Yes, the potential Khalarhi multiple mines in Botswana deal would be fantastic. You have bought in at a time many wished we could have, but we are often at 1p+. Even then, once Diamond market improves, and US market where REAL diamonds are sought, we have a brilliant base to move from. Also, very importantly in my mind, two extra points to BOD 1. James Campbell is the Top man in this industry and especially in Africa. 2. No debt linked to higher interest rates, like so many other companies.

Agree, all funds in place, or I would look to increase, but have a large slice here already. A lot going on, if not always 'telegraphed here' . In the end, there is one simple part... diamond prices will start from here, to settle and increase. This will invigorate the mining and in that a need for future 'high quality and special stones', which Botswana in particular has.

Yes, that has been the plan that James has been wanting for quite some time. There is alignment there, just look at the presentation James have last month, that I mentioned and James reposted today on X

Great to also see James reposting this, telling us what can be the next Big step for BOD https://www.slideshare.net/JamesAHCampbell1/the-economic-diamond-potential-of-the-kalahari-of-botswana

I'll try to place here if I believe I can. Good work is occurring.

I speak weekly with James. Each time he is at these 'presentations' he is in dialogue with the people who we need to work with either now, soon or in the future. I appreciate that such information is not seen here via official channels. James is working diligently on Thorny River last Water Permit and future work in Botswana.

I have been told we will have an Annual Results RNS prior to Christmas, possibly before end of month.

I was told that information for the year end report - RNS is in the works, that we should have details before year end. I understand your frustration. There is a lot in the works and would say, take a look at - https://www.slideshare.net/JamesAHCampbell1/the-economic-diamond-potential-of-the-kalahari-of-botswana?from_m_app=android released today.

We are in a Diamond dip, in regard customer sales. But... Behind that is a significant lack of exploration, mining, as there is also a glut of held diamonds.

We will come out of this, and with segmentation of market, with Natural diamonds being the Queen to Lab Paupers.

Patience... As you can tell, so many if us have the faith,band we hold.

The future is a Bright Southern African billions of years old Diamond, mined through Botswana Diamonds.

With so much happening in the world (including in Middle East), we could see Oil prices rise. This may have an effect of pushing society to more reneamble sources, such as NextEnergy. Thoughts?

Well, we are a position in which BOD is moving from sole explorer to miner through Joint Ventures. With such a drop in Rough Diamond prices, the timing on the mining of Thorny River and through partnerships elsewhere in SA and Botswana are hoped to time well with an upswing in mid to late 2024. Many have said before, this is a share to have with patience. Only the froth is sells and buys, the rest is held tightly by LTHs who are listening to the market and most importantly the MD James. I am hopeful, that one day, as James has before with African Diamonds, we will see a big uplift/buyout of a mine/dividends and people will think, I wished I'd bought some that.

There won't be a Trading Update as LSE said there would... comms from BOD indicated they hadn't indicated this, so they weren't sure why LSE did. Still, a lot going on at FACETs... so hopefully some great partnerships occurring.

With the major conference in diamonds taking place in Botswana today, is there a hint that Ghaghoo mine will be sold... a reason for the slightly larger buys at this price?

Well... we have the, major Diamond event happening right now in Botswana and BOD are very much at the centre. I'm sue some exciting conversations are occurring... and with a Trading Update on Thursday, the day after the event, I'm hopeful of some good news.

Yes, James indicated the 1,600 was older data, so we'd hope for higher, but also to be noted the work on the new blow will have lowered take over last few weeks, but of course will hopefully see a bumper amount in that blow!

Little buy from myself ;-)

Something to think on... the more we (that have delved deeper into BOD) buy, hold, because we see medium to long term success, then... the less float there is. This means that naturally the price should stabilise/rise. We all know that if a company came now and offered 1p for our shares, that the vast majority 90% I assume or more would laugh away such an offer. As we know that this is a share with no debt, moving from explorer (which it is great at) to JV miner (too keep costs down), that if it proceeds well, which it seems to be at MARs, then Thorny River, we will not see a need for BOD to dilute shares / ask for more funds. Then... longer term, we could have 'dividends'...

No worries at all. A lot of negative news in the world pulling us all down. It will change for the better ;)

Owning 1% or thereabouts of the company I am sure helps. But, also, just go check your socials. Here are two videos as well that James sent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQsvBCjxCBU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1E12gMWa2c

A few of us are in contact with James. Basics. Global markets and global Diamond markets not in a great position (which we all know). But, here at BOD we have no debt (unlike so many other companies - that are now servicing such debt at higher interest rates and finding it difficult to find new sources of finance. Also, we are moving from explorer to miner (and that is going well - just security issues are stopping financials from being released yet. We are waiting on only the water license for next bigger project at Thorny River. Then we may have a leftfield announcement of joint venture in Botswana. A lot is happening, now it is medium to long term. So, patience is needed. Look through the last 5 years of SP... it tumbles and jumps. As many are also seeing, lot's of tumbling going on in shares across the Aim board in particular. Fundamentals of BOD are sound. certainly much better than in many other shares.
