Taverham, thanks again for courtesy of reply, I am in now with the rest of you for the ride. I am an investor not a gambler/trader so for me it is a hold for a couple of years at least or until taken out. GL All
Teverham, thanks for reply, I couldn't resist and bought a little chunk as a punt, for me anyway, with a view to doing more research and buy more bit later.
Final question before I do my own research lol Are there any other companies out there developing similar test that we know about?

Love a good story and outcome on AIL, congrats all holders.
Genuine question as I ponder whether to buy in, almost tempted now with this slight dip lol..........yes skim read RNS and must do more, but want pick brains of longer and more knowledgeable holders please..... question is what time scale would you think for this to market properly and income comes in? Yes, I realise a buy out could come first and this is attractive as well.

Turkey has not joined western sanctions on Russia and has retained close diplomatic and economic ties with Moscow since Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia is a pivotal trade partner for Turkey, which needs to import large amounts of energy to fuel its $900bn economy.
Turkey’s energy and natural resources ministry and Haldivor Energy did not respond to requests for comment. Glencore has no other prewar supply contracts in place, according to people familiar with the matter.
Large western trading houses such as Glencore, Trafigura and Mercuria are having to tread carefully between western sanctions in support of Ukraine and European policymakers’ desire to mitigate the harm inflicted on their economies by limiting access to Russian raw materials.
European officials have said that trade with Russia through third countries such as Turkey, China and the UAE is hampering the effectiveness of western sanctions.
“Imports and exports via third countries is the problem the EU is having with sanctions implementation,” said an Italian government official.
Imports of Russian copper by Turkey have nearly tripled to 159,000 tonnes in the first seven months of 2023 compared with the same period a year earlier, according to Trade Data Monitor. This accounts for a third of the country’s imports of the red metal.
CRU Group, a research firm, estimates that overall Turkish imports of copper cathode and wire rod at 330,000 tonnes were 125,000 tonnes higher year on year in the first six months of 2023, which it says is “far in excess of domestic requirements”.
Italy has become Turkey’s largest export destination for copper, growing 3 per cent in this year, compared with steep falls for Germany, and the UK. This points to Italy becoming an integral part of the trade route for Russian copper, said experts.
Glencore continues to trade Russian aluminium under a multiyear supply deal with producer Rusal, a contract that chief executive Gary Nagle expects to expire by the end of next year, depending on the volumes traded.

Oh wolfie stop squeaking, you been sussed out on here long time ago by many just face it matey xx
Fr Jack Hackett, firstly congrats, never has a person been more aptly named!
As you apparently want everything so simple for yourself then perhaps you could have simply answered the question as to IF you are invested?
As you refer me, and others to look back through your posts (eh no thanks not that bored!) perhaps you could look back through all other posts for your answers as they have been said many, many times?
Lastly you are simply from the Wolfie class of poster....passive aggressive style, sidle up to other negheads knobs when it suits, try to antagonise with pretty puerile questions and cause arguments, then go slide off again. Rinse and Repeat.....Whiskey! Whiskey yer fecker loooool
Fr. Jack, sory should have address the below first which you addressed to me the other day.......
"Mr OfficeCat, I don't acknowledge the term "genuine holders", my simplicity allows either people are shareholders or are non-shareholders."
"genuine holders", you may not acknowledge the term, your choice.......however most "genuine holders" on here know exactly what it means and use it for a reason.............
So now you don't accept the term long term holder"? are you the word Police?
So with your own "simplicity" are you a shareholder or non-shareholder?
Fr. Jack, I personally fail to see why stretch should answer either tbh............. I think most of us are happy with the term lth and what it means?
Perhaps you would like to answer why you pop on here occasionally with a negative, argumentative slant? Oh and perhaps tells us when you bought in, or are you even invested? I would think not!
DATTABASE1, good morning, imo you may/likely never get to see DFS/JORC update as Sale events will imo overtake any release. I have said before, and still think so, that the information is commercially sensitive, more so to a buyer? Pretty easy for the BOD/buyer to "slow play" this imo. If that is the way they are paying it fine by me. I am already pretty dam sure the JORC would be great, will it make any difference to what is undoubtedly going on behind the scenes Re Assets Sale, unlikely imo those doing DD will have access to the info contained without any doubt. I don't think there is any need for the BOD to RNS something along the lines of..........sorry not releasing info now due to NDA's. We already know multiple NDA's are in place for the several parties carrying out DD. Oh, and the one party that has already completed DD. One day the RNS will simply be the BOD saying this is the offer we are recommending the shareholders to take and vote will be.......by year end I hope/expect. Waiting is difficult but when you know the whole aim of the BOD is set on an Asset Sale it is a bit easier, well for me anyway. GL
The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) forecasts a record 1-million-oz. platinum deficit for 2023, both in absolute ounces and as a percentage of annual demand, amid a surge in automotive and industrial demand and stagnant supply.
In its Platinum Quarterly report released this week, the WPIC highlights a booming demand for the metal, slated to rocket by 27%, hitting 8.23 million ounces. This overshadows a barely changing supply forecast, stagnating at 7.22 million oz., just 31,000 oz. above last year’s figures.
“These statistics spotlight a market under intense pressure, with potential ramifications for investors and industries dependent on this precious metal,” WPIC research director Ed Sterck tells The Northern Miner in an interview (see attached video below

The recovering automotive sector drives this demand upswing, with Sterck’s data projecting a 13% (or 381,000 oz.) increase in 2023. Ramped-up vehicle production rates underpin this surge, with forecasts indicating a 6% and 7% growth for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle production, respectively.
Sterck highlighted the ongoing platinum for palladium substitution in gasoline vehicles, an adjustment dictated mainly by the existing price differential between the two materials. On the industrial front, significant capacity additions in the chemical and glass sectors are influencing the demand surge.
The Chinese government has been implementing stricter emission standards from July 1, further bolstering platinum demand as industries integrate more platinum group metal (PGM) coated particulate filter systems. This trend is set to elevate the global platinum automotive demand to an anticipated 3.28 million ounces.
Simultaneously, the industrial sector is smashing records, with predictions setting the demand at 2.67 million oz., a notable 14% year-on-year increase. This rise mainly stems from substantial capacity expansions in the glass and chemical sectors, seeing growth rates of 50% (251,000 oz.) and 12% (82,000 oz.), respectively. In contrast, the electrical and petroleum segments anticipate a dip in demand, slated to fall by 8% (9,000 oz.) and 11% (22,000 oz.).
Investment circles also embrace the platinum trend, with predictions setting the net investment demand at 386,000 oz. for 2023. Platinum ETF holdings experienced a significant surge, growing by 155,000 oz. in the June quarter, marking the most substantial quarterly increase since the third quarter of 2020.
Stagnant supply
However, the supply side fails to mirror this burgeoning demand, notes Sterck.
Refined mine production of platinum has plummeted by 4% or 65,000 oz. over last year, settling at 1.46 million oz. in Q2. South Africa, which contributes 75% of global supply, saw a 9% dip in output year-on-year, a decrease linked to ongoing maintenance activities and relentless power disruptions due to the
