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.

The Opportunity
•Proven commercial petroleum system
•52 oil prospects, defined by excellent quality 3D seismic data
•CPR attributes 3.1 billion barrels of prospective recoverable resource to the prospects, with upside of 10.4 billion barrels
•40 additional leads identified and under review
•Several prospects similar to Sea Lion
•Prospects have been de-risked by the Sea Lion discovery
•Potential extension of Johnson gas discovery into licence
•Licence 100% owned by Argos Resources
•Benign operating environment
•Stable Government with a competitive tax regime

"Johnson also a discovery holding several trillion cubic feet of gas greatly reduce the threshold for any further discoveries to be commercial".

Steady Rob tant amount to treason that comment......With Liz only a quarter the distance from sea lion and coming up dry, compaired to ernest imo argos is 100-1 against any oil show.

With every prospect identified there is a risk of hitting oil or not, forget what some reporter has wrote. Use you own judgement and read up.

Thats why seismic is done 2D then 3D Argos have some canny prospects on 2D and after 3D it will slash them odds eg RKH if you read up

100 to 1 balerboy I would bet you a pile of money at them odds.

Not much down side on this stock as in NFB and oil has been found..Fact

The more success with DES or RKH the more the price will riseFact

DES has yet to strike..

Des have only drilled one hole...............early days.....Desire found Gas in Liz.

That rig is not leaving the NFB in a hurry.....Fact!!!!!

chill marky...only putting another point of view... i want to make money as much as everyone else here.:))

2 wells were drilled by Shell on the Argos acreage back in 1998, but where plugged and abandoned as uncommercial after having oil shows . So we know there is oil to be found.

only offered by 4 x MMs and in blocks of only 10,000
interestingly, sp is still below opening price when it came to market

"Shell abandoned some small finds near the Sea Lion discovery " Would be nice to know how much they found ".

I bought just a top up of 3000 shares the other day no problem ( Natwest )

my post is accurate! .... natwest would have had to buy from MMs, so sp potentially distorted and controlled

no problem getting a CFD.

i know that, but those are still governed by 4 x MMs in tranches of +/-3,000 .... merely a caveat

From tips thread:

The Guardian

Argos barometer indicates possibility of a cold Christmas.
