The world's most boring day until.......

Redrock Resources issued an after hours RNS! Here they updated everyone on their drilling for gold in the Nyanza project in Kenya! They have found gold at about 3g/t in most holes but one hole was over 30g/t!!! So it will be interesting to see how the market reacts tomorrow morning!
Victoria Oil and GasTriStar Resources and Berkeley Mineral Resources have all been very boring today and hardly moved at all and there were not many shares traded either. There is an outside chance that we may get an RNS from TriStar Resources tomorrow but I am not holding my breath! For the moment I am quite pleased with the results from Red Rock!

Berkeley Mineral Resources

Berkeley Mineral Resources issued another typical BMR RNS this morning to tell the world that they are delaying the date for the 6p warrants by six months. Yes, you've guessed it, the sp went down! I feel sorry for people with high average share prices because they must wonder when they are ever going to get into a profit situation! I thought about selling some of my holding yesterday for a small profit but thought that the sp might rise today with the expiry of the warrants. If I had sold, I could have bought more shares today and increased my holding. As it is I may have to wait another 6 months for something to happen but now I have 36% of my pf in BMR!

I have just spoken to MA re selling of slimes. He told me that we are in advanced negotiations for selling the slimes once they can be kilned to improve the % of metal. The problem was the cost of transport from Kabwe to Dar es Salaam, which appears to be going up on a weekly basis. The slimes would be sold to the Chinese but unless the % of metal was increased it would be financially unattractive. So we have to wait and see how the negotiations proceed!

Weekly Roundup!!

I have been away for a few days and wondered what I would come back to? Well, 5 RNS but no major moves!!
Berkeley Mineral Resources produced another of their celebrated RNS saying that they would be extending the time for Due Diligence on Chingola tailings. This had the effect of making the sp go down after some good rises last week!
There were 2 RNS from Edenville Energy, 1 being a holdings RNS and good to see Henderson Global increasing their holdings yet again. The other was a mildly positive update on the drilling season in Tanzania. The overall effect was to move the sp up a little.
The other was an agreement between Redrock and Ariel partners for the Migori gold project. Redrock seem to have lots of convoluted deals but what would be nice is if they actually produced something concrete!
I have dabbled with the idea of getting back into Central Rand Gold but at the moment, the situation in South Africa does not look good for investors. Also, I have thought about Caspian Holdings again but again, the situation in Spain is a little difficult. Not easy this investing business.
Sold my shares in Edenville today for a small profit and bought some more Victoria Oil and Gas! I bought these cheaper than I first bought over 2 years ago!! It would be nice to think that at some point this year they hit double figures!
Also the 6p warrants on Berkeley Mineral Resources expire tomorrow night so it will be interesting top see what happens by close of business tomorrow!

Frontera Resources FRR

I sold out of Frontera Resources at a loss today as they appear to be sinking fast! When I bought them they appeared to be a good buy with a refinancing package and gas production underway BUT They have got worse and worse.
With the money from FRR I bought more BMR shares and if they reach my target sell price of 8.95p then I will recoup my losses on FRR! BMR have been up nearly 14% today and the likelihood is that they will rise more in the near future with more RNS being issued.
Tristar Resources have also been doing well today and we just need a RNS to send them upwards above 1p!
I seem to be changing my trading philosophy of late and rather than having a share in every sector I am putting more money into fewer sectors. If it works the rewards are greater but so are the risks! Time will tell but it is part of my learning about share trading.

Berkeley Mineral Resources PLC

Great RNS this morning from Berkeley Mineral Resources PLC which values the tailings at Kabwe at $1.4Billion!! So definitely a good RNS and yet the sp hardly moved!! It is likely that there may be some more RNS in due course but the level of trading is still too small to trigger any holdings RNS, very strange!
Tristar Resources sp started moving this morning and was up to 0.9p and it can't be too long before an RNS arrives. On no news it is up 5% and it is possible that it could be over the 1p mark very soon. Makes my decision to sell a few and buy some EDL shares on Friday look a little silly!

Weekly Roundup

Ok, I am still waiting for Tristar Resources and Berkeley Mineral Resources to do something. I got a bit bored on Friday and sold some TSTR shares for a small profit and then bought some Edenville Energy shares! I may live to regret that but it is frustrating waiting. Considering I lost money on EDL recently, I was pleased to buy back at a lower price than I sold so it is possible to recoup some of my losses.
So the view is that this week TSTR will issue a JORC! If it does then I will have made a mistake because it is likely that the sp will be around 1.5p! However, if EDL goes up on Monday I will sell and buy back into TSTR!
BMR continues to promise lots and deliver nothing! Unless they get a grip and start selling something I don't see any likelihood of the sp rising.
There was a little bit of movement on Redrock and Frontera Resources this week but a long way to go before I am in profit.
Victoria Oil and Gas is still meandering on and if I can sell any of my shares at profit then I am going to put the money into VOG and GNC for the summer!
ALR have their AGM soon but I amm not expecting anything to happen with them for a while. Also there seems to be more concern over the Euro and American jobs so all in all, things are not looking ever so bright!

Red Rock Resources RRR

Red Rock Resources issued another RNS today and this time it was GOOD! It was the results of drilling in the Migori project in Kenya and showed some holes with more than 1g/t of gold! It had a beneficial effect on the sp to start with so let's hope it continues and with an update from Columbia due, it could be time for RRR to start climbing. The only fly in the ointment is the market situation over the Euro and USA!
Tristar Resources is still building slowly in anticipation of the JORC on Goynuk. However, it is very frustrating waiting for it to arrive!

Red Rock Resources (RRR)

Red Rock Resources issued an RNS this morning. This seems to me to be a way of raising cash for ongoing Red Rock developments. They will get about $3.8M plus shares in Anglo Pacific Group and this should ease the cash flow for a while.
The markets are down today after the Easter holidays and the poor American job figures. Still no news on Tristar Resources and the company is not noted for keeping its shareholders informed!!
The view is that there may be some news on Berkeley Mineral Resources this week but I think that it is more likely to be next week.
With the way things are going it could be a slow old week this week!!
This year I am going to try to remain more liquid during the summer. The old adage "Sell in May and stay away" is something I wished I had followed last year. So this year I would like to sell what is possible to sell and stay liquid to see what opportunities present themselves! May be stupid but may pay benefits so worth a try!

Berkeley Mineral Resources PLC BMR

At last, we have a meaningful RNS from Berkeley Mineral Resources PLC!!!!
BMR how owns the Kabwe site and has the Large Scale Mining Licence! In addition it is the only the only lead and zinc mine in Zambia it is in a favourable position! Now, I wonder, what will be the effect on the sp!
Also, today, Victoria Oil and Gas (VOG) issued an RNS saying that they had issued some shares as payment for staff and suppliers. They are doing that to progress their position in Cameroon and as I have said before, hopefully the gas pipeline will be complete by end of June!

Monday 2 April 2012

SP holding firm today but there is a strong possibility that they will issue an RNS tomorrow or Wednesday. There is every likelihood that they have the JORC info from Behre Dolbear and are preparing the RNS for release!
Berkeley Mineral Resources are ticking over and blue today and it is possible that they may issue an RNS by the 20th April. Then again they may not!!!
