On your first point which is not the first time you have tried to mislead the board members - there is no mention of expected notification regarding the contract.
'The drilling programme scheduled for Block XX remains on track. Contract negotiations with the preferred bidder to supply and operate a rig are in the final stages. Formal award of the contract is expected by the end of July. The selected rig is in country, is operating close to Block XX and is available from Q3 2018. Permitting for drilling is progressing and the first well, on the Gazelle prospect, is planned to spud in late Q3 or early Q4 2018.'
I would only expect notification if they were not able to keep to the stated plan.

I had a problem on Interactive Investor - not recognising MATD - but it has cleared now.

F.Y.I. Anyone interested - the 15:57:21 trade at 8.139p for 60258 shares was in fact a buy not a sell!

I had watched it but decided to watch it again as I was fed up of watching paint dry! It really is a great video and Mike is really inspiring. It actually feels rather surreal having just watched that again and then sitting here considering the sp action over the last week. Looking forward to some positive news from the drill before too long!

Neither did it say that they wouldn't make further announcements as drilling progresses.
It doesn't say ' The Company will only make a further announcement on completion of drilling operations.'
Your expressed assumption seems to try to create doubt about the company. I don't think this is the first time you have done this.

Yes, but there is every chance of an RNS with new details released before the meeting which could then form a part of the meeting. This would not be the first company to do that. All will be revealed in the fullness of time. GLA

I thought we were told that the spud would occur in the week beginning July 9th, not by July 9th? Have we got people trying to cause uncertainty again? I wonder why that might be!

And mine.

That's your point of view. Mine is that I have been able to buy another 55000 shares today for an average of about 10p. I look forward to the price going up as fast as it has come down once it turns but, of course, I could be wrong. Only time will tell but the potential of this project hasn't changed with the reduction in sp.

No, I accept that they were not for that amount but I still think that you are making a big assumption that there had to be such a premium.

I have been trying dummy buys and sells all through the afternoon and was offered a sell for 9.835 and a buy of 9.895 just before the close of trading.

I agree with you MrP. It looks to me that someone is trying to spook investors! I monitored the buy and sell price all afternoon and was offered a price of 9.895 to buy at the end of the trading day so a buy price of 9.9 is what I would have expected for one of the 1000000 trades. How does the trading action show that to be a sell, SM123?

Sorry, I just noticed other comments on a similar thread from earlier.

Are we expecting an RNS of Final Results this coming week? They came on Wednesday,15 June 2016 and Wednesday, 21 Jun 2017. So how about Wednesday, 20 June 2018?

I just checked after your post Jrlomax and was quoted 19.98 for a buy so yes there is something strange going on!

Sorry, I made an incorrect calculation (my total didn't come to the correct figure!). Having recalculated I believe that the correct values for 9:43 were Buys: 127,671; Sells: 94,886 Yes - I'm retired and have nothing better to do than add up figures!!

By my reckoning, up to 9:43 there were 117671 buys and 94848 sells. Just thought people should know that the picture is not all red as shown on the BB.

I can also confirm that trades for 13336 [20.1], 12295 [20.15],12338 [20.08] and 12294 [20.1516] were all buys but show as sells.

Anyone know what's happening?

Looks like most of the transactions have been buys this morning but are showing as sells on LSE.
