Talk about volatile. This seems to be a very binary bet now, and the market appears to be see-sawing between the two positions. Only the assay results will reveal the winner so it’s going to be a bumpy (and nerve-wracking ride) until then.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company has continued to manage the construction of the first of two pilot plant systems that will form the basis of its ongoing commercialization efforts by demonstrating the scalability of the system for commercial purposes, by providing actual commercial data to define typical running costs, and by generating commercial interest by processing samples supplied by potential customers to demonstrate the iTDE technology’s capability commercially. The two planned systems include (i) a smaller flexible system utilizing the iTDE Technology that will enable the processing of solutions containing lithium to demonstrate the commercial viability of the system; and (ii) a larger system that will handle the processing of industrial quantities of brines, better demonstrating the scalability and performance of the system when used commercially to extract lithium. This work is being carried out in India under contract.

The smaller system was designed to facilitate work on refinement of the basic iTDE system by enabling changes to sensor types and positions as well as adaptations to its other relevant systems. It is expected this will contribute to improvements in efficiency and assist in the modelling of the process for commercial implementation, enabling changes that will reduce the cost and improve the economics of the process. The inherent flexibility of the design also allows the Company to conduct its research into the extraction of other elements thereby exploring the commercial viability of the extraction of other elements.

The first system is expected to be completed during third quarter of 2025. The Company anticipates first running extraction tests on brine solutions mixed with controlled defined quantities of elements that approximate the naturally occurring brines of potential customers. The Company has already received brine samples from Clontarf Energy plc, a UK AIM listed company with whom the Company concluded an agreement to iTDE Technology in Bolivia through a jointly established commercial venture. The composition of these brines will be the basis for modeling these controlled samples. This initial calibration of the system will be done by making synthetic brines based upon analytical data received from the Bolivian State Lithium Company and should provide a basis for better testing with actual brines. We expect large container sized sample of actual brines to arrive in India around October of 2024 for testing in our pilot plant system.

We have also engaged with another Indian engineering company to test the effectiveness of their nano-filtration system to use in front of our pilot plant system to remove significant amounts of divalent ions, such as magnesium and calcium, without the use of any chemicals. This may make our complete system more economical in challenging remote areas such as our project with Clontarf in Bolivia.

@halfpenny - whats your thinking on that? Unfortunately Brian is like a builder who never quite finishes the job - I think he enjoys the hunt, but not necessarily interesteded in the more complex environment of processing and selling. He appears to be a serial explorer. ChatGPT has summarised his earnings as being near €200k so he's not struggling. I would like to see a decent, experienced, hard-hitting Chief Operating Officer join the team and really push hard to complete projects and close deals , with a modest salary but significant bonuses awaredd on delvery of revenue generating projects.

@chisler - liking the positivity! Sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction so maybe, just maybe, it's going to be a home run all accounts. It needs to be to make up for my 98% loss on this mudderfudder of a company. I had written off investment in this so it will be a bonus if it pays back some of the losses.

@Cando66 - nice try at what? (I think I know the answer which is likely a complete misinterpretation, but I’ll await your response before making further comment…)

It makes life on these boards bearable!

@warrie - well said. And even if a gambler does win, it’s pure chance. But that win reinforces their false sense of invincibility. In truth, they got away with it, but it doesn’t mean they are right.

I think you may need a lot of luck to buy in at 0.5p…. But this is AIM, so expect the unexpected.

If silverfoxchef irritates you to such an extent, just use the filter instead of engaging in playground squabbling.

I for one quite like the fact that the usual “cult leader” suspects get so wound up by the often contrarian views expressed by the Fox. For months, the likes of BFDInvestor and Laverda have attempted unsuccessfully to belittle anyone with a view that challenges their rose-tinted view of Kodal. And what’s happened to the share price over the last few months? Exactly. And still significant questions still need to be answered.

No one can criticise you for that, H2. Money’s got to keep working. And it isn’t working here.

@ColinL1 - on the face of it, well timed. Are you intending to buy back in? If so. At what level?

@bobat12e4 - I'm not sure what people expected. This is not a get rich quick scheme. Author42 is only just in beta . The appointment of the Prof and the deal announcements are the early building blocks. Patience required to see if this really does have what it takes to become a major AI player. There are no guarantees in this game, you've just go to try and stack the cards in your favour, which I think capAI are doing.

Extract: The push for even more official scrutiny on rare earths comes after China placed most exports of the critical materials under heavier supervision as part of its tough stance against President Donald Trump’s trade offensive. The rare earths industry is already highly regulated and state-dominated, although Beijing has also launched a campaign against smuggling in an attempt to control exports. The plan announced on Friday was based on proposals first released in June 2024. It clarifies responsibilities of different bodies — companies, local governments, ministries — in managing output and monitoring any infringements”.

@ivenoidea - I sold Kodal earlier this year having made good profit with a view of getting back in once I was confident again that the bigger picture would play out. I still have concerns, but if I was to reinvest, then perhaps that time is approaching. Luckily I now have extra funds courtesy of WSBN which invested in with some of the Kodal gains. I also took some cash out from KZG to top up my WSBN investment. KZG hasn’t delivered (yet) the highly-anticipated news on their 34x extended mining license, so instead of my money sitting there in the short term not working, the portion I used for WSBN has now grown over 300%. Timing-wise, it’s risky to pull funds to temporarily deploy elsewhere while waiting for transformational news but it seems to have paid off. This time.

And to address the somewhat predictable cries from the usual suspects, I am neither a troll, basher nor ramper. I am never trying to influence price movement, as if that is even possible from an insignificant retail chat room! I just share my thoughts. After all, is this not a platform for debate? If Kodal had continued its price rise after I had sold and I had missed further significant gains, so be it. I have no emotion attached to it. There are always other opportunities, perhaps like WSBN, where there are potentially much bigger % gains on the cards especially in regards to Gold (prices keep rising) and AI (the latest boom is well underway). By the huge and relentless number of daily posts on just one company and over a significant amount of time, it seems that a few people on this board are making the mistake of getting too attached to one particular share. The world and the markets keep turning and changing - keep looking down and you’ll be left behind.

CATL’s Jianxiawo mine in Yichun mines a lower grade “lepidolite” ore, compared to “Spodumene”, but once concentrated they are both chemically converted to lithium carbonate for use in batteries. So, why hasn’t Kodal rallied in-line with the general industry?

It’s a mining explorer on AIM, of course they will raise, it’s to be expected. IMO not yet, and at a much higher price. Anyways, didn’t mean to start a discussion on here about it, Just commenting that my timing for once was right in respect to using KZG as a bank to hold my “high risk” funds until such time as those funds can be deployed elsewhere in the short term before being reinvested back into KZG. I’m always invested in KZG which was my biggest holding (financial value) by a long way but now has WSBN snapping at its heels. Unless KZG release a positive RNS this week, me thinks WSBN will overtake, and perhaps by a considerable margin. We will see.
