GOLD OIL, the London-based oil exploration company focused on the South American and Caribbean region, announces that in late December 2005, the Company received an Operator Certificate from PeruPetro that allows the Company to carry out seismic, drilling and development operations in Northwest Peru.
The Promotion Licence signed with PeruPetro on October 15, 2004 with PeruPetro for Block XI (now renamed Block XXI) onshore Sechura Basin has been converted to an Exploration and Production Licence. The Licence now goes to the Ministry of Energy and Mines for approval, which could be forthcoming anytime between February and May of this year 2006.
The terms of the E&P Licence commit the Company to either shoot 120 km of 2D seismic or drill a well in the first period of five over a seven year term. The remaining four periods require the Company to either drill a well or drop the acreage. The Licence is for a term of 30 years for oil and 40 years for gas, with a minimum royalty of 5% on wellhead production for the first 5000bopd (30 MMscfd for gas) rising to 20% if and when production reaches 100,000 bopd (600 MMscfd for gas).

Times Article:
Gold Oil is valued in the market at about �15m. That is so small that almost any good news must have a big impact on the share price.
What are the chances of that happening? Run by a former Burmah Oil director, Mike Burchell, Gold Oil will drill the first in a series of wells in the Sechura Basin in April. There will be surprise if it does not find gas, as another company, Olympic, has done just that in a similar formation nearby.
The secondary target, later in the year, will be oil, I gather. A couple of months ago, Petro Tech made a big oil find offshore in the Sechura Basin. The theory is the oil may have migrated up into Gold Oil�s block. Don�t ask me to explain the geology because I don�t speak Palaeozoic. But a decent oil find here would be a company-maker.
Gold Oil has enough cash to fund this year�s drilling programme. And it already has a deal in place to sell its gas to Mann Ferrostaal, a German company that is building an ammonia plant nearby. Getting all that for �15m seemed a bargain to me. But Gold Oil still has to find its gas.

i wonder if the contracts for Blocks Z34 and XVI were signed friday?.

BID 16p........OFFER 16.75.......Down 7% today so far.
IMO the sp ran out of steam due to the lack of any news.
Assuming the next rns is going to be good news, this week could be a good buying opportunity???
Has anyone got any accurate information on when the next rns is due?

my trailing stop loss has just been hit at 15.6 ...... glad i had the strength of mind not to cancel it earlier ...... too easy to see all one's profit drift away

Nice to see you are making money.
Are you going to buy back in?

added on fall. 15.62p.

I have done what I do best-----------Nothing, keep the faith peeps.
2517

yes ..... but within next day or two, almost certainly only if sp falls further ..... as previously mentioned, just so dificult to determine a realistic and sensible price, even if some sort of drilling result comes in

When the price goes up with no rns, we all assume someone has an inside line on imminent good news. When the sp goes down, I wonder if the same is true in reverse?
I assume lots of stop losses are triggering, hence the continued fall. Big spread at the moment 15.50p - 16.50p.

you may have assumed that someone had an inside line when sp was on the way up - i didn't ...... fall is almost certainly no more than profit taking (no one ever went broke doing so!), but it could also be argued that, at least for the time being, sp has got too far ahead of itself, purely on lemming-rush speculation and anticipation

Well it's trying to fight back again now.
2517

don't dispute it, and am not unduly surprised ...... however, a 50% profit in a few weeks was very welcome, and in all honesty, there is no point in setting stop losses to protect a profit if you then override them ..... confess i often break my own rules, and have often suffered the consequences

Do T10's trade expire after 2 weeks? I see this is the cause of sell of shares, these people were probably expecting immenient news within the last 2 weeks ie Z34 and XXI. The shares have risen in last 2 weeks

Good point!
Any lower and I'll buy more.

the market is looking pretty soggy in general ...... this is, i am sure, no more than a much needed correction, but it is not unlikley that this will force out a number of quite heavy sales across the board, and in particular (as is usually the case) in mini-minnows

But, imo, it would also indicate that news on GOO is not expected in the very near future (this week).

Well, somebody in iii website stated that G Moore emailed him and stated the test results will be within 20 days. However the Z34 license must be close surely

As I posted before:
Peru - XXI Testing starts 7th Nov '06.
Peru - Z34 4 months now required (from 2nd Oct) for ministerial approval to go ahead.
I have not seen anything on the GOO website to change this.

i really do question the veracity and credibility of these piddly little PIs who put about that the CEO of a public company can really be bothered to correspond on matters that are not yet in the public domain .... or even if they are for that matter

So what are you trying to say, cynic? C'mon, spit it out! :o)

Gary is really good at answering e. mails Cynic, this week though IMO will be a buying opportunity.
Again though it was a restart on the 7th Nov I am interested on what caused the halt?
Anyone technical any feedback?
