With all the good news of the last few weeks and Q4 being a traditional strong season for PGMs, this can only go up I would imagine!

Nice 7.7% Rise On The Up !

Eurasia Mining released an RNS this morning with an interesting comment given THS is an established PGM producer : Eurasia notes an increased interest from refineries seeking Platinum Group Minerals ("PGM") and copper/nickel concentrates fueled by a tightening in the international supply of quality concentrates. The status-quo situation of recent years is reversing and refineries, reacting to a looming shortage of quality feedstocks, are reaching for quality upstream assets. This is well demonstrated by a recent transaction in the PGM and copper/nickel refining space over the Kevitsa Mine in Finland (270 kilometres West of Monchetundra) purchased by Boliden for a cash consideration of $712 million.

A round pound paid.

[novicetrade68] 31/8/2017 08:17

More good news, two pieces no less.

And this is also worth a listen imo. http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/stocktube/7993/shiny-new-5yr-deal-with-the-chinese-for-tharisa-7993.html Shiny new 5yr deal with the Chinese for Tharisa Share 14:27 24 Aug 2017 Platinum group metals and chrome producer Tharisa (LON:THA) is reflecting on it's new five year agreement to supply 240,000 tonnes of metallurgical- grade chrome concentrate to the Chinese for its huge stainless steels industry. CEO Phoevos Pouroulis told us the deal represents about 25% of Tharisa production and he said, ''Its been encouraging to note that spot chrome prices have increased on the back of stainless steel production improvements". Tharisa has been working with TISCO, an existing Chinese partner for years and this is a natural progression for them within the industry.

Tharisa signs five-year chrome supply agreement with Tisco 24TH AUGUST 2017 BY: ANINE KILIAN CONTRIBUTING EDITOR ONLINE SAVE THIS ARTICLE EMAIL THIS ARTICLE FONT SIZE: -+ JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Platinum group metals and chrome coproducer Tharisa Minerals has entered into a five-year strategic cooperation agreement with steel producer Taiyuan Iron & Steel (Tisco’s) joint venture (JV) company Shanxi Taigang Wanbang Furnace Charge. Under the terms of the agreement, Tharisa will supply the JV with a minimum of 240 000 t/y of chrome, representing about 25% of Tharisa’s targeted production of one-million tonnes of metallurgical grade chrome concentrate. The supply contract will start in September. More stringent environmental regulations in China have meant the ferrochrome industry has started switching from open and semi-closed furnaces to more efficient and environment-friendly technologies such as those that use sintering and pelletising. Tisco produces about four-million tons of stainless steel a year and, through its JV, has installed 700 000 t/y of ferrochrome sintering and pelletising capacity, in Finland, producing about 300 000 t/y of ferrochrome. The stainless steel producer is considering a Phase 2 expansion of its Outokumpu ferrochrome sintering and pelletising plant, which would increase its ferrochrome production to 450 000 t/y and, subsequently, increase its requirements for metallurgical chrome concentrate. “The cooperation agreement further cements our position in the Chinese market and bolsters our order book,” Tharisa CEO Phoevos Pouroulis said in a statement on Thursday.

Is Tharisa on the turn ! GLA Longs

[novicetrade68] 24/8/2017 09:08

I agree, it's just a very interesting tell-tale sign that this Chinese company now all of a sudden wants to formalise its relationship with THS and secure supply. A few months back chrome was trading around $130-$150/t and now it's above $200 again.

[paleje] 24/8/2017 08:31

I was thinking that, 5 yr agreement to buy at market price suggests to me the Chinese are expecting the chrome surplus to reverse. The NED buying last month caught my attention too.

[novicetrade68] 24/8/2017 08:17

Interesting news today, may well be back to at least a pound soon, especially given the strength of chrome prices.

[ny boy] 18/7/2017 23:39

I'll have a few at 40p, chart looks dreadful. Catch a falling knife etc

[whitehunter] 18/7/2017 22:33

Thanks - Telegraph article is probably the reason. Talk about shooting investors/investment in the foot. Destruction of value is not good for anyone regardless of race or percentage holding.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/06/15/miners-ready-legal-challenge-south-africa-publishes-mining-charter/amp/ Policies that favour blacks over anyone else. Not exactly democratic. Ok, we know what happened in the past with apartheid, and there is no excuse for that, but this is modern times where everyone should be treated equal.

[amunro] 18/7/2017 21:24

I am puzzled too. I know Tharisa is also listed on the South African stock exchange and wonder if South Africans know something we don't? Googling doesnt find anything. Can only think its a combination of poor platinum/chrome prices and issues of transferring staff and machinery to Tharisa? Lots of problems ahead?

[whitehunter] 18/7/2017 19:27

Anyone know why these shares have fallen badly recently?

[armunro] 12/7/2017 10:20

They added another 4M shares today as per the rns: Following this issue, Tharisa will hold 1 033 576 shares in treasury to make provision for the potential requirement to allot shares in the event of participants in the TSAP exercising vested Appreciation Rights. Wonder what that is about? Taken on lots of workers and thus need more shares to give them? 4M is not much compared to the number of shares issued.

[novicetrade68] 10/7/2017 18:34

Lots of Director/Employee buying recently, added a few myself too in the expectation of going back to at least a quid short term.

[naughtynicky72] 06/7/2017 14:20

Buys coming in hopefully will lift this up from the bottom off the pit !

[armunro] 01/7/2017 05:29

I am surprised too. Gone ex dividend and bringing everything in house? Cant think it can go lower so maybe a buying opportunity?

[naughtynicky72] 23/6/2017 16:40
