Brom, many thanks, you too.

As a LTH (years now) but extremely rare poster am I delighted with current phenomenal gains. Yes of course but much rather they were on the back of a successfully drilled ,logged and analysed programme which is days away yet. Not sure current gains will be sustained for that long but who knows maybe a cat has been let out of the bag somewhere in Alaska!. Will be interested to see which if any trading exchange stops and blinks first. Not Uncle Sam judging by the drivel emanating from that side of the pond. Good luck whatever you decide.

Another action packed week drifts past in the desert. Lots going on behind the scenes as always I'm sure ! TP

Saw yesterdays RNS flash up on screen and thought for one glorious moment we may have sold some diamonds or heaven forbid , signed a pipeline contract. Alas no . The wait goes on. Enjoy your weekend.
TP

No, but zero communication with shareholders is quite normal here so don't fret. Apparently we're on the cusp of ground breaking and transformational news which has been the case for several years now. So have patience my friend! TP

Sorry to hear you got drawn in at that price along with many others. Sadly the result of a pack of lies and half truths perpetrated by GC which saw a ridiculous and totally unrealistic spike in the sp. Unfortunately some here continue to deify him. By far and away his best move was to have the good grace to recognise his total inability to run a mining company and select someone namely LJ who quite obviously can.
For what its worth we now have a completely different company to the one you invested in with a multi faceted potential income stream and genuine mining guru in charge.
I think if you hang around long enough you will see a good return on your investment but years not months.
Personally I believe the time is well overdue for the pipeline deal to be delivered as we have been told for over two years that there are "interested parties" waiting in the wings. Even with a deal we are probably at least eighteen months from seeing Ta on the shelves, which will truly transform the sp.
I have barely posted in recent times as i have become truly bored with reading the latest GC adulation and what he is doing with other companies totally unconnected to this one.
Grit your teeth and average down if you can as I think this will eventually be a winner. Otherwise have patience as I believe you will see a return in due course.
Good luck.
TP

Thanks for posting the link. Very interesting read. Will follow these companies with interest over the next year. TP.

How do you know they're one of the best teams in the business,they haven't produced anything yet except a sp a fraction of where it was when they took charge. Cue your weekly plug for Ironveld and Barkby no doubt! TP.

We`re now into the third week of September, yet no rns from the bod telling us the current situation regarding diamond output or sales which supposedly kicked in last month. Why am I not surprised?
TP

FWIW, I may have struck a chord with some here. For others I`m a naysayer. Fair enough, too long in the tooth to bother me honestly. I speak as I find.
In truth I DO actually think this company will come good in the end but when that end will be god only knows.
The GC love in, perpetrated by some posters I find baffling given that under his stewardship the sp has tanked from the teens to sub 1p, a monumental fall by any reasonable standards.
The rubbish he spouted when he first arrived was at best economical with the truth and in reality should have seen him hauled before Financial conduct authorities . Many people invested here on the back of this claptrap which is frankly unforgivable.
He was astute enough to realise that he knew sod all about mining and duly appointed LJ who clearly does. Its a great shame his skills as a miner are`nt matched by his ability to communicate with shareholders. C`est la vie.
If as we were told diamond production commenced last month then a rns telling us a moderate shipment was on its way to customer X should have been posted. If not, reasons for delay should likewise have been posted.
The Ta pipeline scenario, another bugbear of mine has been going on for literally years now. Its always just around the corner, matters in discussion, interested third party funding etc etc.
I`ve no fundamental problem with the diamond or mineral acquisitions if they are value enhancing. However as we know mining infrastructure can and normally does cost a great deal so it remains to be seen whether or not one is capable of financing the other.
Time to deliver is now .
TP

And before the usual GC sycophants start yelling "naysayer", I`m not. Heavily invested here and have been for years.
Seen the sp crash from the teens to its current paltry level.
The time is long overdue to extract some bloody product, sell it and bolster the balance sheet along with the sp.
And while your at it have the good grace to keep your long suffering shareholders properly informed and on a regular basis.
Heartily sick of hearing "jam tomorrow"
TP

The usual avalanche of news !!
Are we fully operational re diamond extraction?
Who is the end user? What sort of volume?
Presumably this sphere of the operation along with Heavy minerals will be shrouded in the same veil of secrecy as the Ta.
A less than exciting thought.
Still, its a mining business and they can take years to bear fruit so thats ok.

DTN, good post. Echoed my sentiments entirely.
Sick of the endless rampathon, time for this bod to deliver.
TP

very slick. An industrial estate in Wales. Bet that creates a good impression. TP.

A 2.5p sp represents in excess of a 300% gain from current level which in normal circumstances would have investors cheering.However since many of those bought in at +10p levels the cheers may be somewhat muted. We`re constantly told of many behind the scenes activities and the wonderful potential of new acquisitions . Time is long overdue when some of this enormous "potential" is reflected in the share price. The phrase "long suffering" may have been coined for shareholders here.
TP

A 2.5p valuation!! how exciting. All those investors who bought in at +12p must be reaching for the bubbly!
TP

Well to be fair they`ve been waffling on about being on the cusp of a pipeline deal for a couple of years now and we`re still not much the wiser however things to seem to be progressing and we do have more irons in the fire now than we did so I`m cautiously optimistic.
TP

Regarding the pipeline I`ve long thought that its finance is jorc dependent , namely the Ta end user will bung in the finance once a clearly defined jorc has established mine lifespan and Ta quality. Hence the ongoing delay.
All IMHO of course.
TP

Well we can all dream I suppose but let`s get some decent news on revenue streams, pipeline etc before we all go nuts.
Definitely a positive sign though.
TP

Well at least he has an incentive to make this work though that was never one of my doubts. Always good however to see the top man have a vested interest in terms of holding stock.
