Kibo Energy Plc (dual listed KIBO:AIM, JSE:KBO) a renewable, reserve energy, LDES and biofuel corp., last week announced a repriced warrant offer that should unblock arious decision mechanisms (including spinoffs), which would be in the interest of the majority of investors.

Silver Thematic ACF Equity Research 11082022

Silver (Ag) is half store of value and half industrial metal. A hawkish Federal Reserve and spiking bond yields will create significant headwinds for the Ag price 2H22E. Any expectations for global recession, leading to an industrial cycle downturn will  also push the silver price down. In 2H22E we assess that both weakening industrial activity (>50% of global silver demand) and monetary policy trends will exert downward pressure on silver’s price. Beyond YE22E the physical silver supply deficit...

Greenland mining

Unloved…Unknown…But Excellent? Greenland’s extraordinary potential for critical raw materials mining was again recognized in 2023, this time by the Centre for Minerals and Materials (MiMa, report published in June 2023). Greenland's stated aim is to attract greater (and sustainable) exploration and ultimately mining interest in Greenland’s estimated 400k km2 ice-free land blocks. Greenland's mineral potential is considered…vast.
