The optimism is waining on this one.
Sale today at 2.75p.

Volume on LDC today was 600 shares.
How are EPE going to get rid of LDC shares when they get them ???

Does the NAV in the header take into account that

We have received an offer from AiM listed London Asia Capital plc and its
associates ('LDC') to acquire up to £1.5 million worth of CEG shares and our
entire holding of DBI shares. The valuation of our holdings for the purpose of
the transaction is based on the average closing mid market price of the previous
five trading days as quoted by PLUS at the time of the transaction, less 30%.

and EPE is receiving shares in LDC, which are falling in value.

I'd prefer to see a revised NAV once the sales (including E2000) are done and the LDC shares are unloaded. Meanwhile, a substantial discount to the headline NAV seems richly deserved.

Molybdenum middle men could be the making of EPE soon to be renamed, just need to check what too again. It will help the share price immensely once the name reflects their new venture. I think as we watch whats going on here deals are being struck.

Benson Day is a whizz in this field great find.

Upcoming China Export Quotas Could Send Molybdenum to Record Price
Posted on Jun 28th, 2007 with stocks: AUAYF.PK, RTP, TCMRF.PK

James Finch submits: Our sources in Asia confirmed an industry trade report pre-announcing China would slash export quotas on molybdenum products by approximately 50 percent. The quotas are expected to take effect next week.

Many had been bracing for a 30-percent reduction in molybdenum exports. Traders are probably reeling now.

Many stainless steel mills go through summer maintenance programs during this period.

After Labor Day, the molybdenum price could rush past the June 2005 record price. This could result in a frenzied market through at least mid spring 2008, as we anticipate traders to fight for depleting molybdenum inventories in the face of continued firm demand.

Next week's China announcement could provide the trigger for a spectacular run.

In a March 2007 interview with Thompson Creek (TCMRF.PK) executive chairman Ian McDonald, his biggest concern was China's capability of dumping a large quantity of molybdenum product into the market and driving the molybdenum price lower.

It now appears that concerns of Chinese dumping are unwarranted.

In previous interviews with Adanac Molybdenum Corp (AUAYF.PK) executive chairman Larry Reaugh, he pointed out that South American and U.S. molybdenum production is unlikely to rise, and more likely to stagnate or decline. Reaugh explained that copper producers have been mining their higher grade material to capitalize upon the firm molybdenum price. Rio Tinto's (RTP) Bingham Canyon in Utah has also suffered falling molybdenum production.

Molybdenum demand has remained strong despite higher pricing.

U.S. Geological Survey molybdenum expert Michael Magyar lamented in an interview we conducted with him in July 2006 that the industry had a long way to go before molybdenum inventories could be rebuilt.

For stainless steel manufacturers and other end users, a sustained molybdenum price spike could evolve into a nightmare before year end and into 2008. But for investors in molybdenum producers, near-term producers, and potentially for exploration companies, this could provide the sort of double-digit returns many investors found in uranium mining and exploration companies during late 2005 into early 2007.

This last bit i like.

The Company intends to take advantage of the commodities super-cycle, driven by
the strong growth demand identified by its research. The Company aims to use its
cash and listed paper to acquire molybdenum physical stocks, companies and
businesses initially focusing on China, where it has already identified
potential investments.


This tells me that already the strategy is being implemented, it is in my opinion good that they are not investing in companies mining or attempting to mine Molybdenum but are looking for for physical moly assetts I>E the moly itself or investing in comapanies that process or trade the resource.

Quite frankly i think that this looks to be an extremely good investment, if EPE get it right, they then are the first mover as a Molybdenum middle man.

In the future it might be a case of if your a moly user or want to trade moly then you approach EPE (or sorry forgot the new name).

SHORT TERM PRICE PREDICTION 7-9p.

This is from fridays RNS and makes interesting reading. If EPE and Benson Day can createt a suitable platform as they intend to for investors to benefit from any rise in Molybdenum then this should be a surefire winner. Read the information contained in this statement Re Moly, its uses and future price predictions and demand.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..BELOW FROM FRIDAYS STATEMENT............


The Company's initial focus will be investing in those companies involved in
molybdenum and also investing in, holding, selling and otherwise transacting in
physical molybdenum.



