All going very well.! But then what else would you expect from a man of his experience. Never had a doubt about this one. It’s only time. !

Out for period ending December. They show strong acquisition growth and now company will consolidate for a few months with a strong boost from the inorganic. With the help of a mortgage ,issue of shares and organic profits the company has made just a small loss, we can be sure that the growth pattern will resume its relentless pace. As stated before, GC is the master of this sort of growth company. One thing for sure, the next set of accounts will look very different......

It’s been barely four weeks,these things take time... Have confidence in the products. Remember Vanadium prices are sky high,only a fool would reject this... Further , we have the potential of a tie with what I see as a major player. Give the board time......

Hi. Stockable....
If you look back five posts before this, you will see I did put up my take on why Centurian makes such a good fit. My guess here and it’s only that, that we have a very fast moving and accretive business. Further down line it might well get floated off. But hey ,this is getting ahead of myself............

Announcement of the Queens Arms. East Garston. This is really rapid..........

Another jewel in the Crown..........

Don’t know why LSE. Has no RNS. Facility !

Welcome to Barkby, you have made a very good choice in investing here. On the surface,a pub chain and a car car business don’t seem to have much in common. Look a little closer and you will see they share the same format. Namely, they are both hospitality, upmarket companies. Further, they are both rapid growing, highly profitable and cash generative. As I have said before, Giles Clarke is a master at this sort of company. As a guide, 5years to reach a large operation is easily obtainable. The accounts for period ending march 2018 show Centurian at some 130 k GP,already a year out of date. I would expect to see profits around 250 k for period ending march 2019. To answer your question directly, the tactic here is rapid growth,high profit with low cost acquisitions...........

Don’t be worried Annie, this is very near now in both areas I have highlighted recently. With regard to our future partner, we may well have our immediate partners smelting facilities to use. Peter Cox has already hinted at this..........

What we do know here is that they will be big mining companies...... How do I know, because Giles Clarke will not waste time on small fry...Everything GC does has to be big time.............

Yes, totally concur with you. What will ignite this company is the rapid acquisition of companies, coupled with an impressive set of accounts. The herd are never far away and with so few shares, Barkby are a certain buy . DYOR........

Sorry, you can’t even get this right ! I am a teetotaller always have been !

Yes, one could argue that the board has taken an inordinate amount of time to get here,but to have come so far in the last year has secured Ironvelds future. I too have been here since the whistle and see this RNS as excellent news and not over hyped. I have no doubt our end user deal will be reached, but just as important and maybe more so is the partnership deal. If Amerisurs deal with Occidental Oil is followed,we should see a major partner taken on board with the muscle to short circuit the proposed furnace program. What would then follow would be nothing short of mind boggling. Just a thought all other GC companies are moving along in the background very nicely...............

Firstly, nice to see a few posts here and welcome stackable. I really feel I am hogging the limelight and let others have their say. For I have been in the GC camp since majestic wine days where I made a very handsome return. I have to say I am in every GC company since and could, if so chose I could have made very handsome returns on them all bar Barkby. I am a seasoned investor in GC and have to say that I have rarely seen a company like Barkby and been able to give it so many ticks. As far as shareholder dividends are concerned all GC companies are early stage and are usually sold on in the 5 to 10 year window. This may not apply to his mining companies ie no track record here..the two major points here are 1. Only 37 m shares. 2. Highly scaleable, low cost acquisitions.. many more will follow in quick succession.......DYOR.

As I have stated recently, we are about to witness a major rerating for this company on the back of a major link up with a large steel end user and further and just as important, a major partner. Those with long memories will remember irons meteoric rise in 2015 to 19 p on little more than GCs reputation and speculation. What before the price really moves up should note is that this time the price will hold. The price will be held by facts not speculation. Obviously, there will be some profit taking not helped by brexit but the price will not wilt like back in ..15. The GC formula is at work here, namely choose multibagging product then add always play with the right people . Finally add GC. Yes it works every time given time.. All his companies will end up the same way.............

