Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
don’t listen to the noise, check and re check the fundamentals of this company. Tells you all you need to know to safeguard your holding in Bushveld and not be panicked into parting with them. If time is on your side, I believe we will all be very well rewarded. I hold a number of other mining company shares and the bbs are full of comments re devious, greedy CEOs, promises made, promises broken. This is not one of those companies.

Good afternoon. It’s good to see this share recovering but tbh, it’s still hugely lower than when I bought some years ago. So it’s not unreasonable I am containing myself. I hope this really does offer a sighted future for many.

You really do begin to lose the will to live with some of these phone services. I usually end up choosing the option that is about them getting payment or losing my custom. I find that’s answered more quickly!
RS, I appreciate the time you have taken to reply to me. Thank you. I think HL run their own help desk. My issue was that I had not been advised of the potential length of time the bed and isa might take. Was finally told it was in the T&Cs. I said who, apart from lawyers, reads through that stuff? It’s all ‘get out clauses’ and ‘cover your ass’. Staff did apparently call the traders to check on the queue. I think this resulted in my being bumped up the queue. I did wonder out loud if there was discrimination due to gender. This of course was denied. Who knows?
Anyway, thanks RS.

RS, I called them on Friday. Was told best solution was to fill in online form. I did that. Was not told up to 4 day turn around time, had I been advised of this I would have done it myself as I always have in the past. I could have easily transferred £ from current account to isa. Sold in S&S a/c if I needed the £.
It’s the lack of transparency that drives me mad.

I gave a written bed and isa to HL on Saturday. Not processed. Just phoned them, apparently it can take up to four days to process. I am furious, at no time is this time delay made apparent when you send in the proforma. Anyone recommend a better broker to do business with?
A really ****ed off

Unless the system has changed since I retired, new treatments are presented to NICE (basically a medical committee) who look at the evidence, cost and evaluate the effectiveness. If the drug meets approval then it can be used here. Of course, then you get the CCGs who decide the local need and budgets. Think postcode lottery. Way back it would take about 18/12 for approval by NICE, no idea what time it would take now. Just to show process can be so speeded up...it took NICE about 3/12 to approve Viagra!! Anything to do with the age and gender of NICE members? I wonder...
Workers across the world have had the proverbial **** taken out of them since the beginning of time. SA has the dubious pleasure of having fabulous mineral resources together with some of the most greedy politicians imaginable (erm, allegedly). The two are obviously connected. Things are now being remedied, rightly so. There will be historic issues which will take time to correct; worker v mgt distrust; reasonable stakes in work to be negotiated and rewarded. Some of these may be reasons for the delay in news. We can only speculate. However the new appointment of a ceo with a proven track record in comms and worker relations can only be regarded as a huge plus. You got the workforce trust which is worth beyond pearls - or v23...
Still, MMs take advantage and in the short term I don’t care because I have my bed and isa on Monday to consider! Onward and upward all. Enjoy the weekend.

Today’s RNS May have disappointed many but from my perspective I believe it is really positive. All organisations are dependent upon their people in senior roles and I see these appointments to management positions are most welcome. Expertise is everything. The ‘dividend policy’ to be included in annual report is sensible. I am pleased with progress even if there are grumbles about company comms. Such is life.
