On the move up this morning

Oil has been shooting up....so palm oil follows...

485,000 buy after the close

tipped in T1PS today.

Summary paragraph as follows:-


'Brokers forecast their cashflows on the basis of a price of $750 a tonne for the oil. This is, as it happens, below the current market price and I do expect that price to increase materially during the current decade. But even on these low price models, the company should (via its 50% share of the JV) be generating at least GBP12 million free cashflow from 2016 onwards with that number increasing at a rate of 20% per annum as new trees come onstream. The sensitivity to a higher palm oil price is pretty massive so there is real upside in this regard.
So what is the end game? The company could, like other plantation companies, simply use its surplus cashflow to pay dividends. My guess is that Siva will seek to gain control and take its turn via a trade sale, but that is a way off. The question is what is EPO worth? Using the fairly conservative pricing assumptions, assuming all warrants and options are exercised then I arrive at a number of 45p per share. The house broker's model is 35-53p per share. However, I am not utterly convinced that Liberia will remain the happy multi-party democracy Hilary Clinton says that it will and as such my inclination is to apply a significant risk weighting to the stock. Having risen from my 12.5p tip through the 15p limit buy price, I currently rate this a hold for those already invested. However, considering the strong potential upside still available, for those not already in who accept the risk of investing in Liberia, I am happy to rate the shares a buy.'

Investors Chronicle had a short term target of 35p this week, can someone copy & paste it on here

look's like punter's are switching from NBPO down 2% into PAL. Maybe the weather forecast is better were we are ? read link above.

The only problem with this is that it's not producing much....3 years before it does....a lot of planting going on....so it is essential to monitor the price of crude oil and palm oil....in a downturn : this would drop as well by perhaps a large percentage....

Lot's of sell's of NBPO

("EPO" or "Company")



Installation of Liberia's Only Commercial Palm Oil Mill





Equatorial Palm Oil plc (AIM: EPO) the Liberia, West African focussed sustainable oil palm plantation developer, is pleased announce that the installation of the new oil mill (the "Mill") for the Palm Bay Plantation ("Palm Bay"), located 160km south east of Monrovia, is proceeding on schedule.



The Mill will be Liberia's only commercial palm oil processing mill following the successful commissioning by the end of December 2010. The Mill has been constructed on site by Modipalm Engineering Sdn. Bhd. ('Modipalm'), a leading Malaysian manufacturer of palm oil mills. Modipalm's engineers are currently carrying out production test runs on site and it is expected that commercial production of crude palm oil ("CPO") will commence in January 2011. The engineering team will remain on site to train EPO mill operators to ensure that production of CPO is optimised.



The Mill will have a throughput of five tonnes of fresh fruit bunches per hour and is expected to produce approximately one tonne of CPO per hour once commercial production is established. CPO will be produced from existing rehabilitated areas owned by EPO, which holds a land position of circa 34,398 hectares at Palm Bay. The Mill will provide training and educational facilities for future crude oil mills that EPO is planning to build over the next five years in Liberia.



EPO has also agreed that if additional capacity is available, the Mill will produce CPO from fresh fruit bunches bought from out growers and small farm holders in the region. It is expected that the CPO produced will be sold domestically within Liberia.





Michael Frayne, Chairman of Equatorial Palm Oil, commented:



"We are extremely pleased to have the Mill built and in operation, having worked closely with Modipalm's specialist engineering team. We look forward to moving into commercial production in January 2011 and operating the only commercial palm oil mill in Liberia. EPO remains focused on becoming the leading CPO in West Africa and we will keep all our stakeholders fully informed of further developments."
