Marakand Minerals Share Discussion Threads

By contacting the company after the RNS on the first conversion, it was possible to join the second. However, private investors were never approached by Oxus directly with this offer (as far as I know, at least not me). Also the RNS never said ´do you want the same conversion, contact Oxus´.

You could say that everybody had the chance to convert. However, in practice it was only management, institutonal investors and a few active PI´s.

P.S. If I remember correctly the ´downside protection´ is for a one year period.

Steve

I'm not aware that shareholders were ever approached with an offer by the Company. Can you tell me when they did so?

[steve517757] 06/12/2006 12:58

nobull,

All holders had the chance to convert - those that held, held on due to expectation of good news on Khandaza and hoping they would get a better deal - unfortunately the news was bad and now the 3 for 1 offer that was available seems good but no longer available.

Does anyone have details of when the top-up agreement expires for those who exchanged their MKD for OXS on a 3 for 1 basis? They retain full? upside while enjoying some downside protection through holding OXS, downside protection which MKD holders lack. Doesn't sound like a fair way to treat us? Should I raise this at the AGM? Thanks in advance for any info.

OXUS' GLOBAL DIVERSIFICATION
Turkey
Through its subsidiary Marakand Minerals, the group has entered into option agreements on
two copper / gold projects situated in southern Turkey. Initial work at the Hatay project shows
that mineralisation extends over at least 1,600m along strike. Grab samples collected by
Marakand confirm significant levels of gold and copper. Analyses of samples from the eastern
end of the area indicate the presence of up to 9.48 g/t gold and 3.09 % copper, whilst samples
from the west of the area indicate up to 17.28 g/t gold but with less copper (0.15 %). A stream
sediment sampling programme, together with further rock sampling, is expected to increase
the overall strike extent of mineralization.
Marakand has established a technical office in Antakya and has commenced satellite image
interpretation of the area. A programme of geological mapping, sampling and surveying has
commenced, to be followed by surface drilling before the end of 2006.
On the 26 September 2006 the Company entered into a loan agreement which provides for
Marakand to borrow up to $500,000 of which $260,000 had been advanced by 30 June 2006,
and is renewable by mutual agreement.

250k buy. brave boy!

[eriktherock] 04/12/2006 13:13

Could be mm's playing on the hope factor of the remaining holders (outside Oxus) and small speculators on the reinstatement of the 3 for 1 arrangement. So MKD in theory would be worth 9p a share as OXS are 27p. Small, I know, but the near 50% increase in Market cap here has yet to benefit the Oxus share price Others here here will have a more considered view.

whats happening here, have we found something?

[nobull] 02/12/2006 22:30

On Thursday...

From www.marakand.co.uk (from the 2006 annual report on page 19)

"NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of Marakand Minerals Limited (the "Company") will be held at 105 Piccadilly, London, W1J 7NJ on 7 December 2006 at 10.30 a.m."

when is agm?

[nobull] 01/12/2006 16:16

Obviously a serious lapse of judgement. It is probably up just to give A.S. an easier time at the AGM. Perhaps it will resume its down trend after AGM? and hit zero in time for the creditors' meeting, some time around March or later?

[giant steps] 01/12/2006 15:11

You've marked it as a favourite !

[nobull] 01/12/2006 15:10

I might a get a sixth of my money back if I am lucky. Still got 32k. What does the ADVFN red heart signify against this thread?

[giant steps] 01/12/2006 15:01

If khandiza comes good then it will be a huge plus for OXS, safety first imo
(MKD very high risk)

[phillis] 01/12/2006 14:59

If you want leverage on the new relationship potential this is the place to be.
Nonetheless I think I will sit this out

[giant steps] 01/12/2006 14:33

I have no position in MKD but have today entered OXS
(the safest way to play MKD - yes, you did read that correctly phillis !)

MKD 5.75-6.5p, OXS 28-29.25p

[nobull] 01/12/2006 13:26

Volume jumped when OXS became cash flush again?

[0238jr] 01/12/2006 13:18

so what is the thinking that the zeromax people, or whatever they are called, will be able to sort out khandisa for mkd?

[jonno1] 01/12/2006 13:17

looking interesting

[eriktherock] 01/12/2006 09:15

Yes. Stuck on the fence for weeks.lol.

[jonno1] 01/12/2006 09:08

[jonno1] 30/11/2006 21:04

While reading message boards a while back I found a gem. A newsletter that is dedicated to profiling little known issues. The list is 100% double opt-in to ensure that the members are truly looking for a lead. It is certainly worth a few minutes of your time to take a look.
