Should be an interesting AGM then

Taken from yesterday's Sunday Times. Sorry couldn't find a link:

"A Canadian billionaire is taking AIM listed group Templar Minerals to the high court over the sale of a mine in Fiji. Walter Berukoff sold the mine to River Diamonds in return for £8.5m in shares in the company, which Templar agreed to buy before the end of April 2008, according to papers filed at the High Court in May. Berukoff is taking Templar to court because he says the deal has not happened. He plans to confront River Diamonds' directors at its annual meeting this week."

Name change for mining firm

Tuesday, August 05, 2008


"We are very pleased with the progress to date of the re-commissioning of this premier gold mine.

"Most of the obstacles we faced have been or are now being resolved. We look forward to continuous gold operations from the mine as we move forward towards full production," he said.

"A lot has been achieved in the short time, since the company took over operation of the mine.

"With gold pours now occurring weekly and the average grades recovered steadily improving, we believe we are now in an excellent position to reach production of 110,000 ounces by the middle of 2009."

I see that Neil Lindsey Herbert has resigned with immediate effect from Templar. He's also listed as a non exec. in RVD.

For all those that want to read the history of the Fijian Gold Mine see the link below. The thesis by Mary Ackley gives a good incite into the takeover by Westech and the environmental and labour problems that beset the mine.

from the original RNS

Does anyone know if TMP agreed to buy new shares direct from the company to achieve 25%+ or just buy existing shares in the market which has no actual benefit to RVD?

[fathert] 01/8/2008 05:41

Could this have been engineered down to allow TMP to get in cheaper ?
seeing as they are in the same office with the same telephone number you work it out

[rjd123] 31/7/2008 08:39

I though TMP was doing a load of buying surely the price would then hold up as they are absorbing the sales??

[seagreen] 31/7/2008 08:36

Nothing wrong with the company (have checked) just have to wait until the idiot finishes dumping into the market

[droftarts] 30/7/2008 22:09

I agree with your sentiments. We no longer hear anything about the diamond side of the business since their involvement in the gold mine.

[droftarts] 30/7/2008 16:34

It is a little worrying, I had hoped for a slight rise in the share price in the run up to the AGM. Also RVD said that they would only issue updates every 3 months from now on so I expect the shares to drift down in between and hopfully rise on any positive news.

[rjd123] 30/7/2008 16:21

SP doesn't seem to be looking positive at the moment, we'll be back down to Jul 07 levels before long!!

[bellonero] 30/7/2008 14:03

hi all,
just recieved a letter stating RVD propose to change its name to Vatukoula gold mines plc subject to shareholder approval on the 15/08/08
sounds to me this company wouldn't go to all that trouble unless they have a positive future or is this just smoke and mirrors ? dyor

[fathert] 30/7/2008 07:02

i am a little wary of the amount of mining comp at the same phone number in the same office using the same receptionist -- i phoned up -- any thoughts anyone

RNS From 21/7/200

River Diamonds PLC ("the Company"), a gold mining and exploration company operating in
Fiji, Sierra Leone and the Federative Republic of
Brazil, announces that its Annual General Meeting will take place on 15 August 2008 at 10:00am.................

Note;.....They're still saying "operating in Sierra Leone"

Wonder if we'll get any news of the licence being re-newed at the AGM?

If RVD are now in production and pouring gold perhaps one will fund the other.
