Cathal and Kevin are clearly confident in H1 for the Lahtojoki permit which is why they are having discussions with others about mine development. Hopefully they have been given a significant nod from the authorities...

The plan is to develop the green diamond target (and others in Kuhmo?) alongside the Lahtojoki deposit, so the assumption is that they may be planning to develop the province as a whole, not just Lahtojoki as a standalone project. There are clearly economies of scale to develop more than one deposit. As Cathal states "we'll be looking to be progressing these side by side, as one will feed into the other".

If a deal gets done here for the development of multiple deposits, or for all of KDRs diamond deposits, that will have a major impact on our value whatever the structure of the deal, as we're currently valued at under 800k (unbelievably!)

Just trying to get factual information. At 5.30 and 8.05 they are discussing Seitapera in my opinion, but that takes nothing away from the fact that the green diamond target has the potential to be incredible for us, just need to drill it...

As has been discussed on here several times, they are clearly stating that Lahtojoki holds the key. Now in Q2 of H1...

Morning Steve, hope you're well?

Could you clarify who "we" is in this statement? "We think Kuhmo is bigger"

If this is the case, then there should be companies banging down KDRs door.

Tick up from me Steven49. I've just checked, and that is some excellent counting. Good luck to you too.

All the data points to these two diatremes containing diamonds, including green diamonds. Whilst it's impossible to value at present; if proven with drilling, I would have thought most diamond companies would be interested in this due to their rarity.

As we have seen from Lahtojoki, the presence of pink diamonds can dramatically increase the potential value of a deposit. The same applies to the green targets in Kuhmo, where KDR are systematically revealing that a new diamond province exists on the Finnish side of the Karelian craton. How many other licenses contain coloured diamonds?

Green diamonds are among the rarest and most valuable types of diamonds. The cost per carat can vary significantly based on factors such as color intensity, clarity, and size. Here are some general price ranges:

Fancy Light Green: These diamonds can cost around $50,000 to $100,000 per carat.

Fancy Green: Prices for these diamonds typically range from $100,000 to $200,000 per carat.

Fancy Intense Green: These are even rarer and can cost between $200,000 and $500,000 per carat.

Fancy Vivid Green: The most sought-after and rarest, these diamonds can exceed $1,000,000 per carat.

"Green diamonds right there!"

That's the summary from today's RNS, which they obviously wanted to get out quickly once the results came back from ODM. Perhaps there will be a follow up analysis RNS showing the locations/distribution of KIMS etc. But in short, KDR are confident that the latest results back up all previous testing and the EM survey, which has delineated two diatreme (carrot) shapes. Something nice for them to talk about next week...

As they say in the in the RNS, "the most necessary next step is to drill"

Unless there is some wider reaching agreement being worked on for the Kuhmo diamond province, I would have liked confirmation that we are going to carry out initial drilling on the green targets as part of the recent fundraise RNS. I'm hoping this was only omitted for the above reason OR they couldn't categorically say because they are still awaiting the extension from Tukes. We need the winter weather to hang around a bit longer too.

Lahtojoki yes. I'm talking about page 34 and more recent information on NI.

I'd hope that the latest presentation went out to KDR's collective address book before it was uploaded to the web, and long before it was announced that we were looking for strategic partners. But that's just me.

It’s also unreasonable to expect that the company will have signed a contract on a strategic partnership by the last day of PDAC (unless we’re already talking to them), so let’s keep it sensible.

Picked up more this morning, 2025 is now or never...

That's why I'm gonna hold off buying for the moment. A lot of rumours appear when placing shares need to be churned... If you're average is 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc, won't make a massive difference if they start to attribute serious value through these projects. I think strategic partners will come, but the immediately after a raise? I would be surprised, albeit pleasantly.

Well that answers my question on whether they have enough left to drill the green targets! On current cash burn rate, that could fund us up until September. In the meantime, they will need to get these strategic partners on board.

The green diamond targets are still there, and ready to be drilled. Hopefully we can now utilise some of the funds to carry this out ourselves once the permit extension lands.

I will leave the "3" bashers to it : )

Significant funding for any of NI/Kuhmo/Lahtojoki will start a decent re-rate. I'm still hopeful that we have a few quid left in the tank to drill the green targets (following the summer raise) but management have not confirmed this. I guess we will see once the exploration extension comes through from Tukes.

Kevin also seemed to think that the latest ODM results should be through before or around PDAC, so likely within the next 2 weeks. Increasing/significant KIMS would further reinforce KDRs excitement around the green diamond targets that Kevin is already referring to as "a stonker". Either way, there will be a lot of interest in this drill from 3rd parties.

I hope Ed Miliband has watched it?!

I can only assume that the details of his estate are still going through due process and once that's done, KDR will update. I.e. As it stands, it may not be factually incorrect?

More positive news for KDR, the long termers and/or big holders keep increasing. Not everyone can see that apparently...

Excellent presentation update.

There's a lot to like Hoops, but it's not just about what you've got. It's also about when you've got it, and the stars might be aligning...

The premiums for coloured diamonds show no signs of slowing down, at a time when existing supplies are running down (and have run out at Argyle). Hit the green motherlode, and this becomes extremely interesting.

Copper and Nickel are also still very much in demand. Very large deposits in safe mining jurisdictions will be in demand.
