RE: I hope Joe has an ace up his sleeve17 Sep 2018 14:25
Rozario - I do have experience with commercial court hearings (albeit in the UK, the indian system is based on ours).
I'd suggest you do some reading on this stock. Align have stated that this should reach at least 1.9 on a successful 100% outcome for Oilex.
Also, there isn't that much of a negative as they have already acknowledged they owe the money and do not wish to invest further. Therefore we have to ask, is Oilex seeking both the repayment of the outstanding amount AND the 100% of the license and/or combinations of both.
The joint venture ends next year therefore GSPC have little incentive to hand over any money just to service a few months of drilling (which they have seen as a waste of money in the past). I would suggest that, bar some political meddling, Oilex have a strong hand in this.
It's highly unlikely to go against them as the worst that can happen is that the final judgement gets delayed pending further considerations. This may force a few hoping for a fast buck to sell out short term but the SP will likely hold in this region. Align have stated that the current 45% holding is worth 1.6p, should the drilling recommence.
Note Oilex have submitted a proposal to GSPC, and it was GSPC that asked for the adjournment. Therefore, pending total refusal of the proposal, the 19th could see an acceptance of the submission.
Obviously I can only base my assumptions on the reports that are out there, But Joe did seem confident and wasn't playing down the impasse with GSPC. He was very much talking about the future, which I feel was very promising.
