Looking at Q1. If we repeat what we did in Q4 at Vametco of 880 MTV and add another 220 MTV for Vanchem then Q1 will be around 1000 MtV. Last year Q1 we did 649 MTV, so we would be up a whopping 54% Y/Y..
personally i think there may be some upside to that. We did a record 310 MTV back in September at Vametco so we could get to over 900 at Vametco alone... add in Vanchem and takes us comfortably over 1000 MTV.. and with V prices rising it could be a very fruitful start to the year.
Just my thoughts..DYOR

Similar sentiments were shared by Dr. Richard Viljoen, Technical Advisor, VM Investments\Bushveld Minerals, who says most growth opportunities lie in turning away from bulk commodities such as coal and iron ore, and towards battery materials.
“In revitalising the mining industry in South Africa, attention should – and already is to an extent – be turned to materials used in battery and related technologies,” he says. “South Africa has, in the world famous Bushveld complex (besides most of the world’s resource of chrome, platinum and palladium) 50% of the world’s vanadium resource.”
“As a consequence of the growing demand,” he adds, “the exploration for and mining of vanadium is expanding in the same way as platinum and chromium mining did several decades ago. The Bushveld also contains significant amounts of tin, tantalum fluorite and other rare metals including lithium.”
Very good read.
a few bullets that stand our for me..
"Insurance giant AXA said it would stop insuring any new coal construction projects, and totally phase out existing insurance and investments in coal in the EU, by 2030."
"Meanwhile, the heads of two key environmental bodies have warned that 2020 is the "last chance" to bring the world together to tackle climate change to protect communities and nature. "
This year we will see an even bigger push on renewables.
