Oil exploration investors are not looking for 13% per year27 Jan 2021 09:30
Why have we spent 1/3 of our cash on this? This is not what we signed up for and has muddied the waters of what was a clear oil exploration proposition. Green energy is in vogue, but the return on this investment is known and far from impressive and has significantly reduced our cash position. If I invest in an oil exploration company I'm expecting much more than a 13% return per year.
Prior to this news I thought there was a chance we might get another placing before drilling started next year, but now I feel certain we will and for a much larger amount. How easy will that be to pull off with the current lack of appetite for exploration drilling? As a long term investor here I do not welcome this turn of events and have reduced my holding.
