Che -Guevara Posted May 22, 2008 Here is one of their quarterly reports from 2006 web page And they are listed on TSX web page under symbol AOI. The TSX Venture Exchange used to be called Canadian Venture Exchange. It was a merger between Vancouver Stock Exchange and Alberta Stock Exchange. It basically listed that companies that don't have enough assests, and hence he couldn't be listed on Toronto Stock Exchange. Both TSX venture group and Toronto Stock Exchange are now owned by TSX Group Inc. TSX venture lists new emerging companies which includes alot of mineral and oil exploration companies. The Africa Oil Company happens to be one of those companies. It looks like they would need a third party probably a venture capitalist to bankroll their operations in Puntland.

General Duke Posted May 22, 2008 ^^^A small company from Texas named Hunt did the same thing in 80s in Yemen. Many people thought it was crazy. They can take more risks and if they do find it they will have the multinationals coming in as happened in Yemen. Anyhow lets hope things work out we need the cash injection and one must note this is a long term project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baashi Posted May 22, 2008 Political stability is prerequisite for mature industry such as O&G to take root and succeed. Clearly that is not the case. Logistics, local suppliers, and nuts and bolts of the trade are all lacking. Folks are not positioned to take advantage of the exploration effort. The other thing is folks involved in finalizing the deal are not up to the task. I know some of the personalities involved. Allah help them. In any event, I wish them luck.

General Duke Posted May 22, 2008 Bashi -its important that these types of steps are taken. Our gulf brothere were even in worse shape when the Americans & Europeans came and changed their fortunes. Waiting for a political deal with the clowns of Asmara wont change a thing. Anyhow great things ahve been achieved by average joes, thus good luck to them, this is just a small step nothing major. Che- Its true but my interest lies elsewhere than purchasing shares of these companies. I just want to go back and live in Somalia for good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
