Conscious - you are so right today was very much a momentous day. This company truly has made exceptional progress.
When I first invested back in March 2017. Just over 17 months ago the share price was 5 pence. There were amazing prospects and the potential for this company to build a powerful exciting vertically integrated mining business. It seemed incredible but I could see something special. I found this board and I was so impressed by the quality of the information, the depth of investigation it was quite incredible. Then I found the interviews with Fortune, I was impressed. He was very different from other big company CEO’s. I was hooked and I could see the vision. I read, I listened and I invested. My little pot grew and I have managed to invest for me what is a lot of carefully saved investments here and I have been well rewarded. Now once you find something like this and your confidence grows and you see incredible progress in just 17 months. 500% increase. Developing a mine from the brink to one of the top 3 in the world and a future which is as sure as anything can be. Well I can wait for the time when Fortune and his team are ready to share the next news and development. I work in industry and projects often take time, procurement often takes time too. There are times when you need to be wise and do due diligence. One would think this is exactly what is happening here. Only a fool rushes in. Best to check consider and only when everything comes together you should press the button. When we have the next news I am sure it will be just what we need. The people reading this board most of which have invested there life’s work and savings, feel that this is something good. Why because of the fundamentals.. these are not just our words but our CEO’s. if you read the RNS’s and listen to the interviews or
It is plane to see.
Patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait. Let’s see what comes.
Thanks to those faithful on this board. I feel that one day soon even the most sceptical scrutinisers will see where we are heading. They have two choices stay or go. If they stay they can do very well. If they go it will be there loss.
Just remember 3700 tonnes of vanadium, current market selling price $80000 per tonne and operation costs of less than $20000 per tonne. Brings quite a return. If that is not enough next year we are increasing to 5000 tonnes per annum.
Might be quite a reasonable investment opportunity.
Good night one and all.

Thanks, Clarky. Me over and out. Karma indeed ;-)
Off for some quiet time now.

So this is a great start to the week, after a steady week last week. There is definitely an air of excitement in the air. We now as every week goes by we are closer to one or other of the phenomenal news items which can drop. Yes, I know this is a very bullish statement! But as we keep on saying it is based on the fundamentals. For me, I don't mind when the news drops as I am not looking to get to 30p and sell. I am here to see this company grow from a minor into a major. This story is as FM says is a story not half told and we are looking a huge growth from here. Our new broker target is a few pence above where we are, and as long as each time we exceed it, it gets lifted that is all that matters. We don't want a broker target to high as it looks contrived and is if there is an issue when we are a long way away.
So we are likely to be on our way to 51p and above over the next 8 to 10 weeks and I am sure once we get into November as the world gets busy after all the holidays have finished we can expect to see another lift up towards 80 to 85 pence. By which time the world will really know what this company is doing and we will then be going to levels investors have not dreamed off.
Exciting, you bet. Have a great evening one and all!

Have a great week.
Invest at 27.5p whilst you can. This will be over a £1 in less than a year, based on fundamentals.

What an exceptional days reading on this board. With the exception of one, there is some great reading on here. Working as a team to highlight everything anyone needs to know about Bushveld Minerals clarifies as much as we can at this time.
For sure we all anticipate all the news which is coming because our research helps read between the lines.
In any investment we all can question is this the one and is there any potential for it going wrong. What sets this investment apart is the fundamentals. There is no speculation with respect to the core and backbone of this company. If we only had Vametco, the mine and process production plant which produces high quality Vanadium which in the main is sold in the US, this company is and would be extremely undervalued and be a massive buy. Even more so when you consider any figures currently showing in previous quarter production were when the production rate was 3000 tonnes per annum and now we are at 3700 tonnes per annum. Then factoring in the market price rise of vanadium to over $80000 per tonne from around $68000 previously. That is significant. Then factor in we are already committed to a plant expansion to 5000 tonnes per annum by the end of 2019 when the price is highly likely to exceed $100,000 per tonne. This is exceptional.
So what ever happens we are in an amazing place.
However we have news due over the coming months which will accelerate our growth:
Brits - a huge Vanadium reserve right next to Vametco
Mokopane - an even larger reserve of Vanadium for which we are awaiting a mining licence
Lemur - A huge coal asset in Madagascar where we are going to supply into a new power station being constructed which will bring huge benefits to the people of that third world country
Bushveld Energy - A new technology which may well change the way we globally produce electricity making renewable power source viable where previously they would have been inconsistent. VRFB have the potential to change the world and to do this there needs to be a plant to produce the electrolyte and Bushveld Energy are going to build one and more news will be coming very soon on this.
So on the list of things to come there are questions on how this will play out. But one thing is for sure once they do become a reality this will take this company to a new level.
Is there a risk?
South Africa is not the most stable place in the world, but its government needs companies like BMN, lead by there own people. Someone like Fortune Mojepelo with impeccable business acumen will be well respected and held high with the political establishment and will likely be a focus of business growth in a country trying to build from tough times. That is very good for us. So there are risks, but the reward for success here far outways any risks.
So for the week ahead we are in a great place. If you are wondering should I invest? If you can find a company with better fundamentals maybe not. But I can’t find one.
Have great w

