Chairman's Statement

During the first half of 2003 the Group operated under a severe cash constraint
and faced an uncertain future. Following the Issue for Cash and the Rights Issue
approved by the shareholders at the EGM held on 15 August 2003 and the
appointment of an all-new Board of Directors and Executive Management, the Group
has made several positive steps towards its recovery.

With sufficient funds the Group was able to commit to drill the obligation well
under the Campo Rico Association Contract. In January 2004 the Group commenced
drilling Campo Rico #1, the first new well to be drilled by Emerald for several
years. Campo Rico #1 has now reached its final depth of 11,795 ft and has been
completed for oil production. The well flowed oil of 17 degree API gravity at a
rate of 250 barrels per day during preliminary testing and the Group estimates
that a rate of over 750 barrels per day will be achieved when a downhole pump is
installed. The well will be put on production shortly, using temporary
production facilities, to evaluate the field's long term potential.

Thx dick dasterdly, good to see someone DYOR! i have been a long term follower of this name and do see some potential but i wouldn't be surprised to see another cash call now the price has spiked.

beware volume drying up and the spread expanding...seen it all before.

Get real!

It's worth over 100m!

and your point is??? plenty of large illiquid large caps and if the management had some sense they would consolidate the shares bt a factor of 10 and then see how the stock performs.

it may be worth 100m but in monetary terms the turnover is dreadfull - even with the volume spike over the last few weeks.

Don't say the c word. Nothing has ever been so destructive to shareholder value.

EEN have been in Columbia for as long as I can remember and had to lose a man down a well to achieve a profit. The high insurance now will make that a no-no.

I sold half my holding this morning at 2.62 and if they go anywhere near 3p the rest will go.

But, seriously 100m and no sign of profit is asking for touble -Isn't it?
