Looks as if JQW are doing away with the interim trading update - they updated at the end of June after all - and are going straight to the Interim results. Today's RNS "JQW announces that the Group will be publishing its Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 on or around Wednesday 23 September 2015. The Company has had a number of discussions regarding the appointment of a new UK-based broker although no final decision has yet been made."

mtuk1 is quite correct - only RMB quoted in the Interim Trading update - here is the link to last August RNS http://www.investegate.co.uk/jqw-plc--jqw-/rns/interim-trading-update/201408140700060759P/ and to the pre-close trading update in Feb 2015 No date has been announced for the Trading update - nor would I have expected there to have been such an announcement. I expect it will be sometime before the end of the month. Good to see that the ask is back to 8p - where it was at the start of Wednesday. http://www.investegate.co.uk/jqw-plc--jqw-/rns/pre-close-trading-update/201502160700399410E/

So the next higher quality Kagem emeralds auction to look forward to is at the end of this month - from the recent market update RNS - "Gemfields' next auction of predominantly higher quality rough emerald from its Kagem mine is scheduled to take place from 31 August to 4 September 2015." Large buys at 64.75p yesterday pm has led to today's modest tick up.

Last year the interim trading update was 14th August so maybe time to get the tiniest bit nervy would be near the end of the month - but investing in JQW has to be for the nerveless contrarian - if the update is good then we should have a few more of those buying in - the guys who are able to disregard country (China) market (AIM) and sellers (OMPs) and decide for them selves where this sp will go over the next couple of years. GLA who are long.

Fortunately JQW has nothing to do with CAMK.

translate "Gimcheon network" into Chinese using https://www.google.co.uk/#q=english+to+chinese paste the 3 character result into a google search and much will be revealed there - I have made it easier for you!

Apologies that came out garbled! ADVFN can cope with Chinese characters LSE cannot it seems. Google search with English to Chinese Type in Gimcheon network to be translated into Chinese and copy the three Chinese characters which appear. Paste them into a google search to view much JQW info. - but use the translate option for each result.

Googling with 金泉网 (Gimcheon network) - which is the Chinese from which the JQW acronym is derived - and then selecting the translate option for each result - provides much info. Interim trading update due mid August.

Well above the ask for anything more than 10k now. No sells today....

3 brokers raised their targets on 22nd July - http://sharedealing.nandp.co.uk/broker-views/GEM/Gemfields The largest increase on that ruby JORC RNS on the 22nd was Investec - 69.9p up to 90p

My last post should have said on "average every 8 months". Working back from Nov 2014 it intervals between the auctions of predominantly higher quality rough emerald from the Kagem emerald mine, were 9,7,8,8,8,7 months... An August 2015 auction would be 9 months from the last Kagem emerald auction.

Since 2010 there has been an auction of predominantly higher quality rough emerald from the Kagem emerald mine every 8 months. The last one of these was in November 2014 so an August 2015 auction would be 9 months from the last Kagem emerald auction.

Prelims in September according to today's RNS.

Gemfields plc (AIM: GEM) will announce its maiden JORC resource at its 75% owned Montepuez ruby deposit in Mozambique on Wednesday 22 July 2015. The Company will be hosting an analyst briefing at 09:30 GMT on the day. A live audio webcast of the presentation will be hosted at the same time; details will be available within the announcement and on the Company's website. If you would like to attend the presentation please email Gemfields@tavistock.co.uk.

Just a reminder - QP. had an extensive write up in SCSW last month - "explosive growth trajectory"

todays RNS - key points - The acquisition of NuPharm provides Quantum with a platform to greatly extend its manufacturing capabilities which have, until now, been limited to the production of single, bespoke formulations that are made-to-order. The Acquisition will introduce batch manufacturing and licensed product manufacturing capability to the Group, and provide a number of opportunities for synergistic benefits to be realised: The addition of NuPharm to the Group will be earnings enhancing from early 2016 after a period of integration, operational and quality process improvements and system investment in the second half of this year. Quantum is also pleased to announce that it has secured new banking facilities with Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Bank plc comprising a term loan of £25 million and a revolving credit facility of £10 million.

18th June RNS Playtec 9.36% If Playtec now, say, hold 10%, the percentage of the remaining shares – those eligible for the Plus500 vote on 16th July – goes up from 35.6% (1st June RNS directors holding) to 39.5% - some way short of the 50% needed for a “yes” vote.

see my post 351 " the Directors intend to resume the payment of regular dividends" this from the chief group executive's statement 30th April 2015 http://www.investegate.co.uk/jqw-plc--jqw-/rns/final-results/201504300700207748L/

I received 5.2p per share. The decimal point is correctly placed.

From the finals RNS - 30th April 2015 For financial year 2014, JQW has declared a total dividend of 5.2 pence per share (an interim dividend of 0.2 pence per share as well as a special dividend of 5.0 pence per share), with approximately RMB 101.6 million paid out as dividend to shareholders on 23 October 2014. In light of the significant amount paid at that time, the Board has decided to not propose any final dividend in respect to the financial year 2014. Going forward, the Directors intend to resume the payment of regular dividends, which will take into account the Group's profitability, growth, availability of cash and distributable reserves as well as expected financing requirements to develop and expand the operations.
