Bought into IVE this morning, purely on speculation only... small time though. Don't know much about them though ! in for a penny in for a pound and all that.
Got out of TPG (dead loss and falling away fast)

This from another board poster...

"Anyhow resolutions been passed and thats the result we all wanted yesterday. No good reflecting on could have been and should have known and fighting among each other aint going to help.

I am bored of IVE, frustrated and at one point was seriously gutted I had my money tied up in this shower of shlt. However, employed, healthy, sun is shining and we all will survive if this does not come good so why worry.

My opinion is the following. I think the egm also gave them permission to issue another 200,000,000 shares? I think Gasrock will take up the 100,000,000 shares. lets face it we gave them 370k so 100k is not even out of their own pocket. We will relist with a statement we are in talks with a third party. Then we will get more dilution. They will say the diltuion is needed for survival while deal is taking place. This will just buy them time to either close the deal or markets to pick up and find something else or a bit of time until final curtain call. SP will be 0.001. We will have the choice to either bail due to no deal and get pittance or to stick it out with possibly topping up. Either way its not ideal but thats what I see short term.

Anyhow wrong or right I am not the person to say a told you so. Just my opinion so everyone chill out and enjoy if unfolding."

Myself?
I was guilty of getting into IVE in the early stages @ 4.5p ish so obviously miffed with the way it's turned but I never invest any money I can't afford to loose (wasn't much with this one anyway)

I might buy some more when they come back as a pure spec. punt. We'll see...

You win some and you loose some, that's the way it goes.. Some others are doing well for me at the moment, ie, Rift, PCI, LGO & TAN so it's not all bad...

PCI looks very promising (imho, dyor)

Yes, it's looks like we'll still be business but at very very low levlel !

Hi All,
Am just back from meeting. Resolutions were passed. Therefore GasRock has options which will dilute by 10%
Company was hoping to have made an anouncement about the next steps that they would take. However negotiations still on going. Should announce soon.
There is general optimism for the future, or why would Gasrock have taken the decisions it did.

It seems that all our problems are due to low gas prices in the USA. According to Ross Warner "Licences are being relinquished as worthless in some areas near to IVE". Our acreage assets are not increasing in value!

I did point out that Nighthawk is rather successful in the same area, which may not have pleased them.

It seems we have to wait for a statement from Gas Rock as to when they take up options. Then a statement from IVE about what happens next.But above all we wait patiently for an increase in gas prices. Whilst hoping that we can have more development of oil production rather than gas.
It is not all over, even though the 3 directors present all have Accountancy or Law degrees.

From a poster on LSE

"The (public ) terms of GasRocks option are detailed in the circular which accompanied the RNS rather than the RNS itself, and available on Irvines website.

The "two months" bit comes from the time by which Irvine has to grant the option for the shares to GasRock - ie two months from when the deal was signed - so Irvine had until 18th May to actually grant the option to GasRock. They said they would do this immediately after the EGM resolution was passed, so I guess it was done on 15th May.

BUT GasRock have up to five years to subscribe for the shares ie to actually purchase the shares for 100,000. They may have done it already - but being canny businessmen I would not expect them to until Irvines future was secured.

However this does not mean doom and gloom - it is simply the way in which this part of the deal has been worked out.

More pressing is Irvines cash position - they had 110,000 left on 19th March. They said this was enough to keep going to negotiate out of the situation so news can't be far away as their cash burn last year was about 75K+ per month. Even with major economies they must be pretty brassic by now.

But it is interesting to note that the K2 share price increased by 42% yesterday. Over the last 6 weeks it is up by 300% - albeit from a very low level. It may mean nothing - on the other hand it may indicate that some deal is closer than it was between the K2/Metro/Irvine interest and a possible 3rd party."

any one with any idea whats ive is up to????

nope!...

Is this "parrot" dead?

