Agree. Key stage in BODs history as they begin generating revenue. Lots more significant stages to come. Question is will it be license granted on Thorny River, a deal on Ghagoo or perhaps a curve ball that no one was expecting.

At any stage BOD could potentially receive a buy out offer. The macro environment for the diamond market remains strong and prices are forecast to increase due to things such as the Russia conflict and lack of investment in exploration over the years.

Could be a perfect storm for BOD if prices are high as TR comes on line.

A reminder to any new investors, James Campbell and the BOD team have a proven track record. It’s also well worth following JC on Twitter. His updates are excellent and without reading too much into them there are often subtle hints contained within. Most in-subtle of late have been his beaming smile in just about every picture…

Excellent! Thanks Echo.

Hi Echo.

I’m aware of some of what played out with African Diamonds back in the day but wondered if you could summarise or perhaps point us in the direction of places to carry out our own research?

I know the return to shareholders was significant but not sure how it was distributed. Didn’t want to mention‘history repeating itself’ but based on the success achieved last time one has to wonder…

Agree a nice steady increase leading up to the next RNS feels logical (although appreciate logic doesn’t really apply in these markets). The SP fluctuations are pretty academic on my opinion. A steady stream of positive updates over the next few months combined with the limited number of shares in circulation will see the SP leap to new heights ;)

Remember, so many have been holding a very long time and understand the potential of BOD. I doubt many will be selling early. I know I won’t be.

I always zoom in for a closer look on any of JCs Twitter pics! ;)

Hi expart

Just been reading through Rainbow’s RNSs and have to agree that their journey is not entirely dissimilar to what we all hope BOD will experience. A fantastic return for those who held their nerve and ran it towards the top end of it’s value…

Absolutely spot on JP

Patience will be handsomely rewarded.

As someone said recently, the share price is almost irrelevant right now. Anything on or around 1p makes for an excellent entry level as little/no downside risk.

I mean, in all honesty who does not expect the SP to go up from these levels!?

Next stop 2p please ;)

I think will be the hardest challenge here. Many have been holding for a long time and have absolute faith in JC and the team.

This is only the beginning so myself, along with several others, will be holding tight as the story unfolds. A decent haul out of Marsfontein, success as forecast as Thorny River and, of course, a deal secured on Ghagoo and BOD suddenly becomes a serious player with a very high chance of buy out offers on the table.

Just need to keep holding in order to reap the full rewards ;)

Agree… Agnes’s interviewing skill certainly need improving (even taking into consideration any language barriers…)

Just listened to JCs interview with Agnes on Instagram/Twitter. Reiterates the importance of Ghagoo. JC also says ‘when’ and then corrects himself to ‘if/when’ they secure a deal on Ghagoo…

Things could definitely get interesting over the next few months…

Echo.

I echo (!) your sentiments and whilst I’ve not been here as long as some I get where you’re coming from. I’m not running out of patience and am more than happy to watch things unfold.

I don’t think I’d sell for less than 3p. If everything goes to plan I think this could go much higher. I personally think we’ll get an offer on the table at some point during H2 this year…

This is very much about making the market aware of what’s happening with BOD right now.

Anyone of sound mind should see the potential here just by reading previous RNSs.

Evaluating the potential upside vs possible downside makes BOD an excellent investment at this price range. Seeing 5p bantered around a bit which is interesting as FirstEquity valued the company at 6p a share some time back. A bit optimistic back then but as JC and the team start hitting certain key milestones (hopefully hitting a lot of them this year) the 4-6p range suddenly starts to look very possible.

Sorry to regurgitate old news but... from January last year...

'Botswana Diamonds said that following a preliminary assessment of Thorny River’s kimberlite potential, it estimated the asset hosts about 2 million tonnes of kimberlitic material, up from the 1.2 million previously determined.'

“Let me put this in context. The 2 million tonnes is almost twice the size of the nearby Marsfontein deposit,” Chairman John Teeling said in the statement.

Fact is, TR is DOULE the size of Marsfontein and estimated grades are very promising.

Are BOD down playing this a bit? JC is an outright professional and my guess is would rather down play something than exaggerate and under deliver. All part of the excitement :)

Hi Echo.

I think this will truly come into it's own once JC and the team start mining TR. Offers could be on the table ahead of this but they'd have to be significant I guess as BOD look to be passionate to be a full blown miner (over and above what they're currently doing at Marsfontien).

For me, the thing that sticks in my mind is when they pulled 11 diamonds out of the ground when drilling for kimberlitic indicators at TR back in Q1 2021. Correct me if I'm wrong but this was unprecedented. Six holes drilled and 11 diamonds found. All of good commercial quality. It doesn't take many big stones to make BOD's market cap look even more ridiculous.

So for what it's worth I'm waiting to see TR deliver. Not to say I will pull all my shares at that point as I genuinely think BOD has so much more to offer and clearly has a plan to grow.

agree - you'd have to be pretty desperate for funds to sell at the beginning of such a significant year for this company. Just wish I wasn't already in so heavy or else I'd be adding again.

BFFM

You’ll be one of the lucky ones as this is likely to kick in over the next few months. Anyone getting in now will surely reap the rewards!

Thanks perroverde

All looking good. Does make you wonder what it will take to get the SP to move. Either way, we continue to hold :)
