Good morning Keith, i see the tin hat brigade came out in force yesterday, don’t mind them they see reds under every bed. If you are still reading this thread, and I wouldn’t blame you if you’re not.
Regarding your wife’s visit to the saltend site, i have been thinking about her not finding any mention of Pensana, As i also said i have visited the site , been in the PX Saltend visitors centre and done induction courses to allow me in for Pensana events. But i have just realised that Pensana isn’t the entity that holds the lease nor does the sign on the gate mention Pensana. It says Saltend Magnet Metals Limited, which a wholly owned subsidiary of Pensana, Consequently the security guards would only be aware of the Saltend company, probably looking completely blank at the mention of Pensana
In respect if the cancelling of the Saltend Project, Saltend magnet filed the accounts for 2023/24 beginning this year with the accounts presumably for 2024/25 presumably being ready for the inclusion in the Pensana consolidated accounts due by end October. But not needing to be posted before the beginning of next year.
One of the most valuable weapons in a companies armoury is optionality. And whilst it was looking increasingly likely that the Longonjo export focus would be the US there was still the possibility that Europe may decide to support a separation hub. Pensana was a fully engineered, permitted site, but planning permissions need re validating and company accounts need to be maintained.
My own view was when it came to filing the accounts it was decided that the chance of the Saltend coming off was far less than the cost of maintaining the option, which according to the last company accounts is in the region of £100,000 per year. and that as soon as that decision was made the market was made aware. The company is registered at Companies has under SALTEND MAGNET METALS LTD
Company number 14062786
No skulduggery in any way. I also admit is was a disappointment to me as well having grown up in that area , with my daughters who both live in the area buying shares. They are not too dissapointed being 400% up. But disappointed none the less.
