The gas in Italy is notionally worth about $15 million, but exploration has been suspended (banned?) by the government, so no expected 3x upside on the exploration licences. Hence why Coro Europe is up for disposal . No third party will be interested in buying without upside, so NUOG might be the exit at a bargain basement price with the C4 gang of four using the revenue to part fund a high impact exploration campaign elsewhere with raises in the market (which is the whole reason for the RTO) . This is pretty much what the new directors told LT at the EGM. I understand.
There has been speculation that the high impact exploration is in the Gulf of Mexico where new territory licences might be obtained without much competition .
£2 million dollars is remarkably close to the increased capital of of Coro Europe reported at Companies House yesterday, and might be the disposal price. The profit from the Italian gas is remarkably close to the tax losses in NUOG.
Without an RNS, It is speculation , but fits the track record of the four main players.
Is it a multi bagger? Who knows, but the market yesterday thought it was worth some serious investment.
Minty sold his pay off share wedge too early I expect.
