It will be interesting to see the share price for this and the further crowdfund raiseā¦I have 5000 shares at 20p / share I thinkā¦so fingers crossed for an increaseā¦

I thought the Cornish Lithium crowd fund was at 9p / share and large investment in recent days at 20p / share. So an uplift, but not massive.
Theyāve done (at least) two (3 maybe?) crowd fund rounds. The one I invested in was 9p, the subsequent one was at 20p. All things considered I think holding that valuation is decent. I canāt remember if the first techmet investment was at 20p or somewhere between the two.
Going back through the Legal review documents on Cornish Lithium - share prices from rounds Iāve invested.
10/2020: Ā£0.090362.
05/2020: Ā£0.05. (rounded on email)
08/2019: Ā£0.05315

doubledā¦so thats not too bad
Oh cool. I though there was only one round before I invested. So there must have been 4 crowd fund rounds so far then.
I donāt think Iāll be investing again @20p. Thatās also because Iām quite heavily invested in lithium mines and juniors already via Pilbara, Atlantic and a couple of other tiny holdings.
Also fund raise at 16p around 06/2021
Never look a gift horse in the mouth? Iāll be finding cash down the back of the settee to invest again. How often in life do you get a free goal to shoot at? When it comes to mining and pharmaceuticals where all along the road anything can go wrong. Well this investment has the backing of no less the government and a couple of other big backers. I can honestly see x10 plus return anytime after 2025 (as long as the demonstrator is a success)
Certainly thatās one perspective, but as you say itās very capital intense and lots of things can go wrong along the way.
Just received an update about Cowboy as they are closing off their last round. They have proactively upgraded the share class of all crowd investors, even if not participating in the last round to become preference shares. Cowboy started their crowd funding journey really really badly but do seem to have got better at comms and how to respect the crowd. Unless Iām missing something major

If they have any EIS they wouldnāt be able to do it I believe.
They are a Belgium based business so never been any EIS.

Cornish is now listed as ācoming soonā on Crowdcube. Wonder which valuation they will use for the roundā¦
The retail offer was discussed in a notice from the 10th Aug. For existing and new shareholders its looking like it will be at 20p per share - in line with the recent transaction price

So Ā£180m as the Times suggested?
Interested to see more operational information. One of the reports mentioned 7,800 tonnes from Trelavour alone, which at current spot prices is over Ā£200m a year.

They raised far too much money at a far too high valuation during the peaks of the market and theyāre trying to raise at an even higher valuation. The campaign is the perfect example of Seedrs misrepresentation: Ā£3,083,755.26 is from previous fundraises and this campaignās target (Ā£3.2m) represents an additional Ā£100k. The Ā£3m was already reflected in their company accounts for 2022 because the capital is that old (āreceivedā in 2023 is doing a lot of heavy lifting). The founder owns barely 1/10th of the company. They borrowed money too, after spending multi-millions to build a bottling plant and are burning hundreds of thousands per month. Theyāll be in administration within a year.