Currently there is no futures market for molybdenum. The Company will provide a
platform for investors to invest in the physical assets to realise potential
future gains against rising prices which we anticipate will result from
increasing demand for molybdenum.



Demand For Molybdenum



Molybdenum is used principally as an alloying agent in steels, cast irons and
high strength low alloy steel to enhance hardenability, strength, toughness and
resistance to wear and corrosion. It is usually added in combination with other
alloying metals such as chromium, columbium, manganese, nickel, tungsten and
niobium to enhance the properties of the alloy. Molybdenum is also used as a
catalyst in petroleum refining and plastics as specialty grease, and is one of
the primary alloying elements in high temperature mechanical components of jet
and turbine engines. In most cases, it is difficult to substitute other elements
for Molybdenum. It is used across a range of industries, including:

* aerospace

* the steel alloys construction sector

* oil and gas exploration

* drill stem tubing

* nuclear reactors

* pipelines

* refineries

* coal Liquefaction plants.


Global forecast of molybdenum consumption by application, 2005 and 2010

Other chemical 2 1 3.0 2 1
Total 181 100 4.2 223 100

AAGR - annual average growth rate



Whilst the demand for molybdenum is global, much of the increasing demand is
coming from the booming Asia markets. We predict a significant increase in
demand for molybdenum due to a combination of economic growth in China, the
limited number of current suppliers, producers and roasting capacity, as well as
increased demand for stainless steel, chemicals, catalysts and super-alloys
worldwide.



Current Molybdenum Supply



The primary producers of molybdenum are the United States, Chile, and China.
Canada, Peru and Russia are also significant producing countries. Mine
production of molybdenum increased from about 280 million pounds in 2002 to over
400 million pounds in 2005.



Molybdenum Pricing



Molybdenum is an unhedged metal with no forward markets. The price is primarily
determined by changes in supply and demand which are in turn affected by global
economic conditions. Molybdenum is sold largely on a spot basis by traders and
dealers worldwide. Some business is done on the basis of long term supply
contracts between producers and consumers. Since 2002 prices have peaked and
dropped several times, reaching a high of US$45 per pound in June 2005.
Molybdenum is currently trading around US$30 to US$35 per pound.



Investing Strategy



The Company will enable investors to gain exposure to molybdenum through a
managed diversified portfolio of global molybdenum assets which the Company will
invest into, selected through rigorous analysis and on-going monitoring by its
experienced team members. This will allow for risk diversification and provides
an alternative to a direct investment in a mining company which could be subject
to a number of operating risks, hazards, unexpected maintenance or technical
problems, periodic interruptions due to bad weather conditions and natural
disasters, industrial accidents and various other unexpected variations in
mineralisation, geological or mining conditions resulting in major delays and
increased costs.



The Company intends to take advantage of the commodities super-cycle, driven by
the strong growth demand identified by its research. The Company aims to use its
cash and listed paper to acquire molybdenum physical stocks, companies and
businesses initially focusing on China, where it has already identified
potential investments.



Benson Day

Benson Day therefore has to ensure that the share price is well above 5p in 12 mths. He could wait longer but in 12 mths i would expect he would want to be showing some profit/salary for his efforts.

The share price has to be worth a bare minimum of 5p and that is disregarding the information released yesterday that the companys net assett value is already 7.5p per share.

To me it appears a no brainer especially as the demand for Moly is rising along with its value/price.

Ecpecting a blue day on Monday.
Posted at 29/6/2007 15:01 by paravion
Maybe not a 10p share, but a decent RNS and certainly the share price does not reflect the information the company have just released.
Posted at 29/6/2007 14:58 by tyranosaurus
"Easily a 10p share"

LOL LOL

Why are they worth 10p ie £5.7m ??
They haven`t got assets worth that much, and they`ve got no business left.

I`ll be happy to see a 5p share price again.
I`ll be happy when all these trades, including mine, show up on advfn.

What does Benson know about education in China ?
Why is he joining this tinpot go-nowhere outfit ?
Why do London Asia keep investing while their share price sinks lower and lower.
Who was interested in EPE at 5p per share and why did they lose interest ?

What does the future hold ?
Are we going to see EPE restructure with a listing in Asia only ?
There will be a mass exodus of UK shareholders if this happens. The price could sink to 1p.
