Frustrating to see @Afritin_Mining trade underwater, ~5.2p average.

Tin pushing to record highs again, yet #ATM flounders 25% below the recent £13m placing at 6.0p.

Phase 1 Expansion at the Uis Mine in Namibia completes mid next year. This will be transformational for ATM.

1/6
At the current tin price ⬆️, Uis running at nameplate capacity of 1,200 tpa (post ongoing expansion works) would be generating circa £26m EBITDA on circa £36m revs.

The pilot tantalum plant to come online in next few months will provide incremental revs (although at this... 2/6
...stage, unknown), which could grow considerably. Lithium oxide should also come online at Uis Phase 1 - perhaps later next year.

At the current tin price, the expanded Uis Phase 1 (without Ta or Li credits) will have an NPV of $70m to $80m, v. #ATM's current EV of $61m.

3/6
But the real investment proposition is in Uis Phase 2, which could see tin output expanded by c.8x, to 10,000 tpa (not to mention the Ta / Li credits, that @Afritin_Mining's mgmt has stated could ultimately make up half of the project's annual revenue).

#ATM believes that... 4/6
...total annual revenue from Uis Phase 2 could exceed $500m (and that's in a significantly lower pricing environment).

The expansion may require $150m to $200m in capex... But Uis Phase 1 running at nameplate capacity, generating £20m+ EBITDA pa, could be leveraged to... 5/6
...source a big chunk of that capex, esp. if Phase 2 is also built out in stages.

The key will be in how equity dilution is minimized, to achieve Phase 2 build out.

If managed well?

$500m annual rev biz, at 60%+ EBITDA margin...

versus #ATM's current mkt cap of £51m.

🤷‍♂️

6/6

The portfolio cornerstone, @avacta #AVCT, now down 6% YTD - having been +154% (290p) in April.

The PF is now more heavily weighted than ever to the stock, primarily for the impending AVA6000 data.

Acutely aware that it's a high risk strategy, but have immense conviction.

1/11
Four potential indicators to look out for in the coming weeks / months that #AVCT's targeted chemotherapy platform is working:

1) Additional hospitals start recruiting.

If the first patient(s) of the first cohort was experiencing the side-effects...2/11

clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04…
...associated with standard doxorubicin, the trial may have been halted already.

On that note, St. James's University Hospital started recruiting, AFTER #AVCT's CEO stated he was "very pleased with the positive progress", re: the first patient at Royal Marsden.

A few more added to the ever-growing @Tirupatiuk holding just now.

The SP is 30% off recent highs, and is still below where it was, pre-acquisition of the Mozambique projects.

Nonsensical. The deal will give #TGR geographical diversification; a broader product range... 1/8
...(the new projects will add small flake graphite to #TGR's offering); a resource base several multiples larger; and, of course, will give @Tirupatiuk much greater production volumes in the medium term.

TGR was already targeting 84 ktpa output in Madagascar; the two new... 2/8
...projects would bring into the fold a potential further 158 ktpa in Mozambique. A 188% increase in total target output for #TGR, over the medium term.

Since the acquisition news, TGR has also brought online its second plant in Madagascar, increasing nameplate capacity... 3/8

Great meeting with @kalhourd today.

@guildesports #GILD is making all the right steps, is expanding incredibly quickly, and winning more trophies than it has had any right to do in its first year of operations.

The Academy could quickly become a key competitive advantage. 1/7
It could create value for #GILD in so many ways. Monthly subscription revs could build quickly - only 17k subscribers would be £1m ARR.

It provides an incredible scouting outlet and feeder system for upcoming talent. Hopefully we’ll see the first academy contracts in the… 2/7
…not too distant. Imagine in a few years’ time #GILD being able to field teams largely or even wholly comprised of Academy-generated talent.

My take on player transfers is that in 2-3 years, Esports transfer values could be 10x the size of what they are today. In 5-7… 3/7

Absolute terror reigns over many #AVCT shareholders this week- simply because @avacta hasn't announced orders for its LFT yet.

Question: would #AVCT be lining up 30m per month capacity overseas, if it thought its existing 5m per month capacity in the UK wouldn't be filled? 1/13
Many seem obsessed with the UK market, thinking that's the be-all and end-all for #AVCT's AffiDX LFT.

My view is that mgmt had turned its back on the UK market several months ago, when it was apparent that there was, at best, complete ineptitude; or, at worst, corruption... 2/13
...at the top of certain UK Gov bodies. I'm referring to both the continued inexplicable support of Innova, and to the stonewalling of @mologic and UK Diagnostics PLC in general.

The FDA's actions against Innova may well have changed #AVCT's stance re: dealing with HMG. 3/13

A must-read article for #AVCT holders ⬇️

University of Leeds (@avacta's academic partner) has been able to bind Affimers to the mutated form of the RAS protein, AKA the Death Star, which is responsible for 20-30% of all cancers.

Huge LT implications for Affimer Therapeutics 1/5
Amy Turner, co-author: "RAS really is the Holy Grail of therapeutic targets. The fact that it has previously been termed 'undruggable' has allowed us to demonstrate the huge impact that our Affimer technology can have when it comes to treating challenging pathologies."

2/5
We have seen in recent months how #AVCT's Affimer Diagnostics platform has outperformed monoclonal antibodies (and other antibody mimetics), in the Affimer-based #COVID19 LFT and ELISA.

Now we have an example of Affimers' superiority (dare I say uniqueness?) in Therapeutics. 3/5

Fabulous to see @guildesports' @taysonFN win the Fortnite Champion Series All-Star Showdown last weekend.

#GILD talent has been a tad subdued on field the past couple of months, but three top 40 finishes (including first place ⬆️) in a major FNCS event is superb.

1/6
As per the Retweet ⬆️, this continued on-field success is critical for the commercial success of @guildesports over the long-term.

Evidently #GILD's set-up - the academy model, the personalised training, the player support - is working wonders.

FNCS victory this weekend...

2/6
...also comes right on the back of #GILD signing its fourth partnership deal in only 8 months - this one with Samsung, which followed Subway in March.

@guildesports has been signing sponsorship deals / partnerships at a rate of approx. one every two months - and those...
