Point of order Kat, REMPLOY is a now defunct government initiative to employ disabled people, REMLOY is a German manufacturer of rare earth powders.

Bencasa14, do us all a favour and p155 off. Your posts promoting Lara G. Prescott are all over the lse boards. All your posts I checked are about Laura G. Prescott. Beware, girls and boys.

So, if we produce 100 tpa that's 2 tonnes per week capacity, single shift. At a magnet weight of 2kg per car that will supply 1000 cars per week. JLR produce about 5000 cars per week in UK, so our single shift capacity is 1 day's production per week.

What I would like to see is some offtake agreement with, say, JLR, and some assurance of continued scrap supply to feed the equipment. Then we can start making some income.

From Mkango's website: "The Facility can recover over 400kg of rare earth alloy per batch utilising the HPMS reactor and can produce new sintered magnets from the recycled rare earth alloy at a capacity of 100 tonnes per annum on a single shift, and over 300 tonnes per annum on multiple shifts."

The appointment of 2 Macom management as non exec directors on the IQE board must be seen as a positive move. They should shake our somewhat lethargic management up a bit !

Somehow I managed to post without the nitty gritty of the job, must have hit the wrong key by mistake. The nitty gritty is I assume this is a £50m loan from the Yew Tree consortium whose members are also shareholders as far as I can remember. So in effect it appears to be a loan to AML from the consortium, or the consortium are lending money to themselves with their other hat on. I assume this is necessary to keep the lights on and adds to the AML debt burden. It does make me wonder if there might be some situation where AML could not pay the consortium back and could lead to the consortium, in effect, taking AML over i.e. is this a way to take it private. I am sure there are people out there ready to put me right. I await eagerly the comments, don't be shy in insulting my ignorance, as a silver surfer it will be water off the ducks back !

As nobody else has seen fit to comment I thought I'd have a go. I know that if anything I say is wrong I will be jumped on from a great height, so it's a good way of getting some comments.

Dogsy, he may not have kept 3%, less than 3% can mean 2.999% or zero !

Mr. Griffiths has done a TR1, there was an RNS at 3.34 pm yesterday showing his holding reduced from 5.79% to <3%.

Good work Hogsnipe.

Tbow 65% of uk trades are already done by algobots, been like it for years.

This announcement is transformational for IQE for two reasons:

1. It includes an offtake guarantee for InP wafers now and in the future.

2. The resolution of the dispute on porous silicon patents removes the risk of financial penalties for the claimed infringement of Tower's IP.

If you click on "i" next to the trade you will see it's a delayed publication trade. It went through in normal hours but was not published until later.

Seewhat, can you point me to the trading update RNS last month, I can't find it. Thanks in advance.

Shreeram/gasher the company makes the highest quality wafers and supplies major companies, what it has failed to do so far is make much money from this activity.

From MACOM's website, exerpt from press release;

“IQE is an important supplier to MACOM. We believe this transaction will strengthen our supply chain resilience, while positioning IQE to improve its balance sheet and financial performance across its business,” said Stephen G. Daly, President and Chief Executive Officer, MACOM.

Here's another fact, the SP has gone from +0.5 to -1.5 and now back to -1.0 on almost no trades.

Interesting pattern, nearly 2 million traded by 10am, almost nothing since........

At last, two excellent and informative RNSs, mapping out in some detail how we are going to progress this innovative technology. With government funding and multiple partnerships with component manufacturers, we look set for a good future. Let's hope the share price will start to reflect this progress !
