LONDON (AFX) - Chaco Resources PLC said it is proposing the reverse takeover
of two Paraguayan companies -- Amerisur SA and Bohemia SA -- from Candey SA and
Daniel Sztern in exchange for 27,322,404 new ordinary shares in the company.
It also plans to raise up to 750,000 stg before expenses in a placing of
36,585,365 new ordinary shares.
The company's shares were suspended on Sept 3 and it said it expects this to
be lifted today. It has called an EGM for Nov 15 to approve the acquisition and
placing plans.
Amerisur holds two oil and gas prospecting permits in Paraguay and is the
registered applicant for exploration and exploitation concession contracts over
the same permit areas. Bohemia holds registered applications for an oil and gas
prospecting permit in Paraguay and for an exploration and exploitation
concession contract over the same area.
The exploration areas covered by these three applications comprise a total of
approximately 48,000 square kilometres of the Curypayty and Parana Basins.
Chaco said these basins extend respectively into Bolivia and Brazil, where
commercial oil and gas production has been established for many years from
similar geological sections.

ddoc2, You will have seen figures MPH and I have produced on CHP; as a benchmark I used GED as a compariso,(they have interests in Colombia) and scaled back to allow for CHP needing to build a reputation for delivering the goods. If the company stick to what they said at the AGM they should produce 3 more separate pieces of news over this week and next; two items relate to Colombia and one to Paraguay. Assuming that that news is positive whether that will mean that the sp starts immediately to take account of CHP's growing asset value (it hasn't yet even on the Alea deal in Colombia) remains a query; however in my view the mkt will catch up to what CHP has and can achieve at some stage.

WDBM still buying at high bid.

ss & mph - Thanks for the ongoing commentary. Very much appreciated.

Slipping down again without news!

just a tiny dip bodeng.

WDBM still high bid

For a company about to announce yet more good news on Colombia and some extra news not spoken about at the AGM, according to a poster on ADFVN, the sp dipping today seems totally unjustified.

Now dont start going soft on me SS !!

Oh my god don`t tell me the doughboy curse has struck again!
Everybody out,only joking!

Baza, Who's going soft? I still rate this the most stunning opportunity I've come across for a long time. I would have bought more this morning but haven't any further cash left outside of ISAs. I did buy more SEO first this morning (one of your favourites?) and only bought them instead of CHP because it was for an ISA fund.

Has anyone managed to fathom the IR website to find out which companies on AIM are eligible for taper relief. My tax office referred me to www.hmrc.gov.uk but a search on there produced a bible of pages to go through; life is too short so has anyone already got a link that they can post here? (just getting ready for the inevitable CHP profits)

Try this
http://www.cgtcalculator.com/ I am told it is pretty good although I have not used it myself

Baza, Thanks.

Odd action first thing.

Just 2 MM trades totalling 75k so far.

WDBM still high bid

MPH, reckon the placing announcement is close so most sitting on the sidelines.

Baza, tried out your CGT calculator website. The calculator works fine but it didn't give me the answer I wanted! It seemed to suggest that the CGT taper relief over 1 and 2 years is not available for CHP. That could be very bad news next year if the shares perform in line with my expectations.

Sharesure / Baza

I tried out the above CGT calculation and if you change the dates to say a buy in 2003 and a sell this year it gives CHP Taper relief but @ 10%, that cannot be correct as it should be 50% reduction after 1 year and 75% after 2 years, perhaps someone else has a more sound understanding of the matter than I do.

I am afraid I have not tried it so cannot offer any advice

Baza

3 M trades this morning, anyone know what is happening. Thinking of buying back in at these prices.

Don't want to be accused of ramping but for what it may be worth one broker friend reckoned that the placing must be very close to being announced after which by his calculation the sp should then move smartly up to 12p.Hope he is right (he has been on some other aspects of CHP so far) but also we must be due the outcome of the other TEA negotiations. I'm staying in on this one as I do think it will perform well over the next 6 months even if there are blips in that sp progress.

syd443s - forgive my question - but what are the differences between the trade types - I've seen several - and being new to shares - just 'dipping my toe in' on this one - just wondered what they all mean,

Thanks

'M' trade is a Market Maker to Market Maker trade as far as I understand it but not sure quite what that means to the sp, 'O' trade is just an ordinary trade.

syd

thanks for that - is an A and automatic one?
