That’s all we needed to know. Now can you explain why you have been unrelentingly negative on the company? That’s very odd behaviour for someone who claims to be a shareholder don’t you think? Also why does your level of english change throughout the day, almost as if different people are using the account?

Buttermilk when you say "we are printing $$$" do you include yourself as a shareholder? I only ask because you have been unrelentingly negative on Jubilee ever since you showed up here.

Drilling may have already started in Botswana, or should start soon if not.

Coming to the end of the tax year so we might see people buying next week to take advantage of ISA allowance.

Both things which might clear out the shorters and (hopefully) drive up the price.

For anyone interested, here's a Johnson Matthey webinar from last week on the fundamentals of PGM's

That shareholder list is still showing last update on 23rd January as far as I can see.

Yes Jupiter disappeared from the Significant shareholders list between September and mid December last year, I usually take a screenshot whenever they update the list to keep an eye on what they are up to. Some of the other ones have adjusted their holdings up and down over the lat year so it's not necessarily Jupiter but it could be.

South African chrome ore 40-42% concentrate price is US$303-310 (bulk). Slightly up from last weeks US$303-308.

Apart from a brief period in 2017 when chrome ore price shot up to US$400 / tonne, we are definitely at the top of the price range right now. Let’s hope it remains there for a while yet, until copper finds its feet!

You would assume they might also have a drilling rig or two... I wonder how much they can drill before the market opens again. 🤔

Further updates to follow both Botswana🇧🇼 & Zambia🇿🇲

Sounds like we might be due a Zambian drilling plan after the Easter break, not before time!

In the recent podcast, at about 19 minutes in, Leon said they expect to have the first of the two additional modules operational in about two and a half months:

So presumably that's the module that he states as being commissioned by August. He also says there's a module due to commence construction in August, presumably this is the second one.

Leon definitely needs a proof reader, there's always something which confuses shareholders!

For any new readers, Buttermilk is the resident negative poster. You will notice that his english language abilities fluctuate throughout the day as different people come on shift!

Mikie I would agree that we are likely to see further modules assuming all goes to plan with the first batch, it does say in the RNS: "The Waste Rock Project aims to implement an INITIAL 4 Copper processing modular plants..."

For any new investors / potential investors, this recent podcast with Leon and Charles Archer is worth a listen:

I was wondering about that myself Northern, although I would have thought if they did negotiate a better agreement they would have been keen to mention it in the RNS.

Leon said in the podcast that they were about two and a half months away from the first of the additional chrome modules being fully operational, although the RNS says commissioning by August, so I guess somewhere between June and August. Hopefully August is a conservative number.

IRH JV now confirmed, Roan on schedule… a nice Easter bonus 😁

Edzi, we will have to disagree about Kalan, and I'm far from the only one who has repeatedly pulled him up for distorting the facts. He was doing exactly the same thing when I first started reading these message boards and nothing has changed as far as I'm concerned.

To be fair, nobody cares about when Kalan buys and sells, that's his business. What winds people up is the very obvious attempts to manipulate sentiment.

It’s difficult to know how the cobalt market will play out in the future but every article I’ve read suggests that cobalt demand will be multiples of what it is today just by sheer numbers of EV’s on the road, even if there are competing battery chemistries out there and even non-EV options like hydrogen.

The west certainly seems bullish on cobalt though, looking to create processing options outside of China, where most battery grade cobalt sulphide is produced. ERG recently announced a plan to build a cobalt sulphide plant in Saudi Arabia and there has also been talk of one in Chingola, Zambia. Just down the road from Mopani and Chambishi Metals.

We know that Zambia and DRC have ambitious plans to start manufacturing EV batteries in country and will need battery grade cobalt sulphide for that, produced from cobalt hydroxide such as Jubilee can make. The USA is backing this project and also the Lobito Corridor rail project which will allow direct transport from Zambia to the Angolan coast and onwards to the West. I definitely think there’s a big picture playing out which Jubilee can play a part in.

I think there is a more clear plan emerging now. Leon reacted early to the PGM basket price falling and saw the opportunity to build on the well established chrome processing abilities and rapidly expand into higher margin opportunities. This is starting to come through in the numbers now but will only get stronger assuming the chrome price remains strong. After the next two modules this year, we should, by my estimates be earning in the order of US$45-50 million from chrome alone. It sounds like they are not finished there either, Leon mentioned that further expansion is likely, although he didn’t specify where that will be.

PGM’s remain profitable and will every chrome module added we increase the PGM ounces too. Any increase in the PGM basket will reflect in the bottom line. Rhodium seems to be getting a second wind today I notice.

Cobalt has been proven and high grade product sold into the market. This is definitely one for the future, as the market comes more into balance again.

Copper is the last piece in the jigsaw, if they can prove to investors that these modules will do what they they they can, then we are off to the races. Copper expansion can follow a similar trajectory to chrome and in the longer term can easily outpace chrome. With copper price starting to strengthen again, there is no better time than now to be ramping up.

For those who have an interest in understanding why Anglo American agreed to such a standout JV

This map shows the footprint of the hydrothermal fluids in yellow, these are rocks which have been altered by the mineral rich brines passing through them and also areas of potential copper deposition. The pink areas are showing copper-scandium anomalies, this is showing where the hydrothermally leached copper has actually been deposited at surface. The blue areas are electromagnetic anomalies.

If you can look at this and understand it (some less academically inclined people here refer to it as a pretty picture!) then maybe you have a better understanding of why Anglo American is so interested in these licenses. Have a look around at other companies for similar results… you won’t find them. Make no mistake the opportunity here has the potential to be big.

Obviously I count takenorisk as one of the uneducated ones. Although I think it's a bit presumptuous to assume that every other investor is as ignorant as he is.
