I'm a big fan of PRD (it's my second biggest holding), but I think we are a way off £5 a share territory at the moment. I'd love to believe that number, but unless the company announces a deal worth $3.5-4bn, the market will not believe it. Equally, until the test results are known, resources proven up, a new CPR done, I don't think a purchaser would contemplate that kind of money. Saying that, a ratchet deal might be a goer, with valuations climbing as resources are proved up might happen. Say $20m for costs incurred for exclusivity, $30m for a 10% share of the subsidiary company, then further amounts based on resources booked, with an option to purchase the whole Moroccan subsidiary after the next Jurassic drill? Then you might get your large number.
