Sad thing is it looks like it’s JT doing the selling! He’s down over 1% since the last company presentation!

Petra getting out of kimberley which looks a sweet deal for the buyer. They must need cash, and kimberley is an antique asset, now up to its third operator.

The trick to learn there is to not overcapitalise, which Firestone surely have done, building a de beers style and class mine on a non de beers style and class resource. Gem did the same, (with some success) as De Beers did at Snap Lake for that matter (with no success). Low grade and high value resources denminate a need for wafer thin overheads in order to perform.

Is this going to show Firestone Diamonds what happens to companies that lose their sparkle ?

How many more are in dire straits ?

There had to be a buyer with the kind of volumes moving last week. Steven Dalton will be seeing the value which others are missing - that is in the relatively near term potential of thorny river, compared to market cap at these levels. Exploration coys are always a punt, but this coy is exploring in areas of known diamond presence; combined with decent technology (mining has moved considerably in recent years thru squeezing generally declining grades in resources with a requirement for much bigger volumes) there is potential for a market gem too.

big news coming!thats why price fell friday to shake out the weak

China wants second bite of cherry
BUSINESS REPORTER 13 HOURS AGO

BEIJING is hopeful its investors will get a second opportunity to participate in Zimbabwe’s diamond industry when Government completes crafting the National Diamond Policy, a top Chinese official said.

Prior to creation of the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company in 2016, several firms — among them Chinese-backed ones — dug for diamonds in Chiadzwa.



These were Anjin, Jinan, Diamond Mining Company, Mbada Diamonds, DTZ Ozgeo, Rera, Gye-Nyame, Kusena and Marange Resources.

Anjin Investments was a joint venture between Government’s ZMDC and China’s Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Group.

China’s Acting Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Zhao Baogang recently said diplomats had indicated to him that they got “very” concerned about investments in Zimbabwe after Chinese firm, Anjin, lost its licence when Government consolidated diamond operations.

He said they pointed out to him that they felt quite insecure if Zimbabwe could treat a close ally like China in such a manner. Mr Zhao said miners affected by consolidation of diamond operations wanted to co-operate with Government to develop the sub-sector.

He expressed hope that President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s new administration was taking a different approach to economic management.

“(Consolidation) happened more than two years ago and now when we have a new Government under the leadership of President Emmerson Mnangagwa and new Mines Minister (Winston) Chitando. The relevant stakeholders say that a new diamond policy will be put forward.



“So I expect that under the framework of the new policy, they could have a new round of consultations and discussions and reach consensus on the future co-operation in the diamond sector.

“I am very optimistic about it because the relevant companies expressed their appreciation and their willingness to join the cooperation, to join the development of the sector,” Mr Zhao said.



He said following the closure of companies operating in Chiadzwa, Zimbabwe’s diamond sector went on a downward spiral and “all sides suffered great losses”.

“So, we have to draw lessons and experiences from this because the two friends suffered losses and all the other people were happy.”

ZCDC expects to produce three million carats this year, up from 1,6 million in 2017; while production could hit 12 million carats in 2023.
