what a day with more news expected????

well loooking at the trades and the buys v sells thought i better have a few. Oh silly me.,.

Viridas announces that it has sold 592,666,667 ordinary shares in Leed Petroleum plc ("Leed") at an average price per share of 0.48 pence or for an aggregate consideration of £2,869,200.

Leed is a natural resources company listed on AIM which has an investment in Manas Coal Limited Liability Company, the main activity of which is the exploration and development of coking coal resources and deposits within the Kyrgyz Republic.


Following this sale, Viridas will continue to hold 166,666,667 warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares at a subscription price of 0.15 pence per share.


Nicholas Lee, Chairman said:


"Given the increase in the valuation of Leed, and the strong interest in the company being shown by a range of investors, Viridas has decided to sell the majority of its holding in order to make funds available for other investment opportunities. I continue to believe that Leed represents an exciting investment opportunity and so Viridas has decided to retain both a financial interest in Leed and I will also continue as a director of the company.


I firmly believe that Viridas' strategy is capable of creating significant value for shareholders as demonstrated by the substantial return made from its investment in Leed. In addition, I see the current interest in Leed as being an endorsement of our initial investment decision and a strong indication that Leed is set for an exciting future."

interesting day so far

good time to buy imo for a quick large profit b4 xmas :-))))
gla

Are you having a laugh gibby - I will have to live until I am 200yrs of age to get my money back. Just wondering how many millions of shares I would have to buy to get the b. awful price I am at now after their wonderful consolidation down to a reasonable level. However gl to all that are in at this price if they ever come right and sad for all of us who got into the trap. Consolidations should be made illegal as far as I am concerned and don't want any comments on that.

3ms - i agree with you todays sp is awful for anyone in at the old former prices - however at todays price i believe we have just seen bottom - have heard from a trusted city source friend that now (28th lol) is the time to buy as due some upside shortly before year end - i have bought some reasonably sized sums in anticipation gl whichever you decide and have a great weekend ldp aside

come off it gib, stop getting us excited......or your on the wrong thread.,.

baler - yeee of little faith - not long to end of year now :-)
gl

lol hope and wish your right. :)

("Leed")

Update in relation to Manas Coal LLC



As shareholders will be aware, Leed made an investment amounting to £957,000 for a shareholding in Manas Coal LLC ("Manas") which holds a coal exploration licence at Kok Kiya in the Kyrgyz Republic. The purpose of the investment was in part to finance a scoping study which would be a precursor to a larger exploration and work programme. The study was commenced and preliminary results received by the Company. However, during 2012, Manas was not able to complete its programme, having not raised the additional resources as required. In August 2012, Manas was notified that another party held a licence over part of the Kok Kiya licence area in conflict with Manas, a licence for that area having apparently been granted to more than one party. Manas was, however, confident that the full licence area would be returned to it in due course and that in any event the remaining area contained a sizeable and viable coal resource. Leed was subsequently informed that plans for the financing of Manas were advancing in conjunction with a further transaction which would result in the project being quoted on the AIM Market. In November 2012, the Manas licence at Kok Kiya expired but Manas was successful in obtaining a renewal of the licence area not under dispute to November 2015.



While Manas has pursued its claim for the restoration of the full licence area through the Kyrgyz courts, it has been unable to obtain a favourable judgment through a number of hearings. Meanwhile work on the remaining area has remained on hold pending resolution of the licence dispute. Manas has not carried out any exploration or other work on the remaining licence area.



The Board of Leed has become concerned at the apparent lack of further progress. The financing of Manas and the AIM quotation referred to above has not proceeded and, although Manas has maintained a local presence and continues to believe that the legal rectification of the licence dispute remains in due course likely, there has evidently been little other activity and the minimum expenditure obligations set out under the licence terms have not been met. It has become difficult recently to obtain reliable management or financial information and there appears now to be little dialogue between the principal stakeholders. When the investment was considered at the time of Leed's Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2012, the Directors relied on Manas' opinion that the full licence area would be restored to Manas and that the remaining area in any case had a valuable and viable coal resource. It was also assumed that, in those circumstances, resources would be made available to Manas to enable it to move the project forward.



The Board of Leed has held a number of discussions with the management and shareholders of Manas in the recent past with a view to their securing additional funding for the project and bringing about renewed cooperation and momentum; but these discussions have to date had no result. Leed has been informed that Manas does not currently have sufficient resources to carry out its work programme or maintain an effective local operating team, nor does it have immediate prospects of funding. The project has always been dependent on raising further finance to carry out an exploration and development programme. In view of the lack of progress or significant funding over the past twelve months, the Board of Leed has given careful consideration to its investment and has come to the conclusion at this time that it should make a full provision for impairment against the investment in Manas in Leed's forthcoming results and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2013. The Board will keep the matter under review in the event that further resources in the future become available to Manas.



The Directors greatly regret this outcome, as it remains the case that there is likely to be a significant coal resource within the licence area now held by Manas, but the inability of Manas to take matters forward or to bring to bear even the minimum expenditure obligations under the licence leaves the Board with little alternative.

buy off current sp for fast gain :-)
