from AIR Midday report:
Linc Energy (LNC) have been placed in a trading halt pending an announcement on its Chinchilla coal-to-liquids facility - production of liquids from a demonstration facility has been slightly delayed on mechanical issue.
The next problem is if they rocket do you sell and buy back in again once the market goes down again?
I can see the market keep going down until investors decide its time.
Something else to add to their ASX announcement on Tuesday (See article below.) Liquids plus another deal! That would be nice!
Project puts underground coal gasification on trial run
The Vietnam Coal-Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) is to work with partners from Australia and Japan on trial use of underground coal gasification (UCG) technology in the Red River coal basin.
To this end, Vinacomin signed a 6.5 million USD project with Australia’s Linc Energy Ltd. and the Marubeni Corporation of Japan in Hanoi on Oct. 11.
Of the total investment, Vinacomin contributes up to 60 percent, while the rest is shouldered equally by Linc Energy and Marubeni.
The deal, which goes into effect imediately after the signing, is designed to conduct geological study and UCG at the Tien Dung mine in Khoai Chau district, Hung Yen province, 30 km to the northeast of Hanoi.
Vinacomin chairman Doan Van Kien said if the trial use of UCG technology proves to be successful, it will open up a great prospect for the exploitation of the entire Red River coal basin which is estimated to boast reserves of 20-30 billion tonnes, 5-6 times higher than the northeastern Quang Ninh mine.
The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2009. The concerned partners are planning to set up a joint venture to use gas bumped out from the targeted mines to produce electricity and diesel once the project yields positive results.

The only thing that will get this stock price moving is the completion of the Emerald Teresa Tenement, if this falls through this stock is going to suffer, 1.5 billion in cash will be an enormous asset in this market, that said this technology is very attractive to China and others as they will be able to source energy from within their borders rather than relying on imports there by keeping the money within their economies.
Given that-
1. The US market dropped only about 1% on Fri and
2. The G20 Finance Ministers were united on Sat (even if a bit vague)
I think our market won't drop much further (perhaps 1%) if at all.
If this is the case and an announcement by LNC that the long awaited diesel has started to flow, the market will re-rate the stock and the price should move north by $1+ IMHO.
I agree that the completion of the "Teresa tenement" sale will have a positive
effect on the share price and any negative news on this front will see the stock take a dive initially. Don't forget LNC will still own a very valuable asset.
As previously stated I hold LNC shares.
