TC....much more interesting is MMS & Stonewall progressing.....not far from Albermarle plant.....wonder how that's coming along.....
TC.....ref couts & basics...that's mission impossible.....lol....good luck but careful as he will try to sap your +ve energy etc.....lol Can't educate a troll....ie one who posts deliberately provocative posts and enjoys the art of p*ss*ng people off......oh also an ugly cave dwelling creature beyond redemption.....!!
TC.....it's worth pondering what would happen to the market & prices, if we remain sidelined.......lol Nobody else on the planet anywhere close to 15 million tonnes LCE.....(and plenty mor where that came from).... Bring on the REE's..... !)
Not sue on method of travel up there....but some interesting info regards ITS.....at the IAC in MEXICO.......lol The Mars rocket booster may require 42 raptor engines and carry 100 people and cargo.....lol EM states most of Spacex Engineering team working on ITS within the next 1-2yrs....so very real and closer than many realise...... http://spacenews.com/spacex-unveils-mars-mission-plans/
Now where did I put my Neodymium.... !)
codemonkey....lol.....what and leave out all the other goodies that were quickly whisked away with the scoping study..... Don't mention the nearby gold, silver, copper areas as well .......well let's just focus on the Lithium then...lol I suppose that's a plentiful, cheap, readily accessible, secure commodity and easily available supply for the current & future market demand......
So much for a polite Bb discussion on Spacex developments.......I mentioned methane....really no need for the response.....however if it makes you feel better..... Find plenty of smelly gas posted on these boards at the moment....by certain posters.... Your hyperthetical scenario of methane could simply be out there and being more capable of being used for return....what just scoop it up and fill up the gas tank, never had such a good chuckle .....what planet are you living on ???? Hope the first rockets and crews have enough supplies, as ain't coming back any time soon if that's the case ....... hahahahahaha ...... Oh by the way in case you weren't aware....BCN has found, mined and processed Lithium LCE..... try adding dilute hydrofluoric acid.....and see what you come up with, but that may not be necessary..... Anyway....good luck with your own research....
Today's science and tech a lot more advanced....as we are seeing with battery developments.... !) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_rocket_propellant http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1878535215000106
Spike....do you happen to know where Spacex are with their engine developments etc etc....space industry still coming to terms with where Spacex raptor is at for example.......what else is advanced behind closed doors to enable the ITS programme to come about....although methane used for the lower stages......what lightweight propellant will be required to return from Mars..... https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2016/10/its-propulsion-evolution-raptor-engine/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFUH0_ar40A
@codemonkey....not into ramping....did you say £555.55
TC......maybe best kept for BUNKER......lol
Example....plenty more out there....lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_rocket_propellant https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19860018652.pdf
Sorry Barksy.....but I didn't want to spell it out.......lol.....but that's correct from where my research seems to be heading..... Rocket fuel.....for an everyday rocket shuttle service to far away cholate bar planets.... !) Energy produced against weight and all the other factors would need to come into play.....and a lot more stable than the current rocket fuel possibly...... Stable nuclear Energy source to power far away Human colonies and intergalactic travel.....lol That would be right up someone's street.......lol
Also used in the simplifying of solar cells used in solar panels..... http://nano.eecs.berkeley.edu/publications/AEM_2016_Si%20PRC%20PV.pdf http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2016/01/27/simplifying-solar/
Also interesting in other uses.....glass....ceramics....and also possesses the highest UV transmission of any material....and lowest refractive index of all common infrared materials........lol Does that mean good for all Solar/energy applications.......ceramic roofs, panels, glass, etc etc
TC.....lithium fluoride.....some interesting properties and applications...... Naturally occurring LiF is known as the mineral griceite & extremely rare..... LiF is also used as a basic constituent in liquid fluoride nuclear reactors......and is exceptionally chemically stable.......
unless......Typo......lol
@maddog....depending on risk factors any third party interested in our assets and wanting to purchase would seriously consider a deal before production stage......as larger discounts available.....once we are producing from BCN with potential for organic growth a large income revenue.....we will become a whole lot more expensive for any prospective buyer !! BCN forecast producing 17.5k/t come sometime in 2019......
It's amazing....Market makers making a market, got to laugh......out of 20 stocks on watch list just had a look over lunchtime......only 2 in the blue ??? This seems more to do with MM profits on gains made since Xmas....maybe some de-risking & apprehension on market subject to Trump tax plan.......or simply shaking all shares to see what falls out before ISA season ahead.....nothing to do with investment fundamentals IMO .....fwiw Apparently it's called making a market......however I think there's another name for it.....!!!
@obs....what's also quite interesting this year.....there are a couple of hedge funds with macro investment strategies .....if successful may have raised circa $2billion between them for investments.......with some funds going into the industrials & tech sectors.......
