Worth a punt? unable to resist a smallish go at 2.65p.hardly made anything last time, so fingers crossed this time. not a share to over-commit to.Bell & co have been patently out of their depth for many months now. Luckily for them Olisol value the London listing, which means they keep their jobs for a few months yet (though not their reputations).

Kul-Bas Exploration and Production Contract 2-year ExtensionTethys is pleased to announce that the Ministry of the Republic of Kazakhstan ("MOE" has agreed to extend the Appraisal Period for the Contract by a further two years until November 11, 2017.The Kul-Bas contract area (which currently covers an area of 7,632 km2 (1.9 million acres)) surrounds the Akkulka contract area which contains the Company's producing oil and gas fields. This extension gives Tethys further time to explore and appraise this attractive area which has several prospects and leads and with a proved commercial oil and gas system in the Akkulka block. Within this contract area is the Klymene exploration prospect. This extension is subject to the approval of an appraisal extension project and work programme and subsequent registration of a suitable addition to the Contract.Interim FacilityA US$15 million convertible facility ("Interim Facility" was entered into with Olisol on November 19, 2015. The Company submitted draw down notices for the entire loan amount on November 21, 2015 but to date has only received US$5,138,918.

As stated in the press release of December 8th, 2015 certain supporting information has been provided by Olisol and further
5% down on 14,000 shares traded this just goes to show how corrupt and rigged the markets really are, a recent placing at 8.5p and yet TPL trading more than 50% below that price.I really hope that the bucket shops lose all their clients and that we go back to the old fashioned paper shares, as it is clearly the bucket shops and the leverage associated with spread betting that is causing these share price behaviours.It is one of the many companies on AIM that typically goes down on good news, the average pi doesn't stand a chance in heel of ever making money by going long on a stock via a spread bet.May I suggest you stop giving your money to these bucket shops and IMHO and from what I hear, IG Index are one of the worst, as they are also market makers, yes that's right, they make the prices of the markets that you place your trades with. All I ever hear about them is as soon as people open a position with them, they are in a minus with that position the very next day and then the stock just keeps going down and down and down, positive news does not even move the stocks that the pi are in, they only move the stocks that the pi are not involved in. Sad but true.Ban the bucket shops like the US did, perhaps a petition sent to parliament may be the first step....3D (will wait 1 year before selling TPL if I have to)
Bucket Shop Manipulation this stock should be trading a premium to the recent placing price, not 40% below it. At least this way private investors can see the manipulation of how these companies, especially the ones that are also market makers rig and fix the prices so the average pi will never make a profit, it is disgraceful and all the bucket shops should be banned.Once the news that the licence is safe, it will need to be re rated, this is a oil and gas explorer and producer and is receiving revenue from both, Oilisol did not chuch money at this willy nilly, they know whay they did it, as did Pope.I will hold until spring next year when these will be in double digits and the bucket shops will be able to do nowt about it.3D
TSX up 23.53% at the close.
17c is 8p Right? 8p it is then.
6.59am tues is when the latest extension period runs out. Bell and his chums seem clueless in dealmakingso I suppose YET ANOTHER extension is the betting choice. Let's hope OLISOL push them over the line..Bell as always will just want to look after his job/salary/pension,

Also... This is the lowest the share price has been in 5 years...With another $25 million finance coming in shortly this is a very undervalued company, but DYOR etcetc blah blah blah ..of course...
Looking foward,looking good.. Olisol have put a very large amount of cash on the table for dilution of course but thats confidence on a massive scale..With debt wiped out and finance coming in from olisol the future looks very Rosy.Couple that with the brutal closures and cost cutting exercises and I feel very confident as Tethys is only valued at £16 million at current levels and has strong revenue streams.-- Current November production averages 4,266 BOE/day, comprising 1,771 bopd of oil and 2,495 boepd gas (c. 423.9 Mcm/d or 14.97 MMcf/d), the gas rates in part affected by higher Winter season delivery pressures in the Bukhara-Urals pipeline.Thats not all the story of course its a long road ahead but a good one..[link]
Re: Marketwire Announce.... I like para 5---------- ---------- ---------- ---Yes Gunners, it is very comforting to know that we now have a major shareholder with a vested 20% interest on the board, an acquaintance of mine knows William quite well and make no bones about the fact this ship will be kept straight as long as he has anything to do with it. I guess my wish of Bell and Hammond getting the boot has kind of surfaced, as there will be no more people falling asleep at the wheel allowed.Great news.3D
