Agreed BitterBlue, watched it myself and the first presenter from Birch Infrastructure spelling out how VRFB is pivotal for the power requirements in data centres that is hockey sticking in growth now.
Makes Elon Musk's Powerwall effort and the Aussies Lavo H2 battery storage options look like a damp squib.

Thanks Leighton, as good as explanation as I can see. Look forward to seeing what this update has to say for itself tomorrow then.
On the flipside though, it can't be insider trading as this is illegal so it can't happen - LOL!

Unexplained dips, now we have an unexplained rise today? No RNS or other wider market news to suggest why this might be happening. Not that I'm complaining, but I would appreciate any views what causes this degree of change in sentiment here?

Bassguy, you have hit the nail on the head with these posts. I share your frustration with the path to date, but I still think BMN will come really good. The patient investor strategy with this holding.

Alfa, where do I mention the company specifically stating the contract award is imminent? This bulletin board however....
I am indeed hoping it is coming though ;-)

If I had a penny for every time anyone asked if the Eskom contract award to BMN being announced was imminent....

My preference is a straight cash sell of Lemur if all possible.
If Lemur is spun off or demerged there will still presumably be an underlying BMN stake within the new entity which will continue to deter some green fund managers from investing into BMN.
Despite this BMN will be going places in 2021 and beyond.

Agreed Libero, great opportunity coming up with BMN, 2021 will be significantly better than 2020 for sure. Also hoping BMN can dispose of Lemur so we can we can genuinely claim to be a green stock which will enable green fund managers to buy up BMN stock. This will happen once Lemur is off our asset list.

BBC main page today, more exposure on the risk of fires with batteries. It made me wonder how widespread public knowledge is of the fire mitigation you get with a VRFB vs other choices?

You're right Wes, although H2 (and to a lesser extent N2) can also be used as carrier gas options. The commercial lab I work in has a helium cylinder hooked up to the GC and we use it a lot

Also used in university chemistry departments around the globe that have NMR instrumentation. Its used as consumable coolant to lower the operating temperature of the high field electromagnetics which are a requirement of this analytical apparatus.

So I've decided to plunge in with both feet here. Hopefully not one to regret!

I don't know why the drop but I consider the SP is vulnerable to volatility and sporadic drops like this now.
I've decided to cash in my shares today, happy to do so as was fortunate to buy in the ~£6 mark over a year ago so sitting pretty at £14ish today. Good luck to all who continue to hold.

Fe and Cu prices are rising strongly. Given the relationship of V with Fe in steel making this bodes well for vanadium sales for BMN and should help push the SP further up. Welcomed I'm sure by us holders, but better still would a SP rise on the back of VRFB growth and other progress BMN is making.

You got to need your head read if your are shorting this share. The amount of cash this company generates and the divi yield is going to pull this share upwards. Shorters will be burnt.

*that's not immediately obvious*

Whilst the fire issue is a compelling one, I also think the advantages of VRFB with a public forum like radio 2 should be proclaimed. Notably, the round cycle efficiency of power charging/discharging and the levelised cost of power storage at utility scale is further winning attributes of VRFB that's immediately obvious to lay folk.
I reiterate my remarks yesterday. This radio 2 coverage was brilliant - thanks again to DaisyDog. But more pressing we need Bushveld Energy (or VRFB industry body to include IES) doing more to increase the awareness of VRFB tech to key stakeholders, particularly those controlling the pursue strings for public investments which are shortly going to be made following BoJo's statement of the UK becoming the Saudi Arabi of wind.

Agreed Pigpen, an improvement of sorts but the improvement is from an exceedingly low level. To be fair RNS posts aren't really as mainstream PR to entice wider awareness (unless you are a ardent BMN fan like us). I think if we're being honest with ourselves we all know the value proposition for VRFB is compelling (notably vs Li-ion for power storage at utility scale) but widespread public awareness of this is dreadfully poor. I can't see BoJo's announcement today and other public/private initiatives/funding stemming from this (for the UK at least) going into VRFB at a meaningful scale until this awareness changes.

Agree with other posters here today, the word of vanadium and sustainable power storage needs to be put into the publics conscious. Great job Daisydog on today's great piece on radio 2.
Come on Bushveld Energy step up!!!! Its not up to individual private investors to lead on your PR and advocacy surely?

Ian, great job on informing Mr Vine and all his listeners of the benefits of VRFB over lithium power storage. Bravo!
