Yes Beadle, this is why I think GSPC are dragging it out because Oilex want a quick resolution too.
On the other hand, Oilex are not completely desperate for much money. Directors seem happy to take their fees in shares and they can tap the markets easily for a few hundred grand. There will be a lot of willing participants to get involved at this price.
RIM, a c.10% shareholder added £50k in the last placing (at 0.36p). I'm sure they will be willing to do a similar amount again if not more.
To get Oilex through Arbitration, I very much doubt they will need much more than another £500k so there is a small risk of tiny dilution at this price, but with a market cap of £6m, it won't be the end of the world.
On the other hand, if they do get a deal done with GSPC, the share price will go ballistic. So for a risk reward trade/investment, I would say there may be 10-20% downside vs 100-200% upside very quckly.
For that reason, i'll be transferring Oilex shares into an ISA next week and potentially buying more during April.
