Interims out tomorrow then. Still a few small sellers about, people are starting to lose faith here.

[fireball xl5] 30/3/2017 08:58

Always thought there was room for Metal Mickey. Treats for the attendees "Atomic Thunderbusters" and the presentation dusted liberally with a number of "Boogie, Boogie".think we are onto a winner QS.

[qsmeily456] 30/3/2017 08:39

There's always a reason why a share languishes when the broker values at 27p excluding the VAN.

Best ask Alex about his commitment to increase shareholder value and how a decent co presenter might help LOLsss

[qsmeily456] 29/3/2017 18:19

Ok we will get a date sorted. Best days for you? LOLsss

[fireball xl5] 29/3/2017 17:05

Not sure when I'm up next but a day out sounds pleasant. Tickets are reasonably priced for such esteemed company. April end of or beginning of that three letter PM name I can no longer repeat for fear of barfing.

[qsmeily456] 29/3/2017 15:56

Let's meet....dates and time we know where.

That LSE thread is a hoot. Just let them crack on getting the VAN mot etc. Threatening.....the spineless shareholders that never bother attending an AGM and let MA Roger them while they bent over politely and dropped their pants LOLsss

[fireball xl5] 29/3/2017 08:21

Today and another 2. Keeping his powder dry, waiting for something or just plain keeping us waiting. I'm sure they are all done and dusted. The intrigue may well be heightened should it be after close Friday lol's.

[ljchandler] 29/3/2017 02:32

Stav all good thank you. Hope your keeping well mate.

[stav5001] 28/3/2017 17:34

FB & QS

I am happy to meet.

Lee
I hope everything is going well for you.

[fireball xl5] 27/3/2017 17:24

QS - Yes must hook up again at some point. There is, I am sure, plenty to talk about, well, the interims might knock a few ducks off the shooting gallery. I'm not convinced that we will see any downward pressure, always a buyer for the seller at the moment. Still believe that this Quarter end will reveal.

[ljchandler] 27/3/2017 17:12

hardly a big sell of though LOLsss

probably not even at total of 1m sold in the past 4 weeks

[qsmeily456] 27/3/2017 15:43

The selling Will continue until they come clean LOLsss

[kryptonsnake] 27/3/2017 12:04

Hopefully we'll get a few more buys like that this week.

[cyberbub] 27/3/2017 11:43

I thought there must be a delayed buy somewhere in the system... there it is... not massive but still a show of confidence...

[kryptonsnake] 27/3/2017 10:59

I think it's safe to say we will stay above 7p until we get the interim results this week.

If no decent updates follow then we could dip a bit lower. There seems to be a fair bit of selling going off now, perhaps a few nervous holders selling, nothing big though.

[qsmeily456] 27/3/2017 10:45

6p anyone? LOLsss

[qsmeily456] 25/3/2017 14:55

Balls let's hook up again with Stav baby.....lunch? Same coffee house to meet? LOLsss

[stav5001] 24/3/2017 18:14

For the record.

Alloys

Approximately 85% of vanadium produced is used as ferrovanadium or as a steel additive.[36] The considerable increase of strength in steel containing small amounts of vanadium was discovered in the early 20th century. Vanadium forms stable nitrides and carbides, resulting in a significant increase in the strength of steel.[38] From that time on, vanadium steel was used for applications in axles, bicycle frames, crankshafts, gears, and other critical components. There are two groups of vanadium steel alloys. Vanadium high-carbon steel alloys contain 0.15% to 0.25% vanadium, and high-speed tool steels (HSS) have a vanadium content of 1% to 5%. For high-speed tool steels, a hardness above HRC 60 can be achieved. HSS steel is used in surgical instruments and tools.[39] Powder-metallurgic alloys contain up to 18% percent vanadium. The high content of vanadium carbides in those alloys increases wear resistance significantly. One application for those alloys is tools and knives.[40]

Vanadium stabilizes the beta form of titanium and increases the strength and temperature stability of titanium. Mixed with aluminium in titanium alloys, it is used in jet engines, high-speed airframes and dental implants. The most common alloy for seamless tubing is Titanium 3/2.5, the titanium alloy of choice in the aerospace, defense and bicycle industries.[41] Another common alloy, primarily produced in sheets, is Titanium 6AL-4V, a titanium alloy with 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium.[42]

Several vanadium alloys show superconducting behavior. The first A15 phase superconductor was a vanadium compound, V3Si, which was discovered in 1952.[43] Vanadium-gallium tape is used in superconducting magnets (17.5 teslas or 175,000 gauss). The structure of the superconducting A15 phase of V3Ga is similar to that of the more common Nb3Sn and Nb3Ti.[44]

