Hardest as in scratch proof. Tough? Not so tough!

Unlike hardness, which only denotes resistance to scratching, diamond's toughness or tenacity is only fair to good. Toughness relates to the ability to resist breakage from falls or impacts. Due to diamond's perfect and easy cleavage, it is vulnerable to breakage. A diamond will shatter if hit with an ordinary hammer.

Like people, depends how you come at them.

I thought diamonds were supposed to be the hardest material known to man?

Katie as well as saving money on second hand equipment they said they could do without a crusher,probably so they don't smash another monster diamond!LOL

I also went to the presentation last night but put my comments on the wrong thread so have a look at FDI threAD

[bubble pricker] 27/8/2010 09:38

I attended last night's presentation. The respresentatives of FDI and KDD made a poor show, both saying they did not understand the fall in the share price. This was despite the fact that the reasons were spelled out for them clearly in the questions: Shareholders are concerned that management are preoccupied with a corporate merger rather than developing the projects and generating cash, and that the shareholders will never see the value of the projects, because by the time they are financed, the equity will have been diluted out of existence.

You mean you got soaked?

not going to be a recession forever, although it seems like it now
demand/ prices picking up

[parsnip884] 27/8/2010 08:42

In a recessionary world, how vital are diamonds ?

[pembury] 27/8/2010 08:33

See the presentation last night went down a storm

KDD Prices bid 10p offer 10.25p (FDI 23-23.25p)

[giant steps] 26/8/2010 13:46

Will a falling FDI (now 23p) pull Kopane below 10p ?

Indeed, so confident is the company in its ability, it has pledged to have dividend payments on the menu within the medium to long term.

Now if he'd said SHORT TERM for divis we'd fly to the moon!

shreksdonkey - you win the coconut.

[parsnip884] 23/8/2010 16:44

That could be summed up by saying two companies with poor focus merging into one company with equally poor focus is likely to foc us off.

Wendy - I know who Nogxina is, who is rubstone then?

[wdurham] 23/8/2010 16:11

If it had been junk mail I wouldn't even have seen it.

And who could resist opening an email from South Africa from someone named Nogxina?

Though as you don't seem to know who Rubstone is, can't expect you to know who Nogxina is, I guess....

[giant steps] 23/8/2010 15:24

Yes Wendy, very nice summary by redstone.

As for the e-mail you received perhaps
your error is to open junk mail !

edit : redstone, should read as rubstone

[smarm] 23/8/2010 15:24

Yep. I'm out.

[pembury] 23/8/2010 15:13

[wdurham] 23/8/2010 15:09

Anyone watching the Firestone thread? Very interesting summary of both JV parties by Rubstone today...
