ammendment......last sentence should not be there...having big signal issues........

As a large shareholder I do take you seriously as you atleast have a meaningful holding. However it is not true to say that GC has not provided any shareholder value for many years. His last acquisition Barkby Group which I highlighted over a year ago on both Kazera and Ironveld boards which pre Covid reached over 40 M and even now is over 30M has made some investors alot of money. This was written about by another investor about a month ago on this board. Those who listen to me and hold steady will make a good return on their investment.........but DYOR..........
more ey here too but DYOR..................

No.....paragraph ! Set out on a new line and new content.....Yes I am invested here which begs the question for the Naysayers....why are you and Steven49 knocking the company relentlessly when by your own admission your investment here is slight and S49s is nil......very odd ! I had years at Sovereign Mines with a character called Sarkosy and others, same pitch as you until it became Barkby ,worth now 30 million ! Yes you've guessed ! Went like dew before the sun ! I expect the same with the Naysayers here.................

Sorry,but your your last paragraph could not describe you more succinctly...................

Poppyseed......I have read this report with a fine toothe combe from Align research which outlines the way forward for this business and is very encouraging to all those except the Naysayers. Anyone who thinks that three and a half years for a mining company to develop into a player from SCRATCH knows very little about mining.......As I have said before the future is very good for the patient........................

Yes...this is a political judgement , a road I should definitely not travel.... ....

F B............. Great to have your input here on a regular basis...What you say is absolutely spot on, we have to wait for L J to work his magic, just over three and half years is not that long in terms of what has been achieved here from nothing. There are many on this board who for whatever reason refuse to speak out against the relentless onslaught of the Naysayers. Supporters of the company should stand up and be counted................

As the silly season draws to a close and market conditions once again prevail,we can look forward to a busy autumn in the Giles Clarke company trio. The mineral market is set fair and whilst a Biden victory at the November election would be bad news for investors the certain post Covid recovery is sure to continue. I am expecting real tail end of year news in all three companies. Ismalia, I totally agree with your last post............................

Hi Ismalia . The point here you are making is extremely relevant and if like Kazera the private investors make up a substantial quantity then this will influence the volume. For me this time will be for real and this time the herd will dwarf what we have just witnessed and furthermore this will be sustained albeit with the inevitable profitakers .All rational goes out the window when greed takes over....................

As the herd drift off into the sunset, some licking their wounds others counting their spoil, its worth looking at the time scale here. As from this Monday we will have only seven weeks to complete . Take out two weeks for arranging the necessary AGM and an early / mid October looks a likely announcement window , in other words only five weeks away. Both GCs mining companies are at roughly the same stage and I fully expect to see them bounce off each other not least because of shared shareholder interest. Ironveld is on course for full production and I don't see anything stopping this momentum.............

Of course should read 30th September ....my apologies !

As we approach the 30th Dec deadline its worth recalling what’s at stake here. IIG have been working with the Ironveld board for over six months now. We have missed one deadline due to Covid but I do believe we will hit this one. IIG have granted a 200 k loan to Iron to tide them over. The main loan namely £10 million is the one eagerly awaited. Further , the two parties are very much committed here with a nasty sting in the tail for IIG should they not complete namely £210k,not an inconsiderable amount. Further down line post deal the plan seems to be for the Singleberg smelter at Joberg to be recommissioned to enable early production. We really are within a hairs breath of a transformational moment.........................

Poppyseed you have tis in one. The declared aim of LJ is to expand the business with companies that have short lead times, highly trained and motivated management and employes with metals that have high profitability and at the near bottom of the cycle price wise
LJ is an expert here and will grow the business this way that should bring us spectacular results.....................

I have little doubt that the company began mining at beginning of August and that diamond sales will follow now in quick succession. We are not dealing with muppets here but a highly motivated,highly experienced and fully engaged team in the mining process. There are those on this board who still think that none of our products have any commercial return or future. Nothing could be further from the truth.! The profits from an increasing diamond price and scaling of the diamond production will more than support the planned pipe line for tantalum mining. As I have said before I fully expect through acquisition further new businesses to come on board. I was told I was crazy when I mentioned this prior to the diamond business coming on board. A period now of growth through acquisition will gain momentum as we go forward. A very interesting period lies ahead here..................

We have been very unlucky with the the covid 19 delay which with the 8 years already spent getting to this stage has sapped investors confidence dramatically. For sure we have a rising commodity market including Fe and further a very capable CEO in Martin Eales with track record in Rare Earth Minerals . What should be remembered here is that we are supplying High Purity Iron which bears no relation to ordinary Iron. The price for HPI is in the £450 - £750 per ton very much depending on quality. September 30 is not far away now and yes I do believe the finance will be in place by then. Regarding share price as I have said before will increase rapidly on a good financing deal which will be a game changer . When the Herd arrive and they will rational and reason go out the window.................

As good a guess as any ! ! Predictions are notoriously wide of the mark !

This was never going to fail as I been saying for nearly 7 years.......My only slight reservation with Giles Clarke was that he didn’t replace Peter Cox earlier.....having said that P C is a brilliant brain for the organisation of everyday running of the business........G C likewise is just one in a million, certainly the best entrepreneur I have seen......... Giles ......really would like to see you do another UK shell company. ....the ease and mastery of Sovereign was nothing short of spectacular...........

Wish I could say I was suprised !!!!

Of course should read latter not later must be the heat..............

Hi Ismalia.......
Yes odd.....would tend to favour later.......on Centurion was pleased to read patient was responding to treatment which apart from greater financial controls would almost certainly mean far greater emphasis on the net.......like you , demise of Transcend disappointing but obviously going to cost too much for company in present conditions......Still loving the two pharma businesses...................
