" The Company has many opportunities to grow, each business area displaying strong prospects, with near-term and longer-term value-inflection points."

If only... Precious little 'value' generated to date.

Still waiting for the big bang though...

Some exciting stuff in there either way... £350m investment split between India and Finland... Specific mention of Grafintec and the site at Gigavassa. Production by 2025...

Page 25... "We have started the permitting process..." What does it all mean?

And travelling for work and spending time in airports is not all its cracked up to be.

On reflection, maybe there has been progress in the last 2-3 years, and our judgement is coloured by the inaction of the 8-9 years prior to that? Just a thought...

Waiting for the big bang

From his Twitter account...

And having spoken with Kurt previously, I know that I'm unlikely to get the answers that I want... But I do know that he checks-in on this board from time to time.

If this is what an 'exciting' 2022 looks like, gawd help us. And spare me the exploitation licence comments - That's been in the offing for years. 4-months to turn it around ..

Shouldn't come down to hope, should it?

Let's hope so...

KB is in Finland this week... So I don't anticipate any Kosovo update...

The RNS is the best we have

In black and white...

From the RNS released 4th July 2022

"All assays should be received by the end of July 2022, when the full set of results will be assessed."

The keyword being 'should', and the RNS does not state that the results will be made public by the end of July.

It's not complicated... Is it?

I'm wholly supportive of the company and KB - But that doesn't mean one can't be a critical friend.

Up to this point EricDraven, investors have had absolutely no return from Kosovo. Investors have endured significant share dilution in order for BEM to continually fund Vardar and it's management. Beyond the drilling campaign, what has actually been achieved?

Let's hope the results are worth it?

We've had less than a handful of operational updates in the last 6-months, less if you strip out the RNS about renumeration.

I've used the term 'project drift' several times, which may or may not be the case - We simply don't know.

It's not unreasonable to expect regular operational updates. And, as previously suggested, that as RNS cost money, if there is nothing to report, then it's pointless issuing them, it begs the question why, when given significant financial investment, there is nothing to actually report?

We shouldn't have to believe - In other words, guess

So back to my original point, which is more pertinent given Grafintec don't actually produce anything. Other than 'believing' Grafintec to have extended the agreement, in much the same way a startling number of Swedish 'believe' in fairies (I kid you not), as investors, we don't actually know it to be fact.

From the RNS dated the 11th January 2022:

"Following my September visit to India and discussions with Epsilon, it was clear that an anode materials production facility was the missing piece in the jigsaw at GigaVaasa."

So surely an update is overdue given the 6-month exclusivity on the site? The deal was signed in December 2021.

From the RNS dated 4th July 2022

"all assays should be received by the end of July 2022, when the full set of results will be assessed"

Which doesn't mean the results will be released to investors in July. But who knows?
