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??

Stephen

A fantastic article was posted this evening on a couple of other BB's:

http://ogj.pennnet.com/articles/article_display.cfm?Section=ARCHI&C=Depa&ARTICLE_ID=241784&KEYWORDS=aminex

It gives a very thorough picture of the background work Aminex have done with the North Koreans over the last few years and, indeed, why the Koreans are happy dealing with Aminex rather than a larger, or better known, company.

It gives a wonderful idea of the fantastic potential for Aminex.

Have we been tipped for 2006 then?

Havnt read anything yet.

SEOUL, Jan. 2 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's diplomacy in the coming year will be focused on resolving the North Korean nuclear crisis, Seoul's foreign minister said Monday.

Europe needs Gas they need money, use LNG ships, so bypassing the Russian pipelines.

Very quite on here today given this mornings rise.

a big sale of 672000 shares has finally been serviced.
I think it is now time for Aminex to break previous trading ranges and move on towards 35p

:0)

Buys coming in now, taking this into new territory.

lanayel

Do you think it was a sale. I would have said a buy. WINS have been looking for stock all day and it looks like the publication was the closing off a deal they have been working. Given that WINS are still on the bid, I would say that they are still looking for stock.

I was speculating on exactly the same theory - Winterfloods had indeed been 0.5p bid above the rest most of the afternoon and still are (as you state).
I thought that perhaps they had 'persuaded' someone to sell the 672k to them as they continue to pick up stock for their client.
(ps it's not you is it ?)

Not that I follow this, but Robbie Burns (thenakedtrader) back in up to 40p. No doubt has a few "followers"!

Not us lanayel. Not at this price and not for a long while bearing in mind our target.

U.S. Ready To Resume Six-Party talks

http://www.truthnews.net/month/2006010020.htm

Washington -- The United States is ready to return to the Six-Party Talks, but without new conditions, says Alexander Vershbow, the U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Korea.

Speaking January 4 to the Korean-American Association in Seoul, Vershbow said the United States is hopeful that the talks involving North and South Korea, Japan, China, Russia and the United States will resume soon.

"The United States is ready to return to the table without attaching any new conditions, and we expect North Korea to do the same," he said.

North Korea agreed to proceed with abandoning its nuclear weapons programs in an agreement signed September 19 and participated in talks in November 2005 aimed at implementing the pact.

China urges U.S., N. Korea back to talks
January 5, 2006

BEIJING --China urged the United States and North Korea on Thursday to resolve a dispute over sanctions so that talks on dismantling the North's nuclear programs can resume.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Beijing hoped for a quick resumption of the six-nation negotiations that also involve Japan, South Korea and Russia. But he suggested that while China stood ready to do its share, the United States and North Korea also need to make a good-faith effort to resolve disagreements.

The plodding, painstaking negotiations, which last convened in November, have recently stalled over sanctions Washington placed on a Macau-based bank and eight North Korean companies alleged to have taken part in currency counterfeiting or weapons proliferation. The North said anew this week that the sanctions must be lifted before it would return to the nuclear talks.

Qin, without naming Washington or Pyongyang, said "China hoped that the relevant parties can proceed from the general interest, respect each other and consult with each other on an equal footing."

we will now move on to 40p.good luck all.

Kim Jong-il appears keen to maintain dialogue with his neighbours...

The United States has urged North Korea to return to international nuclear talks, and with Kim Jong-il, making a trip to Russia and China to keep dialogue open, things could only improve in the diplomatic arena for North Koreans.

U.S. envoy to N.Korea nuclear talks starts Asia

http://news.nabou.com/cgi-bin/newsframe/437892yks4328903Dnabou2BInews421789994asgw3798etys6787/18A8047A97056E4D9B2CDA039BFF5E58backheadline3DHow2Bdo2BI2Bcut2Ba2Boout3Fnews26o3D0/FrameIt.cgi?Url=http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?r452290811

A key U.S. envoy Christopher Hill, who happens to be the U.S.cheif negotiator for the talks, began a flurry of talks in Tokyo, Seoul and Beijing on Wednesday to shore up crumbling negotiations on ending North Korea's nuclear weapons programmes.

A senior Japanese official said Hill's Asia visit was a sudden one but he did not know if it was linked to Kim's trip.

What a load of rubbish ! Of course it is linked to our dear leaders visit. Kim Jong-il entered China on Tuesday and Hill starts jumping around immediately incase Russia and china do a deal with our dear leader. I am sure we will see more posturing from both side and then the resumption of Six party talks in the very near future.

Yes indeed !!!

Whatever the politicians may say (and my father used to say that all politicians are liars - it is part of the requirement) this is definitely an attempt to get the talks moving along.

Guess what ??

The Aminex share price tends to agree !!
