Every AIM company I invest in has it's drawbacks.
This is not a company it's a lolz gravy train ...

[lippe] 12/9/2017 13:29

Horgan and Teeling aka AIM's version of Burke and Hare ...

[novicetrade68] 12/9/2017 13:21

Yep, the upside is massive and risk/reward is good. Am in as well for a punt.

[chapchip] 12/9/2017 12:59

fenners...you ll never be impressed by anything Teeling & Co......

[fenners66] 12/9/2017 12:55

Fairlight - if one does not read the RNS carefully one might make the mistake of thinking they were writing about their own mine's yield and price per carat.

They couldn't possibly want that could they?

It is potentially misleading someone should point that out to the directors...

And who exactly bought the other 400m + shares?

So finally the market gives them a hard time and they have to subscribe to some shares in order to sell the rest to raise the money to pay the salary with which they pay the borrowings that they used to buy their own shares....

And I'm supposed to be impressed?

Any hints about who the offeror for Ghaghoo is?

Very happy to see everything is progressing , shares very tight at the moment , I expect the upward trend to continue. The liquidater dealing with the Botswana license expects to have it sold by this Christmas, should bring in a big player which will suit Botswana Diamonds as drilling will proceed quickly. We still do not know the results of the last few drill holes but we will in time probably after Newco buys in, could be quite exciting?

I have been buying BOD recently and wish to build a decent holding - however I do think the constant references to other diamond mines in the recent RNS puzzling, if they hadn't just had a fundraise I would think a placing due myself. The RNS says nothing apart from they have done some drilling.

So are they hinting it will be good (by comparison with nearish mines), feel the share price is way too low, or ramping for a placing?

I must admit I am slightly confused - James Campbell has mentioned the payback on a mine (he was involved with I think), Marsfontein Mine was 4 days in recent podcasts as well as this RNS. I am surprised the nomad lets them do this what possible comparison is there? or do they know something we do not?

Fenners.... If you dig a bit deeper into the last fundraising ( brilliant as you appear to think you are, this won't be a problem for you!!! ), see who actually got involved? Establish how much of the money was put up by family and insiders?

Now, as these guys are not known for being exactly stupid, you need to be asking yourself why....... You are asking yourself why, right? I mean, anyone as obviously brilliant as yourself, would be asking that question, right?

[elmfield] 12/9/2017 10:46

Yep, the gamg must be ignorant as well putting so
much of their own cash and friends' cash into this;
If it goes wrong they won't have many friends left,
Ho ho.

[fenners66] 12/9/2017 09:59

So you cannot answer how far away .
No surprise; the ignorance of their followers is factored into the fund raising equations.

[elmfield] 12/9/2017 09:47

Better to filter him,
Benders will never get over making a few bad calls.

[leedskier] 12/9/2017 09:43

fenners66, if the company found another Koh-i-Noor, you would claim they seeded it.

[fenners66] 12/9/2017 09:42

Look at the latest RNS by Ashtead - have they said that URI have just started a fundraising?
NO they refer to their own company results etc.
But then that is an example of a company that does stuff, has turnover and profit - completely unlike ALL the Clon companies.

[fenners66] 12/9/2017 09:40

So just answer the questions - How far away are the examples of drilling results?
Why NOT give out their own drilling results?
Nearest I can find is 50km away - to try and claim any success by association with these is meaningless and yet it serves as the most emphasised part of the RNS - WHY?

[leedskier] 12/9/2017 09:28

Same old same old from you fenners66.

Are paid by the post?


fenners6614 Sep '12 - 01:29 - 777 of 2988 0 0

Are you guys fully aware of the links to PET and Clontarf here?
Same directors same address etc.
Are you aware of the allegations made in the states against the directors?
Check out those other threads.
Obviously there are some very unhappy shareholders over there.
There may be serious implications for the directors here if found guilty of allegations. Either way its going to deflect management time and focus......

[thecynical1] 12/9/2017 09:27

Fenners...... Do you ever get tired of being miserable?

[fenners66] 12/9/2017 09:19

How about this regurgitated attempt


"Ontevreden is close to the Petra Diamonds Helam diamond mine" good news by association always a Clontarf tactic


As I said last time tried to find them and best I can find is they are 50 kilometres apart !!

They make some right rubbish up - they have a 100m x 70m pipe and its supposed to be associated with something 50km away .......


Desperate , next fund raise is when exactly?

[leedskier] 12/9/2017 09:02

What is there not to understand about the RNS?

[leedskier] 12/9/2017 08:58

Botswana Diamonds has issued a further update on its Vutomi joint venture in South Africa.

It said 17 holes had been drilled on the Zebediela project and large diameter drilling was scheduled to commence in October.

It said geophysics outlined the size of the Kimberlite discovery at Ontevreden as a minimum of 100 metres x 70 metres.

Chairman John Teeling said: "Intensive exploration is ongoing at our two main projects in South Africa, Zebediela and Ontevreden.

"At Zebediela the drilling has identified where best to site the Large Diameter Drill programme beginning in October 2017.

"At Ontevreden, geophysics has outlined the size of the previously announced Group 2 kimberlite discovery which is currently estimated at 100m x 70m metres."

[fenners66] 12/9/2017 08:18

Its all modus operandi tell a story and back it up by association with someone else's (or in this case 2 other) mines.

Never tell the whole story why?

History tells us that with the Clontarf mob everything turns to dust...

[talkman2] 12/9/2017 07:52

[emilio] 12/9/2017 07:33
