I have been in pretty much every company Giles Clarke owned up to majestic wine and since with Chaco investments now of course called amerisur. Most of my share Certs read Chaco investment This was a basket case at a time when the economy had gone to hell in a handcart. Giles machine gunned all the directors and a new team brought in. The company at best had a 3/4 billion capitalisation,even now it's over 300 million. The price came back on their pipeline installation and halving of oil prices. This company growth not too dissimilar to what may happen to SMA but with a different product.

Strong buy !,! Definitely take up a day job and write your tripe on another board!

Agree totally with what you say. Just a point further Giles Clarke has his reputation,which is considerable, on the line here. It is inconceivable that he will fail here.

Animal, I think this refers to Kennedy Ventures, another brilliant company of Giles Clarke stable. The product is Lithium "the new black gold"

No. Chance !!

Deramp, deramp. Sarkozy. Stop misleading. SMA is going to be a big company. Get a day job if your bored!

Still plenty of time left. This is be a big purchase with huge potential. very strong buy.

Peter Cox is an excellent guy. "He's the most organised,methodical man, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of operating in South Africa ". This was said in July 2013 by Giles Clarke in Times interview. Once the new smelter is on board we will then be able to gauge exactly how good Dr Cox is. Its worth remembering that Peter Hibberd was swiftly replaced by Larry Johnson at Kennedy, both had 25 years experience .Johnson being one of the best in the business. Giles Clarkes quotes from the same article are also noteworthy namely " you always have to play with the right people " further, when asked about his businesses he said. " There's no point doing these things unless they are 20 to 30 baggers". Let's see what happens when Peter Cox stretches his legs.

The proposed purchase of the 7.5 mw smelter plant seems to me to be the game changer for ironveld after what has been an inordinate amount of time due to the South African governments rediculous planning laws and the time taken to get the permissions. I first invested in this company in November 2012 and have not sold any shares since then despite seeing them rise to 20 p. My holding remains not inconsiderable. There products HPI, Vernadium, Titanium have unbelievable financial potential. The new 7.5 mw furnace into production at least 6 months early has to be a game changer. With this deal, which I think will go ahead, they will be able to test their off take agreements and validation of the products. Further, they will be able to experience the furnaces viz their products and also train their skilled staff .

Giles Clarkes reputation is on the line here.infact,I think Giles Clarke and I will be on the next Mars mission before he allows this company to liquidate. Time will reveal whose right here.

If Giles Clarke is a quitter then why would he hang around for nearly a decade at Ironveld.This is possibly the most difficult start up company in South Africa.! I don't normally talk about other companies on this board but it's necessary here.

Not long to go now. Giles Clarke will not disappoint, His track record says it all.! The runs about to begin. Oh one thing Sarkozy,I don't need any of your rubbish comments!

At last all licences in ! With purchase of new furnaces being finalised and production starting in early 2018,this is game changing news.

I couldn't put it better myself! All Giles Clarkes recent start ups have been multi baggers ,this is no different. As I have stated before the team here are no muppets but highly capable individuals. Still only a mater of when not if !

I have no evidence but I too feel finance in place,they certainly have had enough time .The land lease hopefully signed in the next few weeks! Have you any support for this.What I don't understand is why the South African government hasn't intervened here after over four years delay. Am I being too naive,can anyone add some explanation?Thanks

The only thing needing to be booted off the AIM is you ! The sooner the better !

Thanks very much for your experiences with share purchases which sound very similar to mine. As you say as long as we land up with the right amount of shares that's all that matters! Re Sarkozy. He really does show himself for what he is, a bear in a pit . You poke him with a stick and out comes all the malice and venom. There are two options with him namely, he will fade away like others once the share price starts to surge or he will invest, reap the rewards and then fade away. I have seen this happen so many times on other boards over the last ten years !

Well there it isn't,in glorious blue! I bought this morning 100,000 shares at 11.15 am price at .373. Again can't find it anywhere. Are you able to help me here?

I am not making any accusations here ,but just want to point out that my purchases are considerable through out the year. In the last few months I purchased on five consecutive days and did not find any of them recorded. Further, I have lost count of the number of purchases recorded as sells with no mistakes ever the other way round. I understood there was a petition being drawn up some time ago but have heard no more. I obviously landed up with the right deals but it is a little worrying to say the least. Can anyone through light on this?

S.P.7, I think you and I are singing off the same hymn sheet. Great to see well thought out comments on this board . My first investment with Giles Clarke was in majestic wine which returned excellent profits. I have been in every company of his since! As my previous post suggested I am expecting a rapid initial rise on acquisition announcement and very happy to await developments for as I have said before I am an investor not a trader .
