The Gym Share Discussion Threads

Held firm over the recent turmoil and now moving upwards on consistent buying.

Someone wants to get hold of the company so we can look to the price moving up to around the £2.80 level. Any higher and they would have to pay £4 plus to get hold of it.

Another 50p and that will be the end of the current rise. But will the bid come in before that?

More to play for here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ostrading2] 15/1/2016 08:49

It's 265p not 365p. Apologies! Growth continuing, 365p shouldn't be demanding in any case.

[aphrodites] 15/1/2016 07:25

Ostrading

Thanks for that. Good to hear that Numis has caught up with the valuation I am looking for.

Numis broker rating - Add - Target price 365p

It is rumoured that an interested acquirer of stock has sold a few shares in an attempt to take the top off the recent rise. The aim of course is hopefully to shake a few institutional holders into selling in these very shaky markets.

Any reasonable size that is offered is being snapped up and the buyer could well be working hand in hand with a MM.

The share price has held up very well over the last few days and I have added a few more to my portfolio on this mark down.

[aphrodites] 12/1/2016 23:38

This share is cheap as chips even after todays rise.

I understand the institutions who were allocated shares were prepared to pay a lot, lot higher price.

And there are interested parties circling who would love to get their hands on this business.

With lots more growth potential, fitness being the name of the game, cheap membership and 24 hour opening, what more could you ask for?

And which likely suitor is big into Social Fitness??????????

A take-out price around £3.50p a share is easily on the cards and any bid would have to come quickly before the price rises even further.

Forget Numis price of £2.50. He is well behind the game!!!

[ostrading] 07/1/2016 17:15

Nice rise today! Looks like it is motoring on!

[mickeyb] 04/1/2016 09:33

I've picked up a nice amount of these shares after a bit of research and seeing 2 recommendations as being a share to invest in for 2016.

Time will tell.

Numis has initiated coverage of The Gym Group Ord 0.01p Wi with a Buy rating, price target 250.00p

[martinthebrave] 16/11/2015 19:19

Bought in this morning. Great growth opportunity both as a "roll out" and for tapping in to a growth market. Should be capable of 20% EPS growth per annum when it gets going and obtaining sites with low rentals to sustain that growth should not be a problem.

John Treharne, Chief Executive of The Gym, commented:



"Today marks a significant milestone in the development of The Gym and we are delighted at the strong levels of investor interest and support for our IPO.

I wouldn't touch em with the proverbial bargepole. This all takes me back to the late 70's when more than a handfull of Ausie Gold stocks hit the market. I can't remember their names (mental block) but I know I had bad experiences with two of them (cause of)

Let the Australians buy them!

Under the David Williamson Associates headline, "Strong growth expectation on two fronts", here are the latest highlights on Gympie Gold Limited:

* Gympie Gold is developing a large tenement area in Southern Queensland, including the entire Gympie goldfield, which historically produced over 4m ounces of gold. A small high-grade goldmine was commissioned in 1995, based on previous exploration and development, funded by BHP Gold. A subsequent highly-successful exploration programme has identified sufficient resources to support a high-profit margin expansion to at least 100,000oz pa by end-2001, with considerable further upside potential.

* Exceptionally high-grade blocks of gold-in-quartz are being converted into rare jewellery items to be marketed through a leading international dealer, providing the potential of significant downstream income.

* Gympie's Southland Colliery is a recent amalgamation of established mining and treatment infrastructure with a 60Mt reserve of premium high-fluidity coking coal in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. This is supporting an operation capable of delivering 1.5Mt pa of high-value coal by end-2000 with current capacity of 2.5Mt pa.

* In November, 2000, we visited both operations and the head office. This onfirmed our positive views of the projects and management skills. The stable balance sheet and strong cash flow expectations are well able to support aggressive expansion programmes. The company plans to separate the gold and coal businesses into definitive equity vehicles, which will return value to shareholders and should attract wide investment attention to longer-term growth prospects. With a market capitalisation of only A$70m, an estimated potential NPV of over A$200m and post-tax operating profits of around A$30m pa in 2002/3, Gympie must be rated a strong BUY.