Irvine Energy plc / Index: AIM / Epic: IVE / Sector: Exploration & Production
18 June 2009
Irvine Energy plc ('Irvine' or 'the Company')
Issue of Option to GasRock Capital

Irvine Energy plc, the AIM listed oil and gas exploration and production company, has granted GasRock Capital LLC ('GasRock') an option to subscribe for 100 million ordinary shares in the Company for 0.1 pence per share. The Company has granted the option in satisfaction of its obligations under the release of guarantee referred to in its announcement of 24 March 2009 and as approved at the general meeting of the Company on 15 May 2009.

The Company's shares will remain suspended until further notice.

Financials




The loss of the Group after taxation amounted to 2.574 million (2007: 0.850 million). The loss for the Company after taxation amounted to 16.037 million (2007: 0.594 million). The Group's cash position at 31 December 2008 was 0.488 million (2007: 1.204 million).




Outlook




In the short term, the principal objectives of the directors are to conclude additional financed acquisitions and to reach a commercial arrangement with Metro and GasRock. At this stage, it is difficult to forecast whether the Company will realise these objectives and I reiterate that the directors express no opinion on the likelihood of a successful outcome and caution shareholders against drawing any premature inferences. If the Company is able to achieve either of these objectives then it will resume operations.



On 30 January 2009, the Company requested a suspension of trading of its shares on AIM, pending clarification of the Company's financial position and discussions with GasRock. There remains a significant degree of uncertainty over the financial position of the Company and as such, the shares shall remain suspended until further notice. Shareholders should be aware that, pursuant to AIM Rule 41, the London Stock Exchange will cancel the admission of the Company's shares from the AIM Market once they have been suspended from trading for six months

That's it then...AIM delisting due within the month. It'll be put out of it's misery! and us as well !

Never has a board cocked something so promising up in such an effective way!

Another E&P statistic.

There will be more yet.

interesting development!!! may be there is some life left in IVE!!! I wonder what is the AGM mainly about???

this is a great news!!!!????????

who knows?

why appoint a chairman if things are not happening behind the scenes. I'm daring to be hopeful!! Takeover is suspected on the other side--just hope we are not shafted. lol!

I think we all need to see what the next move will be before jumping to conclusions.

Taurex has around 50/60% of 60,000 acres in Okfuskee and Lincoln Counties in Oklahoma. Irvine has about 50% of 54,000 acres in Okfuskee. Many of the Taurex leases seem to be within the Irvine/Metro AMI - as shown on Irvine's website.

Indeed Tulsa World has reported that Taurex has spudded 6 wells so far this year in townships 10N-9E and 11N-9E, all within 3 miles west or north west of Irvine's own leases. Another is about to spud, with maybe another 3 more before the beginning of October.

Also another company Culbreath brought in their well Meanders 1-3 earlier this month in township 11N-10E. This well is producing 65boepd and is located less than two miles from the northern part of Irvine's leases, and just five miles east of where Taurex has been drilling.

Why the Metro drilled wells Patriot and Priegel - located about 10-15 miles east of the Taurex/Culbreath drilling - were so poor I'm not sure, but the Culbreath well has proved that there are good drilling opportunities within spitting distance of the Irvine/Taurex acreage - and there is no reason to suppose that the Taurex/Irvine acreage is not just as good.

This is a step by step process, but it seems that we are close to finding out what deal has been negotiated - I suspect that Rob Bensh will have some good news for shareholders either at or before the AGM.

In my post 18063 of 6th July 2009 I said -

"But I agree, that they are probably busy, and the Doug Manner/Sean Austin combination is interesting, and their business links going back many years may provide the clues to what is really going on and could provide some solution to Irvine's current problems......"

Well Rob Bensh and Doug Manner were both on the Board of Bellwether Exploration in 2000/1 - Doug Manner was CEO and Rob Bensh CFO. The Taurex board also has links to investment fund managers in New York and elsewhere.

I think all we can be sure about is that things look like taking a major step forward in the near future.

All IMHO, DYOR etc.