Superb. Great find Bushveld Minerals the booklet.

I am really pleased, although we have only finished up around 3.4% this week in a week with very little news this is still very encouraging. There have been still a much greater volume traded each day and we still know that we have great news ahead of us whenever it comes.
I am buzzing with confidence that Fortune will deliver and we will see this go to the next level very quickly. The fundamentals are so strong and this makes this an unstoppable train. Given that the market can't see what we know, as we have read all the nitty-gritty, which can be traced through everyone's hard work as well as the info presented by BMN through interviews and RNS statements we are in a very good place indeed.
Looking forward to another good week next week. Just as a sanity check if your money was in a Cash ISA you only get if your luck around 0.5% in a year. In BMN we have had 298%. Not bad. In the next year, we could have at least the same again. Why not.
Have a great week. Cheers.

Speeds most of his life possibly laughing at just winding people up. Most of us just want to help each other with information and encourage people who have doubts, when we have spent a very long time reading and researching this company and its potential.
It breaks my own rules to post this, but I just find this time of person objectionable? I am sure most agree. Sorry folks.
I feel sorry for him and his other friends who are equally sad. I will not comment further on this.

For those keeping on the subject you are doing a great service to us all, and it massively appreciated!
Have a great weekend all.

So I see our friend is back. Last time it was a White Cap (in defeat) and now with a Yellow Jersey. Direct french translation. We will soon see.

Q2 Will come when FM and the board of directors are ready and they have all the information they require to give to the market. We are waiting and we all know the news will be good so we have now concerns. Q3 will be even better, and Q4 will be even better still. Then as we progress towards 5000 Tonnes per year next years quarters will be stronger still. Everything is in place and this company is making very good money indeed and will reinvest into making this one of the best companies we have ever invested in. We have very good growth and a growth curve is set to accelerate.
There is not one LTH here in anyway concerned what is happening. We are very happy and we won't be going anywhere soon.

Ophidian don’t forget to strap a VRFB to the DeLorean. Can we call you Doc from now on. ;-)

magalleniccloud - one of the largest investment companies in the UK is Hargreaves and Lansdown they over investment ISA,s and SIPP’s. Great service, reliable as well. Possibly not the cheapest, great phone app too.
In the ISA you can invest up to £20k per year, all growth is free of capital gains tax, and all withdrawals are free of income tax so has a long term saving tool with a phenomenal growth share like BMN it is perfect.
The SIPP is a great place to bring all you pensions together and also invest in companies like BMN where you will maximise your returns. In less than 5 years increased my pension by more than 10x. If I had left it where it was it may have benn 20% up if I was fortunate.
But take financial advice. But don’t buy any investment policies they are rubbish.
Have a great day.

