jaf1948 - "PL holds over 7.2m shares so would he be happy to wipe out his own holding ? Why did he not take the low offer and at least preserve some of his investment ?"
I personally have never believed in AIM directors holding shares in their own companies as a sign they are commited to small PI shareholders. That is just my personal view.
My comment about Majedie are justified. Below is a link to the Shareholder Information page.

At 12/07/2016 or even 13/10/2016 if you prefer the later date Majedie had 43,871,088 shares. If you look at the RNS announcements you will note they only started selling down when the proposals for the financing were first announced and so have all the others.
Conclusion
The interim results clearly shows that production is moving up:-
"The Company's current diamond inventory is 7,003 carats. It takes between 30 and 45 days for diamonds recovered to move from the mine to Antwerp and be sold. As a consequence, the October sale will be relatively small but monthly sales are expected to build up to the 9,000 carat base case in the budget by December. "
Again this is my own personal view. As the mine moves into profitable commercial production forces will try to wrestle it from its rightful owners which are its PI shareholders. The Shareholder Information page shows as of 13/10/2016 86% of the shares are in public hands (which is you guys) the other 14% is not.
The various dilutions to come will go a considerable way to reversing this trend. Is it a coincidence that as the company moves into commercial production all these operational and financial issues have surfaced ultimately threatening receivership.
DiamondCorp is a valuable precious stones company. Try and hold onto your stake and the monetary value of your holdings.
