Any holders out there - there's some buying going on.....

Good timing of the news release I was beginning to think the sp was in make or break today. Upwards and go!

Possible climb up to 80p coming, and not too soon !

Although it was flat today its encouraging 225k buy late.



I think the falling trend since July last year has been broken

Interesting to see sp testing and finding support today. Looking at above graph it bounced off 69p mark which looks like it above downward trend line. Rather bullish i would say. Hopefully it will stay above tomorrow.

Still no news of any significant development of their resources only the usual super holes in the ground ,getting a bit boreing.

Halifax

Dont know if you have seen this, potentially impressive for long term

I think we have take off here...about time...Tom Winnifriths thinks that the sum of the parts is worth in excess of 200p and a serious possible takeover target for ore hungry major mining companies !

What have we got here ?...JLP jumping up a bit...must hope that it does not retrace now.

Anyone know why JLP has been drifting southwards for days and days?

Lack of fresh news, all we seem to get from them is yet another drilling report or something to do with a feasibility study - nothing really tangible.

Spotted a mention in weekend FT edition in the money section by Patrick Mathurin. It says that the Company has been punished by concerns that power shortages in South Africa will threaten projects and that sp has dropped accordingly. Article goes on to say that this doesn't spell disaster since the market price of its metals have increased, resulting in a higher valuation of the Company. As power issue calms, Company can ramp up its production and benefit from the higher prices. Jubilee has also received approval to increase interest in its Tjate project in eastern Bushveld. This is important as Tjate remains one of the last significant Platinum resources in the area not controlled by a major mining group. Given recent market consolidation, its high grade deposits and record Platinum prices , larger Companies could find it alluring.

How is JLP ramping up its production when it isnt producing anything? More journo ramping perhaps!

It's the sort of company where nothing happens to the sp for years and then a big company takes a stake and then whooosh !, the share price rockets...(all supposition, but it could happen !), I'm hoping as I'm in.

Yes we all like "jam tomorrow" shares!

Thanks Guscavalier. I guess it's going to be a waiting game.

Jubilee Platinum said it has raised its beneficial interest in Tjate Platinum Corp (Pty) Ltd. to 63 percent from 48.72 percent after it got approval from the South African Reserve Bank to purchase all 5,300 of the 'A' preference shares in New Plats (Tjate) Proprietary Ltd.

The purchase consideration is 71.4 million rand ($8.9 million) by way of issue to New Plats shareholders of 8,016,669 Jubilee ordinary shares - representing 7.09 percent of its enlarged issued share capital - at a price of 8.91 rand or 63 pence per ordinary share.

Although I know JLP are targeting other metals, just a note of caution over the future of platinum:
"Platinum demand by the automotive sector would have been much higher than 4.23 million ounces, except that the industry aggressively responded to the increasing input costs for platinum by remanufacturing catalytic converters for gasoline engines to use much cheaper palladium instead of platinum. Yet the automotive industry has not been able to substitute away from platinum as easily for its diesel engines catalytic converters. But with prices on the order of $2,069/ounce, the industry has a powerful incentive to invest in new technologies for emission control that will reduce the industry's need for the white metal.

With production of this scarce metal so heavily concentrated in one country, any disruptions in South African supplies of platinum would have an immediate effect on world prices. When South Africa experienced power shortages in March 2008 and had to curtail power to the platinum mines, the price of the white metal reached its all-time peak. Unfortunately, South Africa has an aging power infrastructure, so power shortages and temporary disruptions will likely persist for at least the next five years, if not longer. Even rumors of power disruptions in South Africa could trigger periodic spikes in platinum prices for years to come.

The crux of the issue for platinum holders is how the see-saw of prices, demand and supply will tilt in the coming years. According to many industry analysts, the current high prices and worries about "supply shocks" from disruptions in South Africa are rapidly pushing industrial users of platinum to look for other approaches. If prices stay high - or if a combination of power shortages, ETF demand and other factors push prices higher still - that could ultimately lay the groundwork for a significant long-term drop in prices and total demand."

jubilee certainly has tanked,but in common with most mining stocks seems to now be on the up.
What is the outlook.
up over 10% today

Looks like a good double bottom breakout has occurred. Have I missed the boat?
