As I wrote a few months back , the turning point came with the first mining activity in this open cast mine. The RNS is not only very positive in the tie up with the major steel off taker in SA but further interest from other off takers of which there have been many due mainly to the sky high price of vanadium in 2018. Make no mistake, our steel off taker contract will give us all the finance to build our smelters as originally planned. This really is a momentous day for the company and the war weary investors alike............

With the acquisitions of two highly cash generative companies on board in as many months, the two companies look very fast growing. I particularly like the centurian automotive business. Haven’t seen any figures yet, but this acquisition has all the fingerprints of GC on it. Yes both companies brilliant with the rump business powering on behind. Won’t be too long before share price starts to reflect this, in any event ahead of march accounts..........

L Js. last interview stated that the homestead would wrap by year end. Purple Haze less confident for a years end deadline due to very long holiday period in Namibia. My view now is that he probably has the Jorc for Homestead but is now waiting for Purple Haze. The double impact with both Jorcs together would be sensible. Regards timing, mid February looks realistic and as stated many times, I expect very good results here........

Larry Johnson is coming up to his second anniversary in January which will mark the end of his second term of tenure. In mining terms,this is a blink of the eye. Mining companies can take up to ten years to get into production witness Ironveld. What this really comes down to, is do you believe in the CEO, Larry Johnson with 35 years in the tantalum market or not? It really is as simple as that. My interest goes further here, I have total respect for Giles Clarke with whom my investment started with Majestic Wine and rewarded me handsomely. What one has to remember with GC is that all his companies are set up in the same way. Namely, always having a multi bagging product, secondly,always play with the right people. GC is a past master at both and has a proven history of success.As I have said many times ,time is the missing ingredient. Happy new year all investors here..........

will be gone like due before the sun as soon as positive news starts to flow.......they cannot bear good news.....as I have said before.......Time will be the arbiter here !!!!

Hé. won’t !!!

Said by Larry Johnson in latest RNS. He would not say this because he likes the sound of his own voice....As already said, Giles Clarke talks of an enlightening year and accretive ( growth by acquisition ) literal meaning. We have in our two , chairman and CEO , two of the best in the business. As I continue to say , we are about to witness a complete transformation but they must be given the time, after all, this is mining ! not a UK business company. I would also remind people that over the last ten years I accurately predicted the fastest moving area for property in the last ten years with a staggering 174% increase. I was told then I was a complete idiot!!.

Well done Pranch you really understand where this share is going! You will make a fortune here. The missing ingredient here is TIME !

Looks realistic for both Homestead and Purple Haze Jorks for end of first quarter. 2019 enlightening and accretive ,should start to see a real sustained advance in the share price........

I would expect RNS early/mid next week .....

Just recapping .......

Accounts. Will show company turnover ,profit and expenditure
Orange River pipeline. Multi tenders and confirmation of successful contractors
Confirmation of end users,LJs preferred contract is for one major player only.
Results of Homestead and Purple Haze JORCS. Homestead for sure,Purple Haze maybe,in any event shortly post Xmas. (Holiday interruption).
Financing arrangements for Orange river pipeline.

Tiger by the tail........I put this rhetorical question back to you. Why do you as the Naysayer to end all Naysayers continue to hammer the company when you clearly,As I have read over the years, had nothing to commend in it. ? I spent several years clashing swords with a certain Sarkozy on Sovereign Mines of Africa board, now Barkby Group. Another Naysayer extroadinaire. Guess what ? Yes he’s nowhere to be seen now. Naysayers always evaporate when the good news starts to roll. It will be no different here either...........

I have always believed when the turn comes it will be with all four companies and yes I am talking about Giles. Clarke , a man I believe has exceptional ability to grow businesses. Before everyone shouts rubbish ,I would remind you it can take up to ten years to grow into a medium size company and and many others arrived far too early to the party but those who held on only nurse paper loses. If we look at the four companies year ending 2018,how do they look.
AMERISUR. Just tied up with the huge Occidental oil company and only today have announced a major find
IRONVELD.....Fully mining and a major end user in play. 1.4 billion. Lbs tantalum at record levels
KAZARA..........management brilliant. Tantalum off the scales for purity. At Purple Haze a dual compound of lithium and tantalum, giving lithium production in for nothing. Nothing short of incredible
BARKBY. GROUP......A little gem.. This will be a GC master class in high profit return in very short order.. Management team to die for. A niche market in exactly the right area namely hospitality inns pubs. Low capital outlay,ten year leases. This is for someone who wants a fast turn round. First acquisition just on board, an award winning pub in Arundel W.Sussex. Occupancy already increased to 90 pc and turnover at 1m. Only three months running

Yes all four companies will look very different by 2019 yr end

Agree, should have most of this in there. Only doubt here is whether Purple Haze will be included due to long holidays.

Under heading operational highlights , its reads .... Final stages of water licence application and access agreement negotiations with local communities and land owners took place during the period. ( ie accounting period ) . with successful conclusion post period. ( ie successful conclusion to both issues after accounting period ).
What’s there not to understand here, very clear to me... Very encouraging RNS.....

Your absolutely right Piltick.. The RNS is clear, we have the water licence ! Generally, this is a very encouraging RNS. After the slaughter GC. had at Kazera with over optimism one can see his caution. Yes excellent progress, were really on our way........

CORRECTION.........We have only 1.4. Billion lbs. Sorry. !

have TRIPLED. over the year 2018. We have 2.4. BILLION. lbs of it. We are mining iit now and only capitalised at just over 10 million....

Absolutely. Ridiculous. TOTALLY. laughable..........

Accounts too early to include mining activities, however may well be a progress report on mining activities. That aside this is all now going in the right direction and I have little doubt we will get our end user on board for a long term contract ! The one problem I see at the moment is the dead in the water stock market. Good companies should not worry about this. !

Two Jorc results for Homestead and Purple Haze mines, good if we got both!
Update on signed contract with contractors for the orange river pipeline
The accounts
Details of end users contracts , how many etc but again no names.

Yes, a real turning point and this time it will be supported by facts not speculation !

Yes it will be yours PR. There is very little risk here as I Ihave been pointing out for several years now. We have the naysayers on one side and the confirmed supporters on the other. The waiting is nearly over.! I have made many predictions over the years and have a very high accuracy level. This like all GC companies is heading only one way ....NORTH. Don’t be caught asleep at the wheel !
