Rockhopper was established in 2004 with a strategy to invest in and undertake an offshore oil exploration programme in the North Falkland Basin. It was floated on AIM in August 2005. Rockhopper was the first company to make a commercial oil discovery in the Falklands. Today Rockhopper is the largest acreage holder in the North Falkland Basin, with interests in the Greater Mediterranean region.

Nice interview to watch :

Gill Leates of JM Finn says oil around the Falklands has the potential to far exceed the North Sea

Wednesday, November 17, 2010


Gill Leates, manager of the JM Finn UK Smaller Companies Fund, confirms that the potential for opportunities in the waters around the Falkland Islands could be as much as 60bln barrels of oil, however it's likely to be sometime before it's proven. Gill also said that the outperformance of small caps over larger cap stocks is likely to continue as innovative companies produce good earnings growth.

DES, FOGL & RKH all up today, but on mediocre volume, so not expecting the rise to remain.

neither RKH nor DES have the luxury of earnings let alone profits!

You need to watch the interview cynic before you comment, she talks about a few things, one of which is the FI and another is small caps...........

9 brokers say strong buy and I agree.

Couple of muppets say "short to 30p" although they are silent muppets at the moment...... ;)

i have better things to do ..... if DES and/or RKH have genuinely hit the jackpot, then i am delighted and shall do very well out of it

.

Rumour has it they are doing some roadshows in the USA next week. Would not surprise given RKH has both Merrill Lynch/Bank of America and Goldman Sachs with "Strong Buy" ratings on the company.

Infatuation and objectivity tend to be mutually exclusive.

Hell what did you have for dinner blackdown!!!

oysters and lots of them!

Still studying the menu.

On the night, the judges awarded the the Small Cap prize to Encore but the company was pipped by Falklands group, Rockhopper Exploration (LON:RKH) for the title of Explorer of the Year. Rockhopper's strength in this category came as little surprise. Its share price soared earlier this year on news that it had become the first (and so far only) explorer in the region to give investors something to cheer about. Nevertheless, EnCores CEO, Alan Booth won the most prestigious award for Executive of the Year, fending off competition from Amjad Beisu of EnQuest (LON:ENQ), Ronald Pantin of Pacific Rubiales (TSE:PRE) and Tom Cross of Dana Petroleum. Tom Cross had been seen by some as a favourite in recognition of its efforts at Dana, which was taken over recently in a titanic struggle by KNOC. However, observers noted that the recent stratospheric share price performance of The Parkmead Group (LON:PMG) is in itself clear recognition of the esteem in which Tom is held by investors.
