Me again....

YTSS, just read back my reply and '(incorrectly linked)' looks like I'm being rude about your linking prowess.

It's because you said you posted the wrong link before :)

I'm a technophobe and found the following wikihow tip helpful. I would add that once you have copied and pasted the link within your post, that you hit the return key. I've noticed that it you don't do that, the link address doesn't turn blue and become 'live'.

Hi Roscon, is this the article you couldn't link to?

'An investor’s guide to understanding vanadium deposits' - Bushveld Minerals, Vametco and the higher grades of vanadium in the Bushveld Complex get a mention.

YTSS, yes this is excellent news. I found the article (incorrectly linked) in your earlier post interesting too, the answer to Eskom's woes is staring them in the face. That article described Eskom's financial challenges and reliance on coal, of which there is a shortage. Eskom has an abundance of solar power just waiting to be harnessed and stored in our VRFBs. Africa's largest natural resource, the sun, can help Eskom overcome this dark period. Over time and with competent incorruptible management, I hope they can turn things around. The VRFB they are testing with BMN and UET is a good start.

pb940, VRFB technology can also be used in micro-grids for areas not connected to the main grid, i.e. remote farms etc. Although the initial emphasis will be on utility industrial size VRFBs, I think we'll be seeing the smaller scale projects in due course.

Indefatigable1 hasn't mentioned whether they are already a BMN investor or thinking of investing? If anyone is considering investment, the current price is a bargain considering our fundamentals and future growth prospects. I'd do more research than just viewing a one month graph and a legacy issue fine (paid early and relevant measures put in place).

Any potential new investors should DYOR, start with:-

U3O8 Corp. President and CEO Dr Richard Spencer talks about the huge opportunity for VRFBs in shipping in video link.

He talks about VRFB demand throughout, and boats/shipping from about 5 mins 40 secs in.

Cheers mogwhy, I did scroll down the whole North West list too.

Should've gone to Specsavers!

The Minister of Mineral Resources, Mr. Gwede Mantashe will on? Wednesday, 12 December 2018, deliver a keynote address at the official launch of the Mapungubwe Institute (MISTRA) Research Report on the “Future of Mining in South Africa: Sunset or Sunrise”.

The publication probes issues such as the role of the State in mineral development, mining in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and how to manage rehabilitation of mines. http://www.dmr.gov.za/news-room/post/1754

Vanadium mining is a sunrise industry for sure.

During his Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) Budget Speech in May 2018, DMR Minister Gwede Mantashe stated that the issuing of mining rights, and the proper processing of applications, for mining licences is now a key priority. "The preliminary investigation by the DMR has found that the backlog on new mineral right applications stretches as far back as 2012 in some regional offices." https://www.miningreview.com/mantashe-sets-out-vision-dmr-doesnt-hold-back/

I had a look at the DMR website, just an observation - Bushveld Minerals/Vametco isn't listed in the Operating Mines section. http://www.dmr.gov.za/mineral-policy-promotion/operating-mines

@993444, nah, don't change BBE to BE on my account.

I've got Beautiful Bushveld Energy stuck in my head now :)

@993444, yes, if circumstances allow, I'll be holding shares for many years. Bushveld Energy is the main reason I invested in BMN.

P.s. Why do you always refer to Bushveld Energy as BBE and not BE?

Does it stand for Beautiful Bushveld Energy....Brilliant Bushveld Energy? :)

Hi Alfa, the link isn't working '500: Internal Server Error' Thanks.

Loudspeaker, thanks so much for your work on this. I found it really helpful, especially the explanation of why V2O5 and FeV is priced differently (always been confused.com on that one).

Alfa, thanks for the linked to articles within on rebar regulations, VRFB development, electrolyte differences etc. I hadn't seen those before.

It's a great introduction to The Bushveld Perspective for newbies to learn how valuable BMN is.

By the way, welcome Sotonian :)

SOTRR, that's put paid to my musing that we might've missed out on the award for best mid cap deal due to the pending fine.

Did you see The Bushveld Perspective's FTSE Russell tweet about BMN's inclusion on the AIM100? :)

We're not on the official FTSE AIM100 website yet. Been checking every morning. Feel like I'm one of those 'Are we there yet?' kids.

Formula E racing cars were on BBC Breakfast today. Apparently there are now more car manufacturers in Formula E than Formula 1. Short battery life is an issue. I pictured them using a VRFB to charge all the cars before a race.

Would it be feasible to transport a VRFB on the E-Prix circuit?

You're a star onefcc. Thanks :)

Cheers guys, I think the demand for V will remain high. We keep hearing of new VRFBs being installed on a regular basis. And, the need for safer buildings/rebar standards across the world is a given, especially in the countries with a risk of earthquakes. I'm convinced we'll be hearing more on vanadium dioxide smart windows in the near future, the recent and forthcoming heatwaves could fast track the need for them.

P.s. Is it possible for someone to post an overview of the Bushy November newsletter (copy & paste highlights)?

I've subscribed but think I've missed the Nov issue :)

Thanks Wolfman_Jack. Am I right in thinking we were expecting the V price to fall back a bit after such a bullish run.
