Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Thanks for the heads up.
Signed up and very much looking forward to it.
Having bought another 200,000 shares. Hopefully, I will feel more comfortable about the SAV future.
Given the' mercurial' changes in the SP, are we in the wrong metallurgic mine?
please excuse my sense oh humour! :0)
Looks very positive, let's hope it materialises.
I agree, as i mentioned in an earlier post, when things are going well, shout it from the roof tops.
What does the calm silence tell us?
I have mentioned in previous posts that I am unfortunately a positive person. I say unfortunately because I may not always see the writing on the wall. I am with CM on this. My primary concerns is the lack of information coming from SAV, if you have something to shout about, it is natural to broadcast it. On the other hand it there is no good news there is a tendency to keep quiet and hope no one notices it.
Many on this site have been critical of the lack of information from SAV and some have been calling for the head of he CEO.
In some ways I liken this to going in for surgery, you hope for the best, you need to have comfort that the surgeon knows what he is doing and is adept at surgery.
Would you feel comfortable without such information ?
Given the Rio Tinto association with SAV, do you think this will have a positive or negative affect on the Portugal issue?
Once more, thank you for directing me to what I thought was an excellent 'article'. Seems to me that there are no red lights but there is an amber beacon related to the likely response from the local communities in relation to the mining project. I am pleased to hear the positive comments from the EU on how they are planning to help the affected communities to understand the importance of the need for the earth materials and also to help then come to terms with the necessity of the mining project.
Concentration on the future rather than the present is a wise move and i obviously hope this will be a successful approach.
Dogs dinner comes to mind !
My understanding is as follows, Sav have negotiated a deal which removes future costs in maintaining its Oman site whist still holding the title of the mine in return of 50 million shares and holds a 1% royalty if production takes place. The aussie company responsible for raising funds or to sell to say Matilda who are already in production. Problem is whilst we are not going to raise further funds we have put the problem at the door of the currently delisted aussie company. Think theirs more to it than what's reported but who knows. Sav saving money going forward in maintaining the site which avoids them possibly from doing another rights issue. Question is whether or not the Omani shareholders stay in place.. let's see what happens.
Sorry if this has already been posted.
Nice to see a run of buys from 13th August to 18th. Not sure what this implies, but I do have an irritating positive attitude to life.
:0)
Thank you for posting this, I was having problems getting hold of the info.
I would agree, I have taken the opportunity to buy more shares. I am more confident about the EU need for Lithium than any of the other pies SAV has it's fingers in.
I agree, time to top up again. Maybe just me, but given that Portugal is the only Lithium mining in Europe, why are they not being covered by the car newly established battery manufactures ? Perhaps it needs a positive push from Portugal once they have agreement with the locals who will affected by the mining?
Very good news and hopefully it should be a very happy Christmas as it all comes together.
Yes I agree
I respect your views and I suspect you are a lot more au fait with these matter than I am. It is only this year that I have taken an interest in the process of investment, although I have held these share for a number of years. Having looked at the share distribution, 9.3% individuals, 4.6% board, the remainder distributed to what appears to be large companies. In my naivety , I would have thought they would put their money elsewhere if they were not convinced that SAV are a good bet.
I guess we all see different things. I am quite content with this RNS. I am looking to the long term with this project. Not expecting much of a shift in price until we see the stuff coming out of the ground. With a stated date of 2021, this is the first time I have noted SAV have been so specific. Also the low risk evaluation at the end of the presentation is encouraging given the local Community view. Unless i have misread it, SAV will be the biggest if not only European supplier? For me, this has been a little like an Olympics marathon, and we are seeing the runners returning to the stadium with our favourite runner in pole position.
A little something to try and cheer us up in these troubles times.
Hope you are all keeping well. Say safe.
Excellent presentation, worth taking the 50 minutes out of your time to read it.
Main points of interest relating to why could be applied to SAV :
Best case scenario for mining production 5 years.
To produce anything of value 20 years.
I still have lot more of this to view but thought it may help if you are still undecided about SAV.
Well i managed to make it through to what can only be described as a soporific presentation.
Key notes for me?
1. looking to make a move into Europe
2. Mining projects take time.
3. SAV sit up and take notice.
Thank you for your eloquent response, some of which has raised confusion for me.
According to SAV web site, the project is reported as: "with a granted mining lease valid until 2036, extendable for 20 years". Also stated as "high grade (over 6% Li2O) clean, low iron spodumene.
It is wonderful to able to have input from someone who is close to the reality of this project and I welcome your intervention. Unless I have misread the intonation, ether SAV are misleading the share holders or the Portugeese government is misleading their citizens as there appears to be two differing opinions.
