3.3 Technology Alternatives
Eskom have evaluated several battery technologies as listed in Table 2-1. These have been narrowed down to three technologies that were considered most feasible for the Melkhout site with Li ion being the preferred technical alternative for Eskom.



Note: Lithium is the preferred choice

Where’s the news Mo has been promising us on a regular basis.

You know the old saying when it comes to BMN? No news is bad news.

They haven’t communicated to investors that they weren’t going to issues quarterly reports so it’s only right and reasonable to expect one for q2 nd delivered in a timely way. Every time they have been late there was bad news so why would it be any different now. Fortune likes to delay bad news in the hope he can bury it with something positive. It’s never worked yet. It just goes to show how much contempt he has for his paymasters.

Q updates are a little more nuanced than just taking a screen shot from your office managers ytd spread sheet.By the time you're done with all the associated press and media updates as well you're only 8 weeks from the next one. They're a huge distraction for productive companies, no complaints from me if they opted for 6 monthlies.

Another consideration if any perceived delay wasn't pre-planned... is staff who might normally have been employed on compiling relatively unimportant market update report.... being a tad busy and employed in a rather more urgent direction.The closing date for the submission of tendering documents for packages 'C' and B'.... 26/8.They will be rather large and complex documents!HTtps://tenderbulletin.eskom.co.za/Tenders/Docs?TENDERID=44761A.

Do me a favour. Unless they have told investors otherwise we are expecting a quarterly report. 2018 was the same and we all know what happened there. Fortune said everything was ok in June only to report bad news.

[dontay] 21/8/2020 14:39

Q2 reports, like Q4 reports are mainly superfluous.No reason not to combine a Q2 report with a full 6 month interim report.They sensibly combined last years Q4 with an unexpectedly earlier than normal full yr results publication at the end of January.

Afternoon Mr not very happy.

[nvhltd] 21/8/2020 13:11

Is it any wonder why the share price is so low when a tiny company like BMN can’t get a production report out almost 2 months past the period end. No wonder no one is interested in BMN and the share price drifts. The quarterLy reports are just like everything else Fortune touches - late!!!

There’s no excuses for taking this long to report. It’s amateurish.

Down day across the board for everything I follow by the looks of it.Might get my 13.1 today

[jc2706] 19/8/2020 16:45

I don’t disagree with that - there is obvious horizontal resistance at that level. I am less convinced about the 100 and 200EMA. The price has blown through both on a number of occasions and I don’t see that they have provided much support either. More recently it seems to have respected the 100EMA but should the price blow through it I think that the 200EMA will follow.

[paleje] 19/8/2020 15:26

Master Investor covered this a few weeks ago, reckoned it needs to hold ~16 to break the downtrend and attract buyer attention.

[plat hunter] 19/8/2020 09:30

Well my limit isn't getting hit today that's by the looks of it.Midas touch wearing off

[jc2706] 18/8/2020 22:47

I suspect that Richken probably is selling. He was late to BMN and comes across as the sort of investor that has a tendency to buy high and sell low.

I have no problem with people buying and selling as they like but this comes across more as a buy signal than anything else.

[seanywauny] 18/8/2020 20:28

And water is wet.

[divmad] 18/8/2020 19:51

Could be. As someone who was in bmn in the early days for a few bags, and totally missed the ultimate ramp to 48p, I find it implausible that these LTHs who regularly pontificate in various BBs, weren't actually in distribution mode. Whereas now it looks like another base has been built, ready for another leg of the journey.

[plat hunter] 18/8/2020 18:59

Here's an idea...Maybe and just maybe... When they're were all ramping from 48p, perhaps they were actually selling... And now they're selling perhaps, they're actually buying?

[divmad] 18/8/2020 18:07

So Richken is seeking his bmn then, is he?
