Now now Wressy, you know it's against the rules to promote another share on a different board, and I've looked back thru your history and can't find any previous BMN posts so I'm sorry matey, I believe you have no Bushy shares and you're simply here to pump the other share so...
Reported!
Wolster - Vox markets. It's a free app that you can drop onto your phone and/or your tablet/laptop/desktop etc which sends out immediate push notification of RNS for any Cos you're following on the app.
Free but priceless!

More business coming our way?
So you think that your 1st post on this board is a 'slight negative'?
"seems a lot of ramping over he last few months an yet the share price keeps falling ??
Hope it’s not a load of desperate SH caught up in a declining Share."
And then you pretend you're all surprised when people think you're a troll... Sorry but we've seen too many such as you come and go, and you all use the same 'Who, me?' when challenged, so just trot along and bother another board, there's a good little boy.
Thanks for your assessment Alfa, it appears that my positivity was getting a little ahead of the present reality, but it's still good to see steps are being taken to improve the VRFB package from where it currently stands. I look forward to seeing more improvements coming through in due course.
This is probably one for Alfa or someone with similar knowledge of physics/chemistry but the inventor of the VRFB, Maria Skyllas-Kazacos, has continued her studies into V batteries and has come up with a way to significantly increase energy density up to 80% more than is currently possible. That must surely increase the range of applications suitable for V batteries eg domestic and, who knows, perhaps even the Holy Grail, EV.
As a consequence, this improvement has the potential to materially increase global demand for vanadium.
Vanadium Oxygen Fuel Cell Utilising High Concentration Electrolyte
Abstract
A vanadium oxygen fuel cell is a modified form of a conventional vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) where the positive electrolyte (VO2+/VO2+ couple) is replaced by the oxygen reduction (ORR) process. This potentially allows for a significant improvement in energy density and has the added benefit of overcoming the solubility limits of V (V) at elevated temperatures, while also allowing the vanadium negative electrolyte concentration to increase above 3 M. In this paper, a vanadium oxygen fuel cell with vanadium electrolytes with a concentration of up to 3.6 M is reported with preliminary results presented for different electrodes over a range of current densities. Using precipitation inhibitors, the concentration of vanadium can be increased considerably above the commonly used 2 M limit, leading to improved energy density.

Pat48, just to validate your post from earlier, this is from Bloomberg:
https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/2771099Z:SJ
"South Africa Japan Vanadium (Pty) Ltd was founded in 1962. The company's line of business includes the manufacturing of steel castings including alloy, bushings, and rolling mill rolls." which confirms that the info that you posted was quite correct.
Also from the Vanchem acquisition RNS:
"(ii) the ferrovanadium production business of SAJV as a going concern ("SAJV Business")"
While it would be amazing to get an iron and steel business wrapped up as part of this deal, the above wording strongly implies that the iron and steel parts of SAJV are not included in our purchase of Vanchem; we 'only' get the alumino-thermic smelting facility, also located at Highveld, which converts vanadium pentoxide into ferrovanadium. Still very handy tho. ;-)
faramog, as a certain famous economist once said:
‘When the facts change, my opinion changes’
It could be that a certain soon-to-be-famous CEO faced a similar situation when Vanchem appeared on his radar and he chose to change direction in order to take advantage of a major addition to the Bushy collection. He may have seen the benefit to BMN and to existing shareholders of acquiring a quick but cheap route to increasing our V product range and our annual output in one swift move.
