Any interested party also receive some share info from (The new name for Savle Mining). I’m not quite sure what it is but it means somethings coming. Probably more dread. Where Avrohorn or whatever he called himself.
Is there anybody there??
Oh I hope the RTO takes place and my ex Sable Mininge shares are worth 5p each. That will make my year.
I think we would all like to see a list of nomads that have been contacted and their response. Having sat on an AIM board I understand the procedures and the inevitable delays what with due diligence etc however AIM will allow a stay if proceedings are ongoing. This is tantamount to robbery and yes its in the rules but someone must be held to account and investigated. Also surely if someone like BP tried this there would bit a bit more noise. Can people show their holdings on this thread if you wish to of course to get an idea, its a shame holding nearly 1% that i only get one vote..... 13,250,000 :((
Theres 2 other pdf EGM forms of proxy and direction (voting slip) on the website http://www.sablemining.com/investor-relations/key-corporate-documents.html
Depositary Interests representing Ordinary Shares you are requested to complete and sign a Form of Direction. Please return Forms of Proxy and Forms of Direction to Capita Asset Services, PXS, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, as soon as possible (and, in any event, so as to arrive not later than 48 hours before the meeting in question in the case of the Forms of Proxy and not later than 72 hours before the meeting in question in the case of the Forms of Direction). Unless the Forms of Proxy and/or Forms of Direction are received by this date and time, they will be invalid. The completion and return of a Form of Proxy and/or Form of Direction will not preclude you from attending the EGM and voting in person if you so wish. 10. Recommendation The Directors consider that the Resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders to vote in favour of all of the Resolutions to be proposed at the EGM. Yours faithfully Andrew Groves Chief Executive Officer
consider putting in place a Matched Bargain Facility to assist Shareholders to trade in the Ordinary Shares. If implemented, the Matched Bargain Facility would be made available either directly through the Company or through a third party provider. Under the Matched Bargain Facility, Shareholders or persons wishing to acquire or dispose of Ordinary Shares would be able to leave an indication with the Matched Bargain Facility that they are prepared to buy or sell at an agreed price. In the event that the Matched Bargain Facility is able to match that order with an opposite sell or buy instruction, the Matched Bargain Facility would contact both parties and then effect the bargain. Should the Company put in place a Matched Bargain Facility, details would be made available to Shareholders on the Company’s website and/or directly by letter or e-mail (where appropriate). 7. Process for Cancellation Under the AIM Rules, it is a requirement that the Cancellation must be approved by not less than 75 per cent. of votes cast by Shareholders at an EGM. Accordingly the Notice of EGM set out in this document contains a special resolution to approve the Cancellation. Furthermore, Rule 41 of the AIM Rules requires an AIM company that wishes the London Stock Exchange to cancel the admission of its shares to trading on AIM to notify shareholders and to separately inform the London Stock Exchange of its preferred cancellation date at least 20 Business Days prior to such date. In accordance with AIM Rule 41, the Directors have notified AIM of the Company’s intention, subject to the Resolution being passed at the EGM, to cancel the Company’s admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM. Accordingly, if the Resolution is passed the Cancellation will be effective at 7.00 a.m. on 17 October 2016. 8. Extraordinary General Meeting and Irrevocable Undertakings The EGM is to be held at 12.00 p.m. on 7 October 2016 at Richmond House, St Julian’s Avenue, St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands GY1 3YS for the purpose of seeking Shareholders’ approval to the Resolutions. Notice of the EGM is set out at the end of this document. The Company has received irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Resolution from shareholders holding in aggregate 285,916,896 Ordinary Shares (including Andrew Groves), representing approximately 25.79 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. As a result, the Directors believe it is likely that the Resolution will be passed at the EGM. 8 242266 Sable Mining Circular 14/09/2016 15:43 Page 8 9. Action to be taken A Form of Proxy and Form of Direction for use at the EGM is enclosed and whether or not you intend to be present at the EGM, you are requested to complete and sign the Form of Proxy and/or Form of Direction. For Shareholders who hold Ordinary Shares in certificated form you are requested to complete and sign a Form of Proxy. For Shareholders who hold
may be adversely affected as a consequence; ● it may be more difficult for Shareholders to determine the market value of their investment in the Company at any given time; ● the regulatory and financial reporting regime applicable to companies whose shares are admitted to trading on AIM will no longer apply; ● Shareholders will no longer be afforded the protections given by the AIM Rules, such as the requirement to be notified of certain events, or required to obtain shareholder approval, where applicable, including substantial transactions, financing transactions, reverse takeovers, related party transactions and fundamental changes in the Company’s business, including certain acquisitions and disposals; ● the levels of transparency and corporate governance within the Company are unlikely to be as stringent as for a company quoted on AIM; ● the Company will cease to have an independent nominated adviser and broker; ● the Company’s CREST facility will be cancelled and, although the Ordinary Shares will remain transferable, they will cease to be transferable through CREST. Instead, Shareholders who hold depositary (interests representing Ordinary Shares) in CREST will receive share certificates; and ● the Cancellation may have taxation consequences for Shareholders. Shareholders who are in any doubt about their tax position should consult their own professional independent tax adviser. The Company will remain subject to the applicable provisions of corporate law from time to time in force in the British Virgin Islands. The above considerations are non-exhaustive and Shareholders should seek their own independent advice when assessing the likely impact of the Cancellation on them. 7 242266 Sable Mining Circular 14/09/2016 15:43 Page 7 The Company will endeavour to continue to provide certain facilities and services to Shareholders that they currently enjoy as shareholders of an AIM company. Following the Cancellation, the Company will: ● continue to communicate information about the Company (including annual accounts) to its Shareholders, as required by law, and the Company will continue to hold annual general meetings; and ● continue to maintain a website (details of which will be confirmed in due course) and to post updates on the website from time to time (being at least every six months), although Shareholders should be aware that there will be no obligation on the Company to include all of the information required under AIM Rule 26 or to update the website as required by the AIM Rules. 