sajhanif you commented "Yes - looks like a few have access to results prior to their impending release and are getting in early"!! IMO I think that the SP increase could also be because of a couple of other reasons: 1: With the Interim results still two weeks away I would consider the momentum of buying would increase more towards the latter end of this week ,or more than likely the beginning of next week(from Monday 20th).I would suggest that there could be a Contract Win to be announced very shortly that is probably going through the process of dotting the I's and crossing the "T"'s before publication of a RNS. If you look at when previous results have been reported significantly in 2016 you'll notice that when both the Half year report and Final results have been posted they both have been supported with RNS's on Contract wins on the same day. This was something that was discussed last year on why release the RNS on these contract wins on the same day if the Company already had secured these contracts prior to publication of their interim /preliminary results. Who knows the BOD might have taken this on board and if feasible will release this information earlier/prior to the Half yearly report. 2: Could they be a significant buy pending , taking into account the info that was posted on this BB early last year by who I think was Lord Adam, could this be the reason in the steady increase in SP? 28/01/2016 Market Makers Time Scale for trades. "Finally got to the bottom of when and for how long the posting the trade can be delayed ... it's actually set in Euros so the converted GBP numbers are a bit funny but here goes:" Note that the delay is optional, but it's implemented automatically by the system if the market makers chooses the option: Less than �8,061 ... publish immediately (within 3 minutes) More than �8,061 ... delayed by 60 minutes More than �20,153 ... delayed by 3 hours More than �36,276 ... delayed until the end of the day (noon of next if in last 2 hours of trading) More than �48,368 ... delayed until the end of the next day More than �64,490 ... delayed until the end of the next plus one day. I assume where the period of day is used, this a business/working day. Hence if there has been a buy of +65K for example on Thursday the 9th, then this buy doesn't have to be posted until close of play today if this time scale option has been implemented by MM's. GLA
There was an interest in this share after 13:30hrs, whereas usually on the latter end of the trading day it's usually fairly quiet, even sometimes theres no activity after 15:00hrs. Could we hopefully receive some news on a further Contract win? GLA
If the BOD delivers as promised/expected, then we could hopefully be seeing RNS of further contract wins. Wed, 6th Sep 2017 Executive Chairman John Watkins : "We are confident that our pipeline of opportunities will deliver further new contract wins and extensions over the coming months."
Morning Mirabeau : Thanks for the welcomed info/ update on L2 order book. As per a previous post on this BB(daramuda) "It is so good to be a holder in a company where the board deliver what the board says it will and do, and what CEO Roderick McIllree said on the 23rd August (Interim results) :" Work programme well advanced - targeting an upgraded resource, feasibility results and off-take agreements by the year-end" However i would prefer to read the news (if possible) of an off take partner/agreement, before the feasibility results.
Always encouraging to see when this happens c �7.5k 40,385no @18.42 pence. When I initially invested in this company at the end of August I set my holding target to the max of 10% of my portfolio but on reading how things have progressed in all aspects i'm considering to double this now. However i would be more confident if news could come on the securing of an off-take partner sooner rather later, hope fully before the end of this year. IMO this is a good company to be invested in, and can see a steady rise in the SP over the coming months.
Morning Dave, I don't know if this info is of any help,(you don't have to login or register for this) http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/s/strix-group-plc-ord-gbp0.01/share-news > company announcements> interim results.
In contrast to my post last night, at least I got the Timing correct on the next publication of information. I'm glad they've changed the name of the project to Dundas. Could you imagine trying to say Pittufik after a 5/6 pints of cider ( knowing my history of explanations I would no doubt got the "u" and the second "I" the wrong way round! Good news that the company have appointed well known and highly regarded and experienced companies for these feasibility studies. Let's not forget that's one of their ongoing projects and IMO I think we could hear more (hopefully good) news from their Disko project in the very near future. Time to be patient, but take into consideration how this co. have progressed so far this year of 2017. GL 2 u all invested in this company.
Evening SF and all, Looking at ratio of shares bought against sells (~6:1)and with the AGM this coming Monday 16th,could we see a RNS in the morning. If this does occur,let's hope we see the welcomed news of an Offtake agreement! Or maybe I'm being to optimistic
Sorry Guys: But the trade that I posted about earlier was cancelled 11:25:57 26-Sep-2017 18.52 1,000,000 185,185.00 Cancelled 11:22:18 26-Sep-2017 18.52 1,000,000 185,185.00 Ordinary trade 08:07:11 26-Sep-2017 18.50 1,000,000 185,000.00 Ordinary trade http://www.londonstockexchange.com
Although the welcomed RNS is for the maiden agreement of bulk sampling, (usually of 4-6 weeks period) that could lead to the generation of orders. However the speed this company is progressing in getting their product to seed the market, also with the expectation of high quality this will advance/reduce the time scale of the result in successful off-take negotiations. Lets not forget its negotiations not agreements as yet. However not only does this statement supports what CEO Roderick McIllree said on the 23rd August (Interim results) : " Work programme well advanced - targeting an upgraded resource, feasibility results and off-take agreements by the year-end" The word agreements was said. Probably me being over optimistic but could we have more news /update before the AGM on the 16th October. Who Knows. but IMO things are looking really good and I'll continue investing sooner rather than later. GLA: Always remember be patient
As the heading states this is an Operational Update where the company are not obliged to release any financial figures, these will come later in the year whether it will be November or December. Going by the previous dates for the year ending results : 2013 : 24th December. 2014 : 14th November 2015 : 23rd November 2016 : 19th December. However in Todays RNS ;KENV state that a second shipment of industry leading high purity tantalum has been shipped to Aftan's customer with a third and fourth shipment to follow. The RNS continues to state The plant upgrades and improved processes have resulted in the NTI mine now producing tantalum grades at the specification required by its end user Then referring back to the RNS Multi-year Agreement Mon, 17th Jul 2017 this was stated :Aftan has booked sales to the Customer of 1 tonne and will be shipping 3 tonnes imminently, so I'm assuming that they (KENV)are meeting to their clients demands in both quantity and quality. However what we must remember is that the year ending is June, and most of the supplying/shipments have happened after this date, but IMO it would be beneficial to all investors for the company to disclose the future values of these sale/revenue figures in this prelim report.
For an update within the next two weeks: On the 29th August: Bluejay CEO Roderick McIllree said, "We have made critical progress in proving the significant and unique commercial potential of our quality ilmenite product and process design. We will update shareholders on these metallurgical breakthroughs in the coming weeks, however the results received to date give us confidence we can commercially produce an in-demand, high quality ilmenite product".
but beneficial if the company were to support their financial summary in their Half-Yearly report (Due end of November 2017) with a breakdown showing both the current and future revenue to each of their contracts at the time of publishing the report (RNS). IMO not disclosing the values of both present and recent new contracts is their down fall in gaining interest in the market.
