Getting better and better here!

Definitely something triggering interest here. While the monetary value of the shares traded is not significant, I personally reckon that the continued activity is a positive sign. The question for me is whether it can break out above 2.2 / 2.3. If it does, it could be off in a big way..... Jmo.

Photo: Flickr.com / Judy van der Velden GABORONE – British diamond miner Botswana Diamonds Plc has announced that its subsidiary Maibwe Diamonds will soon commence exploratory drilling works at one of the Brightstone block of prospecting licences in the Gope region, a kimberlite rich region of south-central Botswana.In a statement released on Monday, Botswana Diamonds said the Large Diameter Drilling (LDD) programme would focus on macro-diamond evaluation while work on the other prospecting licenses in the same area is planned for the near future."The planned LDD drilling for macro diamond evaluation, to be undertaken by Maibwe Diamonds, is to follow up on diamond drilling conducted in 2015 on PL 186 which found a number of diamondiferous kimberlites."The LDD drilling is to confirm the 2015 results and gain a clearer understanding of the grade and size frequency distribution of diamonds.The area is deemed highly prospective for diamond discoveries," the company said.Botswana Diamonds Plc chairman John Teeling said the company already knows that there are substantial diamond deposits on Prospecting Licence Number 186 and wants to use the upcoming drilling to establish the grade and quality of the gems.Botswana Diamond acquired a 15% share of Maibwe Diamonds in 2013 in a joint venture with Brightstone Mining, which previously owned licences on the Gope Block.Last year, Botswana's stated-owned nickel producer Bamangwato Concession Limited (BCL) acquired a 51% stake to take over the entire block.African News Agency

1.5 million an OK trade.

Looks promising.

The Orapa region was first discovered by AFD back in 2004.

Some very decent buying going on.

I believe that the Limpopo mine is a huge one which operated for a fe years and paid off when it was operated by De Beers back in 1990's. Better chances in a huge mine than wasting time on small finds.

AFD trading at 40p still.

[markfrankie] 03/10/2017 22:48

[markfrankie] 03/10/2017 22:46

[ein4] 03/10/2017 18:38

[lordz] 03/10/2017 11:14

Hopefully an update on projects soon.

“We are looking for the star amongst our three key projects in Botswana and South Africa which will advance our company forward. I have every confidence of proving at least one commercially viable kimberlite which will warrant full-scale development,” Campbell concludes.

if that can be brought to bear, we are in clover
