Investment Case
Our key strengths drive our investment case. We offer investors exposure to a future-focused energy commodity – both through our primary vanadium production facilities and our investments in the energy storage value chain.
Green Commodity
A GREEN, FUTURE-FOCUSED COMMODITY, WITH ATTRACTIVE FUNDAMENTALS
-
As a strengthening alloy in steel manufacturing, vanadium increases the efficiency of steel production, while reducing the global fossil carbon footprint by 0,4%.
-
Vanadium’s application in stationary energy storage, through vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), promotes the integration of renewable energy sources, while increasing the efficiency of electricity grids.
-
VRFB technology supports the global transition to clean energy and emits fewer CO₂ than competing storage technologies.
-
Demand for vanadium, which is underpinned by its use as a strengthening alloy in the steel sector, is expected to increase at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3,1% through to 2030.
-
Vanadium demand from VRFBs is expected to grow by a CAGR of 41% by 2031.
-
Supply remains concentrated and constrained, with new primary supply from greenfields projects expected to be limited.
-
The vanadium chemistry of the VRFB is fully reusable and recyclable at the end of the battery’s life.
Market Leader
Our mission is to become a leading vanadium company.
-
Bushveld Minerals is one of only three operating primary vanadium producers.
-
We own two of the world’s four operating primary vanadium processing facilities.
-
We possess a diversified vanadium product portfolio to serve our customers around the world.
-
Our vertical integration business model allows us to mine, process and manufacture vanadium-based products in a single value chain – in the most efficient manner.
-
Our significant interest in a downstream vanadium-based energy storage platform enables us to participate in this rapidly growing industry.
-
The growth of the VRFB industry can support vanadium demand and contribute to minimising volatility in the vanadium price.
Investment
We have invested substantial long-term capital.
-
After extensive capital investment, refurbishment, and optimisation of Vametco, it is operating consistently and sustainably, and producing at a steady state.
-
Refurbishment and stabilisation of Vanchem will help the operation to produce at a significantly increased production level.
-
We have increased production over time and are well positioned to delivery further growth.
-
We are targeting a sustainable production run rate of 5 000 mtV - 5 400 mtV over the near-term, with a continued focus on improving efficiencies and driving cost-saving initiatives.
Solid Asset Base
solid asset base & potential to grow production
-
Our 546 Mt (100% basis) JORC-compliant resource is one of the world’s largest primary vanadium deposits, and it offers significant growth potential.
-
Bushveld Minerals’ ore bodies are large, long-life, opencast deposits, with grades of 1,6% - 2% V₂O₅ in-magnetite, which are among the highest in the world.
-
Our diverse range of vanadium products gives us flexibility to maximise sales and profit margins according to market demand.
Simplified Structure
SIMPLIFICATION OF THE GROUP STRUCTURE TO DELIVERY SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS
-
The carve-out of Bushveld Energy into a standalone energy storage focused company, will allow the new entity to attract the appropriate energy storage focused investors, and achieve a market valuation that is more reflective of underlying value.
-
The sale of Bushveld Minerals’ interest in CellCube (also referred to as Enerox GmbH / Enerox) to LSE-listed Mustang Energy Plc (Mustang), is an important part of the group’s process to carve-out Bushveld Energy.
-
With a simpler structure, Bushveld Minerals will streamline its organisational model and narrow its operational focus on its upstream assets and Bushveld Electrolyte Company (BELCO), while retaining a shareholding in Mustang.
-
Following the carve-out, Bushveld Minerals will be well positioned to optimise its financing while delivering stronger growth and margins.
improved Capital Structure
IMPROVED CAPITAL STRUCTURE FOLLOWING THE CONVERTIBLE LOAN NOTE RESTRUCTURING
-
Restructuring of the Orion Mine Finance (Orion) convertible loan note will help reduce the overhang on the stock from potential dilution.
-
Determine a sustainable capital structure in relation to the group’s operations and longer-term growth ambitions
The upside potential of Bushveld Minerals’ high-grade deposits and refurbished processing facilities offers investors an attractive opportunity to gain exposure to vanadium through our vertically-integrated model.
