Any of my readers involved with AIM? Are perhaps a NOMAD?
We\’re in the throes of thinking that the time might be right to take the next step with the metals business. At present it\’s tiny, but there have been a number of political and technological* developments meaning that this might be a very good time to raise some cash and build an extraction plant.
The aim (umm, sorry) would be to get in the £8 million to £15 million range (tiny for mining, large for other industries) to build the pilot plant.
Any ideas anyone?
* China limiting rare earths exports, new technology for extracting rare earths and scandium, greater environmental concerns about mining pollution and new uses for scandium in volume.
Do you really want the scrutiny and hassle of AIM? I’d have thought a private funding deal with some hedgies would be better.
can you build a credible business plan? If noit, even AIM is out of the question. you need a VCT company such as 3I….sorry VCT is so 80s…I mean”private equity” boo hiss. But if you had a good plan, i would stump up something because this area is a racing cert.
VC or an equity stake from a mining corp (best bet).
I am not a banker – or even a financial professional, just sticking my oar in.
Engage a banker.
Tim, not to blatantly advertise, but I work for a national UK law firm with a fair bit of AIM/mining experience – if you want a contact for what I am sure would be a no-obligation discussion, let me know and I’ll give you contact details
