in my opinion, that bringing Shore Capital on board has changes the outlook here. From the day they were engaged, trading has surged compared to the usual lack lustre interest previously shown. Being a market maker too, they will have a far greater insight into the trades. They are a vast improvement to SPangel, brokers who seem to have done little for the company and achieved little. There is an element of confidence being restored and it seems the wider market are noticing the company and its potential. Quite simply, having over £9,000,000 in the bank, being debt free and confirming a maiden profit for the first half of 2022 is an attractive position to be in for investors to take a position. Wressle is recognised as a commercial discovery and is being upgraded for full time production, there is likely a lot more to come from here, additional production zones to be entered. Everything else is really, at this stage, a gamble. However, Biscathorpe is a side track operation, there's a substantial oil column waiting there and chances of success are good. West Newton, still the big unknown, could be a monumental cash cow for Union Jack, either in production or sale of the asset. With everything else, especially the likelihood of a divi and/or share buy back, I believe Shore Cap are selling the story to institutional investors and if/when they come on board, Union Jack will be viewed a lot differently. The tide has turned here, exciting times, exciting investment.
