JV ... HC Starck rumours?Regarding a putative JV or take over down the line... Someone just posted a quick report from the frankfurt ressource conference. Apparently, Chris (CG) mentioned that something is in the pipe with HC Starck
David1946: I gues you are right with the consolidation - if you want to use this term - however, one indeed should not play cute right now

Here some stuff from the report in the German boards (source: https://www.ariva.de/COMMERCE_RESOURCES_0_208_t265608)
...
CG: Did Sven Olsson answer your Questions?
089MUC: No, I couldn´t get any information, I did not have before. I´m actually well informed about the resource expansion and theese details. I´m more interested in new informations.
CG: Besides the new definition of our resources there are some more activities going on...
089MUC: A Takeover? For example I would be very interested about rumours about a takeover, as I am heavily invested in Commerce. I mean, there are not even a handfull companies for a takeover - like H.C. Starck for example...
CG zog wortlos einen Prospekt raus, schlug ihn auf und zeigt auf die Verarbeitungskette vom Tantalrohstof bis zum Konensator. Und legte seinen Finger auf den Namen H.C. Stark.
Translation: CG pulled a magazine out of his bag and pointed at a company covering the processing from Ta to condensators before pointing at the HC Starck ...
CG: He was recently visiting us. -....- There is something in the line. -....- It would be about 1 Billion.
About stock letters ...
CG: that is Sascha Opel (und zwei weitere Personen, deren Namen mir entfallen waren) - the people from Rohstoffraketen. They have covered Blue Pearl Mining too. -..smalltalk..- We will try to repeat the success of Blue Pearl Mining...
Soweit in aller Kürze. Nach meiner bescheidenen Meinung kommt nur eine Übernahme oder ein Joint Venture mit H.C. Starck in Frage. Ich hoffe nur, dass Commerce eine solche vertikale Integration des Produktionsprozesses auch wirklich stemmen kann.
Gruss an alle Investierten!
