It's easy to see why this is back down 25% today.
From the recent placing RNS:
Andy Yeo, CEO of Baron, commented:
" We now have two major projects progressing towards key evaluation points - Chuditch PSC (Timor-Leste) and P2478 (UK) - both of which are material in terms of potential value, equity interest and prospective resources, with relatively short timelines to potential drill decisions. In particular, the additional monies committed to Baron will be sufficient to reach a decision point on Chuditch. There remains the final push to be done in the form of the interpretation of the reprocessed 3D seismic data, which is expected to commence in June and we look forward to updating the market on the results of the final 3D pre-stack depth migration data thereafter. From there, we will re-double our efforts on the farmout process. We are fortunate to be bringing Chuditch forward at a time when, after two years of COVID induced inactivity, we believe the farmout market is accelerating, supported by issues of energy security, structural imbalances in LNG and historically high prices for gas.
On P2478, energy security concerns have also played a part in an evolving UK landscape, following the reversal by the UK Government to now support further oil & gas exploration and production including an intention to hold future licensing rounds. Our initial work on P2478 should be complete by the end of 2022, leaving us time to make a drill or drop decision by July 2023."
If you bother to read this it clearly says that the seismic interpretation for Chuditch is going to commence in June and when that is complete and the results announced then they will re-double their efforts on the farm out process. SO NOTHING GOING AT THE MOMENT.
The other project is on a much slower timescale - "Our initial work on P2478 should be complete by the end of 2022, leaving us time to make a drill or drop decision by July 2023."
There's nothing going on here at the moment and no reason for a share price spike.
