Interesting two posts in the last couple of minutes.
So IIG are/have invested a few times since December.
Their clients must be right chuffed, not, so far.
The problem with funds/IIs is it's not their personal money in the first place.
Fail and they lose no sleep.

Toronto up a cent (3.5%)
At least they are more enthusiastic over there.
Trades seem to be picking up.Brent ditto @ $61.46.

I can't speak for Petroperu - haven't been here long enough - but did a daily watch on OBA and RODA in Ecuador when it mattered. Even with upgrading of the pump station the planned daily targets were never met. No explanations were ever given. In the first 6 months, at least, there was an excuse of trials and proving tests.

In Peru a different story prevails: last year community unrest destroyed throughput . . . and we know the pipeline is obsolete. Upgrades are urgent to avoid breakdowns. Continuing barge ops are key to getting product to market. And there is another shipment this month.

Surprised: You provide a good tonic for the rest of us.
I guess we'll discover more after 1st March.
The company needs to urgently update us on the detection proving tests and worldwide interest/enquiries if there are any. Otherwise management smugly sitting on their hands, counting their shekels, is not going to help us. Trying to be optimistic here.

OK. I'll be one probably applying for a few, having cooled down, but no more than 10k. Originally there had been no intention to monkey around yet the smooth talking gets me down as it has been going on for quite some time (. . . gritting his teeth).

A blue day! Good to see it.
Being underwater and a NM critic I keep a weather eye on any steps that might be taken by Pierre Lassonde.
Alan Martin's summary dismissal left a bad taste.
Nick Mather's return to the back bench is a spot of deja vu.

£13m. Caught out once again. What a bunch of charlies we are. The government handout wasn't enough. The company cash burn must be heavy and the grand premises in Sedgefield don't help matters. Time for KMK to operate from the garden shed. More smooth words expected from the CEO.

End of day exercise as it's more than a little annoying to see the slide down to 100p. This time I thought that the USGS features would be clearer and more current than google. They are but it still doesn't tell me enough about the west wall.

[Reduce map for global visual and move it east to Africa and Egypt. Enlarge and aim for Sukari. The features are much sharper. The elevation(s) are clearer but it is still not possible to say TSF1 has been the cause of the problem.]

For the standard go to -

Will just have to sit it out, I guess.

Grim to note the II disposals are again in full flow. And I had thought they were drying up. More patience needed. Equally inexplicable is the suppressed gold price. Out of my depth when it comes to finding explanations. Probably not alone on the subject.

It's relevant to point it out in view of their actions here. And we know MZ is considering stepping into Colombia.

Thanks MrB. Much appreciated.

A vote of confidence from someone during a quiet period.

As far as I can see SA has partly rubbished the AstraZenica vaccine and an authority here seems to be saying there are to be another 10 years for emerging variants.

As I now hold a fair number of these for the foreseeable some time will be allocated to the Spanish press. It often carries a slightly different emphasis to the RNSs we get here. Just need to locate the link for Peruvian monthly oil production. There must be one available, similar to Colombia. Haven't found it yet.

Looks as though the curved balls could be thrown for some time, possibly until ~200m shares are sorted.

@ 16:17 (but flagged at 17:30) there was a LRGS 200k trade @16.65p.
LRGS = large in scale deferral
Effectively the strange behaviour should have no bearing on market supply and demand as we understand it.
Nonetheless it's going to be awkward to ignore.
Despite it, all being well, the SP should continue in small upward movements.

Brent = $61.69
TSX (evens = 30c) with a buying spurt at midday. Interesting

Private deals again. More to come . . ..

Steady on TSX. Down 1.667%.
Not expecting fireworks for a spell but who knows.
Only the private deals are being watched for the present.
MZ could spring a surprise at any time.

Comfortable enough with Shanta but not with Centamin. Reduced CEY when it dropped back to 134p, Didn't get the right answers back on TSF 1. Have put a fair wedge into a couple of promising techies and an oilie. SHG remains intact.

@ 14:19 - Quite right to say it . . . but I still have a small stake here. Being taken for a ride by the likes of a Bird or a Lenigas or a Clarke is not my idea of fun. My belief in CCZ remains although it is watered down. And to repeat: we still have to discover why Cangai has been dropped like a hot potato.

@ 14:29. I remember Spurs having something on the go last year. But then there were/are various detection modules at work. I don't believe any of them are capable of instant results. However, it is important to track anything relevant rather than being caught for a charlie.

I note MMs have been trying to attract sellers for 2 hours possibly to fill a fixed price order. Fellas, get it out of the way so that we can move on.
