Been here for ages.

Can concur that when it moves it does move fast. In either direction!

Worth watching.

Debswana will have kept a constant eye on BOD - they are after all THE key exploration companies in Botswana.

Al Cook clearly stated that identifying new kimberlites is incredibly difficult and that DeBeers’ ambition is up its exploration in Botswana.

It’s not difficult to see how BOD would fit nicely into this equation. It’s all about timing but my guess is the hat once Debswana fully concludes their agreement they will look to progress exploration in order to future proof their supply having recognised that there will be a supply shortage in the future.

BOD is so cheap right now they could swoop in or, alternatively let JC and the team continue to get ducks in a row before making any moves.

Perhaps a JV is more likely. Either way, BOD is positioned perfectly.

Continuing to hold ;)

Lining up nicely. Just takes a switch in the macro environment for this to turn a corner and get back up to 1p and beyond.

If you can afford to invest now and wait 12-18 months the reward could be significant.

Before positive news would be great.

Blimeyori

There is some speculation within the BOD (Botswana Diamonds PLc) investor community that ZIM is looking to improve international perception generally. Todays announcement could be part of the scene setting ahead of news of a ZIM/BOD agreement which would certainly go a long way to improving ZIM’s reputation.

I maintain 3p is very achievable long term. Eve then I’d hold on to the majority of my shares as well his could go 10p plus. Just look at JCs history. He’ll be looking for another repeat on a similar scale to AFD.

Crazy cheap. When (and it is when) DeBeers future is set and the current diamond inventory is exhausted BOD will be viewed very differently.

Worth looking at previous RNSs to understand what JC and the team are all about. Downside risk at these prices is minimal but the potential to multi-bag is very real.

Likely we will get positive news by the end of the year. Great short term opportunity and life changing opportunity long term.

Hey Awful.

Macro factors have really impacted progress here which is very frustrating.

No consolation I’m sure but I hold over 4m with a higher average than you.

It’s been a very tough ride but I do genuinely feel this could be life changing. I do have faith and am waiting it out just like the rest.

Starting to feel like ‘last orders’ at the bar…

Well done Ziq.

Rocket… lettuce… te he!

Interesting. A troll has arrived. Potentially positive news around the corner?

Hey Butterly.

Top from me…

Read previous RNSs going back over the last couple of years.

Monitor Rough Diamond Price Index.

Remain patient.

Many have been here for years but remain confident.

Good luck.

Just shows how quickly this can move ^^^

‘Plane’ even (doh!)

Get on another plan and see if it improves. Keep repeating until we’re back up at 1p.

Excellent post JP.

All things being equal BOD should, about now, be transferring across to TR and generating some serious revenue.

JVs should be in place in respect of Ghagoo and the piecing together of what could be a significant new mine.

But, we all know that’s not how things tend to go. I guess if it were that simple everyone would be investing in exploration companies…

What sets BOD apart, for me at least, is the people involved (namely JC), their track record, the phenomenal potential and the fact they are entirely debt free.

As JP says, commodities are cyclical. Lots of macro factors at play but BOD remains busy getting ducks in a row waiting ahead of the inevitable change of tide.

It certainly tests one’s emotions as any of the LTHs here will tell you. But the potential financial returns here are incredible and I want to be a part of it when it happens.

Been watching for a while and have dipped my toe.

Scratching my head trying to work out why the SP is where it is. Don’t like assuming the old cliche of ‘there’s a seller’ but can anyone please briefly summarise why it’s so cheap?

Downside risk looks almost non-existent (famous last words…)

GLA!

That’s AIM summed up nicely! ;)
