Rarely post but always read.
Share holding of 357671 available.

Presently I would be prepared to cut my losses and accept 80p. My concern remains that there is an alternative agenda here to drive down share price and take the business private for peanuts!

[nocents] 19/3/2024 14:24

Do not forget the other very large shareholders, some of whom hold large stakes at well over £1. It cannot be taken out if they resist.

[lexus880] 19/3/2024 14:05

I am sad to say I think the writing has been on the wall for some time. This will be taken out for peanuts at the small shareholder's expense.

Having sold most of my Dec 18th purchases (32p av) at 47p average I thought I was on a bit of a roll.....next stop 60p and the sale of my low 50p buys ...."not so fast there Warren !!!"

However when the EV drops under $10m it is perhaps time to think again.

This enterprise value means that a "steady !!??" production of c. 2700 bpd , Galeota and all the other assets are being valued at UNDER $10m ......hmmm.

Bought some back earlier this morning.

Like most here I have no great faith in current management but cash is rising and there is no drilling so things MUST(?) improve .

(I still see 100k as my core holding as there is real upside potential if things are done the way they should be done.)

Your holding does not prevent you from leading action(?). Your unwillingness to do so is a personal decision of your own making. If you wanted, you would. You don’t want to. Have you emailed or written to Vigo or the board? Or done nothing. You can rally the troops with loud shouts, but if you are not willing to pick up a sword or lead a charge yourself ,and leave it to others, it is a vacuous gesture.
I have again written. At least I am proactive. Yes it is not good enough, and shareholders are being deeply neglected.
Hence action of some kind. If not, communication.
Meanwhile, the oil price does mean a good profit-making revenue every day which does help. Those holding should not forget this. The numbers coming in ( zero SPT) should be prosperous.
A great time to market Galeota. And we were led to believe that 15% of cash generation will/should be returned to us.
Now what about this pump??

They could and should have come totally clean about Jacobin at the end of last year. We knew the pump would be a waste of time and money, they knew the pump would be a waste of time and money and the market knew the pump would be a waste of time and money. Numpties. The current share price is the market anticipating being told what it already knows. We could instead have been talking about the potential silver lining that is the Jacobin shallows and the share price might have recovered to 50p+. Absolute numpties. Nice to see lexus880 joining the fray - more than half way there. I wish more folk could see that the BoD are the problem here and understand just how enthusiastically the market would welcome fresh faces and a new strategy. No point repeating myself here though. I have more than enough goldbug stuff to be getting on with, so I will see you at the next update.

[lexus880] 19/3/2024 10:09

I know we are in the pits, but the FTSE100 hit 7700 in 2019, and it's around the same today.
The DOW was 28000, today 38790? we got a lot of catch-up.

vh - OK, will add to the list

In the meantime I see Brent North of $86. TRIN coining it, but still we languish. Incomprehensible!

[value hound] 19/3/2024 08:30

Only just spotted the 'collective action' possibility - happy to add my rel' measly 40k shares to the total.

[arlington chetwynd talbott] 18/3/2024 20:14

As nocents has pointed out, their silence evidences their arrogance. Their silence is a real shame when WTI is currently looking perkier than it has for months and they should be throwing the market a bone.

[arlington chetwynd talbott] 18/3/2024 09:39

Why would I be, with just 0.068% of the company? But I have certainly lost respect for the more significant holders who are letting this BoD get away with it. I usually say "inept" BoD, but it has become increasingly clear that they are both inept and arrogant.

[nocents] 18/3/2024 08:24

You can say it, but you can’t do it.(And are not willing to organixe it)
Neither can we.

[arlington chetwynd talbott] 17/3/2024 22:58

The best course of action is sacking the BoD. End of. Anyone who doesn’t want to rock the boat right now is, frankly, part of the problem here.

[milanista11] 17/3/2024 19:54

It is not the money running out but the oil reserves slowly evaporating. The cost of overhead for this microcompany, the sustaining costs of the oversized asset base (the share of unproductive assets) are eating into the income of the declining producing wells. IMHO we were too optimistic re the onshore potential, as the company had and has already well established reserves which are the backbone of the company. This is a tangible result and I was looking forward they could repeat it along the new drilling campaign. At least they prepared it for two years and more.
Hopefully Petrofac will validate the existing land package and show ways how to operate a consistent exploration effort.

[aqc888] 17/3/2024 17:59

Petrofac results will arrive soon. At which point the best course of action will be clearer.
It will be at that point real pressure can be exerted on the board to take the course most beneficial for shareholders. Till that point we’re stabbing in the dark.

[aqc888] 17/3/2024 17:39

Current market cap is currently £14.94m.
Touchstone is currently £119.4m

Money is running out at Trinity?? Hmmm… bizarre

It would be nice to have some intelligent debate and the point of a merger with Touchstone is fair. But when significant inaccuracies are thrown in at the get go, it’s really not worth starting to discuss…

[nocents] 17/3/2024 14:44

It doesn’t look like it is happening though!
I messaged lse.
I fear radio silence until April results and indeed thereafter. It seems their modus operandi. They need to liquidate Galeota assets. A farm-in? I don’t see it. You need a competent BOD for that. Sale? I don’t see that as present salaries are too nice. Only so much that can be done this end though. 36p and falling. How much does the management care( they may) and how much are the larger shareholders willing to take?

[arlington chetwynd talbott] 17/3/2024 13:06

nocents - something needs to be done long before the AGM in June.

[milanista11] 17/3/2024 12:28

The problem is,the market capitalization of around 11 million GBP is unsufficient to sustain the relative large property asset base. If Touchstone had a better exploration strategy why not a merger? At least Touchstone has a market value of around 200 million CAD. So they can raise substantial capital and than leverage with loans.

[milanista11] 17/3/2024 12:14

On June 2023 the Board appointed Petrofac as adviser to evaluate a strategy to develop the assets. Until now no news but time and money are running out.
