I'm almost tempted, but I expect I'll stay on the sidelines. I bought ACP when they were trying to set up mine water purification for the acid water flowing from defunct mines in the area around Cape Town. At least that seemed a worthwhile venture: it opened my eyes to the difficulty of setting up a business in Africa, and to the opportunities for corruption enabled by legislation requiring domestic participation in such schemes.

They then tried to make money from making fuel briquettes from coal dust in the spoil heaps in SA. Less of a benefit to mankind, but still arguably worthwhile. As that dragged on they switched to the Moputo (sp?) gold prospect, a project with no value to humanity at all, but expected to be highly profitable. I took my losses at 12p (adjusting for the 150:1 share consolidation). Now the gold mine has been dumped and ACP hope to make a fortune from graphite. At least that has some social value as well as hopefully commercial value. But the share price history shows that most people think this company just can't make money in Africa.

Magnis Energy (Tanzanian graphite Company)India is getting its own giant battery gigafactory for electric vehicles - https://electrek.co/2019/01/21/india-battery-gigafactory-electric-vehicles/Magnis Energy Technologies Limited announced today that it is finalizing a deal with the Government of India, Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, to build what they are calling "India's first Lithium-ion Battery Gigafactory" with state-owned Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and LIBCOIN, which is partly owned by Magnis.Magnis Chairman Frank Poullas also commented:"To have The Central Government of India endorse this project is very encouraging for both Magnis and its partners. We see India as one of the largest markets in the world for Lithium-ion batteries and to potentially build one of the world's largest Lithium-ion battery Gigafactories with a partner who possesses the skill and expertise of BHEL is exciting for the company."

Blackrock shares are flying, up 21 percent Friday & another 10 percent today, on the back of the report no doubt.

Thought I would just post the article. It was tricky getting into. Anyone thinking about investing in graphite or ACP must read this! It shows all the advantages that ACP will also have in the graphite market, production, quality, transport etc etc as we are a stone's throw away from Black rock.Black rock is a neighbour of ACP and could be the most likely potential company to buy us out pre production.

The battery boom to attract $620 billion in investment by 2040. http://www.mining.com/web/battery-boom-attract-620-billion-investment-2040/The battery boom is coming to China, California and basically everywhere else-and it will be even bigger than previously thought.The global energy-storage market will surge to a cumulative 942 gigawatts by 2040, according to a new forecast from Bloomberg NEF published Tuesday, and that growth will necessitate $620 billion in investment. Sharply falling battery costs is a key driver of the boom. BNEF sees the capital cost of a utility-scale lithium-ion storage system falling another 52 percent by 2030.Two important markets come into particular focus. China, which is building up its battery-manufacturing capacity, will be a central player in the boom. California, meanwhile, has pushed through a series of measures in recent years that will directly or indirectly spur more batteriesBut cost isn't the only factor. Governments from China to California are spurring demand, as is the rise of electric vehicles and solar power. There's also been a greater focus on storage for electric-vehicle charging as well as energy access in remote areas."Costs have come down faster than we expected," Yayoi Sekine, a New York-based analyst at BNEF, said in an interview. "Batteries are going to permeate our lives."The implications of cheaper batteries are far-reaching, upending multiple industries and helping spur technologies necessary to help fight climate change. Batteries power the electric vehicles that are popping up on our freeways. They also unlock solar power from the exclusive confines of the sun.Two important markets come into particular focus. China, which is building up its battery-manufacturing capacity, will be a central player in the boom. California, meanwhile, has pushed through a series of measures in recent years that will directly or indirectly spur more batteries, including legislation that would require all of the state's electricity to come from carbon-free sources by 2045."Storage is just so sensibly the next step in the evolution of renewable energy," Edward Fenster, the executive chairman of San Francisco-based rooftop-solar company Sunrun Inc., said in an interview. "If we're going to get to 100 percent renewable energy, we'll need storage."Here are six key takeaways from the latest BNEF battery forecast:Cumulative energy-storage deployments are now forecast to exceed 50 gigawatt-hours by 2020. That's three years earlier than BNEF's outlook from just last year. Energy storage may be equivalent to 7 percent of the world's total installed power capacity by 2040. The Asia-Pacific region will be home to 45 percent of total installations on a megawatt basis by 2040. Another 29 percent will be spread across Europe, Middle East and Africa. The remainder will be in the Americas. The majority of storage capacity will be utility-scale until the mid-2030s. But then so-called behind-the-meter projects- installations at businesses, industrial sites and residential properties-will overtake utility-scale. A list of the leading battery countries is topped by who you would expect: China, U.S., India, Japan, Germany, France, Australia, South Korea and the U.K. South Korea today dominates the market but will be overtaken by the U.S. early in the 2020s-and both will later be eclipsed by China. Storage is coming to developing countries in Africa, too. BNEF explains it thusly: utilities will likely recognize that the combination of solar, diesel and batteries in "far-flung sites" is cheaper than extending the power grid or building a fossil-only generator.

Huge high voltage battery marketMarket Is Projected to Grow to $89.1 Billion by 2025http://m.digitaljournal.com/pr/4110183The Asia Oceania region is projected to be the largest market for high voltage battery capturing 79% of the total market share. Strong economic growth, increasing focus toward smart cities, development related to Giga factory setup, and favorable government policies have triggered the demand for high voltage batteries in the region. BYD (China) and Nissan (Japan) are the leading EV players in the region. According to MarketsandMarkets analysis, majority of the electric bus market is driven by China. This trend of electric buses in China is also expected to be the same in the near future. Owing to the above-mentioned factors, Asia Oceania is estimated to be the largest and fastest growing market for high voltage batteries, by region.

Good post and totally agree with it Bal

https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/212273/black-rock-minings-former-board-member-increases-stake-to-2038-212273.htmlRelated to black rock but it shows how the players are positioning themselves for an increase in market demand for battery production. I think the prospects for ACP are huge but we need a solid strategy which the board does have.My concerns are not the share price rising, I think that is inevitable just with market demand. The concern here is are the board going to sell the asset to a neighbour without realising the full potential of the investment. ACP is an investment company who are about to go into mining, so I think they may just sell out if they receive an offer. Even then the value for us shareholders is positive but if they sell for less than 10p I would be extremely disappointed. Been lingering around here since the early days so really do want a banger which is possible.Never thought I would know this much about graphite!!Good Luck to all!!

[balbains324] 11/1/2019 13:20

I'm not sure I can cope with this reaction

[balbains324] 11/1/2019 07:43

Good....finally mine has been sold. Now let's hope this is the start of all the good news.

[glenbo1] 08/1/2019 08:30

Could be any day now.I will email the company and see what their view is.

[jsd71] 04/1/2019 09:13

Exactly, major news due in the next few rns announcements, definitive feasability study, Chinese offtake agreement, becoming a mining company, it must be very close..rock bottom price, this is the time to buy imo.

[ertugrul] 03/1/2019 17:55

If it is the case that Brexit has anything to do with the downward trend of AIM generally, I really don't see much chance of that reversing any time soon.
