Around 1/2 million shares bought in the last knockings today.

Someone is playing games with us holders I think!

if it is shorting -seems to be a lot of this in oil sector- more a less same charts for premier, hardman, woodside with sey -joint interests think we need a positive trading update soon.

HNR up over 7% in Oz overnight!

Crikey!

Tiof 6 news leaking perhaps????

has a corner been turned here??? Hils get ready with your 17p short!

Not yet, Proptrade. There were a couple of aspects of the chart that I posted last week which are preventing me from re-entering the market one way or the other at the moment.

i am sure, it was just a Monday morning comment to see if you were around!

out of interst where are your entry levels (both sides)?

big 5 mil trade at 15.25 just went through!

can't see 5 mil trade going through?- can see on advfn 500,000 sell- proptrade you aren't short of this are you?> total volume around 7 million so 5m trade seems unlikely.

5,413,333 at 15.25 went through the market. chack out the time and sales click through (a "T") next to charts on the quote page.

lizard, i am most positively long of this stock. love it to pieces!

apologise you were right- advfn doesn't show this- will check further.

no problem at all! better stick to this site then!

gathering pace, up 1.25

about time they moved the offer of 15.5, spread seems tight on volume.

thank you

Bit of excitement here today, nice rise though. I wonder what the drilling update will bring tomorrow. HNR and PMO up also. Interesting large trade earlier.

Knackered.

500 mile round trip after posting the above message and not knowing what was going on all day.

I am now going to relax in the knowledge that,


BIG THINGS ARE AFOOT

He says in a blatent ramping fashion.

Oh in respect of charts and the head and shoulders, the line can break either way, up or down of the neck.

Hilary correctly identified that it was a decision point for this stock.

Thank you Hilary. (you are off filter I really like the forex thread)

I dont yet know for sure why it broke up or if it will be sustained, but I think we will find out soon.

In any event charts can not be applied to a news driven stock like this one, unless nothing is happening, which is not the case.

Cheers all.

Tiof 6 = an oil column, not yet measured.

This does mean that Tiof 6 will be commercial and huge imo

RE: MAURITANIA DRILLING PROGRAMME
WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORT


Hardman Resources Ltd ('Hardman') provides the following progress report on the
Mauritania offshore drilling programme:

Tiof-6 Appraisal Well - PSC B

Progress and Current Status:
Since the last report on 4 January 2005 the West Navigator drilled the Tiof-6
well to the final total depth of 2,963 metres and commenced wireline logging. At
midnight (GMT) 10 January the logging programme was continuing. A preliminary
analysis of logs acquired while drilling and the wireline logs acquired so far
indicates the presence of an oil column. It is currently planned that the well
will be suspended to allow the rig to work on the Chinguetti development
drilling programme before returning to flow test the Tiof-6 well.

Well Location:
The Tiof discovery is located approximately 90 kilometres west of Nouakchott,
the Mauritanian capital and 25 kilometres north of the Chinguetti Field. The
Tiof-6 well is located 3 kilometres west of the Tiof-1 discovery well and 1
kilometre east of Tiof-3. Water depth is approximately 1,165 metres.

Well Details:
The Tiof-6 well is intended to further appraise the Tiof oil discovery and will
continue the evaluation of the Miocene channel sand system within the Tiof Field
area as interpreted with 3D seismic.

Chinguetti Development Drilling

Since the last report on 4 January, the Stena Tay has continued drilling
operations on the Chinguetti field. Hardman does not intend to provide detailed
weekly reports during the course of the development well drilling programme but
will continue to report significant matters as appropriate and in accordance
with its continuous disclosure obligations.


Other information:

All reported depths are referenced to the rig rotary table (except water depth).

Times and dates refer to Mauritania time (GMT), 8 hours behind Western Standard
Time, Perth.

A map showing the location of the 2004/05 wells is available on the Hardman
website (
www.hdr.com.au
) and will be updated during the course of the 2004/2005
drilling programme.

The government of Mauritania has exercised its right to participate in the
Chinguetti development, as previously announced, and the resulting joint venture
interests in the Chinguetti Field and PSC B are:

Company PSC B Chinguetti Field
(Remainder)
Woodside group companies (operator) 53.846% 47.384%
Hardman group companies 21.6% 19.008%
BG group companies 11.63% 10.234%
Premier group companies 9.231% 8.123%
ROC Oil group companies 3.693% 3.250%
Groupe Projet Chinguetti (Govt. interest) -

Morning all.
