Long term value We wont be stupid and just keep on pumping in money if its clear it will come to naught, chief executive Johan Dippenaar said on Monday after Petra reported its annual results. Were monitoring the situation carefully.The mine contributes about 6 per cent of production and 11 per cent of revenue this year, the share price has dropped more than double that amount since the announcement.I have bought some as they are a well established and leading player in the diamond mining industry. It also has an impressive diamond resource base of approximately 312 million carats.

Re: Time to buy! I think Tanzania is a very big problem. You only have to look at Acacia Mining. I don't hold Petra but I do hold Gemfields via Pallinghurst Resources after the recent buyout. John Magufuli is making the country completely uninvestable for resource companies.
Re: Time to buy! Bought in at 74.1pFundamentally looks OK to me. Mixed trading update but revenues increasing. Tanzania an issue but shouldn't be a huge influence if one looks at the bigger picture.I'll buy more on any further weaknessJC
Re: Time to buy! When do we hear more about the Nigeria mining situation...?
Re: Time to buy! Ecologist, you asked, 'Someone is cheating, but who?'Tweak the question a little. 'Someone is being cheated, but who?'. That might lead us to a better answer.
Re: Time to buy! The plot thickens .....Tanzania says that Petra undervalued the shipment (see link) while Petra says the Government is responsible for the initial valuation (see RNS i posted earlier).Someone is cheating, but who?[link]
Re: Time to buy! Looking at today's news now is probably not the time to buy. This is the same thing that has happened to Acacia Mining
Re: Time to buy! Something very odd going on in Tanzania. Can we anticipate that the UK government will get involved or are they too busy with BREXSHIT??Any news from the High Commission and Her Excellency Madam Cook?But an over reaction by the market, i believe[link]
Re: Time to buy! Toady, you said that back in February You may well be right this time though.We'll know for sure come mid September.I bought in at 110 so I am also very interested in the debt situation right now.Good luck!
Time to buy! Surely at this price it's a good investment!. Can't see this share going lower. At this price it will create an interest. Time to stock up.
