Not sure I understand your real question... what is upsetting you? Q1's in most companies that I have invested in get reported nearly halfway into Q2... what's the panic? It will get announced and then it will be public. I wish I had a crystal ball... or a diamond one.... to answer yoiur bust or no questions... really... only the insiders know.... I hardly think any of us are insiders.

Q2 is what we should be looking at more seriously anyway. Full production started when people? April 1, right? That's the start of Q2, not?

I don't care if this stock does not become a ten bagger... such are few and far between. Hey, a pre-consolidation of a buck in 5 years would be a nice return...

2005 Q1 came out around this time last year, so I would guess that we should be hearing something pretty quickly. This week? I would think prior to the meeting. But just a WAG!..... Wild A__ GUESS....

Well i take it you dont work there or know someone that does, some of you here know that i work for tahera....i have seen the diamonds nice oness at that, better grade then first thought a couple of years ago, and for musk samples, they are looking better everyday ,every sample coming in from musk are getting better and better................if you can't hold on get out and sell your shares, alot of people want them bad, i'm glad i see them everyday and see and know whats going on there at the site and i'm very glad to be employed with tahera and i'm sure am glad im aslo a shareholder and not selling anytime soon

When I went to the Calgary Resource Conference last week, the Coffin Bros were saying 2006 could be the year of a major diamond discovery.

They liked shear's chances but also mentioned stornoway and diamonds north.

No mention of tahera though...

I see some folk here need some 'learnin!'
An R/S is not a share buy back! Yikes... hope you're not controlling your own investment!
(kidding... I know everyone has to learn somewhere and sometime!)
Posted this before, but I guess we need it again!

--------------- Oringinal Message Below --------------------
Let's start getting the word out to others NOW... still a month to educate other Tahera investors before the impending RS... long investors need education so they hold tight and don't end up being suckered into selling and losing money or selling for minimal profits! We need the head start now, the INTERNET is a GREAT media source to get the message out, so let's ALL help get this message below out all over because as sure as heck the bashers will work their crooked and twisted angles when the RS is voted on, trying to scare impatient suckers into selling at discount prices...(feel free to paste this message on other sites!)

And a Note to OTHERs: (PLEASE READ for your own sake...)
It is surprising AND scarey, how many people really don't understand the workings of the reverse split (R/S or RS) to increase share value and EPS!

If you bought at .80 and are waiting for your $1.10 target (like Sprott's customers)

That translates to a $4.00 buy price after the R/S and a $5.50 sell TARGET AFTER an RS! (and that's a very low target IMO!)

Example, Don't THINK that $3.50 is 'good' after an RS... as that's ONLY .70 in pre-RS terms!

Rememeber the exchange ADJUSTS the price up 5x when the number of shares decreases 5x! Focus on that... TELL OTHERS too... since many people 'THINK' $3-$4 is good post-RS when IN REALITY, it's MUCH LOWER than the .83 we just came from! (.85 = $4.25 after RS)
Don't get fooled by the bigger numbers... do the math... anything under $5 after an RS ($1prior) is still a super discounted cheap price, and you can get much more than that after the RS with all the investors that will be trying to get in!

The R/S is JUST being used to reduce the float, NOT the total combined $$ value of your holdings! The market CAP (capitalization or MC) STAYS the same after an RS!

MC = shares x current price

Pre(before)-RS:
MC = 820Mil shares x .90/share(PPS) = $738,000,000

Post-RS: (instantly becomes)
MC = 164Mil (previous shares/5) x $4.50/shr (PPSx5)= $738,000,000 (same amount!)

So... DON'T get con'd by the mind gamers, con artists and uninformed when they say the price 'might' be $3 after an R/S... because that is NOT HOW IT WORKS... That is WAY TOO LOW (since you have 5x fewer shares, and your new buy price just went up 5x) there is NO 'might' in mathematics... and $3 is really only .60 in present terms which is a low 'joke' of a cheap price!! (especially when ALL brokers are targeting a MINIMUM of 20% - 100% higher than that before the end of the year!)

If you're not sucker enough to sell under .70 now, then x5 =$3.50, so why would you be a sucker and sell under $3.50 post R/S????
(or under $10 after if you were targeting $2 before for example)

The R/S is being done just to INCREASE the trading price by a factor of 5 for large institutions and solid mutuals that want to buy in and need the bigger price to meet minimum price per share BUY-IN requirements, and when you cut the shares by 5x, the price just gets adjusted UP 5x instantly... basic math!

All targets instantly go up 5x, etc! Sprott's summer target of $1.10 becomes $5.50

and that's still WAY under the new 2 year $30+ target I'll have with 5x fewer shares out there!

Remember your math... don't get suckered into selling!

Tell others too... you'd be surprised how many seemingly well educated people don't get the RS concept to increase the price via reducing shares, and that is the main reason why sometimes people don't make as much post RS, because they really end up selling at a loss, thinking they're selling at a bigger price, and not seeing the failure of their math by comparing their 5x fewer shares and thus their adjusted 5x higher buy price!!! Take your buy-in average price, .60, .70, .80 and multiply by 5, and that's your new BUY (book value) price... $3.00, $3.50, $4.00... so if you had 'low' targets of only 100% profit in a year say, you'd now be waiting for $6.00, $7.00, or $8.00 respectively!

