That said, directors have big holdings here. That could be good or bad news depending on their intentions towards retail share holders. We could easily be shoved out if they decide to take it private and keep the spoils for themselves, or of course they might do the decent thing and get a deal that is in the interests of ALL share holders. First time for everything on AIM I guess…

That’s a year old p2r! There’s been no news on any funding from private sector or govt. Northern Lithium are a competitor and have stolen a march on Weardale by announcing partnership back in Oct to get to production in 2027. Weardale can’t possibly compete financially with what they have now so my feeling is Northern will make a hostile bid for Weardale and MAC’s 8% - which is certainly NOT valued currently at £80m lol - will be thrown in with what I suspect some half decent offer. If Stewart Dickson, with his background, can’t get funding or partners involved then I think the next best thing will be to sell the project at this early stage. It means we won’t get anything like true value but a bird in the hand as the say….

I could see an offer of £30m for Weardale being accepted (10x their current valuation) and that would hopefully mean our 8% would be worth a share price of something nearer the region £2.5m on top of current sp. So basically double where it is now. I would be thrilled with 100% from here as I’ve now got rather a lot of these shares.

No, wrong again NU, I’m really not :)

Anyway, can anyone enlighten me on the recent RNS that informed the market that Klarian would not be paying CTAI back the c£450k after what is now a third extension? Tks

If Klarian are doing so well and have something good to tell CTAI share holders then why can’t they pay back the loan? It’ll be a total sham of a webinar if it happens with lots of statements offering future promise whilst delivering the usual: nothing. It’s what happens on AIM and everyone knows it. Just don’t fall for the tripe posted here foretelling great success. Look at the Directors and what’s happened to the last 3 incarnations of CTAI. If makes for difficult reading, especially if you’ve over bought here in CTAI

Did Rob Clegg, CEO of Klarian ever hold that investor webinar via the Investor Meet Company platform? We were told about that over a month ago.

Alludium appear to have gone silent. Odd that.

Really looking forward to hearing how well Klarian are doing with all the money CTAI payed them in an unsecured load… very sharp move that. Is the penny dropping yet?

22nd August - The Board is confident that the investment in Weardale Lithium will deliver an uplift in value in due course.

Six months later and we’re still waiting.

Otm, by ‘decent day’s debate’ do you mean you’ve managed to ‘moderate’ the bb to your satisfaction? Is become unreadable of late

‘It is worth noting…’ is a favourite phrase of the clown who puts MAC’s RNSs together. How long ago did he say that and what news has there been since? None. Oh other than results in which we were astoundingly told they’ve had another ‘challenging start to the year…’

Forget about Marechale the Company. The only potential value here is via the Weardale investment and it’s taking much longer than anyone thought to get funds in place. They need tens of millions and they need it quickly, said Stewart Dickson in that interview almost 12 months ago. Well, they’ve not been able to say a word about any funding from any source, let alone the UK Govt and its hilariously titled ‘CRITICAL minerals policy’. 12 months on and they ain’t raised a penny as far as I’m aware but our wonderful company Directors just keep taking those monthly pay cheques… Very good of them to do that to make it look as if the Company is actually doing something.

If Weardale don’t get funding soon then MAC goes under is my guess.

Oh no YTee, don’t tell me you’re still holding out for that loan? It’llnever happen. Did robbing Rob Clegg, CEO of Klarian ever hold that investor webinar via the Investor Meet Company platform? We were told about that over a month ago. If it’s happened then it has made a terrific impact on CTAI share price lol

Ctai can’t even get Klarian to come up with some feeble excuses as to why they’re not paying back the loan, never mind actually pay the loan. Ooh that gave me a laugh YTee. You should rename yourself YBother

M and in the real world…how long before this hits.2p again? This week almost a certainty

When did they say they were confident of finding funding sw?

It would surely look odd for the uk govt to block any Chinese investment in the north, especially was it is so closely connected to what a huge Chinese car manufacturing plant requires up there as well.

Hope it happens soon. I didn’t like seeing those huge delayed sells on Friday.

P2 rise… That filmed video of the CEO of Weardale lithium Limited was actually filmed in Earley February 2025 so in fact the valuation that was spoken of should now be much higher, in fact double as the price of lithium carbonate has, as I’ve said, doubled since that time. Not really sure why the share price here is almost half of what it was last February but we can only hope that the company is 8% stake in where they are lithium will be given a more realistic evaluation very soon. Any catalyst will see it spring up very quickly.

Hmm worrying as to where the £26k of delayed sells came from this morning.

News alone will see this move properly

Spot on BIXY

Don't really know anything about these things but one would assume any offer emanating from China is going to have to be really decent in order to gain govt approval..?

Not sure whihc i'd prefer to see...a) a RTO and see Stubben Edge become listed on LSE or b) just a pure and simply buyout of MAC's 8%. Marechale is tiny in the grand scheme of things but that 8% is now looking to be extremely valuable and well worth a large Corporate dipping its hand in its pocket to the tune of £30m in order to secure 10,000 tons of carbonate produced here in the UK and a ready made market with no export costs.

Share price of 24p. Yes, I'll vote in favour of that.

‘ You are very unlikely to see .2 again given where things are at.’

BigCs - nothing has changed since the autumn and yet the sp has seen .2p even in just the last month. Just my opinion but I think we’re highly likely to see that again as there isn’t any news due of commercial note anytime soon. It’s a traders paradise until there is concrete news. If there isn’t any then people know the risks. This is a huge gamble putting and holding money in this so I hope people know what and who they’re dealing with here. Check out the directors and their previous incarnations of this company. You’ll see a pattern and it ain’t pretty! They play the AIM market extremely well and are getting rich on the back of gambling pis money on stupidly high risk tiny mcap companies. If the Company ends up with nothing then they’ve still enjoyed their huge salaries and simply change the name of the company and focus on the next trend to attract a whole wedge of cash from more mug punters. .2p or 2p? Who knows. Just as likely to end up at zero

I don’t think a 10 bagger is out of the question from current mcap of just £3m.

Potential revenue of £150m per annum and 8% of that is £12m. Yep I think a buyout for £30m would be ok by me.

My point potential2rise is that Weardale and Marechale were bandying that valuation about last February when they gained permission from the local council to go ahead and develop the demonstration plant, and since when lithium carbonate prices have increased by about 125%! I think that interview was filmed longer ago than two months back, as I first saw it ages ago. I think the current valuation has to be far more, unless they were being hugely optimistic when they first mentioned £1bn.

Complete buyout for £20m would be a basement bargain but I feel we will not have much choice but to accept as most of the shares here are held by just a handful of stakeholders

Potential2rise - you’re out of date. The £1bn valuation was made a year ago and since when the price of lithium carbonate has more than doubled and is still rising so the potential valuation now one would surmise must be….er, double. At least

Pump now over for the next 10 days or so. So, how low will they let this drop now for the crew I wonder? All the way back down to .2p or just .23p? Wait another day or two then it’s load up time again.
