Maybe JC is holding out to provide a more ‘complete’ update?

Production figures for the month would be interesting but for me i’d be perfectly happy waiting longer for a more rounded update including TR, Ghagoo and other projects.

Hopefully the below link works. A reminder of how successful Marsfontein was for any current/new investors.

And TR is expected to be twice the size…

Smart move TR

I think some will look back in 12 months time and wish they had invested more. As will all investments, one needs to be comfortable with the size of their position vs risk but when the market works BOD out the SP will be unrecognisable from what it is today.

I wish I could top up but I’m already fully committed here so like many others, am just waiting for the story to unfold.

My hunch is that history will repeat itself i.e. a buy out offer will appear once all ducks are in a row. Very similar to African Diamonds several years back. That was a real success for all parties and whilst reference has been made to TR not being a ‘company maker’, it has been assessed to be TWICE the size of Marsfontein with anticipated high grade stones. Any of the major players out there looking to secure supply for the next X number of years with all the hard work done will surely see BOD as a very, very tempting purchase…

Deffo feels like a private members club sometimes. Not necessarily a bad thing as those in the know are simply holding tight.

Nice to share the journey with the knowledgeable, sensible people on here. Looking forward to the day when we can all pay ourselves on the back for remaining patient and not losing faith.

Very, very happy with that.

You don’t smile like that unless you’re really, really pleased about something ??

I’ll certainly be practicing my ‘gloating’ leading up to the big day ??

The article by Capital Power states

‘ The Marsfontein project serves as a precursor to the larger Thorny River project, which is due to enter production during the second quarter of 2023’

Sounds a tad optimistic that the license will be granted and then we go full swing into production at TR within Q2. But I'm guessing they’re quoting information that BOD have provided?

Would be very impressed if production at TR commenced by end of June…

Definitely can’t rush this stuff. To be fair BOD are making pretty steady progress and generating income through Mars is a smart move. Before long the TR license will be issued and, as we well know, there could quite possibly be a Ghagoo update at any time.

I’m already conditioning myself to the idea that, even with all this in place, the SP may not fully reflect fair value. May take diamonds being mined at TR or (more likely) a buy out offer to propel the MC to where it really should be.

Either way, the will continue to hold for gold… er… diamonds! ;)

Crikey, now that really is a tenuous link!

I know JC drops the occasional cryptic hint but I’m not sure on this one. Agree however that the picture did look out of sorts…

Tempted to switch off and walk away.

If I stick my mobile number on here can someone just text me when we hit the jackpot..?

Agree. Good to see you back Thornyriver!

I wonder what the SP will be the day the plant is being commissioned at Thorney River..?

Rock’n’roll indeed!

A significant step for BOD. Feel privileged to be a part of it all ??

That last sentence was a statement!

No idea where the ?? came from (fat fingers ??)

Excellent point Echo.

Fortunately I have a bit of experience with losing my nerve on other investments where I should have remained patient and reaped the full rewards. I believe you have to experience these things first hand to ‘feel’ the emotions. Lesson learnt.

BOD is stands out as being somewhat different and whilst I would never claim to have ‘fallen in love with the company’, there is a big part of me that is willing to see this all the way through because it feels like such a positive, exciting company to be a part of.

Previous successes achieved by JC & Co made history (Marsfontein). I truly believe we’re on a similar trajectory and I for one am very happy to remain a part of it ??

Just for fun I predict 1.5p by the end of this week.

That’s based on no news.

I wonder if we will get confirmation via an RNS? If so it could be this week…

I have to say I’m with PaulFG. Really does depend on how things unfolds. If JC and the team fully deliver on their strategy then who knows? Perhaps top slice at 5p and ride the rest?

However you look at it, we’re in for an exciting time regardless. I have a feeling next week could be quite lively…