I don’t normally bother to respond to criticisms concerning ramping as I am often laughed at ,called a clone of GC,LJ ,PC etc.,so I am well used to it. I have always supported GC companies to the hilt , not least Ironveld which I have been invested in since late 2013. Hardly a ramper do you think ? I am a medium / long term investor going back to majestic wine days with GC. As regard company X, I only mention this as it is from the GC stable and could be a useful addition to a balanced portfolio. As old veterans on this board will know, I have never wavered in my support for Ironveld which I have supported almost to the point of boredom..............

This is and will start to flow into this company as successive acquisitions are taken on board. The Achilles heal here at the present is the NEX market which is very restrictive at present. My guess is tha GC will return to the AIM market as soon as practical. This was the direct result of having to crash out of the AIM market following the collapse of the Indian optical business and time lost there. Regarding valuation , there is a large organic growth to this company,acquire leased inns pubs hotels whatever and apply a transformation of the service to boot. This is infinitely scaleable and I expect GC to acquire ahead of estimate. Due to the acquisition date we do have an account to the end of march and yes I expect to see rapid acquisition growth as well as organic.......

For me as I have said many times before, this company has only been when not if. The main reason this company has a poor share price is due to the 7 years of waiting with disappointments on the way. I am a veteran from the start and did forecast the turning point for the second stage the moment the first digging shovel hit the sod. I have no doubt that we shall secure our end supplier not least because of the huge jump in vanadium prices. The icing on the cake here is the tie up with a partner,this makes perfect sense . As stated the company has many potentials hovering around the beehive, with due diligence completed. Look at Amerisur for comparison, they have just completed a partnership with Occidental oil of Houston, one of the biggest in the world. I have no doubt it will be with one of the biggest mining companies chosen here. Yes , a really good future awaits here for the patient............

Hi. 4unme
According to latest RNS ,we have three weeks before a contract with a major steel end supplier will be announced. Further , many potential partners are hovering over Iron ,many having already done due diligence. When we get the two announcements it will electrify the company
Regarding Barkby G ,a new LSE chatline has opened yesterday. Maybe you would like to read my first post about this company.

Lovely to have our chat line back on again......
What we have here is a GC masterclass in how to grow an English company , a very familiar territory for GC. We now have two new acquisitions on board .first a hospitality restaurant , the second an hospitality top range car business. The second being subject to due diligence.
I list the reasons for investment here. DYOR.
1 very fast growing business with cheap 10 year leases
2. In an area of growth , witness the Ivy Group , now acquiring 10 properties a year
3. GC a Chairman with years of experience growing businesses
4. A management team second to none
5. Financier Jeremy Sparrow , used to handling 20 billion plus finance
6. Safe business based in uk
7. Very importantly , only 37 million shares issued.
8. Very strong organic growth
9. Low chance of market cash calls
10. Window of growth 5 years to medium size company

I have been posting on Soveregn mines of Africa share chat for several years now

Please DYOR

so.....Look no further than GCs other two companies,namely Ironveld and Barkby group. Both these companies have suffered from near hysteria and panic. Both companies are near to lift off !. What has to be realised here is that Kazera has one hand tied behind its back in so much as there are no figures for investors to see. We have to rely on the Jorcs to be released and I am certain this is the right approach being pursued by LJ . The scale of this projects resources will soon be revealed. I once again remind everyone that LJ has 35 years experience in the tantalum market and I know who I would back LJ or the naysayers. The choice is yours. There are also a couple of caveats here,the burden of brexit on the general stock market. Also the amount of selling can only be described as paltry.............

Lithium looks as though it could be a very complimentary mineral in so much as the tantalum is captured in the lithium,thus having two products in the one mineral. When they get in the tank they separate,the tantalum being heavier falls to the bottom of the tank. The nett result here is, you get free materials from the tantalum. A mining companies dream. The benefits from this are obvious. Regarding the RNS, it’s obviously taking longer to gather the JORC results which is only to be expected. The approach our CEO is taking is the right one, namely to JORC the whole area so that a true and verified assessment can be made. LJ is doing a very good job with the approach he is taking us in. As said many times the only missing ingredient is time..........
