EV play London listed POD POINT / LSE:PODP

Tipped in the Sunday Times yesterday

On our walk to school, we play “EV I Spy”. The kids count the number of electric vehicles that drive past and compare the total to petrol cars. EVs haven’t won yet, but on some days it’s close.

Electric cars are on the move and that makes Pod Point — a charging business that has had a disastrous time on the markets since listing at £2.25 last November — worthy of speculation.

The shares have more than halved since the float and now hover around £1. Yet there are 400,000 EVs already on the road, and motorists in this country bought more of them last year than in the previous five combined. The drawback, most drivers state, is that the charging infrastructure has not kept up with these sales.

This is why Pod Point merits scrutiny as a possible investment. It is a dominant player in the burgeoning market in at-home charging points, installing 55,000 last year, and is the second-biggest firm in workplace charge points. Fast, at-home units such as those by Pod Point, which cost from £800, are viewed as a near-necessity for new EV drivers, and it has signed “preferred supplier” deals with marques including BMW and Volkswagen, as well as with retailers such as Lidl and Tesco, which host its charge points in its car parks.

There are reasons to be cautious: Pod Point is young — founded by mechanical engineer Erik Fairbairn in 2009 — and yet to generate profits, with some analysts suggesting it could fail to do so until 2025. It also operates in a very competitive market and the government has withdrawn key EV grants.

The firm, though, has heft behind it — French energy giant EDF has a majority stake — and it is thinking ahead to when the charging market reaches saturation. Only 2 per cent of turnover is currently from recurring revenues — commercial clients’ network payments or revenue-sharing deals — but it is working on ways to boost this, quadrupling 2021’s technology budget to £20 million to use the vast data it collects on customers’ charging patterns to create future revenue streams.

It is pondering, for example, energy-monitoring services that could help drivers switch automatically to cheaper tariffs.

Pod Point’s investment case does involve a lot of “coulds”. It’s a risky bet. But there is also the chance that an industry rival — perhaps BP or Shell, both of which have growing EV charging operations as they try to shift away from fossil fuels — could buy Pod Point as a shortcut. With the shares down so much, but the popularity of EVs revving up, it is worth plugging into: buy.

Rockpool Acquisitions (ROC) 4.5p Market cap. £573K.




ROC has about £950K. cash, and extremely low cashburn.

ROC's large discount at the moment to its cash, despite this extremely low cashburn, looks like a temporary discrepancy - and one that is gradually being addressed by ROC's share price rise, as the market wakes up to the opportunity.

Botswana focussed metals exploration company Kavango Resources plc (LSE:KAV) ("Kavango") is pleased to release an Independent Conceptual Economic Viability Report (the "Viability Report") for the Iron Oxide Copper-Gold target (the "IOCG Target") at the Great Red Spot within Target Area B in the northern (Hukuntsi) section of the Kalahari Suture Zone ("KSZ").

The IOCG Target at the Great Red Spot exhibits similar geophysical signatures to the Olympic Dam IOCG ore-deposit that is owned and operated by BHP in Australia. A full description of the IOCG Target can be found in the announcement made on 09 May (>>> link here).

Kavango commissioned the Viability Report to assess whether the IOCG Target would be an economically viable mine, should drill testing confirm mineralisation. The Viability Report was prepared by Executive Mining Group Ltd ("Executive Mining"), an established firm of mining executives with extensive experience in Africa.

The Viability Report is a conceptual study and should not construed as a definitive study and has been created to support further exploration of the IOCG Target, including future test drilling.

Executive Mining concludes that the IOCG Target would be economically viable at depths up to 2km below the surface, should sufficient bulk of mineralisation be discovered that is of sufficient grade.

Kavango plans to release an exploration plan for the IOCG Target in the coming weeks, which will describe the Company's approach to testing this target thoroughly.

Ben Turney, Chief Executive Officer of Kavango Resources, commented:

"The IOCG Target at the Great Red Spot is highly attractive because it is so large, and the geophysical indicators so compelling. Results from three separate surveying techniques (gravity, magnetics and CSAMT) appear to correlate with one another, while the established presence of magnetite from Hole KSZDD001 provides a further physical exploration lead.

To add further weight to ongoing pursuit of this deposit style at the estimated depths, we commissioned this Independent Conceptual Economic Viability Report by Executive Mining.

As this stage it is important to understand that the numbers presented are idealised. Until Kavango is able to drill test the IOCG Target we cannot know what the geological formations are nor whether any mineralisation is present.

The purpose of this report is to give Kavango confidence that the IOCG Target is worth pursuing. We've tried to be conservative with the input numbers, especially the estimated forward metal prices.

Clearly, as investors will see in the tables at the bottom of this announcement, this is a project of significant potential. We are very pleased with the results of the report and Kavango will continue further exploration of the IOCG Target, with a view to vectoring in on specific drill targets."

Commenting on the results, Bernard Aylward, CEO of Kodal Minerals / LSE:KOD said:



"We are in the enviable position of owning 100% of the concessions of what I believe will become one of the most significant lithium spodumene producing projects in West Africa, and the first in Mali. The prices of lithium spodumene have risen exponentially as global demand for this critical mineral shows no sign of abating driven by the green agenda and the EV (electric vehicle) revolution.



"The work carried out by our team on the ground resulted in the successful receipt of our Mining Licence at Bougouni and initiated a six-month work programme to update the original feasibility study carried out in 2020. The results have further enhanced the Project's already robust economic fundamentals with an IRR of 91%, a payback period of eight months and a life of mine revenue of approximately US$2.14 billion, nearly a 50% increase on our original feasibility study estimate.



"Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in exploration at our gold projects following the excellent results from our reverse core drilling campaign. However, our priority is to de-risk the Bougouni Project, by further reducing expected operating costs whilst advancing discussions with potential partners on funding for construction with the view of bringing the Project into production."
