I agree with you chaps, in that MB and JT must have something signed up for a ACA deal or an agreement in place, otherwise their time would be spent working on pushing this through, rather than other acquisitions. The fact they are already into another venture opportunity shows this has all but been agreed in my mind. Perhaps we need to chase the Acacia press office for some clarification.

Strong progress on US / China deal should help commodity prices.

Reports of Barrick amassing a stake in Newmont which could mean they have found a buyer for their Acacia stake?

Could be an interesting week next week.

Sorry the system went.... West Wick....we used to live close to Locks B I used to frequent the Black H there years ago. I bet our paths may have crossed in the past.
I certainly used to enjoy fishing at Keston not so sure they do that there any more? Happy days.

I bet you will know some of my family who probably called in to your cleaners. My Auntie Marjorie lived in

Hi Wise, lots of recovery stocks out there to be honest.
Everyone has their own view but I like stocks that have not been "large" to or three years ago but are growth stocks. Europe has slow growth and I understand the yanks prefer India and Brazil at the mo. If Brexit gets through smoothly they may come back in here. i.e. FTSE.
I do hold CEY, and HOC. I also like Glencore, Playtec, Dominoes, Stobbart, Morrisions, but the Uk banks are cheap and will go well after Brexit if no probs seen. If sterling falls to me Beazley is good, so lots of choices out there -good luck. Ocado I have had and sold but again they are a growth product.

Should be an interesting week -lets hope common sense prevails and whatever happens is beneficial for the Company, its staff and shareholders.

Do you mean Hayes just o/side Bromley?

The devil in me says we my be missing an important point here. If Barrick want the whole Company then the shareholders need to see something offered in return for what is lost. What is lost depends on when the shares were bought? The determination of whether any illegal activities or non disclosures were taking place still remain unanswered. The questions raised by the GOT are unanswered. If shareholders bought their shares under a false illusion we could have some compensation coming that's all. No one told me you can invest in this Company but you will have to give away 50% for illegal activities? I see my interests in Acacia as most being bought before the accusations of alleged malpractice. Meaning if the accusations are true my purchase of shares in what I considered to be a safe haven share were affected by incorrect information being previously reported. In some ways I would like this proven. So my decision when buying my older share purchases were affected, where'as when I bought again more recently I was already aware of the situation. I feel to accept the deal the Aca board might be an offer but in compensation I would like to see a higher price for my older shares bought pre-dispute, and less of an offer for the shares that I bought after the dispute was well known. Otherwise I can see an unfair practice if you can follow what I am saying.
The decision by Acacia board may be an easy one to conclude but the allocation of the offer may not be as straight forward as everyone is thinking that's all I saying.

I am still wondering if the swashbuckling deal mentioned is actually missing something for the Acacia board and for the long suffering shareholders that the Acacia Board has a duty under the LSE rules to look after. i.e. Barrick have led the discussions as agents of Acacia. Acacia can still take this to arbitration. Will Aca board agree to 50% of profits to the G.O.T as don't they have any legal mining licensing agreements on paper? pre-existing I mean. They may decide not to accept the deal if their legal advisers and Insurers say no. There could be legal reasons or shareholder protection rules that precludes them from doing so unless Barrick come up with such a good offer acceptable to UK Shareholders to pay for compensation for the loss of interests/assets owned. When I bought shares in the Company I did not buy them on the basis of giving away 50% or even 16% of the mines for that matter. Were Barrick acting outside of their powers of authority? I appreciated they are the largest shareholder but that is what they are a shareholder. That does not mean they are right. However they have had a positive effect on the share price already which will benefit new shareholders. Old shareholders like myself bought more of the Company than what Barrick are offering going forward however. Sorry to be against the mainstream but I am just looking at it from a different angle. I would want compensation from anyone taking over if they have negotiated my share of the Company is now less. Aca may want to prove a point whilst trying to save their existence? Perhaps Barrick can make an offer for Acacia Tanzania ltd, and then we can move on with Acacia under a different umbrella for the other interests we own and hold outside of Tanzania? Perhaps Acacia will be broken up and the new Acacia could merge with another Miner in their own right i.e Say Centamin? Only a couple of alternative thoughts I always look at things from all sorts of angles?

Pat, I love Cumbria too, although usually stay around Ullswater to avoid people. Our dog at home was a Cumbiran Border Collie that came from a Farm just outside Penrith. They were a little bit larger than the Welsh hill variety and she was very bright.
I think most of the market was done today and its probably due to a lot of traders off for half term.

Just wondering if our friends on the other side of the Pond might come in here? I appreciate small investors will, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see one or two institutions starting to notify of their interest? Perhaps even Barrick will buy some more now. I am not sure if they can with a full disclosure of not?

Tanzania is obviously very lucky with how much Gold they have if Acacia can produce so much under sanction. MB knows this and so does the Govt. In coming to a very fair compromise as it opens up other opportunities and mines in the Country to make Acacia in any form grow without question. Likewise Acacia have drilled for and found for on many other sites not yet developed. Barrick want this Company and they want it to grow to become yet again the largest Gold producer in the World. I see a price for them now and a bigger price for the future. We must be worth a lot more than £2,61, Well certainly more likely to be than Crystal Palace in Europe!! -shame but stranger things have happened. Even my Dad was looking to come in here and he hasn't paid for us on a meal out in 20 years!! HA.ha - I wouldn't be surprised if the dealers play a few tricks here as there must be a shortage of stock? be ALL THE BEST CHAPS KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.

After criticizing me for being so positive for two years are you still out there? Now is the time to be positive. All the best of luck to everyone this has been hard work but I think we are now seeing the start of a special recovery and more.

Yep Morning Star who supply the stock market with info/news as well as all the big pension providers sends our the good news of a proposal,

My wife has even acquired some now - best of luck chaps, enjoy the ride!

To be honest as I have got older I need to get up in the night. The first thing I do is check the far eastern markets, futures for the next day and see if there is any overnight news. I actually love it, and so I will not die from stress. My wife will tell you it is either shares, Company news or cars magazines. It will all come to you in the end. To be honest I am a night Owl I think I am asleep all day and then suddenly wake up at 10.30 PM. I think I should have been on the late shift in the force really. Pat one of our dogs used to be a Met German Shepherd, he was too friendly for the force but Keston gave him over to Sandon where I got him from. He stood 2 inchs shorter than a Great Dane-lovely, lovely dog he was our favourite.

Notice share magazine co uk -have the last trade go through at £1.27 and if so it means we were still rising late in the day. - falling sterling might help us here too.? The labour party are trying to help us by talking amongst themselves. It looks like we are also running out of time for Brexit and many hedging against the pound.

Looks like we are now gaining momentum for late last week into this week, and it looks as if many are seeing this as now a very good buying opportunity. I know Morgan S - have changed their rating to a very positive one, and we might have one or two funds managers coming back in now we are back in the FTSE350. The way we are now fastly returning to form we may well be in the top 200 soon. I can see Proctive investors last post 6 days ago referred to the Barrick takeover, but someone here knows something I am sure. As BB's said we will be well over £2 soon before any actual Takeover. A very good place now to be here chaps, I will hold on for the ride.

Elly, I wonder why it was postponed? It could be that the talks are well under way I suppose? Time will tell. It could be an interesting week next week Gold I have at the moment at about $1321 an oz.

Elly - True, I suppose all that glistens and all that? But it could be someone stake building? Perhaps we may get an announcement very soon, as something appears to be on- doesn't it?
