Long stop date2 May 2019 11:57
It is worth holders having the long stop date of July 31st, fully at the forefront of their minds.
During the run up to the completion of the Vametco acquistion, there was a number of RNS's regarding financing and terms which helped show the market the deal was almost over the line. The share price started moving up in advance of this date, but as many know, it wasn't immediately after the deal was announced. The Vanchem situation is different due to the financial strength of Bushveld and the maturity of the business and the types of financing involved however it is worth noting that there may be more of a gradual adjustment upwards than our last jaunt to 50p. This is something tp be pleased about, as it may mean it is less fragile. But, the point being is that immediate fireworks to move us to yearly highs is both unlikely and should be unwanted by most who have a serious long term aspiration for reaching new highs.
There is a line in the sand where we should have expected some serious accretion in our share price and that is July. It will be compounded by full year results and potentially will be close to our JSE listing, should it happen when currently planned.
Obviously the Mokopane license should land at some point within the next 3-6 months to hit the 12 month timeline suggested by FM for it to be active in at least some regard. There is a chance all of these things will be in quick succession and will set us up for a very positive summer, but don't be perturbed if it is a case of building slowly, not immediately. In reality that is just what we need both to add some solid foundations at new highs and also to shift those who we have seen have a desire to sell. .
As Ken has shown there is plenty to expect in the interim, not least Brits and Vametco resource news and Q1, but they should be seen as helping keep up steady momentum not massively catclytic in themselves, in my opinion.
I'd be putting a very big red circle aroud July 31st on the calendar.
