I've been having "exchanges" with several peoiple in call centers in Egypt. They or what they are being asked to do is horrendous, nothing short of the worst experiance I have had in a any customer experience ever. Your complaint or conversation is put on hold for 2 minutes,10 minutes later you are then put through to someone who doesn't have a clue what you are talking about , you then have to go through all the information and security checks again. it truly is a crime, Vodafone can f**k off. Ofcom can deal with this from now on. No emails allowed to be sent to you and no replys to anyone in customer service.

SNOWCLUE is off again talking nonesense about his way of investing he's been banging on about game changing news since Jan and here he is saying I know 1 , 3 & 6 mths ahead.
Minimal research on LSE trader board will disprove this.
#PREM SCAM IMHO Thumbs up
He's hilarious hahaha"

Is he right ? Are you a paid scammer ?
Is the same as the Licence I am waiting so eagerly for ?
Obelisk,
Hang on a sec you just stated it won't reach 52p without news. It just has without news.
Just admit you are wrong.
It's not hard
I've got a few shares with VOD but thinking of selling out as the company is one of the owrst I have ever come across with it's Customer Service this reflects the companies structure and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I've recently purchased a MIFI dongle but was convinced by VOD that 30gb a month was good enough for just surfing the net. I needed to get this changed and tried contacting Customer service to complain and change in early Sept. Every time I call I'm passed from one department to another and then to a Resolution manage he promises me that all will be sorted and a new sim sent. This doesn't happen .I then contact them again only to be told there is an OUTAGE and customer details can't be reached.This has happended 3 times now. The last OUTAGE is this morning.
Anyone else heard of a similar problem.
WOW guys
Obelix and Stuart when and what price did you buy in at ? What was the catlyst for buying then ?
Feel your pain NOVACYT have done that to me in a similar way.
I can't work out how much that cost you.
But already in profit I see

My thoughts on the comparison were similar market caps, large initial potential claims and findings.

US would love this in its own backyard.
Also its upto 1200 meters depth not thousands of meters deep.
Plus the extraction is being environmentally with a lesser impact. Water is recycled.
Not sure if Prem is that environmentally friendly a big factor for investors.
The current 43-101 resource from the PEA report for borehole mineable portion of the resource is 3,407 million tonnes grading 1,013 ppm Li or 18,372 million kilograms of lithium carbonate equivalent. (though this is a resource, not a reserve, and has not yet proven economic viability). The gravity low within the valley is 20 km (12 miles) long, and the current estimates of depth to basement rocks range from 600 to 1,200 meters (2,000 to 4,000 feet). The current claim block covers an area of 74 km2 (28.6 mi2) with potential for brine systems and further sediment resources.

Borehole mining would eliminate the need for an open pit and reduce tailings because they are injected back into the drill holes. The environmental disturbance footprint is greatly reduced which is a big positive for the project. The Project also has the potential for incorporating solar power into its development due to its location in sunny Nevada.
Metallurgical testing conducted by Hazen Research Inc. of Golden, Colorado was used to design a mineral processing flowsheet. The mined slurry reports to the mill by pipeline where it is subjected to size separation. Using a cut size of 45 microns (µm), the coarse fraction contained approximately 90% of the calcite and less than 2% of the lithium, with a mass rejection of approximately 25%. The resulting fine fraction is calcined in a rotary kiln with the addition of Sodium Sulfate. The calcine is subjected to a hot water leach to extract the lithium into solution. Lithium extraction of up to 80% have been achieved to date.
The leach solution is subjected to conventional impurity removal using neutralization and precipitation. The majority of the sodium sulfate (as Glauber's Salt) is recovered and recycled to the calcination stage. Additionally, a significant portion of the process water is recovered and recycled. Final lithium carbonate production is achieved through soda ash precipitation and bicarbonate purification. The target is to produce a 99.5% purity lithium carbonate product. The anticipated overall lithium recovery is 75% as final marketable product. Although, additional testing may result in minor changes to the flowsheet, Iconic believes this process will be employed at Bonnie Claire.
Included in GRE's conclusions are the following:
"The Project economics shown in the PEA are favorable, providing positive NPV values at varying lithium carbonate prices, capital costs, and operating costs."
"The Project has the potential to be a major supplier of lithium products in the world, and additional work is warranted."
Although significant additional testing and fine tuning is needed this very large lithium resource is beginning to show its real potential. The technical report is anticipated to be filed and available shortly on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
It should be noted that the above results were derived using mineral resources and not "mineral reserves". A prefeasibility study or feasibility study is required to state Mineral Reserves. Iconic is diligently working toward an initial feasibility study.
Bonnie Claire Property
The Bonnie Claire Property is located within Sarcobatus Valley, which is approximately 30 km (19 miles) long and 20 km (12 miles) wide. Quartz-rich volcanic tuffs containing anomalous amounts of lithium occur within and adjacent to the valley. Drill results from the salt flat have included lithium values as high as 2550 ppm Li and a 1560 foot (roughly 475 meter) vertical intercept that averaged 1153 ppm Li. The current 43-101 re

