That is a significant holding on spec stock, but considering we all know that Warro 4 well will be drilled shortly fully funded by Alcoa, then its money well spent
psychic,
Looks like its you and I mate.
Any feel for when we may get some kind of update?
two announcements today which IMHO are at odds with each other.
First this morning:
Transerv Energy Ltd is pleased to announce the Warro Joint Venture has received formal funding approval from Alcoa of Australia for up to $22million of expenditure to undertake the drilling and testing of the Warro 4 well and a 3D seismic program over the Warro Project area. The seismic work is expected to commence in February and be followed immediately by the drilling of Warro 4 which is expected to start in April, 2011. Preliminary works for both projects are well advanced.
Pursuant to the announcement on 24 December 2010, detailing the merger of Transerv with Latent Petroleum Pty Ltd, the combined entity will hold a 35% interest in the Warro Gas Project and is free carried for the first $100m of expenditure on the project as funded by Alcoa. Alcoa is earning a 65% interest in Warro by funding a $100m staged evaluation and construction programme that includes drilling wells, constructing production infrastructure, and conducting a seismic survey.
Secondly after the market closes:
TSV requests a trading halt pending an announcement regarding a capital raising
OK so my take interpretation is that Alcoa is putting in $100m before TSV need to contribute anything.
And remember there is currently a rights entitlement offered to existing shareholders which will also add to the coffers.
So on one view there are sufficient funds available to progress the Warro project.
In relation to the Amazon project I believe that is fully funded
So why the need for a capital raising now?
Can anyone offer any plausible explanation for these 2 announcements? Thanks
