been buying a few here, fallen from 190p highs last yr to 13p now. Two catalysts in the next few months. Expect speculators to start to take positions ahead of Q2 test data which if positive could see pretty explosive gains from these levels.
Think 20p pre test data on speculation is reasonable but also we have Oncology Clinical Development Collaboration due in March which can bring the heat along with potential divestment of Ureka
GL long termers hope you make some of your losses back!
Director Jon Fizpatrick is largest shareholder of 5% and sunk £1m of his own cash in to SOLO which is now sitting on 50% loss. Jon is the MD of Gneiss and its clear he is now bringing on his team to position SOLO to capitalize on its very strong position.
So we know we have a number of interested parties wanting to farm in to Ruvuma. Current thinking is that SOLO could leverage a similar deal to aminex whereby they get free carry which then unlocks their £6.5m-7m warchest to go shopping with.
Licence doesnt have to land in that time either, the farm-out would obv be conditional on the Licence but either way it unlocks the warchest.
This is where I think we may go if licence drags on as it brings the situation back in to SOLO control. There are many options here and with this team im very confident. They clearly suggest they are reviewing cashflow generative opportunities... afterall why bring on this Gneiss team if you arent planning a big chess move
Risk v reward here second to none for me. Great opportunity.
Gneiss Energy are acting as advisers to CLNR on their farm-out to Shell
They also advised RRE on their Dyas deal
They are now moving into SOLO. All the old guard here now gone, this is now a totally new beast with some of the best connected oil and gas professionals in the london markets.
Big warchest and big assets.
Direct *current* read across value as follows:
$20m for 25% Ruvuma (based on AEX Farmout 50% for $40m carry)
Solid update. All tallies with with Alastair and Jon F were saying in Nov where they wanted to cut the chords with and association with bucket shop and become a company that is geared towards higher end investors/iis. Guess Jon F who is the largest shareholder is getting his Gneiss energy team heavily involved now. DM booted and Gneiss energy management coming on. I see that as v positive remember Gneiss were responsible for RREs dyas deal which was v transformational for them
"The decision to appoint new executive leadership reflects the Company's ongoing move to rebalance its portfolio towards producing and cash flow generating assets"
Wonder what asset they are eyeing ??
Also good to get confirmation that they are having interest from a number of parties on farming in to Ruvuma - validates its huge value.
To me this company needed to take back control of its direction instead of just waiting for things out of their control (Ruvuma licence). Reassuringly they look to now be leveraging themselves a position where they have other exciting cashflow producing assets in the crosshairs and when the Ruvuma licence lands its lands and that will be great.
Have bags of cash so yesterdays Aminex placing to move things along faster can only be good here... we're largey waiting for them to pull their finger out.
Still my largest holding and best risk v reward play in the oil and gas arena for me this.
Although the placing was a ludicrous discount and management screwed up massively here, I see this level as a buy op given operationally they are growing at a huge rate.
Lots of sells atm are through frustration which tbh I can understand, they will subside in next week or so imo and people may regret selling here.
Was over 9p a month or so ago and a higher MCap placing aside. So if you use logic company is now in a better position yet cheaper.
One thing is clear management need to start looking out for their shareholders - lets see more PR
hopefully 2.5p breaks today, proven a bit of resistance recently but with Nickel now here at 13k im amazed this is still sub 3p.... got a good feeling a big move is coming
Total shambles, I turned down the 6p placing and said it take minimum of 8p (even thats a pis$ take). The way the company have been bullied (or paid off) by an II that wanted 6p to screw everyone else isnt cricket.
Company do no PR so nobody understands this deal. If I dont see action from them on this front ill be selling out as itll be 12-18months before market understands this
Almost criminal the price given its been all good news since IPO and they screw us existing IPO holders who have been holding very patiently with a 40% discounted placing. Greedy b*stards
Trading update is very strong so management clearly havent a clue how to conduct things to maximise shareholder value.