I have been looking at other companies obtaining drilling results.
How does a company like ICONIC MINERALS compare.
conic Releases Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment Report on Bonnie Claire Indicating
Minimal Environmental Surface Disturbance
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 13, 2021) - Iconic Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: ICM) (OTC Pink: BVTEF) (FSE: YQGB) (the "Company" or "Iconic") is pleased to announce it has released Preliminary Economic Assessment report ("PEA") for the Bonnie Claire project (the "Property") located 48 km (30 miles) north of Beatty, Nevada. The report was done by Global Resource Engineering Ltd. ("GRE") of Denver, Colorado. Using the updated NI 43-101 resource report released September 1 by the Company GRE determined what portion of the resource is defined as borehole mineable. This resource, as reported in the PEA is as follows:
Bonnie Claire Statement of Mineral Resource
Class Extraction Method
Applied for Constraint Mass
(Million Tonnes) Li Grade (ppm) Li
(Million kg) Li Carbonate Equivalent
(Million kg)
Inferred Borehole 3,407.3 1,013.0 3,451.5 18,372.3
Cutoff grade of 700 ppm Li
The effective date of the Mineral Resource is August 20, 2021.
The Qualified Person for the estimate is Terre Lane of GRE.
Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Numbers in the table have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and may not sum due to rounding.
Assumes 68% recovery by borehole
The economic model used in the PEA only covers the first 40 years of production. GRE has the following conclusions from the modelling.
Average annual production of 32.3 million kg (32,300 tonnes) of LCE
Cash operating cost of $5,974/tonne LCE
All-in sustaining cost of $6,057/tonne LCE
A $1.5 billion after-tax Net Present Value (NPV) at an 8% discount rate
A 23.8% after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
Payback period of 6.7 years
Break-even price (0% IRR) of $6,545/tonne LCE
GRE found positive economics using borehole mining and recovery of lithium carbonate after thermal treatment and hot water leaching. GRE stated the following:
"The Project economics shown in the PEA are favorable and robust, providing positive NPV values at varying lithium carbonate prices, capital costs, and operating costs."
GRE determined that even though the project is only partially drilled out the current resource will only be 27% mined in the first 40 years of production. The borehole mining method being used starts by drilling a hole to the bottom of the mineralized zone which consists of soft clay. High-pressure water is pumped through drill holes into the formation while simultaneously pumping the resulting loosened material out. This material would be transported to the mill as slurry. The resulting large cavity would be filled with tailings from the mill. The process would continue up the drill hole until the top of the

Do you actually know this
"the chinese i think i recall have already been in touch , lots of companies are trying to get prem attention."
or are you presuming ?
HL says 38.50p and 27.50%.

Please determine what you mean by "very well today" ?
For me it's a drop and no news -1.23%
Broxton.
It's all a fantastic dream.
Please don't wake me up It's to good.
I Definetely am. As we have been led as much crap as anything I have ever known. Repeated "best test ever" "tomorrow is the day" "RNS this,RNS that it's quite extraordinary. i believe in what should be happening but it's now mid September and we're in the same situation as we were a year ago with nothing actual positive to report.
I'm holding as I'm well down. Colin doesn't do anything to convince me he really knows what is happening and Walbrook do didly squat but get paid a fortune.
There had better be positive and continuing positivity pretty soon otherwise hoardes of shareholders will sell at a small profit which isn't where the SP is now.
and your factual information comes from ????
All good if true but there are only rumours at the moment. Quite easily manufacturerd . For whatever purpose.
Excited but will have to wait for proper news.
Well there was a couple of late buys, bang on the nose at 16.29.
Let's hope this buyer knows something positive
