"As part of the plant upgrade programme, Aftan has purchased a new Tractor-Loader-Backhoe ("TLB") to optimise loading of the plant to enable a continuous running process". How has the main bin been filled with ore previously ? I suspect, the current 8 hour shift may either be running a bit faster now with little down time to filling the bin, by the ton of ore or if they are looking at a new order, possibly a 2nd shift ? Another way of increasing the efficiency and maintaining an 8 hour shift would be to maintain ore feed stock from the mine to dump ? Again, same question, how have they previously been loading both the dump and bin ?

They do Uranium for the country and did do coal, I understand. Please double check. Sounds like sour grapes and bleating that it should be them.

Cant wait for 2p and atleast 3 of us will be buying, or so some say lol. Should see a rise to 3p on the flood of 2p buyers wink wink.

Anyone have any idea about this water holding ? PG - 20lph-30lph on one shift at the moment ?

I found this regarding how the high grade would effect price upwards and it appears the conflict free also adds a value. From June 2017. "Accordingly, using the aforementioned tantalum price of $193/kg and incorporating a 10% premium for the conflict-free� status of the TVI mine, we could reasonably expect that Aftan will be generating revenues of in excess of $25m pa from the middle of next year. Given its exceptionally high in-situ grade as well as its conflict-free status, we believe that an EBITDA margin of between 30% and 40% should be achievable. " Ignore the value suggested, but gives a rough guide as to what can be added.

Old. Look at a random selection of lithium stocks over 3 months. Not many on the up, so dont feel too down. ProcessGuy lifted my spirits again, although they are not on the floor, with his posts. Tantalite is a tough metal to get details on in any format, so again, trust your research. 500lbs per ton approx. The lithium IS there ,but I am happy to wait as after Tiger's last raw at us and RBR pointing out the lies we have been told, I had and am having another close look. I am happy that nothing like low grade and processing issues are an issue. Some shares valued at much more do have hurdles to get over on this. I am happy here that shipments are actuslly going out. Small, most likely and nothing like as promised yet, but the client after 4 has not pulled the plug so its looking good. Hope in the next week or 2 , number 5 shipment gets out. Chin up and trust what research you have done.

Iain, go to the Rio Tinto website. They presented something last week. Tin is top of the metals they think will be needed most I think, the lithium cobalt etc niobium and tantalum ;-)

ProcessG, teehee, thats what I was trying to do and using the ladder runs at a foot per step lol. Great link last week and good that Larry put up some new pix. When I get quality time I will give this water v ore quantity processing issue a full look at.

Funky, with you mate, BUT I am not in for a quick buck. I am £32,000+ down, but when you see holding on the research you have done, things like the 25% rise on emh on no news is easily done.fron these low sp's. Like RBR, I am kind of getting interested in adding more , not to cover my losses, but I thought under 10p was a great buy. At 2.5p what does that make this ? Like RBR, there is potential for a very quick rerate to 5p on not a lot of forward looking news. 100% from here on very little. 5-10p there are some resistance points possibly, but that depends on the type of news. I like Larry and an still very happy to have my holding. I believe in time it will pay in multiples of this sp 2.5p.

1m usually indicates a 2-5p move, in previous rise to 80p.

Lol. Add a zero after the 2p. RBR, will he play it just right and buy at 2p ? Good luck rbr.

Question. Fvpone you say its possible VW moving battery production to Germany. Contradiction is Czech want all dowstream production in Czech. Any supply from Czech would be built batteries not LCE ? This has always been my concern. However, I balance this with the requirement VW Skoda have within the Czech Rep. They will need a heck of a lot too. This demand is purely based on car batteries. Add in all other lithium battery users in Europe and devices and Cinovec could not possibly supply enough lithium, but will make a hell of a lot of money in the process.

3m tables ? Certainly not 6m. Images show water run off after crushing. Plenty of feedstock and 20% per ton Tantalum. Good posting Sir. Going to sit down after you confirm my suggestion and have a good with the water v feed rates. Not had much time over the weekend.

ProcessGuy, will do. Thanks for pointing it out.

Fo I see a line of 6 × 3m long cores placed outside the lodge ?

I count atleast 6 large tailings dumps, waiting for the extra water and then to be processed at little cost. Will easily go towards paying off the expenses needed to get the water pipework built and supplying. Can they now just take and fill up the water storage unit now embedded on site ? Was it 65ltr unit put in place ?

The length of some if the underground tunnels looks more length than I had first thought. You can see Tantalum in the walls. These can be supported and expanded in width if needed. More expense to do so, so I would guess keep drilling out crops and open surface seams for easy Lithium and Tantalum.

The picture showing Homestead main mine entry is actually sat on top of historic tailings processed by hand for Tantalum only. This main entry site is sitting on a few thousand tons of non processed lithium rich ore. Hmmm.

Thanks Processguy good spot. Water , I guess is Orange 'stream' River, but still water. Q - How much water would they need to process x amount of ore ? I know its a difficult question so I havent put a set amount of ore, but anything is better than the nothing we are being provided.

Great experience mate glad you are actively posting and trying to provide some relevant info. I am interested to know what you think to the suggested borehole's on the licence and if the aquifers may contain enough to top up ? The company have bought in and fitted water holding vessels and have 'said' they have improved recycling of water used in the process + talk of a new dam at the plant. I am working at the mo, but there is a Southern Namibia Uranium project, I think, and I was interested to see how much water they used and where it came from. I did initial research on this 18 months ago and havent had time since to deep search for the data again. Good post and please keep offering your view on this matter as its important to many who read on here. To me I am relaxed about it and only see it as being a short term issue, which is being sorted. Maybe this is a requirenent from our buyer to enable shipments to increase to their expected levels? Once up to a tipping point of good supply, the company should have no excuses ! Actions not words from Larry are the answer. I like Larry.
