Took a few on the fall too. Had a few yesterday after their update. Hoping its a forced seller wrecking the party too.
ie..
"As stated above, Pantheon intends to drill the Alkaid #2H horizontal development well adjacent to the Dalton Highway and Trans Alaska Pipeline System in mid-2022. If successful, the Alkaid #2H well will become the first oil producer for Pantheon on the Alaska North Slope, representing a significant milestone for the Company, generating valuable production cashflows."

200 barrels crude per day won't be valuable enough imo.
alkaid was a production well not just an appraisal well the narrative changed as the issues began.
"The next well in our programme is an Alkaid appraisal/production well this summer where we will get another look at the SMD zone and where we expect to penetrate several oil zones, drill a horizontal lateral wellbore and, if successful, put on a long term production test.

That sounds good but they said last night they were only set up to sell the crude not the NGLS or any other hydrocarbons which is just the 200B's/Day.
They stated it would be millions not tens of millions to build the above ground infrastructure to process all the hydrocarbons but what timescales are we talking about there as at the moment they can only earn what $16K/day max gross which doesn't seem very much for the cap.
"be polite" and be "human beings?"
Think you may have to pick one.
Yes that was a good post Sandy, bit rampish for my liking lol but would recommend it as a read through for newbies and not so newbies alike.
Shares recovered very strongly here after the Jan 4th Baita Plai Production Report. Hadn't realised at the time just what a difference that rns made.
Will watch more carefully in future.
Looks like Zim is trying to expand its diamond business and so will need to up its international cred (imho) no doubt the reason for wanting to tidy up this business with vast.
Hopefully zim will see the need to be seen to be honest in their dealings with them.

Wouldn't argue with that Sandy although would note from the diamond index chart Jan 2021 was quite a low for diamond prices worldwide so perhaps add some percentage more for that.
Need more info from the co. which I presume is coming down the line given the Jan timetable announced in the RNS.

Zim stuffed them really lets hope this is the time they get something back.
DD hammer didn't realise you were a newbie.
Zim diamond prices indications..
"For that indicator, we provide data for Zimbabwe from 2004 to 2021. The average value for Zimbabwe during that period was 74.91 USD per carat with a minimum of 21.42 USD per carat in 2009 and a maximum of 193.83 USD per carat in 2004. The latest value from 2021 is 90.29 USD per carat. For comparison, the world average in 2021 based on 57 countries is 190.78 USD per carat. See the global rankings for that indicator or use the country comparator to compare trends over time."

Zim have certainly been shown to be corrupt in the past.
This Newman individual though also had a torrid time with them and had 43K carots confiscated, one third of what Vast have to go for.
Hoping their diamonds are worth one third of his 43K carots in dollar terms still gives $100M USD so a very interesting play this month imho.
"Newman Chiadzwa has also had a sour relationship with the government
In 2010, he was sentenced to five years in jail and fined US$132 764 for illegally possessing 43, 028 carats of diamonds after a long legal battle with the state, according to court records. He was released after serving 16 months.
The following year, though, Newman successfully sued the government to recover diamonds worth US$300 million that the state had forfeited during his arrest."
Understood, noted your negativity but believe it will be interesting to see where this goes all the same.
Vast have always had a decent case re the concessions and its widely reported that they lost them due to political shenanigans favouring the Chinese and Russians over the Europeans.
Should imagine both sides will want a tidy finish to this, Vast so they can have their diamonds if not their concessions back, Zim so they no longer look so corrupt to the wider investment community.
Next RNS on it should be the teller imo. Is the case moving forward and are they going to be given the diamonds as a peace offering and pay off from the Zim gov?
I know I'm correct sandy I was asking why you changed the date?
Not quite sure why you put 21st of Dec Sandy the news article states the 19th Dec and the co' responded to it thusly..20 December 2021
Vast Resources plc
("Vast" or the "Company")
Response to articles published by the Press in Zimbabwe
Vast Resources plc, the AIM-listed mining company, notes the release of certain articles published by the Zimbabwean online press on 19 December 2021.
The Company wishes to state that it has at no stage been contacted or consulted by the author of the articles and did not make any comment in relation to these articles and does not agree with the conclusions.
Vast Resources PLC and its subsidiaries have been and remain in dialogue with the highest level of Government in Zimbabwe and the Company remains confident of a successful outcome.
The Company looks forward to providing further updates at the appropriate time.
We were told donkeys years ago this would take time and kept updated along the way.
Good to see their investment may actually pay off. That's a lot of diamonds.
Hugo Boss are going very green and making the circular economy a big part of their business which means aeniq is likely to be a large part of their plans going forward imo.
Aeniq Polo shirts out already..
https://www.productsofchange.com/news-article/hugo-boss-forms-charitable-foundation-to-be-bold-for-the-planet/
"In a major development in its materials use, Hugo Boss has this week replaced polyester in its Boss x Heiq Aeniq Seamless Polo Shirt with a cellulosic yarn made from certified wood pulp. This yarn – crafted by Heiq Aeoniq – boasts the same performance attributes as polyester but those synthetic fibres for a reduced impact on the planet"
Is that we don't need his advice. Suggest you concentrate on getting your own trades right scamp and we'll do the same.
He's certainly done all he can to destroy sentiment on this one. Must admit kept me away just because it seemed some were listening to him.
Must admit to some satisfaction with seeing his positive enet calls being so far off the money. Sorry for others in the stock but all the same you know..
Getting interesting here again though imo, liking the positive noises and expected improvements going forward just a case of getting the timing right for a long trade imo though guess that trying to pick the exact bottom is a mugs game.
They all are when you're waiting on drilling success scamp. These have stabilized on production but need some luck with the drill and to be honest with today's marketcap they don't need a lot of luck to justify a rise.
Would rather be here hoping for a positive result on the horizontal than on one of the bigger plays in the sector such as panr. Nothing against them, wish them well on the drill but this minnow is priced to fail already so where's the big downside?
