BMM - Bayan Mining and Minerals

Balkan Mining and Minerals Limited is a newly incorporated mineral exploration company which is presently focused on the exploration of lithium and borates in the Balkans region of Serbia.

BMM was incorporated on 18 December 2020 as an Australian unlisted public company by its current parent company, Jadar Resources Limited (JDR).

Following a strategic review by Jadar of its assets, Jadar decided to demerge its Serbian assets to the Company. Jadar obtained shareholder approval for the Demerger at the General Meeting held on 19 April 2021.

Jadar currently holds 10,000,000 Shares in the Company, being 100% of the Company’s issued Shares. On completion of the IPO, Jadar will hold an interest of approximately 22% in the Company.

The Company holds interests in the following projects located within the Republic of Serbia:

(a) the Rekovac Project, which comprises three contiguous exploration licences (namely, the Rekovac, Ursule and Siokovac licences) covering an area of approximately 273km2 in the Pomoravlje district of Šumadija and Western Serbia;
(b) the Dobrinja Project, which comprises one exploration licence (the Dobrinja licence) covering an area of 37.58 km2 in the territory of Gornji Milanovac; and
(c) the Pranjani Project, which comprises one exploration licence (the Pranjani licence) covering an area of 25.96 km2 in the territory of Požega.

Balkan Mining and Minerals' Projects do not have defined Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. The Projects are early stage “greenfields” exploration projects covering regions that are considered prospective for lithium and borate minerals. There has been insufficient exploration works at the Rekovac Project to define a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve and no geological exploration works have been undertaken at the Dobrinja Project and Pranjani Projects (due to exploration licences comprising those Project areas having only recently been granted by the Serbian authorities).

It is anticipated that BMM will list on the ASX during July 2021.

and list it did.

BMM came on at 1pm, and has ranged between 32.5c and 37c, closing at a happy stag for some .... 36c on Day One.

and now 80c. That's X4 since listing two months ago.

BMM is about to drill the ‘Rekovac’ lithium project in Serbia, after completing surface mapping.

Their claim is the project “has similar geological settings” to RIO's Jadar deposit

On December 6th, 2024, Balkan Mining and Minerals Limited changed its name to Bayan Mining and Minerals Limited.

BAYAN SECURES TRANSFORMATIVE PATENTS INSOLAR CELL RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY
Highlights
• Bayan has secured an exclusive license from Macquarie University for“Microwave Joule Heating Technology” a microwave-based solar panelrecycling technology, positioning the company at the forefront of sustainableenergy technology solutions
• The Company intends to commence further research and development to assessthe ability to potentially recover valuable metals such as Silver, Silicon, Galliumand Indium.
• The basis of the technology platform utilises microwave technology to soften theEVA encapsulant in solar panels, enabling easy delamination and potentialrecovery of valuable materials at room temperature.
This approach avoids theneed for extreme heat (1400°C) typically required for separating materials likeglass and silicon as well as the use of costly hazardous chemicals in traditionalprocesses.• Delamination enables selective separation of materials without the need formechanical crushing, whereas traditional crushing methods often result in crosscontaminated material and lower recovery rates.
• The breakthrough technology presents a potential novel pathway forimproved recovery of materials such as silver and silicon from solar panels,critical materials underpinning solar and semiconductor technologies.
• By 2035, Australia is expected to accumulate 1 million tonnes of solar panel wasteworth over A$1 billion1, while the global CIGS (Copper, Indium, Gallium, Selenide)solar cell market is projected to grow to US$12.23 billion by 20322.Bayan Mining and Minerals Ltd (ASX: BMM; "BMM" or "the Company") is pleasedto announce that it has reached an agreement to exclusively licence IP from MacquarieUniversity for its Solar Cell Recycling Technology.
A summary of the material terms ofthe agreement are set out in Schedule 1.
This agreement is a key milestone in Bayan’sstrategic growth, enabling the Company to take advantage of a major economicopportunity in the critical mineral recycling/recovery market.1 Clean Energy Council. 2025. https://cleanenergycouncil.org.au/f...recyling-windturbines-solar-panels-batteries2 SkyQuest. 2024. https://www.skyquestt.com/report/copper-indium-gallium-selenide-solar-cell-marketASX ANNOUNCEMENT9 April 20252Bayan Mining and Minerals Limited ABN 67 646 716 681Level 2, 22 Mount Street, Perth WA 6000T: +61 8 6188 8181 E:info@bayanminerals.com.au www.bayanminerals.com.auThe Technology from Macquarie UniversityThe team from the School of Engineering at Macquarie University, led by Dr BineshPuthen Veettil, have developed a new microwave technology that will solve the challengeof electronic waste from end-of-life solar panels.
Currently, the recycling process istechnically challenging with only an estimated 15% of solar panels making it to arecycling facility3, and the remainder going straight to landfill once they have reachedtheir 20–25-year end of life span.
In the rare instance they are recycled, the solar panels,in the traditional method, are crushed and heated at approximately 1400°C before beingwashed in harsh chemicals to remove the plastics.
Dr Binesh Puthen Veettil’s research in collaboration with the School of Photovoltaics atUNSW, the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics and further supported by theAustralian Government through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency highlights theimmense need and impact this technology will bring.
In this new method, the microwave energy is used to selectively heat the materials withina solar panel. In this process, the silicon cells and other microwave-absorbingcomponents rapidly heat up, while surrounding materials remain relatively cool.
Thistargeted heating causes the plastic encapsulant, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), whichholds the panel layers together to soften and degrade.

part of a much larger release

i do not hold this share

this MIGHT ( negatively ) impact silver miners in due couse

( i hold S32 and BHP )

My pick for the October Comp, maybe a bit early but plenty of drill bits in all sorts of commodity pies
