Incredible volume though. I wonder what drove that?

Profit taking on gold saw weakness in gold stocks, it's that simple. Oh, and it's Friday

Spread tight as duck's backside

A takeover is imho a fait accompli

Battle of the billionaires looms as Mike Ashley’s rival gains ground at Asos

Bamps does display an incredible and intimate knowledge of his subject. We would have to pay for that information if we subscribed to a professional broker or research analyst. I for one am grateful to this lad, assuming he is a lad

Ashtead fell to sub 2p in 2003 and roared back to around £67 so turnarounds for the right companies can be profound but SEE now need to show robust commerciality and wider market acceptance or else they'll get taken over

Love the sarcasm. your frustration is justified.

he needs to pull a proverbial rabbit out of the hat cos nothing else will suffice. no more bull-toss from Paul

Opened up 17%

ASC will be delisted this year, after the takeover. Sitting duck

Strategic partnering continued on the offtake front with Pensana signing a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with major Japanese trading group Hanwa. Key terms included an Offtake for up to 20,000tpa of ultra-clean Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate from the Longonjo mine over 5 years. Additionally, both parties agreed to co-operate on global marketing and distribution and on developing a strategic and sustainable supply chain for magnet metal materials.

Hanwa is also investigating a deeper co-operation with Pensana, including an investment in both upstream and downstream projects with the aim to deliver low embedded carbon magnet metal materials to Hanwa’s customers and future partners.

Hanwa is also currently considering providing financial support and to jointly study support opportunities from Japanese governmental and financial institutions for the various Pensana projects, including potential Coola expansion, the separation facilities and metallisation project, thereby ensuring that high quality magnet metal products with leading ESG benefits are available to Hanwa’s Global customers in the long-term.

With the increased focus on the Lobito Corridor as a supply and processing chain for critical minerals to the West, Pensana’s ongoing engagement with the US International Development Finance Corporation was rewarded with a US$3.4million Technical Assistance Grant.

The grant will fund studies into the proposed US$100 million expansion of the Longonjo operations (Stage 2), doubling the capacity to 40,000 tonnes per year of MREC containing 4200 tonnes of NdPr.

The grant will also fund studies into development of the recently discovered Coola deposits and the potential for downstream processing in Angola in due course.

Further offtake and co-operation agreement signed with a major Japanese partner, Hanwa Co. Ltd.

Could've been worse

16.2m at 11p. Potentially, this print could be multiple orders worked from the beginning of the week or one major trade worked from Monday or Tuesday by a broker and then reported after close today. Only the inside market would know

I agree. It lifts the spirits. I loathe the idea of small investors losing money. Always have faith and remember there's always an opportunity in the stock-market to make money but never lose your capital. Capital is oxygen

Looks like a worked trade. It's impossible to know if it's a buy or a sale of stock. Indeed the market (broker or MMs) is given days to fill a trade and days to report its execution according to LSE disclosure rules
