Manuka Resources Interview: Where cash flows and blue sky potential come together

September 19th, 2022

  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Vanadium
  • Energy

ASX listed Manuka Resources combines the stability of a producer and the opportunity of a growth company. Its two projects producing gold and silver generate cash flows on the one hand yet have enormous potential for further development on the other - no wonder the gold resource in particular continues to grow despite increasing production volumes. Recently, the well-connected management team achieved another coup acquiring a very large iron sands and vanadium project in New Zealand. The South Taranaki Bight project (STB project) hosts a VTM iron sands deposit (vanadium, titanomagnetite iron sands) with outstanding PFS economics, unique environmental credentials and is scheduled to be in production within a few years. Even today, vanadium is to infrastructure projects and utility energy storage, what lithium is to electromobility, ie: absolutely critical. We talked to Dennis Karp, Executive Chairman of Manuka Resources, about the prospects and facts surrounding Manuka’s project portfolio.

  • Oligopoly
  • Turkey
  • Turkye
  • Batteries

Batteries for electric cars, fuel cells, wind turbines, solar panels, LCD screens and fertilizers: Boron is versatile and hardly replaceable. So far, two players share 75% of the market and are making a killing. Erin Ventures has a boron project in Serbia and recently published convincing key economic data. The only other major players in Boron are the government owned Eti Maden in Turkey, and Rio Tinto in California. Thanks to the figures, Erin even managed to attract a joint venture partner, at the project level, in these challenging times to take on financing risks and minimize future dilution for shareholders. CEO Tim Daniels talks about the market for boron and the opportunities for Erin Ventures, which is only in the single digits.

  • Drug
  • Self-healing

Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease or even strokes have something in common with spinal cord injury: they damage the nervous system. This makes them all incredibly difficult to treat. But a therapeutic breakthrough finally seems possible. In the 1990s, Dr. Jerry Silver discovered the root cause for why debilitating damage to the central nervous system cannot be repaired. What was a revolutionary discovery at the time is now accepted science. The NervGen team, which has exclusively licensed the technology that came from Dr. Silver’s lab, is now at an exciting time in the development of a potentially paradigm changing milestone, based on his 30 years of important work. The breakthrough could come as early as next year. We talk about NervGen's approach and plans for a Nasdaq listing with NervGen Executive Chairman Bill Radvak.
