You know your posts are garbage, Fenners.
BOD is the legal successor company of African Diamonds, which developed the AK6/Karowe mine that was bought by Lucara about a dozen years ago, and which yielded very substantial returns for its investors. So JT and James Campbell have an outstanding track record of success in this field.
I don't know anything at all about the other companies you mention, and care less.

Well those RNS's have gone down really well...

TBTT - are you aware of the narrative of the rest of the Clontarf companies or are you just looking at BOD in isolation?

20 years of "exploration " failure. Just decades of losses.

Then the same small group of people supposed to be running all these companies all over the world in all these different fields ...and to add in a new AI expert - the same person who has been trying for years to get greenore gold going with Finn as a director and then as a director of a company that provided services ....

And the market isn't buying it....

I would suggest the sycophants and gamblers following these companies are the ones who have been made fools of ...

The people doing this job are Planetary AI and International Geoscience Services, the latter having a multitude of international mining and exploration corporate and Government clients including The World Bank in the USA, The Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK.
In Africa they have done projects across Africa (Mozambique, Zambia, Kenya, Malawi, Cameroon, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Mauritania, Liberia and Sierra Leone, mostly in conjunction with projects often funded by The World Bank.
More specifically and more importantly from a BOD perspective, in Botswana they worked for the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water on a Government-sponsored plan to transform the Department of Geological Survey to a statutory public entity known as the Botswana Geoscience Institute (BGI).

They don't necessarily need a big balance sheet or a herd of employees to do what they do and would appear extremely well equipped and experienced to do this particular job.

https://planetary-ai.space/newsClearly a long term project but at least in by way of partnering with the right organisation.Fit BOD, the most interesting aspect is the potential to find other minerals giving BOD a route to diversification, which given the state of diamond market, must be welcomed IMO.

Since they are attaching such weight to the AI search for targets - they are going with a huge worldwide AI company - surely ?

OpenAI?
Microsoft?
Amazon web services?
Google?
Lambda Labs?

After all there will be a lot of eggs in this basket....
Edit correction missed the "international" bit


its International Geoscience Services Ltd - who have filed abbridged accounts - no P&L and was audited.

Only £4416 of fixed assets - just about enough for one PC with a good graphics card !
Capital and reserves of £769K - but they actually made a profit !

Just 7 employees. presumably the 5 directors +2.

Does this lend credibility to the BOD narrative ?

Hi Perroverde!
I agree that the really big upside is in Botswana.
But how do BOD get the money to explore in Botswana except by ploughing the profits from Thorny River into exploration and development there?
Share placements can only raise tiny "keep the lights on" amounts of money. And it's hard to imagine any other diamond companies funding a JV in the current market.
So, if meaningful progress is to be made, I see the Thorny River licence as crucial.
The good news, of course, is that BOD has no debts and very low overheads, so there isn't a threat to the business, as such. But I'm not enthusiastic about just waiting out the current slump in diamond prices!
Oh well...

For me, the key is the granting of the Thorny River mining licence - now more than a year overdue.
This would fairly quickly provide the revenue to exploit the other exploration and development opportunities that BOD are accumulating. Without it, where does the money come from? Not from equity raises to be sure, because BOD just can't raise that much money by issuing more shares.
So let's hope that is what James Campbell is mostly working on. The delay is ridiculous for a simple licence that he assured shareholders was "easy".

I do think things are coming together nicely for BOD. James has had success before and I believe he will again, only this time it's highly likely by becoming an operator.Across the Clontarf stable BOD is the one operation with assets that have a real chance of delivering shareholder value, and it's being run by someone on the ground actually working (followed by Clon for it's link up with Next-ChemX, forget Ghana and Australia IMO, then PET which has always been a pure gamble, et Al.).The only niggle for BOD is the backdrop of depressed diamond prices - although yellows are highly valued so, for me, this announcement is very welcome.

Fenners - it's just your usual nonsensical grudge against JT.
Yes, African Diamonds, headed by JC, did indeed "win the premier league". And far more recently than the 1990s. And BOD was spun out of that company when its prime asset was bought by Lucara. BOD, in essence, is a play on JC repeating that success. By and large in life, winners go on winning.
And admin costs here are remarkably reasonable for an AIM company.
FYI, the £3m written off is a non-cash item dictated by accountancy rules. I'm relaxed about that.
Finally, you seem to understand nothing about the Thorny River deal. The contract miner is bearing all costs in return for 80%-85% of the revenue (depending on stone size). So, yes, no costs to BOD bar royalties and taxes. Potentially, Thorny River can fund this company and more for years to come - especially given the obvious exploration upside (remember the two kimberlite "hits" reported 18 months ago and not yet followed up?).
All that said, it is still critical that BOD receive the delayed mining licence for Thorny River. And preferably soon.

Fortunately/wisely I only dipped a toe in here - a mini stake to keep an eye on BOD.
So far that eye has seen a 50% fall in share price and gone to sleep due to deathly silence.
Nothing that tell me this is anywhere near EEE & RBW in terms of potential.
Something is needed to avoid joining ARS & others in the "also ran" club.
Until then my stake will not grow from 0.6% of cash invested on LSE/AIM.
