2 RNS to start the Week
Firstly the formal notice from RIO that following the exercise of their option last week they now hold 19.76% of SVML’s shares.

Secondly the shares are now listed in the US on the OTCQX in addition to its listings in Australia and the UK. SVML already has a large US investor in Sprott and this new listing will make it easier for other US investors to join the party.

If we return to the original investment RNS we can see what comes next:

“ Operatorship of Project and marketing) Following the Company announcing a DFS for the Project until the Investor End Date, Rio Tinto has the option (Rio Tinto Option) to be appointed as the operator of the Project on arm's length terms and subject to Rio Tinto becoming the operator of the Project, be granted the exclusive right to 40% of the annual production of all products produced from the Project as identified in the DFS for so long as Rio Tinto remains the operator of the Project. This right is subject to any approvals required by law (including any securities exchange) and/or government or other regulatory approvals.” That end date is 90 days from DFS but can be extended to 180 days at Rio’s request.

My view is that Rio will not want to be the operator for someone else but that they will want to fully own and control this massive world class resource. It would seem likely that Rio would choose to make a full bid when the DFS is released or even before as they would want to get in before another large miner starts to take an interest.

SVML having a positive start to the week Up 5% on volume of just 106000. I imagine investors are positioning themselves for next month when RIO must decide whether to exercise their option to buy another 5% of SVML taking them to essentially 20%. RIO have been extensively involved in working on the project which has been progressing very well on all fronts. It would be extremely surprising if RIO didn’t add to their holding which will of course inject substantial further funds into the project. It will also be a massive vote of confidence in a project that will in all probability be taken over in it’s entirety by RIO before too long.

An initial sign of Rio's intent here...but this was before the Chinese graphite news.

16 October 2023



Rio Tinto also issued with 34,549,598 options to increase its shareholding by an additional 4.99% to potentially 19.99% of Sovereign within 12 months

Rio Tinto's 34.5 million options have an exercise price of A$0.535 per Share, representing a 21% premium to the 45-day volume weighted average price on the ASX as at close 14th July 2023, for additional proceeds of up to $18.5 million (if all options are exercised)

seagreen - you must mean Sapan Ghai? Long established in the smoke as the man to go to for mining M&A and financing deals. This deal with Rio isnt too shabby.

SP Angel have also made comment too

We believe Sapan Ghai, Chief Commercial Officer and Ben Stoikovich, Chairman spearheaded the negotiations with Rio Tinto from Sovereign’s London office.

We expect the Kasiya rutile/ilmenite and graphite mine could turn into a ‘world-class’ project with the involvement of Rio Tinto.


Conclusion: This is a great deal for Sovereign, it gives the company the funding it needs to develop the Kasiya project at a premium to the prevailing price.
It gives shareholders significant upside to increasing the scale and value of the project. It gives new investors the ability to come in and share the upside potential with the benefit of the Rio Tinto finance and expert support. It helps to accelerate the Kasiya project development and it allows potential for rival bids.

@seagreen, I’d guess that poster got taken to the cleaners by SO4. Investing during mine build or production start up is very dangerous, Pure Gold were another that failed at that stage. HZM seem to be going ok at present but are still very much in the danger zone.

Getting in right after a major investment has given the project global credibility & right before a PFS release is ideal. Aussie investors are on the ball & there is plenty of capital for the right projects, unlike in the UK.

They are doing all the sensible boring grunt work getting it to PFS first.

So its a non producer

Whether they aim to package it up and sell it at the PFS stage, keep a stake with a royalty or finance it time will tell ...

Investors are banking on the shortage of large projects and potential large commercial producers of Rutile with China controlling a huge amount of production and supply so other countries are getting twitchy.

Plus if you believe that world demand for Graphite is growing it has a second string to its bow.

Although they seem to have a proven logistics rail network chain sorted if you read up.

More of a small stake that I can aford to sit and wait on investment for me to see how it plays out

Although interesting the Japanese firm Chemours a mega player in the market are clearly aware of it.

Sorry not to be more helpful but there is presumably an estimate on line of time to full production but time will tell




-- Sovereign is progressing the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Kasiya Rutile Project (Kasiya), an industry-leading major source of critical raw materials in Malawi.

-- The PFS will build on the Expanded Scoping Study (ESS) which confirmed Kasiya as one of the world's largest and potentially lowest cost producers of natural rutile and natural graphite with a carbon-footprint substantially lower than other current and planned producers.

-- The PFS is on track to be completed in H1 2023 with all major works packages now well underway.