I have just been catching up on the board today. Some really well thought out posts on here with great research and foresight. Having found some amazing growth shares from the days when I was given some free Halifax shares and free standard life shares. I got the bug to invest. But it took me 7 or 8 wasted years to realise what I could do investing. I have had some great growth stories ASOS, BOO, TED ( I used to like fashion stocks). The found G4M and KWS. Then ARS. First mining stock. All this new technology and battery stuff got me searching. Then found this battery storage using vanadium. Wow that looks interesting, I thought! Went looking for a vanadium stock.. I found a certain Bushveld Minerals. Massive potential but made no money. Is this the find on my life I thought. Found some YouTube interviews with a certain Fortune Mojepelo. Wow great guy, great vision, er great name. Found there website did some reading. Then I thought I wonder if it was possible to find a online share forum with chat. Never looked before and found this board. Well the SP was around 3p. As always I read and watched. Sold some BOO and bought £10k at 5p. It the jumped to 7p and I gradually sold every other investment the more I learned and pilled in here. I continue to add each month. I am so pleased I did, and with many posters here with the insightful and dedicated research it has already given huge reward. But we are still so unknown and so much potential. This company as we know is making huge money that manufactures could not come any where near in such a short time. We are less than 30p. When I bought BOO it was 40p and sold the last at around £2.2 in a fairly short time so rises can happen very quickly with great fundamentals. We have those here in spades! But unlike fashion our margins are huge and volume is not quite as important. But this Vanadium and those VRFB’s have an inevitability of being so criticle to the humans long term electricity needs by storing renewable energy just as the world goes electric mad. The timing is perfect. This is going to be massive and we are in the right place at the right time. Selling? Not on your Aunt Nellie. This will be paying dividends for years to come. ISA or SIPP. That’s the best way to invest here. I will be adding till I retire! Few years to go yet.
Thanks to all. Please be considerate to all posters. We have no need to say things to upset or hurt our fellow investors. If it isn’t relevant skip to the next one that is. Quality is the best policy.
Looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow.
Q2 Bushveld Vametco RNS very soon.
Good night all..

Great post Pdub!
Thanks for that.

It is amusing really, the incredible detail we have put on buys and sells. As a small cap of course with low trading volumes individual trades have really seemed to effect the SP. All the LTH’s have seen this effect first hand and many of us with reasonable investment numbers have changed the flow and direction of the SP with buys and sells. However, over the last few weeks as the trading volume have increased and the SP starts to rise we will see less significance in the effect of the smaller buys and sells, especially if we move into the top end of the AIM 50. We could easily work into the top 10 within 12 to 18 months.
Momentum still has a huge effect but once the impact of what have been reasonable size trades 5k to 10k trades will become small fry and the £30k, £40k and £50k trades become the influencers. We will only be commenting on theses larger trades.
Even many LTH’s with substantial investments are unlikely to sell off in large bites. Why?
So many of their shares are in a SIPP accounts. So if BMN goes where we think it will and continues to grow and pay a dividend, those holders with more than a million will be drawing down the dividends and small lumps whilst living off the capital growth. The only time when they will need to sell significant figures are on the crystallisation dates. Date of retirement and 75th birthday based on current tax laws. They will pay 25% tax on anything over £1 million. You need to study the tax laws of the day and take advice of an accountant.
Those with large ISA holdings will again likely on draw off smaller sums at a time. Even for bigger purchases, you are better taking enough for a deposit and financing the rest as you will earn significantly more from capital growth on the investment than you pay in interest. That is why most wealthy people still use finance even though they have the cash.
This beautiful investment has potential to be in this area. Especially if BE really does take 10% of the global VRFB market. We could easily have a £5 to £10 billion market cap.
So before you sell all your holding to buy a supercar, yacht or airplane, be sensible take out what you need for the deposit find a good finance broker and keep your investment working for you. In the meantime, it will keep the SP going in the right direction. But enjoy the money you have made, but at the same keep it working for you. Once spent you will not get it back easily!
Hope this helps. Most financial advisers are quite so helpful as they want you to buy some policy or other.
Sorry I was getting board of the unhelpful children’s playground, I am bigger than you and my dads harder than your dad stuff. I expect better than this on this board. Oh sorry, I am actually moaning. I must be getting old. Smile folks ;-)
Good night all. I fancy an RNS tomorrow. ....... ........

I just hope FatBanker is on the right side of his lake this morning :-)

Capablanca, you asked last night if we have a mining right for Brits?

If you look in the article on the Bushveld Perspective - BMN Technical - You will find in the Article 2017 Project Boost - then see point 7.2 which gives the exact legal position of Brits in words I cannot emulate.

