archie probably can't believe his luck sitting on a stock worth 40x it's current SP, is the BOD up to it?

Amtech anyone who "predicted" 14p + a year ago and now like a broken record repeats the same old diatribe, has a serious problem as Olderandwiser and many others keep saying.
Any delay in Drilling has been put to rest ( read Exploration's accurate assessment of Shell's production network).
Company statements late last Autumn consistently stated "fully funded until end of 2021"
Cluff Energy(Africa) was known by some of us early last Summer yet the Prophet of Doom has only recently discovered much like other statements posted last June.
Disappears for 3 months +, possibly retired to his thoughts ( weak that they are). Is 3 months the minimum term of forced servitude?

Could the poster be Rivo in different clothes????

Trent it is reasonable to conclude RF will say nothing until the Legals happen, if they do, as any comment/statement could compromise the Company's position.

Trent first many thanks for your solid enquiries.

One or 2 issues come to mind as a result of your reports.

Curious this guy has deliberately become a new subscriber on LSE and immediately raises this issue. It does smell of some underlying agenda.

If the Regulator is involved they are unlikely to pass comment until such Investigations are concluded.

MARS may not have been fined as there is insufficient/inadequate evidence to institute such action, however a Private Action can be undertaken by aggrieved Parties. Seems to me Chris is gathering information or just endeavouring to create uncertainty amongst Stakeholders. Do you know his background? Is he a disgruntled Former Employee of Marstons?

Did he give any indication that Lawyers have been instructed?

It surprises me having been in the beverage industry how a Brewer any Brewer is not carrying out better filtration processes before decanting. It could all be down to better cask hygene before filling. As mentioned earlier bottled and canned products has no such issues.
There is no doubt the sediment issue does not effect Marstons alone, if it does well, need I say more.

Sense this issue is going to run and run.

Thanks again Trent

Jonny the article you read must be many months old, Woodford's Fund disposed of the CIR shares sometime ago, Richard Griffiths picked up a bargain and now sits on >28%

Possible the Company's ongoing and developing plans in China is having a negative effect on SP??

Mike these boards are full of knowalls who know little or nothing or just stating the obvious. Many knew last year a placing was coming yet the"Prophet" kept repeating like a broken record. Add to that the prediction the SP would be north of 14p without any factual evidence except a " gut feeling".
A couple of weeks ago we were being told " a placing is coming at 1p" and complete denial of statements from the BOD, "fully funded until end of 2021". The company may be awarded further Licences, which may or not require funds at a time in the future, but at the same time potential awards will add value to the SP.
Mike what you have chosen to believe has been obvious and now speculation designed to scare, which seems to be working where you are concerned. IF not speculation then "insider" knowledge which will have catastrophic outcome for the writer.
Very few planned operations be they contracted or otherwise, do not have slippage. Any perceived delay in drilling has been well explained by Exploration a few days ago. The "Scaremonger" does not like it and chooses to question and rubbish an expert opinion.
Exploration knows his stuff and we can all learn from his expertise.

The Doomsayer is not invested comes up with ideas to undermine confidence, and for what reason?

Trent I share your concerns.

The PAS representative made the statement regarding a "Class Action" being considered/started, now he could be on very sticky ground if that were not the case.
I suggest you choose your words very carefully on Monday....the guy could be on a "Fishing Expedition". Best to establish if instructions have been given to start a Legal Claim.

Barchid, Trent, just catching up with posts. The youtube link was deleted on Thursday when the original post was logged. I did believe it a possible scam to influence the SP. Now the video is viewable I have changed my mind.
You may recall we discussed this matter in early January and Ralph gave Barchid a statement the matter had been dealt with and now closed. This statement did reassure, however it now seems not entirely correct.
If a "Class Action" is to be started it is to hoped the Company have an Agreement with it's Landlords, both Tenant and Otherwise, that a cask of beer contains X amount of saleable product. If there are not words to indicate and support what is Saleable as a per centage or volume-wise, within a Contract or Agreement, the Supplier ( MARS) will face some difficulty.
That said it would be surprising if Trading Standards are not taking a serious interest as for one thing, and this is where consumer rights could be a little mirky, a product must be of Merchantable Quality.
It could reasonably be argued a Landlord is buying a Cask of Beer of which >5 pints is unsaleable.

