Lycan Moon Mining (Corp.) | Press Release 004

01 Mar 2023Alman Poxor
We were positively surprised about the market response and how fast our requested Platinum demand got delivered in the latest trade cycle. Our procurement team really found the pricing sweet spot.
Sally Chamber says, Tritium Depot Officer at LMM, slurping her cup of Fujin Tea.
However, all in all we were not happy with how things turned out on the sales side. The critical variable in the trade calculation is the unpredictable distance to the best paying customer.

Tritium is expensive and carriers need a lot of it. A single light-year consumes an estimated 100k credits; on a 200 ly trade run that adds up to 20 mn credits. Including the jump back to the procurement location that amount doubles to 40 mn credits!
The damn fuel consumption ate approximately 30% of our profits. That being said, our current weekly profit yield can easily be outperformed by a decent trade pilot in a T-9.
Sally adds in a slightly grumpy tone.
Lycan moon mining announced to continuously support their investment into fleet carriers and to enhance efforts calibrating their operational protocols and procedures. The corporation's focus will remain on the human habitat (aka Bubble) for their start-up phase but is also looking into deep space trading and ways to introduce economies of scale. After all, Lycan was awarded the Elite Trader IV rank early this week; a clear indication on its commitment.
Lycan is also fine-tuning their promotional perception, corporate identity, and public relations strategy.
Taking our history into account, we shifted from a sensational bomb.com-approach to a more serious and sophisticated messaging. Our new slogan "More for Ore" really reflects what we do and what we believe is best for us... ahh, I mean our customers and partners.
Alman Poxor (CEO) said in a public statement to GalNet yesterday.

[Lycan Moon Mining was a liberal-leaning Federal mining corporation that allegedly held shady ties to the Nijotec Syndicate. On February 20, 3301 President Halsey of the Federation ordered an attack on the Nijotec Syndicate. The investigations on Lycan's involvement in criminal activities were never proven. After President Hudson took office, the corporation surprisingly suspended its operations and remained as a shell company. Lycan Moon Mining was acquired by Alman Poxor in early 3309. Today, Lycan Moon Mining operates in the outer rim of the human habitat (aka Bubble) supplying and serving the most remote human outposts and exclaves in a radius of approximately 1000 ly from Sol and has successfully established business operations in large cargo hauling, remote mining, and long-distance mission runs. Lycan is now investigating opportunities in the deep space market.]
