The electrolyte solvent seems to be ?-Butyrolactone or GBL, which is both toxic and flammable. Read about it here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aenm.202101261

That's with the latest, jelly11. I used to wonder how many would fit, now I know that it's at least 106. It does make for a better quality of reading.

Your call, wrkmq. If it were me, I would be filling my boots at this bargain price - always assuming I had the funds! This is not advice, just opinion.

They do have piles of it above ground. They have to dig it up and process it to get the V. For every ton of V they have about 35 tons of iron ore, very roughly. They should have something in the region of about 150,000 tons knocking about in a gert heap.

I found this interesting: https://www.fastmarkets.com/Media/Files/PRA/FMV2/pdfs/Promotional%20materials/Understanding_the_high-grade_iron_ore_market_Fastmarkets.pdf

I presume our iron ore will be in the form of fine powder Fe2O3 (haematite) after the salt-roast process, possibly as a slurry in a lagoon / tailings dam.

We DO have a mountain of iron ore already dug up - it will be about 35 times the size (in tons) of the V we have shipped to date.

Looking at the link that Lionel kindly supplied, I'd revise the stockpile size down a bit, to about 35 times the V tonnage.

Our stockpile should be about 50 - 100 times the size of our Vanadium tonnage, based on 1 - 2% contained V. I'd have to go back through all the early JORC reports and RNSs, and shipping logs, to get any closer. As to value, I have seen prices from $76 to $250 a ton, so shall we say $120 a ton? Why haven't we flogged it? Maybe we have, or are about to. Maybe no-one has asked for any.

I know a prat when I see one, and it ain't Pdub.

Do give it a rest, Alastair. I used to be a fan but am fast reconsidering.

superzero8, nobody stated that 5 days closure had no impact - please read the RNS and Libero's post again. Your posting is disingenuous at best.

Fishy, from exploration to production could be as long as ten years. We (and Largo) are ahead of the game here. I have left a lot out, such as getting the money (100's of millions of bucks) to develop a mine or mines and a plant or plants... This is why everyone with eyes to see agrees that Fortune has played a blinder in acquiring Vanchem and Vametco.

Have filtered wessley for the crime of being a tete de poignee...

Night of the long knives, eh?

I'll have a gram of what you're snorting - as long as it isn't Vadanium!

When you post a message, at the top right of the posting dialogue there is a drop-down that defaults to "No opinion" but you can select "Strong Buy" as I try to remember to do.

Good news, Pdub! Best wishes!

My portfolio is actually doing OK, I have been a BMN holder since 2013.

Had my AZ jab about a month ago. I'm 65 in a fortnight's time. I had next to no reaction apart from one episode of the screaming squitters and feeling a bit tired for a couple of days. I know, TMI :-)

In the words of I forget who, you couldn't make it up. Coiled spring doesn't do it justice, it's more compressed than metallic hydrogen.
