This is good (and unusual) news!

The spread has opened out. This might mean a large sale (to balance the books?) about to go through?

As a guide the following information is: 'As of 24 April 2008, the company reported cash and financial assets of £18.4 million'. This suggests they have enough to be going on with and forms a basis for revaluation, taking into account the potential upside. Perhaps 6 p as a new base level will be reached soon!

Ceramic Fuel's announcement should prompt renewed interest from their partners. What is needed to be promoted by a manufacturer by the investor is a price/ lifespan framework for units of this type. If they can be sold at (say) under $1500 per 1 kw 'plant' , with a minimum 10 year shelf-life then there would be a plenty of buyers. CFCL has signed agreements with leading European utility customers and appliance partners in Europe and Japan to deploy micro-CHP units using CFCL's SOFC technology. These agreements are a significant achievement for the Company, validating the Company's model of working in ‘3 way' partnerships and allowing the Company to move from field trials into product development, deployment and sales. These agreements give the Company access to four large and advanced European markets for m-CHP units: Germany, France, the UK and Benelux. The Company's utility partners in these markets have a total of more than 20 million gas and electricity customers. Along with the agreement in Japan, CFCL is well positioned to commercialise the technology. Click on a country name to the left for more information.

Agreed. There is only one firm trading in these, so we lack the competition between firms with differing opinions on the value of the company.

It sounds like your brokers are a problem. Your bank should have a broking division. Good luck!

Not necessarily. I suggest you buy some - enough to hurt a bit, so you keep your eye on them. They are a good bet for gains or takeover. The application seems mainly focussed on remote, domestic users who would otherwise use a generator. There are tens of millions of properties worldwide that have their generators chugging away (annoyingly) whenever they want to watch the telly at night! Potential to produce larger units too. Not sure about the burning of a fossil fuel in an electric car to produce a 60% return, but the car-ies know better than me.

Alternative Investment Market: accounting of these companies isn't as rigorous as the main market (but it is still tight)!

My sympathies. It does relieve the boredom though. Try a country walk every afternoon otherwise the markets can get you too het up. Black labradors are great too!

3 p now on the buy.

Likewise me. I hope people don't jump too much in here. Who knows where the price will settle, and it is a long-term play now. Patience!

In auction at 12 p. Surely cannot hold this price?

Sale or ..... renegotiation of banking facilities!

If they do relist, which they should, then it is likely the shares will rise from this level as they were pegged back by the MM's to this level in anticipation of delisting (or going bust!).

because they have had some good appraisals recently - see website.

..... is happening. I just phoned to buy and the spread is bid 7/ offer 8.5.

I did not write the ****'s by the way. It must be LSE being politically correct. It was meant to read P A K I S T A N.

Thanks for the links Tony. The grades are not impressive enough to get over-excited, but I agree that the company's exploration profile, bearing in mind the country's recent history and advances in the last 30 years in the understanding of porphyry systems, has potential upside. Many of the larger copper deposits within the broader belt - stretching through Afghanistan and into ****stan, are in fact sediment-hosted rather than porphyry systems.
