Another piece in the TR/Mars jigsaw.
Triple the previous ore body.
They are clearly confident that the two will conjoin.
A fascinating couple of months ahead.
Plus who knows what else from the Kalahari.

Excellent news. Very encouraging . Way undervalued . Easy multibagger in the making

May sampling info not available until July
Not drilling to test the guess until August...

When is the next fundraise due ?

I think this was an earlier discussion which I may have got wrong.

Are the warrants that are being exercised @ .6p the free warrants that come with the shares bought at a discount to market price in an earlier 'offer' to some holders?

Sorry Fenners66.

[georgeo1] 07/5/2021 12:32

Alright...but...Fenners69 is also always correct.

[ein4] 07/5/2021 10:37

Fenners, you don't appear to know much about jewellery or Pandora. They are very successful and go for the mass market i.e sterling silver, custom jewellery , not high end stuff. Why don't you go to one and buy yourself a nine carot ring?

[atlas1234] 07/5/2021 10:21

Jewellery yes. Diamond jewelley - no way. Clearly does not understand the jewellery market either.

Pandora as per their published accounts

"Pandora is the world's largest jewellery brand. Known by more consumers and crafting more jewellery than any other brand in the industry, we provide affordable luxury to consumers in more than 100 countries."

Revenue 2020 19.009 Billion DKK
Gross Profit 14.534 Billion DKK

From Pandora press release

"Pandora, the jewellery brand, has announced it will stop using mined diamonds in its products.

In a press release the Danish firm said it would begin to use stones created in a laboratory that would be identical to excavated ones.

“They have the same optical, chemical, thermal and physical characteristics and are graded by the same standards known as the four Cs – cut, colour, clarity and carat,” the company stated.

The move is part of a sustainability push by Pandora. The company said 60 per cent of the energy used to create its new “Brilliance221; collection for the UK, featuring artificial diamonds, had come from renewable sources."


That is the largest jewellery brand in the world saying no to mined diamonds.
A large part of the market

But accepting what is going on in the real world was never a 162 Group gambler's strong point.

Yet another useless comment from one who does not understand the diamond. That value will never be at the consumer, commiditised end of the business in which Pandora operates, but at the real, large gem and fancy goods end which can only be produced naturally and not by synthetic means. Classic rubbish from te serial Teeling hater.

[georgeo1] 05/5/2021 14:14

While the ones deep in the ground are already made...naturally.

[georgeo1] 05/5/2021 14:13

That's right lab grown carbon needs the temperature of the surface of the sun to produce diamond or a single diamond. Yes, very economic friendly..duh.

[1teemore] 05/5/2021 14:01

fenners66-eco friendly!! What planet are you on-stop the spin and get your facts correct. The lab generated diamonds generate a carbon footprint 6-10 times greater than those mined. China is the largest production source of these imitation items (called diamonds by some) with very large energy consumption using coal.

[elmfield] 05/5/2021 11:37

And I reckon the energy required to make diamonds hardly makes them green, probably less so actually.

[georgeo1] 05/5/2021 11:35

Lab grown diamonds my push the price of the real thing down, I expect people would purchase when the price of the real one drops. In the long run a very good investment.

[oldtimer169] 05/5/2021 11:32

lab grown are akin to a classic car replica....sometimes hard to tell the difference from a distance but the purists are always going to pay a hefty premium for the real deal.

[elmfield] 05/5/2021 11:13

Ignore Fenton the Teeling hater.
