130407.... no BS i also genuinely believe we shall see 7-8p this week..

as of now we are 2nd on the leader board and climbing, this will attract more investors who have as yet never come across EPE..

A bit of savvy and they will see a valuation now on nothing more than the NA Value means 8p is not overpriced..Not a ramp a fact.

This is what makes these worth imho at least 7p..Net assets at market value #4.5m equal to 7.8p per share
* Continued profit growth at Chinese investee companies.

Add to that Benson Day working for nothing till the stock reaches 5p and you have a winner. This is due an upturn.

The chart looks excellent and we are breakingout from the downtrend.

Should fly when investors wake up to what is going on here.

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 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

2005 2010
Kt % AAGR(%) Kt %

Stainless steel 50 28 6.0 67 30
Full alloy steel 27 15 3.5 32 14

Pigments/corrosion inhibitors 4 2 3.5 4 2
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.

What exactly have EPE got ?

Stakes in 2 Chinese PLUS listed companies which are highly illiquid. If they sold £1000 shares in either the price would probably go down.
A small business in UK which appears to be loss making.

A website that`s down.

China Education and Dalian may well be better being listed on a Chinese or HK market instead. which wouldn`t help us small investors in the UK.

The directors are not guilty of insider trading.

They can see that this share is going to do well and are prepared to put their money where their mouthes are.

I couldn't think of a better vote of confidence than for the management to invest in something they know will perform.

Maybe you ought to take note that companies where the directors are buying tend to have a rosy future in the months ahead. I get a director dealing report every day and it is fascinating how many of these companies generate decent return in the months afterwards. Maybe you ought to get the reports too?

Dalian to float on Ofex with value of £20m.

EPE got 8% for 0.7m which values DBI at £12.5m. That means the stake will go up in value by 60%.

LACPEF have invested £2m for a 19% stake which values DBI at £10.5m.

I don`t think there will be much left for Ofex investors at a value of £20m.
I can`t see it going up by 50% in the first few months like CEG did.

They make less profit than CEG who are valued at £25m. CEG also have expansion plans in hand and a strategic alliance.

Having said that, I can see a good profit to be made if one takes a long term view. I will probably not buy on Ofex but will certainly watch it`s progress.
