F1 - from all of the information we have to hand from the company, what do you expect to hear in "days" and/or "weeks". How many "days" and how many "weeks"?

The next published event is the AGM - a statutory event and not usually the forum for 'new news' by any company. Indeed, 'new news' would require an RNS in any event.

For me, realistically, the next news would be clarification of the further testing strategy, content and timescale, with further news that the testing has started and with results some way after that. All of this will be weather dependant. To start unrealistically early will defeat the object of postponement in the first place, given that in the last presentation that decision was justified on the basis of costing $150,000/day. Much of that cost was the premium in carrying out the testing in winter conditions, as stated by Max Easley.

JamesSimon,

You abhor people whose facts undermine your fiction - is that what you mean?

What a weird comparison? Epstein???

Your mind clearly works in wondrous ways.

You didn't answer my question as to my motive.

JamesSimon,

With every utterance you simply prove my point.

Pray tell? What do you consider my motive to be?

I hope it has hit rock bottom - for God's sake it surely can't go any further down?

Do you generally make money by conning people or do you save your moral corruption for this forum?

11.21

Is that good news or bad news?

By not far away are you thinking days weeks or months?

What, in the company's published strategy and timelines, indicates when such news will be released?

10.56

James you are an atter clown seemingly with personality issues given your recent negative rants about the company and its BoD which have now mysteriously turned into childish rockets.

For a man who boasts wealth, massive shareholdings other investments, expensive cars, etc, I would have expected a grown up approach.

It's worth money in the ground only when it can be proved that it can be commercially extracted.

We hope to get to that point but we're not there yet and have a habit of plucking up the attempts to prove it.

Hope the dog gets a good home 🐶😜

A few percentage points up from a 5-year low SP and it's like a kindergarden.

A last hour of posts full of blatant lies does nothing for the credibility of the contributors, nor the site, nor the company.

We all want the price to improve but not based on conning the unwary with blatant untruths.

"if done correctly"

Your own caveat is the key!

I think we all hope for the success of the company, but we're having repeated issues in getting all of this stuff out of the ground.

Don't confuse negativity with realism based on past experience and a bit of common sense.

Unfortunately, it is all suitably vague and, ultimately, that is the concern.

- the 22/12/25 RNS states "re-start in the spring", and elsewhere, "after the winter".

- the 30/12/25 RNS just states that testing will recommence in 2026.

- the 15/01/26 RNS talks of, "updating shareholders in coming weeks".

Anyone good at nailing jelly to a wall???

Whenever the end of winter and the start of spring prove to be, and they will be variable and subject to actual conditions over the next few months, it will be safe to assume that it will take time to mobilise and to do the work (whatever that work is), allow time for the tests to complete and then analyse the results..............then....... we might get some results in an RNS - fingers crossed that it will say what we'd like it to say?

You may be correct in that the process may take place earlier, and I hope you are, and that my May/June is pessimistic. My overarching point is that we should not expect any mind-blowingly positive news anytime soon.

Tony,

Yes, there is some interesting and informed debate on Discord without some of the petty squabbling seen here. There appear to be some well-informed technicians too and none of the minute by minute price action commentary - pop over and have a look.

I'm not a technician but I think I have a basic grasp of the issues - one of my questions of the company and all of its experienced advisors and consultants is why the issues they've encountered weren't foreseeable, including the fact that they always planned to work through the winter, such that they needed to postpone and re-group, presumably with different methodologies, needing more money. They appear to need more and/or different information.

Their plans and methodologies don't appear to have been working sufficient to publish results (or at least ones which were acceptable) or they wouldn't have up and left to return in the spring - noting that their spring is likely to be May/June.

My overarching point is that they clearly need more data, obtained from new and/or extended means and that the processes will not start for several months. We will therefore, presumably, be floating around in the doldrums until then and it is misleading to assume that the SP will materially be affected positively without the additional information the company seeks.

It sems to me that we need to accept this and suck it up. One might imagine that interested parties, including potential acquirers, farm out partners and gas pipeline stakeholders will similarly be waiting with bated breath.

Just my take.

I said, "the market has become unnerved" (clearly, in my opinion, as it's my post and based on the fact that the SP has tanked).

I didn't pass comment on my own view, but, yes, I'm unnerved too. I do not believe there will be a basis to change that view until we have more information following the re-commencement of testing in the spring or there is another positive market facing announcement of some kind. What that might be, who know? It could be a deal with a larger operator, it could be unexpected news on the gas pipeline, though I suspect they're waiting for us to get our act in order and confirm our ability to supply.

There actually is one here if only you'd all pack it in with the unnecessary barbs, mostly at the end of your posts.

The fact is that the tests were put on hold for a reason - we're not told what the reason(s) is(are) and we have to wait until the spring with no promise of any substantive information until then. It is no surprise given past drilling and well issues that some might think "here we go again!". I'm a long term holder, having gone through all of this, and I too am pretty narked. Over on Discord there's a debate about lack of information and lack of answers to investors' legitimate questions. Like it or not the market has become unnerved, shorters have had a field day, why wouldn't they (I stress I'm not one) and naysayers have held sway.

Set against this backdrop a lot of people will have bailed out, at least in the short term, and the SP has consequently suffered. None of this should be a surprise after an analysis of the current circumstances.

I'm on record as having a dislike for the rocket emojis , Boom!, and "it'll be 10p tomorrow" merchants when all that those remarks might be seen to be doing is deceiving the unwary, whether deliberately or otherwise - I believe there's a mix of both.

For all of our sakes, could we tone it down as I fear that the spectacle is both tedious to read and even potentially damaging to the image of the business.

Ha ha! Not grumpy at all. Just consider what these Share Chat pages would look like if everyone of the hundreds of trades per day was published in the same way Futurehire did earlier. According to the numbers at the top of this page we could have had 550+ lots of similar detail - what a great read?!

I wish all investors well and I'm as optimistic as the next person - just like to read about the means (meaning the science, results, market sensitive issues, etc) rather than a boring narrative about every last burp and fart of the SP, which I consider to be the ends.

Each to their own.

firstly, who cares? all you've done is block half a page with nonsense.

secondly, you're way behind in the billy big ****** game - see jamessimon at 08.43.

.....bull**** comments day in day out.

rather than making these desperate incessant statements which clog the board and merely comment of sp movements we can all see, how about you just sit on your hands. it helps nobody and makes no positive contribution to the sp.

Why are you here?

Chriscom, thanks for the reminder . When I suggested a re-writing of history earlier, this was one of the key points.

Sensible that it should be considered, but not a point which has been relied upon previously.

Back to sleep.

best wishes.

Perhaps the well is done with them!

Good evening all. For those eager to continue to polish their rose tinted spectacles - good luck!

For those with their feet still back on Terra Firma - we might need more than a bit of luck.

Merry Christmas.

"Confidence hasn't changed. It's flowing."

Might I pick you up on one minor technical issue here - it's not flowing oil.
