Hi-Therm® into trial homes in the UK. Our goal is to have Hi-Therm® available to the fuel poverty market, which is estimated now to be some five million homes. We are talking to very senior people within the UK Government to help bring the benefits of Hi-Therm® to this market as soon as physically possible. We have the capabilities to get this into every single home in the UK with a hydronic heating system, which are systems with gas boilers or heat pumps, as a very cost-effective method of reducing both energy usage and carbon emissions.”
With the UK’s Government bold commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, Hi-Therm® could potentially provide a solution to significantly cutting carbon emissions from domestic heating, which according to the Committee on Climate Change accounts for 32% of all carbon emissions in the UK.
Current initiatives promote the installation of heat pumps, but the solution cannot be installed in every home. Hi-Therm® could.
Hi-Therm® is a new and innovative product to the heating market that could potentially align with many people’s mission towards carbon reduction and net zero. It can be installed into any building that has radiators and it can offer energy savings at a fraction of the carbon footprint, capital costs and time of current measures and provides the dweller with significant energy usage savings.

Further to the RNS of 27th January 2022, High Tech Systems Ltd issued a press release update last week - following testing, it appears that the radiator fluid would reduce heating bills by c.30%.
They talk of being close to getting it into trial homes but offer no definite timescale. Hopefully trials will be completed and verified by the autumn and the next utility price hike.
One would imagine that the fluid will be popular once ready for mass roll out. With average annual bills going north of £3k, a £900 saving for an initial outlay will seem worth it to most.
"New Energy Saving Heating Product Aims High at Futurebuild ‘22
Stourbridge UK, 20th April, 2022:
A new product for the heating market was launched by High Tech Systems at Futurebuild in London last month to a captive audience interested in energy and carbon saving technologies.
Hi-Therm ® was given a hero’s welcome by show visitors thanks to its potential to reduce customers’ energy usage and carbon emissions by 30%.
Hi-Therm ® has been formulated to combat energy and carbon emissions in the UK’s hydronic heating sector and beyond by substituting commonly used water in radiators. The patented thermal fluid uses nanotechnology to enhance the thermodynamic properties of water.
Hi-Therm ® is subcontract manufactured by Haydale Graphene Industries using its patented plasma functionalisation process. Hi-Therm can be installed into any hydronic heating system with minimal disruption and does not require any adaptation of the heating system.
With almost 400 people visiting the stand across the three-day show, High Tech Systems’ CEO Vince Rice said:
“We believe we have developed a game-changing product and to see the enormous interest at the show has just quantified that for us.
“As we work through interest shown from the Futurebuild show, we can see the potential applications of the product beyond just the domestic and commercial heating market, but right now we are laser focused on getting our product into the fuel poverty market to assist those who really need it to reduce energy usage and therefore reduce household bills.”
Unlike water, which holds the same thermal conductivity regardless of temperature, Hi-Therm’s thermal capability increases with temperature. The product has been independently tested by several third parties including a leading university in the field of thermodynamics and the National Gas Centre for Excellence (NGCFE).
At the NGCFE, a test environment was set up with two identical 4KW heating systems, one with water and the other with Hi-Therm®, and 30% less energy was used with Hi-Therm® during several days of continuous testing.
This is supported by an independent evaluation undertaken in a university test facility specialising in thermodynamics. The simulation was based on heating a single bedroom in a domestic home for a period of one month. The tests showed a reduction in energy usage over the period of more than 30%.
The most bizarre thing has happened.
A day after VLX announce an enlarged debt facility on a better interest rate (in these days of rising interest rates), GLG Partners increase their short position by 0.15 percent; as if they are unbelieving of the due diligence conducted by the five separate banks backing the PLC; incredulous of their risk management.
Either they have insider knowledge or they're in for a smacked arse.
As it is I who am incredulous of GLG, one's money is on the latter.
Nice one, Dartron.
Absolute hysteria, panic at present.
'Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered' is my personal favourite but because of my own (admittedly incorrect) interpretation.
Before the idiom was explained as a warning against excessive greed, I understood it to mean that bulls and bears make money because they are strong.
They bet for or against a stock and, unless they acquire irrefutable evidence that their convictions are incorrect, they hold their position.
Pigs, on the other hand, want to dip their snout in the trough at any given opportunity but, without the strength of conviction of the bull or bear, they are predisposed to the market's cleaver.
A great many supposed bulls were slaughtered today.
Following today's announcement, I note the below:
Pro-specs looks like a proper company with over 160k likes on FB.
A jacket with Thermit coating was advertised by Pro-specs on 22 December 2021, garnering c1.4k likes (hTTps://www.facebook.com/184480628321524/posts/3967817726654443/).
If you follow the link within the above, the jacket is for sale for 295,200 South Korean Won.
This is the equivalent of 182GBP.
They've shifted 8,000 units in a matter of weeks. Pro-specs have therefore cleared c.£1.4m of graphene Thermit coated jackets in a month or so.
We're obviously not party to the respective split of profits between the three parties but the above looks good to me - a genuine revenue stream.
Also of note is iCraft's apparent commitment to graphene and Haydale.
I hadn't looked at iCraft's website for a year or more - it always included a link to iCraft's Brandsafer spin-off but has recently had a significant update.
It now includes a smorgasbord of information on the history and current applications of graphene, the Haydale logo prominent alongside Brandsafer's:

I would therefore expect further orders in due course. The acquisition of the capacity enhancing reactor could not have come soon enough.
Today is a good news day.
Looks like we're in for a good dose of the old Waiting Game.
For reasons unbeknownst to a mere PI, the large investors in Travis Perkins don't fancy this stock but are selling at a snail's pace.
Why don't they just ****ing get on with it?!