It is also fair to say a Bottle or Can of Beer has NO such waste and a Landlord Buys, and Retails without suffering any loss

This matter raises some fundamental trading Rights which will exercise the Brains of Lawyers and ultimately have ramifications for the Whole Brewing Industry.

Scooby the dossier of "information" posted the last year or so can only lead to one conclusion. LSE will be failing in it's duty if they have not alerted the Regulatory Body.
Far too much evidence to be ignored.

When Can Directors Buy and Sell Shares?

Directors, like any other shareholders must comply with Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) 1.3.2 on inside information. This regulatory mandates that Persons Discharging Management Responsibility (PDMRs) i.e. the company statutory directors in this context cannot deal when they are in possession of price sensitive information, i.e. information that when released to the public is likely to have a material impact on the share price of the stock in question. A period of time when Directors are prohibited from dealing is referred to as a ‘closed period’.

On top of this ‘catch all’ the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), Section 19 goes a step further to explicitly state that PDMRs cannot deal in the period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of interim financial results or a year end results. This is referred to as the MAR closed period. Taking the AIM market for example, companies need to publish a half year financial report within 3 months of the half year period ending and the final results within 6 months of the end of the full year. It is worth noting that the full annual report does not need to be published on the same day, the closed period can end on publication of the final results statement, assuming no additional material information will be produced in the annual report which is not included in the Final Results statement

Directors cannot deal for 30 calendar days before the release of price sensitive information.

To be expected the Doomsayer comes with more fake/invented stories. Not sure where I have ramped up since 5 p. Absolute tosh. If stating facts, as shown below, is ramping, Lord help us. Scooby can speak for himself.

"Trapped Bulls" eh, what he has not realised he has entered a Bear-trap.

Exploration, often find remuneration committees act in a way that defies rational economics. Guess they will not bite the hand which feeds them?
The remuneration format possibly requires addressing at the AGM!
That said it is noted following the Fund raise last June, both Mssrs Nunn and Swindells were awarded options of 20million shares each exercisable as follows, providing the SP has achieved pre-determined targets.
The options to be exercised in equal 1/3 (6.666m each)at or after the anniversary of the award.i.e July 2020, July 2021 and July 2022. The options will lapse after 10 years.
The Options can be exercised given the following targets.
1st Option (1/3) requires the SP to be a minimum of 33% above the exercise price.
i.e SP 2.327p

2nd Option (1/3) SP to be at or 66% above the exercise price, i.e 2.905p

3rd and final Option(1/3) SP to be at 100% above the exercise price i.e 3.50p

The Exercise price is 1.75p and the target price must be continuous for at least 30 days before take-up.

As mentioned the remunarations do appear rather generous, possibly the scope of the option scheme could have better incentivised the Execs with a lower Salary?
Food for thought and possibly the AGM!!
Whatever may be said and taking full account of Exploration’s excellent submission, PI’s should take comfort from these facts!
AIMO

Scooby he works on the basis, "repeat something long enough and listeners will eventually believe".
A very well tried and in some cases successful, technique of mind control.

Quite agree Scooby. Little point debating with an unbalanced being who seems to live in a time warp.......like a Parrot repeating topics raised months ago which too any sane Investor who understands the balance of shareholder equity, is totally logical.
Just wonder why LSE permit this behaviour to continue as it does the Forum's image a great disservice.

Firwood makes a very valid point. Why come on to AIM and not the main market, in particular this stock? Stick a pin in a pink page (FT). Have a look at Investopedia and form your own opinion. Better still have you tried a Casino?

Trent on that basis the Company is well prepared post-Brexit......Hooray

By the way what size cask are you using?

As always Exploration, I for one much appreciate your technical knowledge and very informative posts. Balanced to say the least and trust will assure any nervous investors and silence the doomsayers, who can learn a lot from subscribers like yourself.

Mike hindsight is a wonderful thing.....if we knew yesterday what we know today we would all be MIllionaires. Many of us have been in the position you are in and speaking personally have either stuck with it or sold at a loss and moved to better opportunities. I long since realised wallowing in "what might have been", only creates negative thoughts which if not careful will destroy oneself.
