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:

Woodside group companies (operator) 53.846% 47.384%

Morning all.

Hope you're not still knackered SWW! Drilling report out. Seems something is afoot!

Edited my post seeing as you already posted the results.

Hi gav, still flat but then I rarely drive more than 10 miles ata time now, still I stopped for a little nap during the last 150 miles and that was lovely............................

500 miles is a fair trip in one day, distance between me here and London! Take me a while to drive that.

Nice to see a presence of an oil column here after some of the last results. And now the rig moves onto work on Chinguetti before returning to Tiof. Hopefully a good day here.

For info...........

PCI thread has an EVO Broker note on it for PCI.

Reading that I have more confidence in the one they wrote for SEY.

I have called it, (the PCI one), brutally honest.

" Des + Sey stake currently worth just over 1/ Wte share. "
Posted on the other side 10/1/05 , are they right ?

aldwickk - whats Wte? Please. :>)

Westmount energy.

on 26,000 shares!

Thankyou aldwick. Thought that you were refering to some other unit of measure to do with oil volumes. Ta.

2x 5 million buys @15.75p

Looks like a roll-over to me Lizard. Sell 5m at 15.73 and buy them back at 15.75 right after. Of course I could be wrong.

RE: WIRELINE LOG RESULTS FOR TIOF-6, MAURITANIA
PAGES: 1
Hardman Resources Ltd (Hardman) provides the following report on the evaluation of the
wireline data:
Tiof-6 Appraisal Well - PSC B
Progress and Current Status:
Since the last announcement made on Tuesday 11 January, evaluation of wireline and drilling
data, including downhole pressure measurements and fluid sampling indicates that Tiof-6 has
intersected oil over a gross interval of at least 123 metres. Wireline oil samples have been
recovered to surface. It is interpreted that no gas or water leg has been intersected by the
well. The interval comprises several good quality sands of varying thickness, and meets the
criteria for flow testing. The well will thus be cased and temporarily suspended, allowing the
West Navigator rig to conduct Chinguetti development drilling, before returning to resume
Tiof-6 test preparations.
Comment:
Chinguetti development drilling has priority over other drilling activity in this campaign. The
Joint Venture is committed to being flexible in rig scheduling in order to maximise the
operational efficiencies of running two rigs simultaneously. Thus individual wells are
occasionally re-scheduled at short notice, as with the Tiof-6 drilling and completion activities.
