From the latest company's drilling update....17 Feb

Can anyone with mining knowledge explain these terms....

What does sidetracking mean? Approx how ong will that take?
Approx. how long will it take to correct a deviated section?
Is 'crude oil in shale samples' a good indication that there is oil?
Is 'Gas-bearing porous sands being logged' a good indication that there is gas?
Basically what does logging involve ?

Any views re AEX potential??

Still not too late - I think there is more upside

Bugz (and other potential investors),
It's always difficult to buy a share when you know that you could, and should, have got it a day or two earlier at a reasonably lower price (happens to me at least once a week !!).
In my experience it really does not matter that you may have missed out on the first 2 or 3 pence rise this week.
If the story is a good one (and with Aminex it is currently one positive announcement after another) then you have to look at where the SP is going and not where it has come from.
IMO I think we are heading towards 30p pretty sharpish and certainly 50p would appear to be a perfectly reasonable target on a 3 or 4 month view. Even at that price the Company would 'only' be valued at around 80 million which is a snip for all the potential that it is showing.
So you have to decide whether buying at 24 or 25p today is a good deal with the potential outlined above.
It was a no brainer for me and I topped up this morning.

Considering adding a third tranche - my only reservation is the Aminex % weighting in my portfolio!

Greyhound: You shouldn't have too great a chunk of your wealth at risk from the whims of the NK government. I think this is a great share, but I have take healthy profits in my dealing account the past couple of weeks, and put it into CSB which has more or less kept pace with AEX. I still have a big holding in my ISA - I can't find much else on the main list with such potential - and wouldn't want to out of AEX altogether in coming weeks and months.

Squidd, my thoughts entirely. Do you mean CSB?

Hi all,
After taking some profit last week, by the way which was a mistake, I have been buying nearly everyday. It's a shame I could not buy a big chunk last week or even yesterday, but this was to do with availability of funds. Just topped up again. I am sure AEX will be recommended by tipsters and there is bound to be some comments on the weekend newspapers.

Let's hope you're right kaysmart, particularly with NK talks resuming on the 9th.

GH: Yes, Crosby Capital; look at the chart on the thread, newly updated by Goldfinger.

Despite the potential risk here, decided earlier to take a third tranche. Anyone get the feeling there's something brewing this afternoon?

No idea mate-Just wish I had the guts to jump aboard following the recent rise-but I dont!

Bugz, know what you mean but there appears to be serious momentum behind this stock now and the press haven't got hold of it yet!

Hi Greyhound,

I had the same feeling thats why I have been buying all this week. Unfortunately I have no funds available to buy more today. I managed to buy some yesterday. I have a feeling we will be crossing the 30p mark soon. It could be that AEX will be recommended by tipsters over the weekend or some very positive RNS coming out soon. Lots of buying. L2 showing all arrows blue currently 4 MMs have buy orders @ 27.5 and 1 MM have sell order @28 one more @ 28.25 and the rest @ 28.50 it has been changing as I am writing. I am now convinced there is something up.

L2 Has changed again its 28.25/29
Bugz I am sorry to see you are still out in the cold. I know it is difficult to time it correctly but with this one I think you need to follow the crowed. I had the same problem after selling last week, did not know what to do but as you remember I got back in quickly and I am so glad I did. Time will tell weather I made the right decision. As it stands now I am making a hefty profit

kaysmart - u dun well me boy - good call

Just spoken to a couple brokers and they inform me no "known news" but price really getting squeezed, buyers outweighing sellers, 2:1

Party pooper !!!!!

;o)

First buy at 30 just gone through. Does anyone know if Edison's or anyone else for that matter have put out a new note yet? I seem to remember talk a while ago on this thread that Edison's would soon be writing a new one.

Coming back a bit now - I wonder what sparked this then - talks starting on Monday ??

Back up again 29/30 on L2.
I think MMs are short of stock, so they tried to find some profit takers. It looks like something is up, as no one seems to know why suddenly SP has moved up 4.25p today.

Tomorrow is Small Company Share Watch newsletter - maybe it's their lead?? You never know!
