Interesting little company. Did a series of asset swops to leave them with half of the 4th largest Nickel deposit in the world.
The deposit itself is in the Philippines has been known about for 30 years but due to low prices and lack of demand in the Far East it was never exploited. With the explosion in demand from India and China the nickel price has climbed from $2 to $6.50 but oddly enough is still considered low.
The final approval stage for exploitation is just about to be approved and extraction will begin. The company already has one contract with a Japanese smelter and is in discussions with smelters in a series of countries.
Nothing clever about the operation, as the ore is of sufficiently high grade, they dig it up and ship it out. Infrastrucure is already in place for operation.
TMC is currently priced at 18m, the initial Japanese contract is worth 4m and each additional contract will hopefully be at this level or greater.
Final approval turns the company into a producer and each additional contract simply increases their size.
The management is tight with cash and has some good quality mining skills onboard.
The Philippine government is fast tracking the final approval and the company says it expects it shortly.
One to hold for approval and through the series of RNS's as more contracts are won. Company should be worth 50m in 6 months and 100m in 12-18 months.
Buy it, ignore it, just pointing this one out.

oilrag, if you are so bullish on this stock and arranging a party for when TMC hit's 20 pounds, why did you sell stock?

Expert, Because having held for so long and with large recent gains since Jan this year, I was watching my investment reduce in value after the MPSA announcement when it should then have started rising. With shorters starting to get involved and MM's taking every opportunity to slate the stock, I realised that the only person not making any money on this was me. So, I decide to consolidate my position by selling a few and to take advantage of increasing my holdings at the right price. With regard to my outlook for TMC, this hasn't changed other than to say that there will be a slight reduction in end values as the price of nickel reduces.

So, in that case buy it and hold for a while.

you do not have to buy per the quoted spread (currently 220/232) ..... phone your broker and get him to place the order at your chosen level ...... do not be surprised if it gets filled

interesting scenario .... just tried to buy 3000 @ 217 via by CFD broker .... unfortunately their clients already hold about 4% which is their limit so was not allowed to do.
if you can get in at 217, don't reckon you will be far wrong as the fundamentals certainly have not changed, and any fall in base nickel will only have a marginal and short-term effect on sp

Think I said 250 was on the cards on the TA thread in response to Fliper's request.

Edit: Talking crap (again!) I did say 200p, to be exact - '200p is a distinct possibility'
