Be nice if there was a bit more chat about Lloyds on here. Fast becoming the board not to visit for relevant chat. Go find a Euro/brexit forum and have a rant there please.

As i have learned to my cost, no news is hardly ever good news. Expecting the worst from here, should sell out but how can you when you're down so far. Should be £1 by now so where we are at is beyond a joke! Come on BOD pull your fingers out and update the PI's who had faith in you the last few years!! Save us or shoot us by be done with it.

Been in this a few years and I've averaged down and down and down. Enough now no more for me. If it comes good fine but if not going to change the game. All my losses are on AIM and all profits from main market. I am up and want to be further up so the answer to maximising profits and reducing losses is simple. Main market is still very lucrative without all the hassle, waiting, stupid decisions and plain BS that's all over AIM. Little AIM companies are run by people who dream of running big companies but the fact is the vast majority can't even run little ones...excepting into the f#cking ground!

What a complete and utter sham/scam. Positive news over the last 12 months has been wiped out in this fiasco. Rapidly turning out to be another mismanged AIM company bragging but not delivering then sold on the cheap at the expence of PI's. If this "plan" works it may come good but how many more "plans" do they have up their sleeve? It's not rocket science. The kit is in place now so dig them up and sell them! Diamonds...not excuses!! Why the MASSIVE discount?... Results due about now? Big discounts are NEVER for no reason!!!

I have been in this for quite a while. Not a big holding for me but still got decent money invested (�tens of K's). The fact is that until now this company was on the up, it formulated plans and stuck to them, that's what i liked. This latest "wobble" creates doubt and that's never appreciated, by me and especially on AIM. If i were the major lender to FDI and wanted to maximise my profit i would hope that they have a real rough time, share prices tanks, i get tough and negotiate a much larger stake for myself and cash in when/if it improves. Better still i draw all the knife catchers i can then pull the plug and acquire the whole company through a pre-pack administration for �1 (same old same old!). AIM is a rough market and for us little PI's, to not get stuffed we'll have to rely in Mr Brown remembering who has put their faith and trust in him. We don;t get company car's, dividends or salaries but we trust him with our hard earned cash to do what he's said he's good at. He seems a very able guy but panicking now will stuff us all. We need a gentle and consistent flow of positive news for a while, that would make a huge difference. If the next RNS is along the lines of an agreed placing i dread to think where the price will go, maybe 15p or less

I am no expert but my rough take on this is that the crushers were too good at crushing and crushed everything including large diamonds so they invested in sorting the problem. They told us the problem had been sorted and that larger stones could now be recovered, all well and good but they were mining the "allotment" instead of the main pipe (to test the equipment?). This was their "master plan". Now they revise the plan and tell us they will be mining the main pipe hoping to find large stones to offset the rubbish few months (we were told were good) and the depressed diamond price which wasn't exactly a secret to anyone! Is thus HUGE drop a lot of fuss over nothing to allow certain people to cash in at bargain basement prices before a healthy rise? A couple of months ago they secured access to another 5 million in funding that they didn't need, now they have to find more funding BLIMEY how much do you need to cover what you're telling is is a short term glitch? Who knows maybe a clever move by the main backers to drive the price down, force a dilution and mop up the poor PI's who bail out? If the plant was sorted why have we been mining rubbish for so long? Perhaps we weren't certain the plant was working properly? A HUGE coincidence that within a couple of days of killing the price with an announcement of doom and dilution that the biggest and best stone to date was found?? I hate it when companies on AIM behave like this, BOOM! followed by BUST followed by BOUNCE, followed by BOOM? FIZZLE? DILUTION? INSOLVENCY? each one has a 25% chance of being right!! What we need now is another 100+ carat stone, the price would double and we'd be able to smile. Come on BOD pop out to Ernest Jones at lunchtime buy one and say you found it 7 feet from the last one!

Not another AIM company telling us how great things are who suddenly let the cat out of the bag about how bad they are!! FFS. Getting fed up to the back teeth with this. Yet another opportunity to get shafted. Expecting major dilution now and a board of directors haroing on about doing a great job when their job now seems to be nothing more than saving their own bacon! Been in this year's but now tempted to dump the lot with a loss of around £20k. Still up plenty on ftse 100 but knew this one had gone quiet lately and now know why. How the feck a year of good news suddenly turns bad is beyond me!! ON AIM NO NEWS IS ALWAYS BAD NEWS! I would list on AIM myself but lack the relevant qualifications of being a lying, cheating, scumbag. Harsh? Ask someone else who has supported them with cold hard cash earned honestly Expecting them to do nothing more than their effing job! Sticking with top 100 now, They know how to run companies and report results!!

I was looking at this last week thinking "wasn't there a sale a little while ago?...Where's the news?, any news!!" Today i got my answer, the BOD had become tight lipped, giving nothing away until doomsday just like any other AIM stock. Very, Very annoying as they had recently become extremely adept at getting us to believe in them. Securing access to the extra loan facility makes more sense now. :-( Are they slowing down and digging deeper in the hope of finding some larger stones which might offset the reduced production figures and propel it higher? Nice thought but in reality who knows, apparently only the BOD but as a shareholder in the business....LIKE I DESERVE TO KNOW! Crazy way for a company to operate, i own part of it and yet don't know what the heck they're doing! In all honesty i am sure as a PI at some point i'm likely to get royally shafted because that's how AIM works. You would have thought i'd learned my lesson by now, on AIM the the old adage "no news is good news" works...but ALWAYS in reverse.

Everything still going to plan and in fact exceeding it. Good move to extend the loan facility for another year. Being forced to take $5m now to keep this available is fine by me. Nothing wrong with having some cash tucked under the mattress and quick access to more just in case. I am a little surprised that given all the news here is good that the SP isn't climbing. Ideas anyone?

I'd see this as a great buying opportunity "fortune favours the brave" and all that! I am invested in other miners but FDI seems like it has the potential to double your money from this point before the year is out. Nothing is guaranteed but well run so far with everything on track.