It has been proposed that a small amount, 40 to 270 ppm, of vanadium in Wootz steel and Damascus steel significantly improved the strength of the product, though the source of the vanadium is unclear.[45]
Other uses
Vanadium(V) oxide is a catalyst in the contact process for producing sulfuric acid

Vanadium foil is used in cladding titanium to steel because it is compatible with both iron and titanium.[46] The moderate thermal neutron-capture cross-section and the short half-life of the isotopes produced by neutron capture makes vanadium a suitable material for the inner structure of a fusion reactor.[47][48]

The most common oxide of vanadium, vanadium pentoxide V2O5, is used as a catalyst in manufacturing sulfuric acid by the contact process[49] and as an oxidizer in maleic anhydride production.[50] Vanadium pentoxide is used in ceramics.[51] Vanadium is an important component of mixed metal oxide catalysts used in the oxidation of propane and propylene to acrolein, acrylic acid or the ammoxidation of propylene to acrylonitrile.[52][53][54] In service, the oxidation state of vanadium changes dynamically and reversibly with the oxygen and the steam content of the reacting feed mixture.[55][56] Another oxide of vanadium, vanadium dioxide VO2, is used in the production of glass coatings, which blocks infrared radiation (and not visible light) at a specific temperature.[57] Vanadium oxide can be used to induce color centers in corundum to create simulated alexandrite jewelry, although alexandrite in nature is a chrysoberyl.[58]

The Vanadium redox battery, a type of flow battery, is an electrochemical cell consisting of aqueous vanadium ions in different oxidation states.[59][60] Batteries of the type were first proposed in the 1930s and developed commercially from the 1980s onwards. Cells use +5 and +2 formal oxidization state ions, and (as of 2016) are used commercially for small scale (c. 0.1 - 10 MW, 0.1 - 100 GJ) grid energy storage.[citation needed]

Vanadate can be used for protecting steel against rust and corrosion by conversion coating.[61]

Proposed
Lithium vanadium oxide has been proposed for use as a high energy density anode for lithium ion batteries, at 745 Wh/L when paired with a lithium cobalt oxide cathode.[62] Vanadium phosphates have been proposed as the cathode in the Lithium Vanadium Phosphate Battery, another type of lithium ion battery.

Hi 99Jeremiah! I'm going to take issue with your Vanadium vs. Uranium article...
1) 90% of the current use of vanadium is in making vanadium steel alloys (a dollop of V adds 30% tensile strength to ordinary steel). Other uses are titanium alloys for aircraft frames and so on. Currently battery use is minimal.
2) Nobody knows if Vanadium Redox Flow batteries will ever be widely adopted or not. Although Li-ion batteries are inferior in many technical respects, they may end up being widely used even for grid storage applications. Note: expended car batteries can be removed from cars, reconditioned, and reused for this purpose relatively cheaply!
3) Uranium clearly has a bright future over the next couple of decades - we are not ready yet to close down all our nuclear power stations. In fact, China and India are building huge numbers of new reactors.
In conclusion, the vanadium market is robust, and will continue to be so. Another way of looking at the steel alloy question, is that any new building needs 30% less steel if you use vanadium steel alloy. The battery question is a wild card; though if VRBs were widely adopted, it would increase demand for vanadium tremendously. But the market for uranium is equally good, if not better.
Finally, beware the hype around Bushveld. I don't often agree with ShareProphets, but I think that they're right on this one.

[qsmeily456] 24/3/2017 08:03

I cannot await our next London reunion chaps LOLsss We wants it we does......

[fireball xl5] 24/3/2017 00:03

Please Stav, I'd prefer the position of Roady lol there is no getting over a fickle groupie. QS fills the brief as some band members were quite rightly the subject of severe and justified critisism lol

[stav5001] 23/3/2017 17:00

Booky

Are you currently employed as a mining engineer, its great to have another investor on board that could add value, especially without baggage, welcome aboard.

Guys

You are making QS's days as he teases you, whilst he for waits for production like the rest of us, FB finally has his number, as a BMR groupie. Makes me smile.

QS.

AIM to please.............INCORRIGIBLE. Ah.... the "THE PRECIOUS" we wants it. LOL!

[qsmeily456] 23/3/2017 11:49

Cornetto

An offtake will come way before production.....but without the VAN MOT it's no JORC LOLsss
