It is nice to read some very valid points, I understand how long some share holders have been waiting and for me it has been many years. With exploration small cap companies dilution in share prices will continually happen, lots of searching, lots of spending money and hoping to find the next wild cat drill which could give a few million to a billion barrels of oil find and to also bring in a major player who will pay for most of it. Now we have all been there, look at TRP a decade ago in Namibia, TRP and GBP in Uganda, Falklands, Chariot oil Namibia, BPC, etc who is producing lots of oil ?
Now we have Mosmans, I don’t actually think they have done bad, there shares are under 900 million at present, they have not been sitting on the fence, they have attempted to buy other assets to produce but the price of oil was to low, they have not consolidated there shares, as some have diluted and then consolidated which does not help the long term holders.
Our assets we have with our JV partners are producing small amounts of oil, it has been a challenge but we are producing and increase slowely. We started with 7bopd and I would now estimate 110 bopd.
If we were not producing at all and still an exploration company our dilution would be a lot more. I think it is great Mosman’s has chosen the path of finding partners out there in the USA, these do not come on a plate, they could have quite easily have gone with someone else.
The key thing here is we are now producing oil, one with our own assets 100% owned and two through joint ventures.
We are where we are and soon the next production update will be released, as long as we have increased our production for 6 month and also if the company can confirm the current rate of oil per day we are producing which could be more than the 6 mouth average.
When Stanley 4 starts and if all going well would we could be producing within 2 months of the drill, look how long it has taken for some of the UK small caps to get the ok just for production 3 – 4 years not including planning permission.
I would rather wait for Stanley 4 well to see how it is doing, if successful the funds will help to focus on Falcon 1 well where we do have 60%.
Now coming to EP145 this is a super-giant structure, we have the permit the data room has been open and the due diligences is ongoing and I do not expect anything to soon as there are a number parties. The data from Central and Santos looks promising.
What I would like to see from Mosman’s are parties who are interested to be informed to the market or to clearly state how many have come back and shown interest.
I would like the Broker SP Angle doing a write up on Mosmans with all the latest data and getting the information out there and Mosmans also getting out there with more PR.
We have done well and have shown progress and we are in a much better position then a lot of other small caps on Aim, we are producing more and have less shares in issued.
