Get up there.

[oneeyedjack01] 07/10/2009 09:09

Much more of a move up and a breakout will be on the cards.. nearly right there!

[bones30] 07/10/2009 09:08

Seems fairly illiquid this one. If serious buying comes in, it'll move up sharply. Only a couple of small trades on PLUS so far today.

Broker report from a short while ago here:



Ambrian have increased their price target from 35p to 39p.

[oneeyedjack01] 07/10/2009 08:58

Yesterday I couldnt top up because the dealers wanted 17.5 even though L2 said the mm's were at 17. They said it was a large order so they wanted a premium but it wasnt... now I know why they were after a premium.

Is this rise just Blackrock buying in or something more going on?

Any ideas?

[bones30] 07/10/2009 08:56

Someone's keen.

[oneeyedjack01] 06/10/2009 14:05

Big volume recently. Blackrock taking up a decent position.

Lemshuko Tsavorite mining videos


also noted this in trading update
The Tanzanite Experience (TTE), a "museum" and retail outlet in Arusha that showcases the history of tanzanite through a series of visual and interactive exhibitions, has achieved a net revenue of $440,000 from cut tanzanite sales for the period. The TTE continues to grow its market share in the tourism market and is planning to open further outlets to compliment its present presence in Arusha

"timming is key"
If you have a long term view, at current prices and with two further sght sales this qtr, and now with Blackrock showing an interest, the downside looks very limited at current price given the company have seen a "SIGNIFICANT" increase in prices.
We also have this coming up

We also now have sales through a JV
The new JV (TanzaniteOne CuttingEdge) is expected to lead
to better operating profit margins by the optimised
grade/price segmentation of a portion of its mined product

Now When you look at the JV partner (TanzaniteOne CuttingEdge)

The JV will also focus on promoting a new classification of B-grade stones
That essentially encompasses the top 20% of the old C-grade.
Historically, TanzaniteOne has classed everything that did not fall into
A+B grades into C. This latter group accounts for approximately 70% of
mined product, (70%!!)

So realising additional value for the top 20-30% of this
range could improve profit margins on mined product.
In facilitating the marketing of this new B-grade sub-category, the JV will
help to educate cutters and jewellers by presenting a range of specific
cutting shapes (hearts and arrows), which can produce stones visually
very similar to top colour B-grade (if BIncluded) or very similar to top clarity A+B grades, only lighter
This is not a new
concept to the market as a whole. Previously, Indian buyers have
demonstrated success in selling similar grades to cutters at a "significant
premium" to that of the average achieved by C-grade stones.

Could be very beneficial considering 70% of mined tanzanite falls in to grade C.

"So, there is nothing wrong with checking for winners among the lesser gems. That is certainly the view of one of London's most successful investors – Dr. Graham Birch who heads BlackRock's Merrill Lynch natural resources team"
"Another little AIM gemstone miner is TanzaniteOne. This one mines the gloriously blue tanzanite in, of course, Tanzania"

Agreed, the price is levelling. I think this will shoot up at some stage; could be in the net few months or could be 6-12m away.

[jimmycarter] 03/10/2009 13:28

I think one will have to be patient with this.

As much as it looks appealing this might still fall further?

Worth getting in but timming is key.

Well worth another posting of the brokers link...

Q)When is 17p really worth 39p?

A)When it is a share in TNZ.

[stateside] 02/10/2009 16:25

Go on then. I'll ask the obvious daft question :-)
Why would the price go down on large buying?

[duncan hammatyme] 02/10/2009 16:12

Looks like Blackrock could be buying more

Watch out for an RNS on Monday or Tuesday

Have a good weekend

[duncan hammatyme] 02/10/2009 15:22

Could be another buyer again, perhaps

The price did this the other day and it turned out to be Blackrock buying

let's hope for more of the same

Have a good weekend to you too. :)

[stateside] 02/10/2009 14:21

Thanks for the brokers note Duncan. V interesting. It'll keep my chin up a bit while the price takes a thumping :-((
Blackrock buys over 5% & the price goes down???? Duh.
Have a good weekend.

Broker Upgrade: 39p

[duncan hammatyme] 02/10/2009 10:28

5.29% of the company to be exact

[duncan hammatyme] 02/10/2009 10:28

Blackrock just bought a stake in the company

[notanewmember2] 02/10/2009 07:43

Cornishman is right, this is still very risky - what if there is a second downleg in the stockmarket - AIM liquidity would just evaporate in an instant. Zip.
