The sp is now up far more than I expected. Something happening folks. We are 3 hrs past RNS and up More than at any time. This is NOT retail investors. Bigger players getting involved here, or the likes of INA.
All IMHO of course.

In auction and loads of trades @ 0.9p....Loads, yet ask is 0.8....... stil in auction though. Jump up in a min??

going through at 0.9p??

We must be getting a TR1 to tell us some major player is on board.

shares traded thus far.

and sell. The MM's are getting in a mess again bless them. I think they need to update from hand held calculators to something more modern.

WOW!

If permit issue gone then developing the field is back to being a real possibility.
Also jv or even bid back on the cards as strategic review Co's see the same.
All IMHO.

might be a tad distressed. Shame.

Presumably will go back to .08p where it came from.......
All IMHO.

LOL!!!!

Not many at Ascent. I guess less than 5. However Petrol will be affected too. They are the service supplier so maybe another 10? Note there are only 2m people in Slovenia.
Any job that is lost directly because of ARSO will be one too many I would have thought and would not go down well (excuse the pun!).
All IMHO.

earlier today.
ARSO and British Chamber of Commerce attended.
Presumably it was stressed to ARSO that Ascent need permits to exist and so Slovenian jobs really are at risk.
I was not there of course but outcome positive I hear.
That is all. Hopefully some sort of permit will land soon.
All IMHO.

Positive outcome does not mean they turned up with 3 permits I think.
Take it easy.

today with "ARSO". Positive outcome.

per MWH. It was 17 ish last Winter. Hot weather means A/C on and wind power useless as little wind. I presume gas fired power stations are pushing price up. Europe still in grip of heatwave...........

Makes Ascent gas field more valuable.

that Ascent have been hammering away for some FIVE YEARS to get that permit. There was a non Government Organisation (one man) that because of their crazy system managed to delay it for the first FOUR YEARS. The re-application was made last November, some eight months ago. Ascent compalin of being asked questions they have already answered etc. Every time they reply a new set of queries arrive. Why are these queries not sent in one hit? Frankly it smacks of deliberate delay and this is why Ascent are annoyed. It may be that the person that originally objected has found un-official support from people inside "ARSO" and they are doing everything they can to delay the permit. I's sure it's easy for "ARSO" to say they are following the process. It seems the way they go about it, asking questions, then more questions, then more questions is perfect for delaying permits for as long as they want. All they say is "we are following the procedure". IMHO the people dealing with the application need to have a grilling by their upper management to find out the truth.Of course it may be the upper management that are the problem.
One thing is for sure no oil/gas co is going to invest in Slovenia the way it is.
The next thing that will happen is Ascent will sack all non-essential personel in Slovenia. Give it a few weeks.
Maybe thet will cause "ARSO" to behave in a professional manner. Maybe the people who get sacked will be knocking on "ARSO's" door asking why they are trying to destroy the gas field project and why they have destroyed their jobs.
If "ARSO" have any professionalism they will act before the Slovenian jobs are axed. It's a total disgrace.
All IMHO.

with I think INA.
Anyone short will be in tears quite soon.
Mark my words.
A lot has been going on in Slovenia since the shocking RNS yesterday morning.
They see Slovenian jobs on the line............. finally. They did not believe.
All IMHO.

thing.
They waited until July 1st for any one of the three permits to arrive from "ARSO".
Until then everyone was on their normal wage etc. and outside Co's were being paid for work to do with the anticipated receipt of the permits. You have got to draw the line somewhere.
Now members of the board are on reduced wages, same as some other UK employees.
No doubt other Slovenian jobs will have to go soon if no permits arrive.... I hope "ARSO" realise this.
This is all completeley logical considering the situation the missing permits have created.
Simply the Company cannot go forward at all without the permits. Indeed it will start to go backwards in time.
All this could change drastically on receipt of the permits of course.
From the RNS:-
"the Board is pleased with the progress of the strategic review to date and discussions are ongoing with a number of different parties."
Clearly there is a lot of interest in a jv or even bid for Ascent or the above quote would not be true.
It's pretty obvious to me that without permits there will be no deals as of course nothing can happen without them.
Let's hope the people at "ARSO" are aware that their fellow Slovenians jobs are now in danger directly because they have not processed the permit applications.......................
All IMHO.
