Fast expanding company involved in Coal mining and transport of coke to power stations.



The Maltby mine is producing 1mill tonnes of good coking coal a year just work out what that is in value..I would not be surprised if there is a bidder willing to take this on at 8 a share .

Some big buys this am now moving ahead.

Another positive start to the day and one of best performers since 2008.

Spike up.

WHY

Spike to 633p and now 628p.

Good start to the week..

turnover up 170%
Pre tax profit up 85%.

Artemis small companies fund bought 10% yesterday a good sign that should help the sp.

still keeping an eye on this one mitzy. Fortunately, I recently sold out of uk coal recently @ 410p. HSP looks more defensive.

Bounces off 450p everytime Gus.

Buy says the Mail on Sunday..
