Or even Madagascar Afren ???

Maybe rekirkham, I kind of wonder why they have gone back into Mauritania bearing in mind the company breaking prospects there. (I refer to Hardman Resources for one and the quick exit by Woodside and others from that area). The geology is described as difficult and yet in they go again. Must have a reason I just wonder if it is sound?

Chinguetti has failed to deliver as promised all those years ago and other great finds in the same blocks have failed to cut the mustard because of said geology.

Just thinking out loud.

poo bear
I understand and agree with what you write about Mauritania.
However SEY investment is only about £ 2.5m I think - so not major, plus I guess
the SEY CEO knows more about the geology of the area than we do, so maybe it is another thing we need to take on trust.
Remember SEY also have gone into Somaliland with Genel, and I wonder if any
progress is taking place there.
If SEY are still cash rich they may now be in a good position to buy into any licenses
that are on offer cheaply ??
It would be nice to see a bit of action from SEY

I think the thread title is wrong... should be the other way round....

LOL.

Yes, as you may be aware they do have previous for buying other companies, (2003)Mauritania Licenses used to belong to Fusion Oil and Gas till they made a cheeky hostile takeover bid and succeeded.

The upshot was not too bad as the FOG BoD went on to found Ophir Energy, the rest of that is history.

Funny to see the ebb and flow of these companies and their like over a long period, unless you were a holder as I was for some of that period
.

SEY were supposed to have many company making assets on the go then and along the line, and yet here we are still in exactly the same place 12 years later, except they and a few others have a massive share dilution attributed to them, the most striking in SEY's case being the 1 for 40 share dilution of a couple of years ago.

When I look back very few of the "......exciting company making ventures." by these oily minnows have actually done anything other than pay the BoD a usually handsome salary.
