For our sanity please either stop messing aroumd with your ridiculous style of writing, or if you genuinely have dyslexia please use some dictation software. If you speak in the manner in which you type, which I seriously doubt, then you've got a far more serious problem than dyslexia...

However much k would like the license to land before Xmas, the fact it is Xmas and I have friends in the public sector in SA, I know things are slowing down for the holiday season, so I don’t think the license will be granted until mid-Jan . On that basis, and the fact we may get some news re further payments from Xinjian or a new arrangement , I am going for 1.95p at close of trading on Xmas Eve…

Despite my best efforts to rejig my portfolio, unfortunately it won’t be me crossing the threshold for a TR1!

This feels like a pressure cooker about to blow its top 🚀

So here’s to Lady Luck waving her magic wand over KZG and IRON.

And mine’s a glass of bubbly! 🥂🍾!

And then there’s IRONVELD 🥴! (Got to love the AMERISUR legacy). Along with the excellent resource, IRON appears now to have a good Board (especially with Dr John Wardle as Executive Chairman) and experienced key operational personnel, so I still have some hope and watching closely with a view to averaging down on further positive news, and if I feel brave enough. We have seen how things can turn round as happened here where I was once 85% down and now breaking even.

I think so, and have just rejigged my portfolio and added (for the last time) another 630k shares to my holding.

@funkybeats - Im not all in, but as you say, unless you take some risk, then you wont get the big rewards.

I think I’ll join you…

There is no mistaking the unrecognised value here, and no, in my opinion, you are not being overly optimistic if KZG can fully exploit the Perdevlei opportunity. My investment decision certainly didn’t factor in such a large addition to KZG assets as Perdevlei does, and you just can’t escape the “34x bigger”.

And I’m humbled to be singled out to give an opinion but I am just a LTH who has been investing and trading for many years. There are similar investors also here on this board, and I absolutely value their opinions.

I am now kicking myself for not averaging down further a couple of months ago when I was deliberating whether or not to do so, but discipline is also key to successful investing. This is already my largest holding (low 7 figures too). However tempting it is to go “all in” you have to remind yourself “what if the unexpected happens?”and you lose the lot. But I may transfer a wee bit more into my SIPP to add on any dips early next week….

I would like a non-Chinese buyout based on what has happened here and what we have seen happen with Kodal over the last few months, And the West needs to start protecting its supply chain of raw materials. I think a buyout is possible, and will likely be sought out by KZG at some point as they are after all an investment company and will want their exit strategy.

I had to put my shades on to watch that interview. I think they may have discovered some radioactive minerals by the bright glare coming from Brian’s teeth. Either that or the funds have gone on a “Hollywood Smile”.

That aside, a disappointing interview. He clearly describes a mini explorer doing things on the hoof, and even though as a shareholder he too is frustrated at the delays, I assume he is drawing a salary all the while.

Happy Xmas, one and all!

Superb news. Congratulations everyone at KZG, and well done to all the very patient LTHs.

Could this week be the long awaited moment when I’m finally back in the blue? I think so….

Possible buy reason 4 rise

YLB SIGNS AGREEMENTS WITH COMPANIES FROM AUSTRALIA, FRANCE AND ARGENTINA TO TEST LITHIUM PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN ORURO AND POTOSÍ

YLB SIGNS AGREEMENTS WITH COMPANIES FROM AUSTRALIA, FRANCE AND ARGENTINA TO TEST LITHIUM PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN ORURO AND POTOSÍ

The state-owned Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB) signed agreements with the companies EAU Lithium Pty Ltd (Australia), Tecpetrol S.A. (Argentina) and Geolith Actaris (France) to test their technologies in the use of evaporite resources in the Coipasa (Oruro), Empexa and Pastos Grandes (Potosí) salt flats.

“The companies that today sign agreements with our company YLB are making the dream of many people from Oruro possible. From now on, Oruro lithium will be explored with advanced technologies, and we are sure that we will achieve success,” said President Luis Arce, during his speech at the signing ceremony of the aforementioned agreements.

Within three months, a period in which these companies must test their technologies, we will begin negotiations to sign an exploitation contract,” said the Head of State, pointing out that the National Government's strategy consists of attracting the best technology that adapts to the salt flats and allows the highest quality and quantity of lithium to be produced.

In turn, the Minister of Hydrocarbons and Energy, Alejandro Gallardo, explained that, once the tests based on the defined parameters are carried out, “we will take the next step, which is the negotiation of a contract based on respect for our economic model, our sovereignty, our Mother Earth and sustainability, always seeking the benefit of Bolivians.”

"We have technologies from different parts of the world, from different countries, that will allow us to carry out an exhaustive analysis of the technical and environmental aspects, always with the aim of guaranteeing sustainability," added the Minister.

In this regard, the president of YLB, Omar Alarcón, said that in the first phase, as established by the agreements, efficient and environmentally friendly technologies will be tested in the Coipasa salt flats, in Oruro, and Pastos Grandes and Empexa, in Potosí.

These tests will last between 90 and 120 calendar days, and, if they conclude with a positive validation, "YLB will begin a process of negotiating contracts to implement industrial-scale plants, which will allow increasing production and generating greater income for our communities, regions, departments and for all Bolivians," he added.

In January 2024, the Government launched a second international call to select companies with technologies adapted to the characteristics of the brines of various salt flats. This process culminated with the technical evaluation of proposals in June 2024, and is now consolidated with the signing of agreements that will initiate advanced technological testing.

With 23 million metric tons of lithium confirmed, Bolivia is

@thingmay

What chunky sells? Largest trade since 26th November has been 22m at £6,400.

Not sure that is an indication that larger investor such as Warner with over £500k worth are selling.

A drop of 16% on less than £15k of trades. Not exactly an exodus to warrant such a drop.

@max19

I sincerely hope it’s option 1. Volume has been low so if there are some big buy orders sitting in the background due to the imminent news flow this could be a hunt for weak holders. Fingers crossed, heh?

@sansavatar

Go easy on @steven49, he is our resident dyslexic doomsayer.

@steven49

What would be the reason for the raise? DE has clearly said that the company will be cash generating and that off take partners are considering funding expansion plans. Please enlighten us with your insight.

@gttmufo

Steady on, old chap.

Little tip for you, especially as you are apparently computer savvy:

Try putting a quote from a previous RNS in quote/speech marks, or make reference to the quote it’s taken from. For example you could say “as per the RNS on 28th November” .

You’ll see from your earlier post that the paragraph includes text from the RNS followed immediately by your comments, without any attempt at differentiating whether it’s a quote or GTTMUFO speak.

With that, and your rather varied level of dyslexia, you can’t blame us mere mortals for having missed that.
