CRU commodities consultant told a conference in Australia last week , that unless a truly disruptive supply to the market emerged, nickel sulphate would have to rise to $24,000/t for electric battery demand to be met.

Tsingchan will be a bit stuffed then!

Nickel is slightly up!

Should have said plural, these mines will be built, the share price will be singularly higher.

We have news to come of figures on the second kiln to increase production, plus permit to allow construction. Once the construction permit is through, we could wake up any morning to an offer having been made, included in the offer that nice mine that has cobalt in it, but no real value attached to it yet. So an early bird may come along....
This mine will be built by those in charge now, or another, Trump will have settled his trading spat with China and the value in my diesel car will have hit rock bottom. This share price will have gone the other way.

This is the second recent buy, for this director.

Yes timescales .... I bought in May believing the FS was just weeks away. We need your input as well Steven, we should not be the happy clappy share fan club.
Perhaps Jeremy bought because I threatened a Go Fund Me page!

The day Steven is vaguely happy, we may be minted. I think most share buys by those in charge unless millions, are just a coded message to the city and us, that all is well with the company. I think if those in charge just bought shares to give themselves an easy ride as the company went down the pan, they would have a serious black mark against them in any future venture.
I invested in a firm where the great leader had millions of shares, he managed to get them out though as the company hit trouble. There was an article about him starting his next company thankfully not in this country, the comment below were quite pithy, he had not gone down with his ship.
So study the past history of those in charge, study how they cope in a crisis. Do they look calm,when they do an interview on the day the shares are tumbling, do they have investor calls for ordinary investors in the midst of it, do they answer your email when you are just a private investor. Doing your research on those running the show is as important as doing the research on what they are running, because when the brown stuff hits the blades, their wrong decisions will cost you.
I am content here, though my holding is rather submerged. Lombard and the present price of nickel have done us no favours,

It is a gesture he has not partaken of since about 2014, so I am not complaining. A lot of Aim companies do not even last that long. We look ahead to Pea's and Permits, very tasty.

Well done Jeremy, both sides of the pond as well!

Yes, I think at times some companies forget that small investors and their sentiment does matter to the future of the company.

I agree Martina would be nice if more found their wallets, but in a funny way I am most heartened when someone on the financial side buys, as in today. He should have his finger on the beating or bleeding heart of this company. If he had little faith in the future, he would not be putting his own money in, he would be distancing himself and looking for his next job opportunity,

This company is in good financial hands with Simon around, has a long successful future ahead, even my Aunty Joan is pleased!

That is well spotted and interesting. They probably understand and value miners better, being more of a pioneering nation. The Teck connection must help, I see the Teck director on our board has been with Teck since the 1980's so a Teck man thru and thru. This orphan lamb will find a nice home with one of the miners I reckon, probably even a nice price.

Fireman Sam said yesterday that a new market maker was pushing the price down. New buyer accumulating or lowering the price for a cheeky bid on the lot? I think even those of us who bought at the dizzy heights of over 4p would be fine. The remaining institutional shareholders don't want to be fleeced.

Someone bought a million at 4.16 yesterday, Tibbles the office cat?

Nickel is up! Thought I would get that it before Steven! These non execs seem decent types, one bought in August as well.

Seems churlish not to stick around, just wish I had spare cash to buy at this price.

Always thought it would, question when, how much? My thoughts, after permit to build as regards time, as regards price, Teck as another miner with a larger shareholding, will need placating. Permit to build a month or so away?

That was my headless chicken post.
