I was under the impression that tomco was hoping to get funding than a share raise if at all possible, although they wouldn’t rule it out if they could not get funding (plan B). I have been re-reading the relevant RNS’s a few times just to gauge and see if i have missed something between the lines. Seems all is good and moving (slower) in the right direction, patience required
From tomcos rns dated 31st may, john potter mentioned that due to new permit regulations, in my understanding i think there is a month delay than anticipated so it got put back to july instead of june, so i googled “utah mining permit legislation update 2022” it came up with a lot of reading of which im still researching, but i’m sure there are some clues as to “how long things take in the permiting mining world in utah” and we know from the rns that june/july will be when things pick up somewhat towards production drilling.

I share your sentiments, this is very positive indeed as nothing that suggests it wont be going forward. And of course watching valkor progress is Reassuring with some dealings relating to QFI. The oil quality is better than expected in that tshii area aswell. Expecting pqe offer payment in july if all goes well.

Since there 72,000,000 lane miles of roads in the country that vary between dirt paths and interstates, the average width is hard to nail down. A county client of mine has an average width of 9.5' per lane - but most state highways are 11' to 12' per lane - so we’ll use 10.5' as an average width. The average county road is only 4–6? thick while state roads and interstates are around 12? plus or minus - so we’ll use an average thickness of 9?. That gives us 70,000,000 miles x 5280 ft per mile x 10.5' wide x 0.75' thick x 1 cubic yd per 27 cubic ft = 107,800,000,000 cubic yards of concrete and asphalt. Asphalt weighs about 2 tons per cubic yard - so the weight of that is 215.6 billion tons. At $75 per ton that’s $16.17 trillion in infrastructure (if it were all new).

Tomco deal with vivakor : https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vivakor-secures-long-term-oil-133000062.html
Asphalt for may is $692 p/t Tomco with Vivakor will be producing 50 tonnes from end of first quarter ramping it up too 1000 tonnes E.O.Y with Valkor helping out to perform certain operating and engineering services to increase the production capabilities of the Vivakor plant to enable it to produce upwards of 1,000 barrels per day or 1,000 tons of asphalt cement per week once three more RPCs are financed and built.
Not forgetting the other elements to tar sand revenue.. $30,000 rent p/m from three sources. Lots to look forward too in june hopefully an RNS between now and then to make it official.

Also:
Also known as a farm-in agreement. A type of contract through which an investor (a farmee) may acquire an interest in an upstream project from an existing project participant (a farmor). It is typically used in the exploration or development stage of a project.
@dreamer67
From what i have read :
What does farm down mean?
The farm-down model, otherwise known as asset rotation or build-sell-operate, involves utilities selling stakes in green power assets to institutional investors seeking long-term, stable yield. In the case of renewable energy, revenues for such projects have, until now, been underpinned by guaranteed subsidies.

Email Reply from CEO John Potter yesterday15 Jul '20
John Potter CEO also said he wanted an open dialogue with shareholders and was happy to take a call to discuss any concerns shareholders have after my very challenging email. I’ve never met the guy but most CEO’s wouldn’t have even replied to my challenging email. As said most importantly he wrote in his email
‘ the next couple of months are very exciting times for Tomco And despite the very unusual times we are in, the company has managed to get the joint venture with valkor over the line and set things up for a transformational Change for the company. Best regards John Potter
The above is word for word what he said.
Topped up at 0.63p ATB to serious investors
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I had a quick gooogle check and found that john potter is ceo on another company too… managed to find half of the email to dirctly contact j.potter is XXXX@tomcoenergy.uk.com the Beginning could be jpotter@ or j.potter@ if no luck maybe someone could pm manfromwales in here although i don’t think he posts much now by the looks of his history
TomCo is tied to using the PQE cort system mainly for the funding of the 5k plant ( this we will may or may not get due to other risk factors as mentioned by the bod) john and malcom both mentioned from the RNS that they are getting funding through different avenues and are optimistic this will pull off. If they dont get funding for the 5k cort pqe plant there are other avenues to take but of a lesser scale probably from the likes of vivakor etc…
I suggest at the next agm everyone that can attend do so and speak up about PR concerns and corporate governance that should involve shareholders in a more pro active way from management.. i’ve been trying to get through to tomco for ages to know avail, seems a definite wall around contacting management. :-(
@vauch ———— i agree with you here vauch putting your money where your mouth is so true and a marker for genuine skin in the game. Although not all bod have shares which is strange if you are good at what you do and the product is doing well and growing with your efforts why not reap the rewards somewhat with either buying shares or being given them via share options….like i posted earlier if everyone rang or emailed as a share holder asking why news is not forthcoming and via other companies indirectly mentioned like with QFI recently, 1 rns a month doesn’t cut the mustard since February ish… and what ever happened to the official third (march ) test drill and results…

From 1st april rns
Outlook and Summary
The Board appreciates the strong continuing support of our shareholders as we continue to progress our plans for Greenfield.
Greenfield is engaged in ongoing discussions regarding funding options to potentially achieve the ultimate acquisition of 100% of the TSHII Membership Interests, together with the proposed drilling of a number of production oil wells and further construction of the planned first 5,000 barrels of oil per day production plant, whilst progressing other preparatory work. Whilst there can be no certainty that Greenfield can secure the requisite funding or the further permitting required, I am optimistic, based on discussions with potential funders to date, that the required funding to implement our plans can ultimately be secured.
These are very exciting times for TomCo as we look to realise Greenfield's significant potential.

Going into the live RNS icon and following the dates back on the list shown. I have seen a pattern of RNS’s that have been released early in the month, dare i say we could expect one this week or early next week perhaps? Could be wishful thinking on my part i guess.
@et al.
Maybe we should focus on contacting john and malcom, they did say they welcome any shareholder enquiries and i feel we should unite and collect our thoughts and concerns highlighted in your posts into an email too the TOMCO bod. And put a bit of pressure on them to show more consideration too shareholders
Enquiries: TomCo Energy plc, Malcolm Groat (Chairman) / John Potter (CEO) +44 (0)20 3823 3635
Should we expect an RNS at the end of may/ Beginning of June?
@et al
I have actually phoned john potter and malcome groat leaving my number and email with a few questions (if they get back as promised they would for shareholders) then i will post their reply
Whats good for vivakor is good for TomCo…
Possible in a couple of years, its complicated what with DEC hedged levels 90% this year, 75%next year and 50% in 2024 from memory i could be out of kilt so correct me if its wrong.. don’t forget DEC gets taxed more on current prices than hedged prices, and bare in mind the losses from hedging i am not sure if it gets off set on the tax? Then there is the debt facility paying off so much a year and the restructured loan for M&A. I am no accountant and i am sure there are a few in here who could elaborate further on the matter… from what i have read from posters and those more in the knowledge is that DEC is a good steady eddie share and is paying a nice dividend from 40% of free cash flow each year, this will creep higher no doubt on good hedging and growing margins and higher gas prices. Anything above $3 is profit (depending on how much % is hedge and locked in) and then what is left at to tax on current prices. I would say that if we relied on current prices alone with out hedging the tax would be a huge weight on us and we are at the mercy of unstable economics where prices can and will change accordingly, not saying this is wrong as there are other gas companies who work with this model but i prefer a steady safer approach…just my thoughts
