South Africa’s AMD/wastewater is ‘mineable’ – Turton JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Consideration should be given to studying the economic feasibility of “mining” South Africa’s problematic acid mine drainage (AMD) and wastewater for metals, minerals, salt and even hydrogen, says Touchstone Resources director Dr Anthony Turton. Turton is a protagonist not only of “mining” AMD, but also the water in sewage works and obtaining phosphate, which is crucial for food security, as a byproduct. “Sewage works can start becoming phosphate mines,” he says. Last year, environmental solutions developer Earth Metallurgical Solutions (EMS) reported that it had successfully recovered metal nitrates from AMD.

The most favorable place for penny shares to be listed is on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM).

Some companies may be listed on the London Stock Exchange's (LSE) Main Market - what most people would identify as 'the UK stock market'. The main market differs from AIM in that the company would need a minimum market capitalisation as well as having a minimum of 25% of its shares in the public domain. The LSE will also only admit companies with a 3 year historical trading history.
