Vast Resources – the latest bad news really is a fair Cheryl Cole analogy

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?

Vast Resources: bailout placing, still technically insolvent, no news from Zim ( cheque not even in post yet)

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.

Vast Resources – was the Zim Diamond heist a spoof after all? GM Called for more confetti issuance

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.

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.

Petra Diamonds Dissembles as the countdown to doom continues, 13 days to go

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:

Gem Diamonds Disposal – Very Confusing

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.