These shares are up about 1/3rd recently.
Will they follow numerous other recent Australians to these shores?

David Williamson Associates Limited are hosting a lunch presentation by Harry Adams, managing director of Gympie Gold, an Australian mining company that DWA say is entering "an exciting growth phase", at the London Capital Club on Monday, December 4.

Gympie (ASX: GYM), which has a market capitalisation of A$52m, has a large tenement area in Southern Queensland, including the entire Gympie goldfield, a prolific source of gold around 1900.

Gympie commissioned a small high-grade underground goldmine in 1995, based on A$30m exploration and development funded by BHP Gold in the 1980s. This has been followed by a highly-successful exploration programme that can now support gold output of at least 100,000oz pa by end-2001, and there is considerable production and exploration upside potential.

Numerous high-quality gold-in-quartz specimens recovered are also marketed at considerable premiums through a leading international jeweller.

Gympie has also consolidated adjacent coal operations and leases into Southland Colliery, providing the largest source of premium high fluidity coking coal in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. This rationalisation, together with upgraded working practices and handling systems, has resulted in an operation capable of delivering 1.5Mtpa of high-value coal with scope to increase to 3.0Mtpa.

Gympie has demonstrated impressive management skills amd, with a stable balance sheet and strong cash flow, is well able to support these aggressive expansion programmes.

Having achieved initial targets, Gympie may look to separate the gold and coal businesses into definitive equity vehicles that will return value to shareholders and should attract further investment in longer-term growth prospects.

David Williamson Associates Limited are starting a European investor relations programme for Gympie Gold Limited (ASX: GYM), an Australian mining company that claims to be entering an exciting growth phase.

There follows a summary of the principal points of the September quarterly report and a brief corporate overview of the company. The annual report for the year to June 30 will also soon be available.

David Williamson Associates will be making a site visit to both the Gympie gold property in Queensland and the Southland coal property in New South Wales in late November for the purpose of preparing a research report for publication in December.

Harry Adams, Gympie's managing director, will be hosting a lunch presentation at the London Capital Club on Monday, December 4, and invitations will be sent out in due course.

GYMPIE GOLD LIMITED

Quarterly Report: July 1, 2000 - September 30, 2000

PRINCIPAL POINTS:

EXPANSION ACTIVITIES ARE WELL ADVANCED

* Both Gympie Gold's businesses, Gympie Eldorado Gold and Southland Coal, are in the midst of major expansion phases.

* Monkland Mine at Gympie is being mechanised to expand gold production. Planning indicates production grades increasing to about 10g/t gold, which places Gympie among the highest-grade gold mines.

* Construction of the new Lewis Mine is on track and will increase production for the goldfield to 100,000oz gold pa. The official opening was on Friday, October 20.

* Southland Coal is commissioning the refurbished longwall mining unit in new panel SL2, where the Greta Seam is over 5m thick. Production is planned at 1.5Mtpa semi-hard coking coal at less than 7pc ash and fluidity above 5,000 ddpm, the highest quality of its type in Australia.

GOLD EXPLORATION

* New stockwork blocks have been located on 12 Level. Stockwork block 6A, discovered in April on the same level, is over 35m wide containing more than 124,000oz at an average grade of 12g/t.

* Surface drilling on targets for the new Lewis Mine has encountered stockwork mineralisation and five new stockwork zone targets have been identified. Stockworks are ideal for bulk mining from a modern mechanised mine like the Lewis Mine.

INTRODUCTION

* Gold production 8,373oz at a cash operating cost of A$344 (US$189)/oz, which is 30pc less than the cost of the previous quarter. This improvement is due to the development and mechanisation that will deliver further improvements when completed.

* Coal production 57,658t as the longwall is being upgraded and moved.

FINANCIAL

* Cash and bullion now A$2.5m. Credit lines have been expanded to finance the continuing rapid expansion.

* Current gold sale hedge contracts have been expanded and increased in price from $A500/oz to between A$520 and A$540/oz.
