Argos Resources Ltd is an AIM quoted oil and gas exploration company based in the Falkland Islands, ideally placed to make the most of an exciting new oil province heading towards production.

Argos holds a 100% interest in Licence PL001, which covers approximately 1,126 square kilometres in the North Falkland Basin. The licence boundary is just 3km from the Sea Lion oil field, a significant discovery on course for production start-up in 2017.

New 3D seismic data of excellent quality was acquired over the entire licence area in 2011 and has identified 52 prospects with a best estimate of 3,083 million barrels of prospective recoverable resource, and a high estimate of 10,412 million barrels. 40 additional leads have been identified which are not included in the above resource figures and which are the subject of ongoing work.

The Company is now seeking an exploration partner to drill a selection of key prospects to unlock the value of this exciting opportunity.

so maybe expecting to get back in to the Falklands now garages sold they cant be held so ransom by Argentina

Crude still rising.....tensions with Iran..Palestine/Israel troubles....doubts about the USA shale production.....Opec grip on barrels per day....can't do the sp any harm.....au contraire.....makes Sealion and others much more viable....plus a mini market cap....

Chap on CNBC today predicting oil to reach $80-85 pb by the end of the year as he doubts Saudi will increase their production. Venezuela broke and US producers only starting to fill the gap.
All good for the RKH / ARG sp's but any kind of production way off in the future for the Falkland drillers.

looks like bubble has burst,no good reason for it going up as more or less a shell.

well there's a surprise .... rocket and stick!

PL001 LICENCE REASSIGNMENT
Argos Resources Limited (AIM: ARG.L), (the "Company", "Argos"), the Falkland Island based exploration company which holds a 5% Overriding Royalty Interest in Licence PL001 in the North Falkland Basin, announces that its Working Interest partners in the Licence, Noble Energy Falklands Limited ("Noble") and Edison International S.p.A ("Edison") have served notice of their intention to withdraw from the Licence.

The Company intends to take a reassignment of the Licence from Noble and Edison, as provided for under the Participation Agreement entered into between the Company, Noble and Edison in February 2016. The Company is already in contact with the Falkland Islands Government to seek the required approvals to transfer the Working Interests back to Argos.

Ian Thomson, Chairman of Argos, commented:
"The Company remains very positive about the potential of Licence PL001. We have sufficient cash reserves to meet our ongoing requirements while we progress discussions with the Government on the reassignment of the Licence and seek to secure other partners to participate in its development".

Makes you wonder how long they can survive without an income from Noble and Edison,they will need to get there cap out soon to stay afloat.


They have sat on there hands for years, cant see them getting a partner either as RKH and PMO been wanting a farm in and nothing as of yet come forward and its all guns blazing at moment.