Also if you read the Q1 RNS for Bushveld Vametco Brits position is again updated:
Brits Project
The Company has begun an exploration programme at the Brits Project, comprising prospecting rights on several farms adjacent to Vametco, with the aim of establishing a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. In February and March 2018, a soil geochemical sampling programme and ground magnetic survey were carried out over the Brits Project area, and interpretation of the results of this work has led to several drilling targets being delineated.
Drilling on these targets commenced in March 2018, and thus far eight diamond drill holes have been completed, totalling 833.08 metres. The Lower Seam (the primary orebody mined at the adjacent Vametco Mine) has been intersected in several drill holes, and the Intermediate Seam and Upper Seam have also been intersected in some drill holes. Drill cores are currently being logged and assayed. Assays will be carried out at the Vametco mine laboratory and confirmed by an independent external laboratory, with results published as they are received.
The Company will commence infill drilling at the Brits Project and will begin estimation of the Mineral Resource once logging, sampling and assaying of all drill holes has been completed.

I am sure in Q2 update due soon we will hear more. I hope I have helped you find the answers in the way which BMN have clearly stated.

I am sure when we need to utilise Brits we will be able to access the resource. At this moment in our history we have access to all the vanadium we need and can process.

What I find amazing is that clearly the steady rise here is ignited by the number of daily trades increasing day by day as people wake up to this company. As a holder since March 2017,I have seen the massive progress and drive that has lifted the price from below 3p, to when I bought my first tranche at 5p to today where I hold a very nice number of shares and will continue to add to well beyond the £1 level.
This company can be seen as a new tech stock based on Bushveld Energy which will be supplying Electrolyte for VRFB for large grid and off grid energy storage for the developed and undeveloped world. A mining and metal additive supplier supplying the one off the most important minerals to strengthen steel (Vanadium of course) in a time when the global supply is constrained due to the lack of mines with high grades of the mineral. We are one of three in the world!
This as at a time when the price is over $80000 per tonne and we are selling 3700 tonnes per year with a operating cost of around $18800 per tonne according to the last operational RNS. Based on 59% of the profit that is a considerable number. Actually that would be $133.59 million per year. Next year this will increase to 5000 tonnes per year with expansion plans to 10000 tonnes per year.
Then we have a coal mine in Madagascar with a joint venture power station which will be operational in 2021. This may be floated off giving all investors here shares in a new company. This is not the first time this has happened. Our Tin assets was floated off last December. All holders had free shares in Afritin ATM.L
We have two additional Vanadium assets which have huge reserves. Brits which is next door to Vametco our Vanadium mine and processing plant and Mokopane which once a mining licence is granted will give us one of the largest high grade Vanadium assets in the world.
So at just under 27 pence per share this is so undervalued it is unbelievable. It will be rising well beyond a £1 and is likely over 3 to 4 years to reach numbers multiples above that level.
If you have just found this company welcome and this will be an investment of a life time even from this level.
Check out the Bushveld Perspective website and research away. It is all there!
This is a great board with a group of highly knowledgeable investors. We work as a team and we help each other. This is the key. Finally check out our CEO Mr Fortune Mojepelo see his interviews on YouTube, a genuine guy who is ambitious but grounded. If you have just discovered Bushveld Minerals. You have found a gem of an Investment. There is a lot of news due soon so you better get on board to maximise your opportunity.
Welcome.
Good night all. Cheers!

We seem to be now sitting in a stable window of 26/26.5 waiting for the next buying spree.
Looking at the RNS from last year it was 14th August last year.
When ever it comes we can expect significant improvements to the figures from quarter 1
Amount produced, price sold for, reduced stock, lower operating costs. Significantly more profit per day, week and for the full quarter. Given the increase in production since June and the increase in the selling price for Vandium Q3 and Q4 results will be significant jumps again and this will open the eyes of the world to this incredible company.
Do look at the last RNS for Q1 and then think about our position now. The maths looks truly awesome.
Have a great day.
Thoughts still with Knuttie and his good lady.

The MM,s are squeezing the spread as is there usual tactic after the first 15 minutes trading to try to entice selllers and liberate some shares to sell back to the market. They won’t be getting any of mine!
This is going up nicely and will continue to do so over the weeks ahead. Hold tight and will reap the rewards.

Dear Knuttie,
Over the time I have been reading this board you have given insight and encouragement to new investors and we are all so grateful. It is great fun and rewarding investing, but in the end our health and our families are the most valuable treasure we hold. my good lady and I wish you all the very best for tomorrow we hope and pray that the medical people of our amazing health service are able to find away to find the right medical care and support she needs and your situation too.
It is very clear from every poster on here that your constant encouragement is much appreciated.
Keep strong and keep smiling. We hope all goes really well for you both. Thank you and take care.
