£20k is pretty big buy for this share..this could be the week

[dr darkstar] 22/8/2021 22:42

It's not a significant amount. Nor would any buy of that paltry level need to be reported

[talk2dubya] 20/8/2021 21:34

When was there anyone buying chunks in 2.5m or 3m blocks recently?

[aceuk] 20/8/2021 19:15

You're hardly talking big money to buy millions of shares - not worth registering much thought

[talk2dubya] 20/8/2021 18:09

Align would likely be insider ? Not that makes much of a difference on AIM.

[ladeside] 20/8/2021 18:05

Could be Align hoovering up all the loose shares punted by the impatient / quick buck merchants ??

As I've mentioned previously, funding News is just the beginning not the end, Ironveld then becomes a completely different animal as it heads towards production and appears on the radar of the big boys.

Things could soon become very interesting here.....

[talk2dubya] 20/8/2021 17:15

3m after hour buy. Was a 2.5m buy earlier as well, me thinks someone has got word of something.

From the Align Research report on Ironveld dated 7th. January 2021 -

"Demand for vanadium in the steel market has been forecast to grow by around 2.5% CAGR until 2027. However, demand for this metal looks as though it could rise substantially due to the advancement of VRFB technology. In a nutshell, VRFBs store energy in liquid vanadium electrolyte (which makes up to 80% of the VRFB) which never degrades. This looks like being the ultimate green energy storage system as the hardware can be recycled whilst the vanadium can be used repeatedly.

VRFBs are fast being heralded as the most sustainable and advanced technology available for large scale energy storage for electricity generated by solar and wind. These redox flow batteries can discharge and be recharged 20,000 times with little loss performance. In fact, VRFBs do seem to offer the potential to give rise to a true revolution in power grids and brand-new applications based on sustainable energy storage. The real key to the full-scale commercialisation of this green energy storage technology looks as though it really hinges on having a sustainable supply of vanadium.

For these sorts of reasons, the World Bank in a 2019 report on battery metals reckoned that vanadium would be one of the top five minerals to see a significant increase in demand by 2050 on the back of a forecasted 500% increase in demand for battery metals. This is all in order to meet the mushrooming demand for clean energy technologies."

Own up who bought the 1,000 shares at full ask?

"Can Vanadium Flow Batteries beat Li-ion for utility-scale storage?
September 4, 2019 by James Conca

It’s taken 40 years for lithium-ion battery technology to evolve into its current state, powering everything from the smallest electronic devices to Tesla’s 100MW battery farm in southern Australia. But utility-scale Li-ion batteries are rare. 99% of grid storage today is pumped hydro, a solution that will always be limited by geographical and environmental constraints. For utility-scale chemical batteries to take off they need a new technology, says Jim Conca, and that technology is the Vanadium Flow Battery. He explains how the V-flow battery outcompetes Li-ion, and any other solid battery, for utility-scale applications. They’re safer, more scalable, longer-lasting, and there’s much more Vanadium than Lithium in the Earth’s crust. But commercialisation suffers from the high cost of Vanadium extraction. So researchers are working on how to store more electricity through improved chemistry, and improved cell and stack designs. And, of course, lowering the cost of that Vanadium extraction. Conca plots a pathway to making V-flow batteries less than half the cost of Li-ion per kWh. ..."

Interesting article - from several years ago, although it still looks relevant.

And it makes a compelling case that vanadium is far superior to lithium for energy storage, using multiple criteria.

[tommygriff] 20/8/2021 12:32

Get the feeling something might be happening but had that many false dawns

[talk2dubya] 20/8/2021 08:32

Interesting ask increased without a trade going through and there was that 800k sell afterhours yesterday.

100k now 0.68.

[talk2dubya] 19/8/2021 18:39

Also got the offtake agreements and mining contractors lined up.

[johncasey] 19/8/2021 18:30

be nice to do an eurasia mining type rocket...one never knows on aim

[hedgehog 100] 19/8/2021 18:19

With the right news, I don't see why IRON couldn't re-rate back to the 6p - 7p range relatively quickly ... barely a third of its historic high, and similar to the valuation of FAR.

Which could make it a ten-bagger from current levels.

We have the product, we have the team, and the time is ripe - a developing battery metals bull market.

All we need is the right strategic funding deal to ignite blast-off.

IRON's latest tweet:

Ironveld plc@IronveldPLC·17 Aug
"Did you know that #titanium is created from dying stars? Studies have shown that one supernova could create 100 'Earths worth' of certain titanium isotopes hxxp://ow.ly/BIuw50FSmmQ "



Is this a hint that IRON's 'rocket launch' is about to commence?!!

[talk2dubya] 19/8/2021 16:34

Was 0.67 for a 100k

[cloud9surfer] 19/8/2021 16:34

Full ask paid at close.

[talk2dubya] 19/8/2021 16:05

Someone has been buying 500k chunks - this is well off the radar, if funding news lands it will be bargain buckets all round from this level.

[hedgehog 100] 19/8/2021 16:05

Perhaps they're not short of stock, but want to hang on to the stock they've got.

Market makers sometimes also act as brokers, and brokers often have an inside track on what's going on in a company ...

[talk2dubya] 19/8/2021 15:55

I don’t understand how they can be so short of stock. A measly 110k is above the ask

[luckyabbeygale] 19/8/2021 14:49

Yes the gap up starts any minute from now. 100 k buy just has had to pay the full asking price. That said it all in my opinion.

[talk2dubya] 18/8/2021 19:28

Yes this will gap up tomorrow, I think we will see some news this week.