6. Transactions in Ordinary Shares The Board is aware that the proposed Cancellation, should it be approved by Shareholders at the EGM, would make it more difficult for Shareholders to buy and sell Ordinary Shares should they wish to do so. Shortly following the proposed Cancellation, the Company intends, subject to being able to comply with applicable law, to
The Directors propose to change the name of the Company so as to reflect the change of focus away from mining activities. Resolution 2 being proposed at the EGM is to change the name of the Company to “Consolidated Growth Holdings Limited”. Board Composition It is anticipated that changes may be made to the Board in due course to supplement the existing team. That said, the Board intends that post-Cancellation the Company will be operated from a reduced budget and as such it is anticipated that a small Board will be maintained. Outline discussions are underway with major shareholders regarding the possibility of them taking up representation on the Board; the incumbent Directors are fully supportive of this proposal and will welcome this participation. 6 242266 Sable Mining Circular 14/09/2016 15:43 Page 6 Corporate Governance The Board is conscious of recent adverse press coverage focused on the Company and its management. The Board maintains that no illegal actions have taken place with its knowledge or at its direction and following Cancellation will continue the ongoing legal proceedings, with a view to clarifying the position on the allegations which have been made. Furthermore, the Board wish to inform Shareholders that notwithstanding Cancellation, the Company intends to take steps towards obtaining ISO 37001 (Anti-bribery management systems) certification to provide comfort that the appropriate controls and procedures are in place and that there is a high-level management commitment to conducting business to the highest standards. 5. Principal effects of Cancellation The Directors are aware that certain Shareholders may be unable or unwilling to hold Ordinary Shares in the event that the Cancellation is approved and becomes effective. Such Shareholders should consider selling their interests in the market prior to the Cancellation becoming effective. Under the AIM Rules, the Company is required to give at least 20 clear Business Days’ notice of Cancellation. Additionally, Cancellation will not take effect until at least 5 clear Business Days have passed following the passing of the Resolution. If the Resolution is passed at the EGM, it is proposed that the last day of trading in Ordinary Shares on AIM will be 14 October 2016 and that the Cancellation will take effect at 7.00 a.m. on 17 October 2016. The principal effects of the Cancellation will be that: ● there would be no formal market mechanism enabling the Shareholders to trade Ordinary Shares on AIM and, furthermore, no other recognised market or trading facility (other than the proposed Matched Bargain Facility referred to below) will be available to enable trading of the Ordinary Shares; ● while the Ordinary Shares will remain freely transferrable, it is possible that following publication of this document, the liquidity and marketability of the Ordinary Shares may be significantly reduced and the value of such shares
ron ore project in South Eastern Guinea up the value chain. In recent months, the long term effects of factors including political instability, public health emergencies, the impact of the depressed bulk commodities markets, unpredictability of legal systems together with unsubstantiated and irresponsible allegations and adverse press speculation have caused significant harm to the Company’s long term prospects as a mineral exploration and development business. In this context, the Board believe that it would be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole to shift focus away from these areas of operation and to seek a Cancellation so as to provide the best opportunity to translate the present opportunities into revenues and long term growth in shareholder value. 4. Strategy following Cancellation Investment Strategy Following Cancellation the Board intends to realise maximum value from the Company’s existing asset base. The Company has a strong cash position and the potential to realise further value from its existing asset base will enable the Board to invest the Company’s resources into a revenue generating project/asset portfolio, with a geographic focus on southern and central Africa. As a group, the Board have many years’ experience working with and for companies operating in Africa. The Board will use extensive business contacts and knowledge to source the most attractive transactions and assess potential targets for acquisition or investment which meet the criteria identified above. The Board believes that it brings significant value and expertise, both operationally and strategically, and with experiences of operating in Africa will be able to identify suitable business opportunities within this new context. The Board will consider a wide range of opportunities, but given the prevailing market conditions it is not anticipated that the Company will look to invest in or acquire any interest in mineral exploration, extraction or development businesses or assets; instead, at this stage of the world economic cycle, the Board believes that a strong focus on short-term revenue generation investments will offer better value to Shareholders than long-term, capital intensive projects. The Board will monitor the progress of its portfolio in light of any trends and developments within the region and the wider economy. Central and southern Africa continue to offer great opportunities for successful investments, provided that the correct trends are identified; the Board are confident in their ability to make these investments and translate these investments into shareholder value. The Board does not propose to set any duration on making or holding any investment, but do wish to assure Shareholders that they will seek to provide Shareholders with access to tradeable shares, should an appropriate opportunity be presented in the future.

LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Incorporated and registered in the British Virgin Islands under the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 with company number 1402067 Directors: Registered office: Andrew Groves Commerce House Andrew Burns Wickhams Cay 1 Aboubacar Sampil PO Box 3140, Road Town Tortola, British Virgin Islands To the holders of Ordinary Shares, Depositary Interests and, for information purposes only, to the holders of options over Ordinary Shares 14 September 2016 Dear Shareholder Proposed Cancellation of trading on AIM, Change of Name and Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 1. Introduction The Company has today announced that it intends to seek Shareholders’ approval to cancel admission of its Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM. The purpose of this letter is to set out the background to and reasons for the Cancellation and to explain why the Directors believe that Cancellation is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and, further, to seek your approval for the Cancellation at the EGM. Your attention is drawn to paragraph 10 below which contains a recommendation from the Directors that you vote in favour of the Cancellation. 2. Background to and reasons for the Cancellation The Board has conducted a review of the benefits and drawbacks to the Group and its Shareholders in retaining its quotation on AIM, and believes that Cancellation is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has considered the following key factors: ● the considerable cost, management time and the legal and regulatory burden associated with maintaining the Company’s admission to trading on AIM which, in the Directors’ opinion, are during the current phase of the Company’s life cycle, disproportionate to the benefits to the Company; ● due to depressed market capitalisation of the Company, continuing admission to trading on AIM no longer sufficiently provides the Company with the benefits typically associated with public listings including providing access to capital or enabling the Ordinary Shares to be used to effect acquisitions; and ● the bid-offer spread of the Company’s share price is prohibitive in providing: – a real introduction point for new investors; and – a true and stable price. Following careful consideration, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to seek the proposed Cancellation at the earliest opportunity. 5 242266 Sable Mining Circular 14/09/2016 15:43 Page 5 3. Current Operations The Company’s long stated business objective has been to compile and develop a pan-African portfolio of coal and iron ore assets.

On AIM "Winners" AGAIN
No wonder people are buying these up cheap..... Topping up.
I'm still here also Luke and locked in also. Still have a good feeling about this. Africa is going through a lot of changes and seems to think that rattling cages will give other potentials investors comfort. Just look at Nigeria and the amount of people that are not travelling back there under the new regime as they are all having assets frozen pending investigations. Think it's going to be a very merry xmas.. GLA
For a company that is under the microscope and certainly lacking with information this has to be seen as a positive step. If it was bad news then now would be the best time for a direct RNS as we are currently seeing some lack of belief in the business. The facts are there and clear, this is massively undervalued and actually as strong competitor. With all the uncertainty across all of Africa it will be the big players that will be pursued as the corruption and bribery has been rife. If other big corporate entities were in the region they would too be facing speculation. The leaders in country will have been offered bribes as it has always been the norm this will clear us and open the door to better investment. Happy holding and looking forward to a great 16/17. Don't sell now guys you will recover losses and maybe even make gains. GLA
Can i suggest a slight change in wording........ President Sirleaf has stated corruption is prevalent and there are FAR bigger companies than Sable that are actually "At it" so you have to ask as to the motives behind the GW report......
That's fantastic news, this will retrace back to the 40's straight away now that's dealt with. Never any doubt Wipes brow!! Blue Wednesday GLA
@CrystalBB if this goes very nicely i'll take a few of you on one of my jets!! Keep the faith....
In for a penny Solstace..... Top up while they are cheap!