REVENUE and EARNINGS being announced soon make ALL the difference... this is NOT like a shell corp RS many 'penny' investors may have seen before... TAHERA HAS PROFITS COMING IN NOW PEOPLE... you're investment in Tahera just entered the big leagues you can't have penny stock mentality anymore... so make sure you LEARN and KNOW how the big leauges operate before you GIVE AWAY your shares under $10 after an RS!

Remember the BIG SHAREHOLDERS with 100's of MILLIONs of shares are holding tight! Want to make money like they do? THEN follow their lead and hold tight... revenue from diamond production rolling in right now! Don't give away your chance at extra profit :-)

JMO... Have a great day! Don't forget to educate others! :-)

This board seems to have developed a severe case of pre-announcement nerves... I would say to Tahera1 that if you have such deep misgivings about the stock then sell. You'll sleep easier at night. (I know all about this having bought into a small gold and diamond explorer which was so volatile it made Tahera look like WalMart! In the end it made me about 250% but I'd probably spent most of my profits on Prozac by then...) However it would be a strange time to sell Tahera just before the first details of production appear.

OK sermon over - Investors Chronicle here in the UK, had an interesting article this week about diamond juniors (listed in the UK so no mention of Tahera of course). The gist is that world demand is out-stripping supply.

Rough mine supply in 2004 was $10.8bn versus demand of $11bn.

By 2012, demand is expected to hit $14bn, creating a $3bn shortage in rough-diamond supply, which the world's major players - De Beers, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Russia's Alrosa and Aber - just won't be able to satisfy.

One analyst estimates that prices will have to rise by 30% between now and 2012.

There's a lot more besides but Tahera are achieving production at the right
time. On the issue of management bagging a load of shares - I don't like it much but at least they feel they'll end up rich. We should all take a leaf out of EnviroCat's book and think serene Zen thoughts,

Regards

A tip of my hat to CAM for his efforts on stockholder education
Good day and good luck to all
Charlie

Let's all just go to that happy place....

ummmmm.......hmmmmmm.......hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

There.... zen-state achieved!

Have a great day and remember... Tahera's the very 1st junior to achieve a mine! Enjoy it as the revenue begins to roll in!

Rio Tinto's mine , Argile, in Australia is set to close in 4 to 5 years. Argile at one time produced one third of the worlds diamonds. I saw this on a show on TV once last fall.

I have never voted for any stock in all the years I've been investing in them. I always thought that things will work out for themselves. I'm voting this time. I have four brochures from four different accounts and they are getting four no votes.

Nice. You know.. voting via internet is so easy.. would much rather that than via Smail. Now, hopefully the votes are all counted legitimately. Irregardless... shareholder apathy is one reason why principals have such sweet deals. Vote irregardless... and maybe if enough vote, it will make a difference. On this and any stock.

Someday, I might even go to a shareholders meeting... :-)

You are so right about the shareholder apathy. I've been trading for 10 years now and I'm still learning. This form has been a great help seeing the positive and the negitive. I live on the edge of Toronto and I'm so pissed, I'm tempted to take a day off work to see just what goes on at these meetings. Another learning experience. I'm tempted! I still have an order in at 0.51. Maybe tomorrow.

I also thought about taking 1/2 a day off, just for the heck of it. For me the meeting would be almost walking distance from my office. I think Tahera could use a training in PR skills. The longer they annoy small shareholders by not releasing the Q1 results on time as "promised" during the last phone-in conference, the more likely that people will send in their proxy votes that are not going to be favourable to the board and management (especially item 3). They must be pretty sure that the big votes will swing in their favour, otherwise they would not risk to "alienate" the small guy. Just my opinion. And one other thing: If someone could explain to me (what was suggested here before) why let's say a mutual fund (CIBC for example) that has so many millions of Tahera shares would want to dilute their unit value by voting yes to item 3? How is it in the interest of the big holder and not so much of the small one? Just wondering.

A return of a buck in 5 years, what are you insane!! not to be ruce but give me a break man, youll wait 5 years for it to go to a buck,, man you need to get up out of investing man, and stick to some other mutual funds or somethin'
I expect big things with tahera man, i want this baby to shoot up to the 10 dollar range in a couple of years, damn why not? It has all the potential to..Unless the big boys wanna run with the money...Rbc purchased 50 thousand shares yesterday hmmm. not to be but good either..
Anyway i say screw a dollar i want 5 by this year, anythoughts?

I really don't think the big banks care about share dilution. They are big enough to weather a storm. If they believe in a company and think the company is solid, they will just buy more when the price goes down due to dilution. In time they know the share price will go up and their mutual funds will look real good. We should use this as an example for ourselves. But watch out. don't be missled by a buy from a bank. The bank may have done a cross trade within its own company. A cross trade could be as simple as a trade between the desk of a equityfund manager to a precious metals fund managers desk sitting side by side. In Ka-hoots. White colar crime. They do this to make their funds look better. Next week they switch them back at pre-arranged prices.
