Research into BMN progress12 Jan 2019 09:56
Talking of research anyone looking into the history of BMN might find the following. Very exciting year ahead in my opinion.
Remember that the staggering rise in BMN share price over the last two years has come about because the CEO delivers on his promises. So how about some things that BMN have delivered:
BMN announced the Mokopane vanadium play in November 2013 and developed this into a plan to become a low cost vertically integrated primary vanadium play. And they are well on the way to delivering that.
BMN announced their intention to purchase Vametco. The first stake was successfully concluded, with the help of Yellow Dragon, at a ridiculously cheap price of around $17 million when vanadium prices were at rock bottom. My understanding get is that this included about $12 million of market ready stock !!! I believe SP Angel described this as possibly the best deal they had seen. Delivered!!
Concern at the time was expressed about Yellow Dragon but FM assured shareholders that there was nothing to worry about. Sure enough BMN acquired YD stake, bringing their interest in Vametco to 59% and therefore the Vametco profits can now be shown in the accounts. Delivered!!
A placing was carried out to provide funds for three purposes, all of which have been delivered and including buying out Sojitz to bring the Vametco interest to 74%. Delivered.
Tin spin off. Delivered.
Throughout this period the price of Vanadium was rising, just as Fortune had predicted, though in fairness it may have risen higher and raised the profits at Vametco to an even greater level than he expected. This has been reflected in a rapidly rising share price, and rightly so in my opinion.
We were also promised a three phase expansion programme at Vametco.
Phase 1 delivered.
Phase 2 delivered.
Phase 3 underway.
Target annual production rate of 5000 mtV by (end of?) 2019
First VRFB to be commissioned shortly.
Dividend policy soon?
Brown field site / Mokopane licence - awaiting news
And yes. In the end it is all about the share price. And haven't shareholders had two great years on that account. In my opinion so much more to come.
So Fortune has a track record of delivering for the shareholders. I expect that to continue.
All just my opinion.
