Oh dear, Oh dear! Vast Resources (VAST) has fessed up that only 98% of the low quality diamonds tendered for sale last week were sold and that the net proceeds from what was sold were a paltry $1.09 million. It is now in crisis.

On 21 October AIM Sewer posterboy Vast Resources (VAST) announced that the first tender for sale of its diamonds would, at long last take place this week, the week beginning 17 November. That ramp allowed yet another bailout placing , raising £2 million at 0.18p. Today a grim update.

It has been a long time since we had a butcher's at Julie "Lingerie and sex toy on expenses" Meyer MBE (gong, courtesy of Vince Cable). But my attention is brought to a video of Ms Meyer singing the praises in the most effusive of fashion of Mr Vashi Dominguez. the man is clearly a genius.

On 12 June Vast Resources (VAST) insisted that the first parcel of diamonds released by the Central Bank of Zimbabwe would be sold “within weeks”. Natch this “good news” saw the shares ramped and, as night follows day, the company raised £2.7 million at 0.35p saying inter alia this was for general working capital.

Vast Resources (VAST) says that it is “pleased” to announce what turns out to be bad news. I imagine that London’s worst Nomad Roland “Fatty” Cornish signed off on that particular gem well into Friday’s 15 course lunchtime feast. This is all to do with those diamonds locked up in the central bank in Zimbabwe which Vast said back in February would soon be recovered, promoting a massive share price ramp enabling some bailout placings. So, what is the news from Harare?

What’s not to like? It was back on February 6 that Vast Resources (VAST) said that it had received a Court Order that it could get its mitts on a parcel of rough diamonds stashed in the Central Bank of Zimbabwe and that sent the shares soaring to 0.7p.

Since 6 February this year Vast Resources (VAST) shares have soared, notwithstanding one bailout placing, on claims that it would very shortly be getting its mits on 129,400 carats of rough diamonds held in “safe custody” at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. Even as the shares raced ahead to almost 0.7p shareholders in this company with shite assets and run by charlatans were still sitting on 99%+ losses such as been the industrial scale value destruction via share issuance and boardroom greed over the years. Today came some reality. And then like Vast’s dreams they fade and die…

Vast Resources (VAST) has today confirmed that it should get back the diamonds it owns but which have been locked up by the Central Bank of Zimbabwe for years. But this does not solve its cash crisis, indeed it’s a confirmation that a bailout placing is needed ASAP. The clue, the morons ignore, is in the RNS.

Yesterday, Petra Diamonds (PDL) issued an RNS which sounded like good news: “Recovery of Five High Quality Blue Diamonds”. Feck FYB thought the morons and the shares jumped by 10%…but this was dissembling. For beneath the bullish headline was not such good news:

Maybe I am just thick but today’s news from AIM listed mining stock Gem Diamonds (LSE:GEMD) that it is to sell its Australian diamonds mine at Ellendale has me utterly baffled. You see the price tag just bears no relation to its balance sheet value. Needless to say it is the price tag that is far lower.
