JRV - Jervois Global

Jump to new
as is written....

If equity markets showed as much enthusiasm for cobalt as Western governments have this year, Jervois Global chief executive Bryce Crocker would be a happier man.

Crocker’s ASX-listed battery minerals play has been at the centre of a taxpayer-funded bidding war since the United States offered $US15 million ($22.7 million) for the company to shift its cobalt refining growth plans from Finland to North America.

The Finnish government hit back in June, offering Jervois €12 million ($19.6 million) to return to its original growth strategy: the plan to double the size of the company’s existing refinery near the Finnish port of Kokkola.

The Finnish refinery is the only one of its kind outside China, producing close to 10 per cent of the battery-grade cobalt needed to power the world’s electric vehicle fleet.

Expanding an existing, revenue-generating asset like Kokkola is normally more attractive than building a greenfield project from scratch. But the sheer weight of money on offer from the US for critical minerals has tempted Jervois to favour the North American option, which could align with a plan to reopen a dormant cobalt mine in Idaho.
 
A few tipsters picked JRV in the 2023 Yearly Comp. By the end of the year it had lost 83.66%, so it has now been tagged as one of the 4 Dogs in 2023 Comp.

So we'll keep an eye on it this year so see how it goes. Since the start of this year 2024 it hasn't been a great start now down 31.82% this month already.

Nothing has changed here, it's down -43.18% so far this year and naturally the Short and Long term trends are down.

Jervois commences U.S. Department of Defense funded drilling at ICO's RAM deposit

Jervois Global Limited (“Jervois”) (ASX: JRV) (TSX-V: JRV) (OTC: JRVMF) has commenced the underground resource extension programme at the RAM deposit at its 100%-owned Idaho Cobalt Operations (“ICO”) in Idaho, U.S., via local contractors Small Mine Development and Major Drilling, funded under a US$15M agreement with the U.S. Government.

The RAM resource extension programme has completed approximately 50% of the underground exploration drift and step-out drilling to define potential extension of the existing RAM mineral resource has commenced.

Based on the existing US$15.0 million Agreement Funding, Jervois direct expenditure for the resource extension programme including exploration development drifts, drilling, logging, assaying, MRE modelling and other related Jervois supervision costs through Q4 2024, are fully funded by the U.S. DoD.

The Agreement Funding is under the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization office of Industrial Base Policy using the U.S. Defense Production Act Title III authorities and utilises funds from the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act.

oh well, there's always social media. !

1. No
2. Not Applicable
3. If the answer to question 1 is “no”, is there any other explanation that JRV may have for the recent trading in its securities?
The Company is aware of multiple social media posts attempting to falsely link previously announced U.S Government funding of our Idaho Cobalt Operations with the water rights of Idaho farmers and claimed individual U.S. politicians investment in the Company.
While we have publicly disclosed receipt of funding for ICO from the U.S. Government and are awaiting responses to additional applications for funding, we are not aware of any such investment in Jervois by U.S. politicians nor that our ICO operations impact negatively the water rights of any Idaho farmers. Accordingly, we have not responded to these social media posts.

4. In Compliance

Dear Ash
Re: Request for Information

We refer to your letter dated 21 June 2024 and as requested set out below the Company’s response to your questions as follows:

1. Is JRV aware of any information concerning it that has not been announced to the market which, if known by some in the market, could explain the recent trading in its securities?

No. The Company is not aware of any information concerning it that has not been announced to the market, which if known by some in the market, could explain the recent trading in the Company’s securities.

2. If the answer to question 1 is “yes”.

(a) Is JRV relying on Listing Rule 3.1A not to announce that information under Listing Rule 3.1? Please note that the recent trading in JRV’s securities would suggest to ASX that such information may have ceased to be confidential and therefore JRV may no longer be able to rely on Listing Rule 3.1A. Accordingly, if the answer to this question is “yes”, you need to contact us immediately to discuss the situation.

(b) Can an announcement be made immediately? Please note, if the answer to this question is “no”, you need to contact us immediately to discuss requesting a trading halt (see below).

(c) If an announcement cannot be made immediately, why not and when is it expected that an announcement will be made?

Not Applicable

3. If the answer to question 1 is “no”, is there any other explanation that JRV may have for the recent trading in its securities?

The Company is aware of multiple social media posts attempting to falsely link previously announced U.S Government funding of our Idaho Cobalt Operations (ICO) with the water rights of Idaho farmers and claimed individual U.S. politicians investment in the Company. While we have publicly disclosed receipt of funding for ICO from the U.S. Government and are awaiting responses to additional applications for funding, we are not aware of any such investment in Jervois by U.S. politicians nor that our ICO operations impact negatively the water rights of any Idaho farmers. Accordingly, we have not responded to these social media posts

4. The Company confirms it is complying with the Listing Rules and, in particular, Listing Rule 3.1.

5. The Company confirms its responses to the questions above have been authorised and approved by the Disclosure Committee of Jervois Global Limited.

Unbelievable, it touched it's lowest price ever again this month (0.014) after doing it in May/June and it wouldn't surprise me to see it go under that support line. Down a further -65.91% this year so far.

US$24.5M loan. How long ill that tied them over for?

​
Jervois Global Limited (“Jervois”) (ASX: JRV) (TSX-V: JRV) (OTC: JRVMF) advises it has secured from its lender under the Jervois Finland Working Capital Facility (the “JFO Facility”) a US$24.5 million increase in the limit for the delayed draw term loan (the “Term Loan”), first announced on 9 September 2024. This increases the Term Loan limit to US$32.0 million, with US$7.5 million drawn to-date. ​
​
US$8.0 million of the Term Loan limit increase is available to be drawn in accordance with Jervois’ budgetary needs, including all parties restructuring costs, prior to 14 December 2024. A further US$16.5 million is available to be drawn thereafter, again in accordance with Jervois’ budgetary needs including restructuring, and subject to certain milestones in relation to potential transactions to recapitalise Jervois’ balance sheet. Due diligence and negotiations continue to advance in respect of these potential restructuring transactions. ​
​
The JFO Facility maturity date, including Term Loan, is extended to 31 March 2025. In exchange for access to an increased Term Loan, Jervois has agreed that whilst the Term Loan remains in place, the JFO Facility limit will be reduced from US$150 to US$100 million. The Term Loan is incorporated into the terms of the JFO Facility, which in addition to the Term Loan, has a current outstanding balance of US$44.1 million. ​
​
Waivers under the JFO Facility and US$100 million 12.5% Idaho Cobalt Operations senior secured bonds (“ICO Bonds”) were extended in October, per the Jervois announcement “Extensions to Waivers under Jervois Debt Facilities” on 16 October 2024. The current waiver outside date under the JFO Facility and ICO Bonds has been further extended to 31 December 2024. For the ICO Bond extension to be implemented will require approval of at least 2/3 of the principal amount of the ICO Bonds. The process to obtain the necessary written resolution of the ICO bondholders will commence, and is expected to be passed, in the coming days, as the majority holder has agreed that its more than 2/3 of the principal amount of the ICO Bonds will approve the amendment. ​
​
Jervois current cash balance is US$9.8 million1 and drawn senior debt is US$151.6 million.​
