Scratch - you are correct- if this board was restricted to serious investors - small, medium or large, it would be so much a better place. Everyone is entitled to express an opinion, but when some are simply ignorant, rude or completely baseless, then those such individuals should be banned. Having said that, I doubt that serious investors pay any attention and more importantly, with companies like DGI, such individuals have zero impact on the SP.
Let’s be really clear about DGI - I’ve said this many times before- this is simply a stand out opportunity - once production and/or licensing takes place, this is one share that will deliver many multiples of it’s current price.
I have researched the company in great detail and those now at the helm. Anyone doing similar research would come to the same conclusion- a real stand out opportunity.
Swazers - you seem to miss one very fundamental issue here when trying to use DGI’s SP against your alledged charts. Charts are generally used as a support tool for investors on long established companies with an established trading record. Whilst DGI has been around for a while, it is still in its formative and somewhat transitional stage- using charts on such an entity is a complete and utter waste of time. Charts have no bearing on what this company will be delivering shortly. For someone who seems to have a basic understanding of investment, I’m surprised you made such an elementary mistake. I’ll be interested to hear you comments on charts when DGI’s SP is a multiple of where it is today.
I find it inconceivable that his wife wasn't aware of the regulations - quite frankly using that as an excuse is laughable.
The key point here though, is that it was Broughtwood's wife - not the wife of any of the three new directors. Whilst this appears a breach of market/reporting guidelines, I cannot for one moment think that this affects the operational or administrative side of the business. The potential here is still as huge as it was before this announcement. Its far too easy on these boards to get sucked under by a headline - wise investors will always look behind such stories and decide what if any impact such a story would have on the business in its entirety. This will pass, albeit someone will get a slap on the wrist - we can then continue to focus on the tremendous potential of DGI.
Some fairly decent logic put forward re valuation. One issue though that seems to have been overlooked is that the suggested valuations only take into account the current project. As the company moves forward with production, it will become cash generative - I doubt that the BOD will simply sit back and be satisfied with just this one mine. Most mining companies when cash generative, will be looking for ways to spin up the cash being generated. IMHO, this will lead to further opportunities/sites being sought. If that becomes the case, then the value can only increase. As a LTH, I'm not too fussed what the value will be in a few months time - for me, even with this single mine and the gold opportunities, this is a stand out investment on AIM. add in the aforementioned potential and this could well go on to being an outstanding opportunity. In any event, even if we just stick with the current project, the SP will increase several fold from its current price.
A company with probably world beating products - eventually. The problem is the operational costs - 189 employees - total operational costs c.£23.3m. Effectively, that means that the company needs T/O of £23m just to break even - last year's T/O just over £2.0m. Ten fold increase needed if costs remain static. Would be a shame for this to go down, but any smart potential purchaser will undoubtedly wait for Administration and look to simply buy the assets by way of pre-pack and leave the debt behind.
Further capital raises would be almost impossible, given the amount needed when taking into account the current share price. Hope that it doesn't go down - we need more companies like this in the UK - albeit ones that have a BOD who are more financially astute.
A highly professional presentation, and for once on AIM, backed up with solid, honest and provable facts. I’ve been a LTH in Kodal and will continue to be so. There are so many AIM companies that promise so much without the asset backing to follow up on such promises, yet still occasionally top the daily percentage chart before falling back and going into reverse. Kodal is definitely not one of those - it is perhaps one of, if not the best investment at these prices - in my humble opinion. I put it on a par with DGI - another absolute steal at its current price.
Looks like Saitta could be in trouble - their RNS today doesn't bode well for their longer term future as an independent electric drive train business - could be an opportunity for DGI. Either way, I doubt it will be long before we get our own RNS detailing the next stage on what is to be an amazing journey for LTH.
Excellent post Staylong. Like you, I’ve been accumulating with the sole aim of holding long term. From my own research, which is detailed but perhaps not quite to your extent, I have concluded that this company has the potential to provide investors with a significant return. It has a highly competent BOD who are well respected in this industry, a track record of proven products and technology, and operates in an industry that will undoubtedly generate huge demand for DGI’s products.
You only need to look at the previous couple of RNS’s to see and understand the clear intent of the new BOD.
For a guy that is such a prolific poster, you'd expect him to have some modicum of understanding of such an outstanding opportunity as DGI. Sadly, he's like a lot on here - believing that he either knows more than us mere mortals or simply spouting in the misguided belief that his comments will have a bearing on the price of a share - simply wrong.
DGI, with the new BOD is simply the best potential investment that the market has right now. The company has a proven track record of development, albeit with grants rather than its own income and now has three guys who arguably are leaders in this field. A fair way to go before we see profitable revenue streams, but simply as an investment at this stage, this share has huge potential. Its a shame that EOA cannot articulate positively, when with his years at this, he must see the potential. In any event, who really cares about EOA - its those of us invested that will benefit.
Goodluck- this is a completely different entity now with the new BOD. There are far better places to do research and glean information than Stockopedia. Such sites are usually historical and slow to react to news - as is evidenced by your own comments- not having a dig at you- just an observation.
As for timings, I’m pretty convinced that we’ll be seeing a number of positive RNS in the near term. These are highly competent individuals with a proven track record at one of the world’s most valuable companies for getting things done.
Just depends on whether or not, the BOD and FRP have planned for a pre-pack. The rules on pre-packs have been tightened considerably in the past couple of years meaning that FRP would have to show what detailed marketing has been undertaken to determine whether a better deal could be obtained than the proposed pre/pack.
We need our BOD making contact with FRP asap, if they think there is an opportunity here.
Following FRP's imminent appointment as Administrators to AMTE, you could maybe be waiting for an RNS advising that DGI is bidding - geographically, not quite the right fit, but pretty much everything else is. We'd then have a plant in which to further develop, plus the IP etc. Long shot maybe, but with our new BOD, this could be the first and really cheap foray into a long line of new ventures.
Staylong- an excellent piece of research and well written post - so refreshing to see an informative and educated post. I invested immediately after the RNS about the new team and will be holding long term. Given what’s already in the pipeline plus the potential for many other projects in an industry that is front and centre of Governments’ and large MNC, I think 20x from here - that would be £320m is perhaps a tad shy. This really could be a £1b plus entity once new products start rolling off the production line. You only have to look at what Tesla was valued at when it was losing $20k on each car it produced. Different industries, but similar principals.

The news is only just getting out, but it won’t be too long before serious investors and funds take notice - some already have. Right now, it’s all about the potential, given the poor financial performance to date, although the previous board did well with R &D as is evidenced by the sheer aggregate of grants they secured. Over the next few weeks the SP will be all over the place with day traders in particular dipping in and out. That will in the main, reduce significantly once the SP breaks through the 1.5-2p barrier.
By then, the new BOD will hopefully provide some clearer idea of their intentions on projects and investments - at that point those who have bought in sub 1p will see significant uplift. These new guys are serious and industry experts - just check them out.
Medium to long term - who knows - but this must be one of the best, if not the best investment prospect right now on AIM. In fact AIM might not be the right platform once these guys get going.
