Re: Up 8%. Slovenian newspaper article Still struggling with the 1p hurdle.Not a chartist but the overall trend is still down. And there’s absolutely nothing to suggest any reason for that to change!TP

Re: Up 8%. Slovenian newspaper article Yes. The Slovenian people need to make a choice. Actually I'll re-phrase that. The people at the Minsistry of Environment need to get a move on or come out and state they have on their own decided to stop the gas field from being developed. Ascent have not received a permit for anything for ages, so the suspicion is the permits are being deliberately stopped. Either that or they are in a total mess and have no clue what they are doing. Either way it's causing massive delays.As far as the population of Slovenia go
o they want to produce a large percentage of their own gas and get taxes and monies back from Ascents partner Geoenergo rather than pay Gazprom and be totally dependant from Gazprom?Do they want the people already employed by Ascent in Slovenia to keep their jobs or not?Do they want more jobs created and more investment in Slovenia or not?The only argument against this seems to be the hydraulic stimulation that has been done a hundred times already on the same gas field in the past, which seems ridiculous.I don't want to be rude but frankly the choice for the good of the Country as a whole is obvious so if they choose the other option they must be a bit backward or something. Having said that the choice is being made at the Ministry of Environment by some who work there isn't it.I know one thing if Ascent pull out very few if any UK Plc's will ever invest in Slovenia.The sp it up today, 2nd day in a row. Hope for more gains tomorrow.All IMHO.

Re: The 5.9% sp rise Friday MUST be The IPPC permit has been “about to drop” for at least a year now. Who knows when or if it will appear. The other two well permits could similarly be lost in the mists of time!So, just the one producing well. Limping along.Expressions of interest? Maybe, but at what price, @ColHutch?TP

The 5.9% sp rise Friday MUST be something to do with the "DELO" news article in the Slovenian daily news paper, must it not? Friday suddenly we get the 2.5m buys coming in and then the sp actually goes up (yes, I am surprised!).My best guess is the article in the Slovenian daily news paper was in the paper Friday and the interview/article has convinced some investors with some pretty serious amounts of cash to invest. At the end of the day Colin says there are several intested parties does he not? Then he at least implies the IPPC permit is about to drop. The permit on it's own could spike the sp to 1.5p IMHO. After all it really does make the field far more valuable.Monday will be interesting!All IMHO.

Did't work. So try copying the following [link] go to google translate and paste it in to the box top left. Then click on translate.Seems Colin has done an interview with a Slovenian national newspaper called "DELO".Amongst other many other things he says:-1. When asked who has expressed an interest he says: "I can not say names. It is a wide range of companies, with companies from all over the world talking to us. Some companies are private, listed on the London Stock Exchange, some at other stock exchanges, and private equity funds are also interested in investing in Ascent.2. He also say if the licenses don't materialise from the Government then the Slovenian operation will be shut down. Pretty obvious really as you can't do anything without permits. Ascent are still waiting for a permit they first applied for about four years ago, although that one (the IPPC permit to build the CO2 scrubbing plant) is in fact not desperately needed at the moment as other ways of getting the gas to market were found a few years back. The permits to re-work the next two wells are the ones that are important at the moment for obvious reasons.- Plenty more in the interview. Please look.All IMHO.

Re: Fund raise Who's shouting? I only come here for the peace and quiet.If your idea of a business plan is to sit around for a year with your thumb up your backside, hoping your last producing well doesn't conk out, then you're in the right share. Personally I prefer something a little more proactive.

Re: Couple more hefty trades. Volume up Good strategy pays dividends...Regrettably AST doesn’t, nor is it likely to in the near or medium term.Despite today’s move the sp still languishes well below 1pJV pie in the sky IMHOTP
