JimmyI wouldnt read too much into Rio being diluted / not taking up their allocation. SVM is small fry to them. I dont think this issue will affect their "technical" relationship with SVM. However whether they take up (or not) their option to become "operator" post BFS would be a big deal. If they didnt, then I'd be worried about SVMs future.Until then I think the share price drop to 0.68aud is a good buying / topping up opportunity for retail investors.You have a sizeable investment in SVM, so much to lose if Rio walks away; but I doubt they will. This is a very low cost Tier 1 deposit of strategic minerals. Not many of those around, even though mining in Malawi is an unknown risk. As a very poor country Malawi desperately needs this mine to go ahead, to boost their economy.

We're in for a rough ride today courtesy of trump tariff uncertainty. April is going to be a good time to buy SVML.

Pye - nice entry price at a discount to the retail offer at 41p - well done you...

Very exciting now. Fully funded and if the share price pushes on to 80p Rio will have its hand forced. And if Rio doesn't buy the company, maybe Glencore, Newmont or Fortesque

This is an interesting development because SVML is well funded with more than enough cash to complete the DFS which is virtually finished. I am just intrigued as to why they are raising money now and wondering if it is to strengthen their hand in the negotiations with Rio that will start a 90 day negotiation period as soon as the DFS is presented. This period can be extended up to 180 days. Clearly if the negotiations dragged on it could put SVML’s working capital under pressure as they continue to advance the project. Rio could use that as a lever to get a lower price when SVML was strapped for cash. Institutional investors will be very keen to get hold of SVML shares and it would not be surprising to see Sprott and other existing shareholders up their holdings. I think Rio have the right to maintain their 20% holding so they will almost certainly take what they can.

I think this is a very canny move by SCML which will accelerate the buy out by Rio and help to secure a higher price.

Extract from Charles Archer’s March Small Cap Mining Review:
Sovereign Metals remains the best stock on the AIM market. I could wax lyrical once again about the first rutile find in decades, or the magical graphite that’s apparently been designed by an intelligent creator, but the share price is doing the talking for us.
We’re up to 44.7p, a 15.8% rise this month - and 19.2% year-to-date. Three key things to note here:

The market cap is still well below the NPV of Kasiya, which has been effectively certified by Rio Tinto in the optimised PFS - you’re still early (though I recognise this is easy for me to say with a 22p average).
SVML shares on the ASX are constantly trading at a premium to the UK, even as we reach all-time-highs. While it’s tricky to take advantage of the possible arbitrage, this does mean you can get the shares ‘on sale’ at times.
As things stand, the DFS is out in the not too distant future and then Rio will need to play its hand. There may well be dips and volatility, but when the portals open, only the Avengers who heed the call are going to enjoy the profits.“
There is also an interview with the CCO on the Sunday Roast reviewing last weeks news and some discussions on valuation as the boxes are ticked on the way to production.

Close to 52 week High
SVML was Up 5.49% in Australia very close to its 52 week high. It is moving Up here this morning currently at 42p which is the 52 week closing high set on 22nd November 2024. The intra day 52 week high of 43.80 was also set on that day. The latest trade this morning was at 43p so we may set a new closing high today if the UK volume picks up. Australia is the main market and today’s rise there is very encouraging that SVML will rerate higher to reflect the continuing excellent news flow.

The higher the share price can move prior to a bid, the higher the bid will have to be!

Rick Rule who is a large shareholder thinks Rio will take it over although he would prefer the larger gains that would be made if SVML retained ownership. The comment from Alan Green about Glencore is one I have flagged before on the back of Rick Rule saying other large miners would like this Tier 1 deposit. Let’s hope Glencore do make a bid as a bidding war with Rio would push up the price. Interesting weeks ahead as agreements with Rio kick in on publication of the PFS with a 90 day timeframe if memory serves.

