Great results from TIME and continuing in the right direction.

Boom!

The FSTE100 is currently down 1.32% and the markets are negative because of the US, so if ORCP can defy the markets with a bounce from yesterday's drop, then I'm happy.

It's easier to say it will close in the red but I'm optimistic for a blue finish today.

Good to see active buyers for ORCP.

Good start for the New Year!

Right now, no U.S. graphite mines regularly produce a commercial product, according to the U.S. Geological Survey National Minerals Information Center.

Most U.S. graphite mines were closed by the 1950s.

Titan expects to eventually produce about 40,000 metric tonnes (44,092 tons) of graphite concentrate a year, which the company says is roughly half the current U.S. demand for natural graphite.

Meanwhile, GROC will be in an advantageous position to supply Europe and the world as the reliance on China fades and the US becomes a less reliable partner. 2026 will become a pivotal year for GROC on the road to graphite production, imho.

Amid a battery boom, graphite mining gets a fresh look in the US - The Economic Times https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/business/amid-a-battery-boom-graphite-mining-gets-a-fresh-look-in-the-us/articleshow/126184210.cms

Given the big spike in the share price over the last few days, it's understandable profit taking will happen.

Hopefully this great news, added to last week's news will have a positive knock on effect for Alba's share price, since they own a large percentage of GROC.

Fantastic news.

Those annoy me, especially because they shroud out the bigger trades.

Looks like the buys are starting to come in as investors realise the links Alba and Groc have

Great to see Groc on a good run this week.

I'm always excited when we see more trades, especially after the good news we had.

Full steam ahead into 2026.

When Amitsoq was granted Strategic Project status by the European Commission in early June, the share price did climb to almost 5p.

Maybe today will be the breakthrough day. Who knows.

Asking price has been rising this morning, possibly a delayed reaction to the Greenland government granting GROC a 30 year exploration permit this week.

With just 279,272,630 Groc shares currently on the stock exchange, the price can quickly change when in short supply.

If it means warrants have been sold, I'm happy.

Then we can guage the share price better.

Obviously, I would be ecstatic with a decent share price rise, but this is AIM

Thanks Ocelot, I was unsure and asked Google what percentage of Groc does Alba own. Goes to show how inaccurate searches can be!

Either way, today's news is very positive for both Alba and Groc.

With Alba owning around 65% of Groc (AI search answer), the licence RNS is very positive news, the 30 year licence gives shareholders confidence going forward.

This was the RNS I really wanted!

Fantastic news and NOW the share price deserves to rise!

I wonder if the Greenland parliament approval for the license. - will be overcome by the end of this year?

That's the news I am waiting for.
