Do we know where the AGM is yet?

[sirianbotham] 14/11/2017 15:00

Closer than 200m is peeing distanceNot had chance to fully read yet but something to talk about on 21st.

[thecynical1] 14/11/2017 12:12

Don't complicate things with questions..... ..... : )

[cornishtrader1000] 14/11/2017 11:39

Does this RNS relate to Riihivaara, Seitapera or Lahtojoki?

[keysersosse] 14/11/2017 11:21

Smoking bandits indeed as predicted by a clever lad...

Folk seem to be missing the bit re previous sampling......and critics think they're sat there doing nothing hahahhahaa..
Just 12% sampled SO FAR.....and results pretty dandy.

Major clue as well re the "indicative of a shorter transport distance from source"....

Folk just need to research fully and comprehend what's unfolding here.....

More bandits to come ?

Shelling peas isn't it ?

Fair point Ladybird with results due anyday not long to find out.

[ladybird1] 14/11/2017 10:08

Given the timing and lack of immediately valuable substance, looks a bit like a softener before the Results?

Rosgeo the latest company to join the search for diamonds in the karelian craton. The area is hotting up!!!

DIAMONDS IN PRIMARY DEPOSITS IN THE ARCTIC ZONE OF KARELIA

ROSGEO will study the promising for diamonds Zarechensko-Sokoloozerskaya area. The relevant state contract has been signed by the holding company. The site is located in the Louhi Region of the Republic of Karelia.

JSC North-West PGO (St. Petersburg, the enterprise is part of the ROSGEO state holding) will directly carry out the work at the site.

‘We will have to identify promising sites of ‘bush’ rank of kimberlite bodies, Oleg Vasin, Managing Director of JSC ROSGEO, explained, ‘to carry out a complex of geological, geophysical and drilling operations, draw up a forecast map of the area diamond potential at a scale of 1:100,000, and, in case of discovery of kimberlite bodies, to evaluate the inferred resources of diamonds by the P2 category.

The project documentation has been compiled and submitted for examination. The following types of work will be completed this year: field geological and geophysical work, identification of promising local magnetic anomalies, preparation of recommendations for the direction of further geological exploration for 2018, aimed at studying promising sites of ‘bush’ rank of kimberlite bodies and magnetic anomalies of the pipe type.

The completion of all types of works, stipulated by the contract, is planned for the fourth quarter of 2019. By this time, geologists must provide an evaluation of resources and their recommendations for subsequent geological exploration in the territory.

Love this bit:

The potential of the kimberlite source to host diamonds is higher than previously indicated 💎🇫🇮 We know it hosts Diamonds as we found a green one!!! The 2nd most valuable colour you can find after red 🇫🇮💎 Now the KIMS are backing up the evidence of the green diamond find 💎🇫🇮

[cornishtrader1000] 14/11/2017 07:59

Surely it's a basic piece of information. Again it may be in there but I can't see it.

[diamond hunter] 14/11/2017 07:55

It's the unnamed one .

[cornishtrader1000] 14/11/2017 07:50

Unless I've missed it, which claim area is this more?

[thecynical1] 14/11/2017 07:47

Bares.... Hilarious.. : )

[rbonnier] 14/11/2017 07:39

thecynical filtered appears to be rather clueless bares a grudge for whatever reason and is making themselves look very silly best ignored imo.

[duplicate book] 14/11/2017 07:32

Price at close of play today then?

[goldeneye5] 14/11/2017 07:31

Closing in on the jackpot?

Electron Microprobe Results Indicate Increasing Proximity to the Diamond Source
Results Further Increase the Diamond Prospectivity
Thirty Positive Mantle-derived Garnet Minerals Recovered (4 “G10” and 26 “G9”)
Karelian Diamond Resources plc (“Karelian Diamonds”) (AIM: KDR), is pleased to announce positive Electron Microprobe results on the three samples showing high indicator mineral counts, as reported on 25th September 2017.
These results indicate not only that the likely diamond source is very close to the current exploration area, but also that the potential of the kimberlite source to host diamonds is higher than previously indicated.
The new results show a significant increase in counts of mantle-derived garnets: thirty grains in 135kg of samples versus twenty-six grains in the previous 990kg of samples taken in the diamond target area. Of the thirty new garnet grains eight are also in the larger size range (0.5 to 1.0mm) compared with only one of the twenty-six previous garnet grains; an increase in grain size is indicative of a shorter transport distance from source. Mantle-derived garnets tend to be formed at similar pressures and temperatures as diamonds.   
The ratio of harzburgitic or "G10" garnet grains, known indicators of diamond prospectivity, versus lherzolitic "G9" grains has also increased two-fold, from 6.2% in previous sampling to over 13% (4 of 30 grains) in present sampling.
These new samples yield 53% of the total mantle derived garnets (G10’s + G9’s) from only 12% of the total material sampled to date in this area (135kg of a total of 1,125kg). The concentration of total garnet grains in the new samples has increased to 22.2 per 100kg from just 2.1 per 100kg previously, an order of magnitude increase which indicates increasing proximity to the kimberlite source.
These results are supported by observations of other indicator minerals. The kimberlitic chromite grain counts also increased from 2.3 per 100kg to 7.4 per 100kg, indicating increasing proximity to source and significantly the percentage of chromite grains lying within the diamond inclusion field, indicating their growth in association with diamonds, increases from 13% (3 of 23 grains) to 70% (7 of 10 grains) also indicating increasing diamond prospectivity.
This release has been approved by Kevin McNulty PGeo, who is a member of the Company's technical staff and holds a BSc/MSc in Geology and Remote Sensing, in accordance with the guidance note for Mining, Oil & Gas Companies issued by the London Stock Exchange in respect of AIM Companies, which outlines standards of disclosure for mineral projects.
Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman, Karelian Diamond Resources plc commented:
“We appear to be getting closer and closer to the source of the diamond which we discovered in the area, in January, and this source appears to have increasing diamond prospectivity.”;

[thecynical1] 14/11/2017 07:08

Have they found your paint tin?

[rbonnier] 14/11/2017 07:05

Very close to the source very very nice indeed

[thecynical1] 14/11/2017 07:05

They were waiting for "promising results" . LOL!!!!!!!! 6

[rbonnier] 13/11/2017 14:50

Here is to hoping you are right shambaby and I am wrong should find out this week rns now imminent

[shambaby] 13/11/2017 13:48

Bonnie more to it than meets the eye IMHO

[rbonnier] 13/11/2017 13:07

Does sound great but reality is they have nothing at Riihivaara otherwise they would not have gone silent for 2 years of no news it's a dud imho.

[goldeneye5] 13/11/2017 11:59

They will probably include a line or two about the AGM on to the end of the Final Results rns. My guess is an rns Wednesday or Friday this week. If we get an rns confirming Riihivaara to be diamondiferous that would be a start.If we get a hint that RTZ believe Riihivaara to be economic then kdr share price would be off the scale. Sounds great, but the reality is they have said nearly nothing on Riihivaara for a couple of years!
