George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Kalan, you will see volume increase soon as they are now signing up the feed. Initially i thought the small miners were a fill in or stop gap, but it looks like they’ve evolved into a masterstroke.
Definitely Gray, if they grow the copper on this platform, earnings will be jumping, especially if the copper price keeps jumping as production jumps.
$15M, would certainly be a land mark Seis! Seems to me, most people expect the price of copper to keep rising.
Seis, that's great thanks. The chrome increase is significant if that holds through the current quarter. The copper average is increasing by the day as well, given the current copper price. Even at 300 tonnes per month and the $10kt price holds, that's a significant increase. Earnings should be around $15m for the final quarter? Whats your thoughts?
Totally agree NTD, Its becoming very apparent Neal is doing an amazing job. I get the feeling of restraint on Leon for the first time. A discipline that was much needed. He will have a thirst for income, not just potential. But we also have to commend Ollie. There is a real structure to the company and i cant help but feel his influence is reflecting in the company status. Hob nobbing with the like of RBC and IRH. Now its up to Ricus to really earn his stripes. 2 small licence agreements in the bag! A target of 50! His influence is already showing with the success so far. But still a long way short of 50! Come on Ricus its challenge 50 time!
Thats very interesting, thanks Seis. I think a little later he referred to Black Mountain. Which i believe is the black glass. Jubilee have openly stated they are still working on a formula for this.
HD, i think we have a big advantage in the modular approach. Pay as you go. This will allow continual growth without major upfront cost. I would imagine more and more players will join the arena, but there is plenty of resource to go around many players. I would also think the DRC, would be very suitable for the small mine approach.
Sorry guys, bad maths more like $2 per share. Then i think, theres over 3k small scale licences. Leon has identified 50. What is the potential here and as Leon says, largely over looked.

If a mine producing 300kt of copper has a price tag of circa $9B. I am immediately drawn to Leons plan of 50 small scale mines at 4kt per year per licence. That’s equivalent of 200kt per year! Roughly two thirds of the above price tag!! If each mine is purchased, that signifies a value of $6B. A market cap approaching £2.50 per share! Obviously there are partnership agreements in place at present, so the value would be reduced. But ghis is just one aspect. There is the rocks, there are the tailings! There is chrome! Whats next on the list?
Classic slight of hand. The person wanting the share price to increase, changes the header to a more light hearted/ optimistic title header. The person wanting the share price to decrease immediately changes back to a pessimistic title, ensuring their message is subliminally being repeated.
When there is small volume, the musings on here can have a big effect on the share price short term. Long term the profits have the final say. The folk trying to drive down the share price down, make their margins, often very small. It is a battle that will never change no matter what is said. It is just the moral and ethical musings of said people, that portray the real character of those people.
Harmony is a wonderful ideology, but rarely achieved. When you have half the posters on here wanting the share price to increase and the other half wanting it to decrease. There is undoubtably going to be friction. Money is very emotive! Especially in relation to the ones that fake their position or motives. Unfortunately there is no way to tell who is telling the truth, other than to build up a long term picture. I have met a lot of the long term posters here at the AGM and they are a very decent bunch indeed and most, regularly post here. Harmony is utopia, but rarely achieved. Money is very big driver and often changes or influences a persons character.
DBH, dont play into his hands. Hes just getting you to keep going over the message he wants displayed. Everyone will read the posts and see him for what he is and his supporters.
Yep DBH, he is not invested ATM. Whats worse he is encouraging others to be negative under the guise of discussion.
Its good to disagree Heroic, if based on a sound argument. But I cannot see where Got Real is implying you are bad?
Not sure were going to get 3rd quarter financials now. Think we will have to wait for the full year. Looks like just production numbers. But i am hoping you are right with the $5, that will make a lot of difference until Thutse 2 arrives in August.
Heroic, thats not a rant, but a perfectly good question and statement. I guess some long term holders get disgruntled and want to vent. Some need the confidence from fellow board members. Others are just outright devious and nasty!
Gray, indeed! We know the price of chrome has improved, so the margin has to improve as well. Its just a question of how much more?
Totally agree NTD, although its looking like we could be swallowing up a load of small scale miners. @ Heroic, at this share price there is no real risk i can see. Gray has already illustrated how chrome more than covers the current share price. Chrome is well and truly proven and expanding rapidly. PGM’s can only improve. Very little risk here with chrome prices still in an upward trend. That means its essentially a free copper play. Not only is it a free copper play, its likely to be a rapidly expanding copper play. Chrome sets the president for this. So you can invest when all is proven on the copper front with 25k production and miss out on the multi multi bagger. I prefer to invest now and hold, knowing the concept has been proven with production on a small scale. The feed is now rapidly being secured and will arrive en mass shortly.
Northern, looks like Jubilee could be getting into mining in quite a scaled way. With the option to buy M and the other 2 completed deals. Im guessing they are building the option into every contract. Think Leon said they were pursuing 50 small scale licences. He later said each small scale mine could produce 4000 tonnes of copper per year. It doesnt take a mathematician to work out what that produces. This is another part of the future, that wasnt even considered 3 or 4 years ago! So small scale mining on the agenda, waste rock piles and eventually tailings. Looks like Leon & team, have really got their work cut out for the next 5 years. Leon, Neal and Ricus, just how big can you make this? The challenge is on!
Gray, i really believe, having an internationally recognised bank like the Royal Bank of Canada on your side, puts Jubilee up with the big boys. The money players! Think this heralds whole new possibilities going forward.