Thanks beeezzz:

1.Sovereign Metals (SVML): 36p Target 100p

Shares of SVML are up nearly 40% so far this year, but if this was not the London market in 2024, one would imagine that this £219m market cap company would be trading at multiples of this valuation. The reason for this judgement is that the company has clearly made significant operational progress in the past year, with rather less appreciation than is deserved for a company set to be one of international significance.

For instance, the market still behaves as if SVML does not have a Tier 1 Kasiya Rutile-Graphite Project in Malawi, does not have Rio Tinto (RIO) as a strategic investor, and will not be the world’s largest, lowest cost and lowest-emissions producer of two critical minerals – titanium and graphite. However, it has been progressing towards the latter goal, with frequent, solid newsflow in recent months.

Of late the company announced that it has started backfilling the pit at Kasiya, following successful mining trials stage at the programme, and reminded us that its cash position has been bolstered by an additional AUD19 million invested by Rio Tinto PLC, as the mining giant now has a 20% stake in the company. One would expect all of this to sink in well before the end of 2025, and for the 100p target to be fulfilled in consequence.

SVML in 2025
I will start with a little background to what I am about to post which appeared on the Metal Tiger ADVFN thread last September. Metal Tiger became Strata Holdings when it moved its listing to Australia. In August 2024:

“ STRATA INVESTMENT HOLDINGS PLC TO ACQUIRE SCP RESOURCE FINANCE

hxxps://www.listcorp.com/asx/srt/strata-investment-holdings-plc/news/acquisition-of-scp-resource-finance-3073880.html

The Company's securities are currently suspended from quotation on ASX and, subject to shareholder approval being obtained, will remain suspended until the Company has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and the Acquisition has been completed”. The suspension is due to end this month.

Then on 13/9/24 I noticed the following in an SVML RNS:

“ Sovereign Metals Limited (ASX: SVM, AIM: SVML, OTCQX: SVMLF) (Sovereign or the Company) advises that it has issued 2,326,880 fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) in the capital of the Company, comprising of 1,290,392 Shares issued to Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited (Rio Tinto) and 1,036,488 Shares issued to SCP Resource Finance, as an advisory fee of 3% on the amount of Rio Tinto's option investment in July 2024 (refer to Company announcement on 3 July 2024).

An application will be made for the Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM (Admission) and it is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 19 September 2024.”

Rick Rule is a shareholder in Strata and the largest shareholder in Sprott. Sprott is a large shareholder in SVML.Rick Rule is only interested in 10 bagger probabilities. This Strata aquisition looks very promising and as a holder of Strata and SVML I am feeling confident that both will do well.

Having established that Rick Rule is involved in all 3 companies this takes me to a valuation of SVLP that was contained in a report by Charles Archer in September 2024:

“ “ Third, while SVML retains the operational competence to build the mine and is therefore itself the competitive tension with Rio Tinto, this pilot plant is very clearly the due diligence the major needs to see completed on the deposit before making an outright offer.

While Sovereign may protest that this is all simply to accelerate and improve their own DFS, Rio’s version of a DFS will be in a different class to the junior, and it will want to take the reins before we get to this stage.

My prediction is that Rio Tinto will make a full takeover offer within the next 12 months. I think it's worth finishing with a quote from legendary resource investor Rick Rule, in a recent interview with the company's Chief Commercial Officer:

'What you need to understand, is that ultimately, a deposit this size acquires strategic value. If it sells, it will sell at a premium to net present value because the users understand the critical importance of a deposit of this size and scale.'

The net present value, before any improvements, stands at a little over $1.6 billion”
If Rick Rule is right,which he usually is SVML is at least a 5 bagger on a takeover. So if we say SCP’s shares in SVML are currently worth circa £300000, on a takeover by Rio they would be worth £1.5 million. The share price of SCML in September 2024 was in the low 30p range which would price a Rio bid this year at north of £1.50. This would be a good return but if SVML went it alone, which seems unlikely in view of the current agreements in place with Rio, we would be looking at a 10 bagger in a few years time on production.
