didn't think you would!

given the exchange its now on i have no idea what is happening to Marauder.

did they keep their NZ lease? is bob now operating out of his garage?

we'll probably never know.

[bigone]

NOTHING !!!

[McBeanburger]

and now did you hear something back?

[bigone]

I had sent the company an e-mail about 3 or 4 weeks ago with no response so far.

[McBeanburger]

be surprised if he (shields) responds, not in character.

company is alive (so i'm told) but i don't have any way of proofing it.

we'll see.

[bigone]

As I also do.

[Renee]

Thanks. FWIW, I am not invested in MESNF but I do appreciate and respect those who simply want honest answers from a company.

[bigone]

I will keep you in the loop, if they respond.

[Renee]

I am interested in their response to you, Bigone. Good work.

[bigone]

Thanks for your response Renee.
I sent an e-mail to the company a few hours ago.

[Renee]

From checking the historical trades MESNF was essentially an illiquid stock trading about one out of 5 days. Then after the CDN Cease Trade Order the stock hasn't traded.

Have you contacted the company to see if they're still operating?

[bigone]

Renee, Any update on Marauder Resources? Do they still exist?

shame. dead brain from drinking gut rot whiskey.

best you keep it to yourself thanks.

[richard smith]

Dead! Whiskey for you all!

Golden rooster. I'm pretty sure you more about TAG than I, but I base my opinion on their latest update, dated June 30th, 2014.

Best,

Hey, 'red. The problem here with this one is that they're totally at the mercy of the Stumble-Bumble-Fumble Gang over at TAG, which I hope you know is nothing but "Airball Alex" Guidi's latest piece of Moose Pasture Malarkey, relocated to the South Pacific.

[redinvest]

Hi Golden Rooster, good to see you over here. It's been a long wait to MESNF to get their legs in the East Coast Basin. I am assuming that all investors have seen Tag's newest PR in this region.

If not, here's the link.

Maybe and finally this is the first spark in Mes's Lightening Strike in share price.

I have followed Mes and Bobby Shields for years and have spoken to him a few times. He's very open to investors' queries and very willing to release intel that is not a release of insider information.

From all my research on NZ, the concensus with the gov is that fracing is ok if it is done properly. I would assume that Shields will have his eyes and ears on Tag drilling the Waitangi Valley in the East Coast Basin, and he will probably duplicate that effort in Mes's Whangai Formation.

According to MES's Management Discussion and Analysis dated 3/312/13, the whangai is naturally fractured and widespread throughout the East Coast basin, reaching thicknesses of 600 meters. Three of their most prominent oil seeps in the basin have been geochemically to generation in the Whangai Formation. The oil is light sweet crude with gravities up to 50 degree API.

The amount of oil in place in the East Coast is massive and a third party report on same place 14 billion barrels or more. I think the oil in place in this basin may dwarf the Bakken.

Best,

Red

[McBeanburger]

yup - I have to agree, there's no urgency that I can see.

[bigone]

That is sorry. Hope that this thing gets going soon.

[MrGoldenRooster]

And they always will. TAG has always been about taking as much time as possible to do as little as possible and still maintain the appearance of viability.

[bigone]

They certainly seem to be taking their time.

[MrGoldenRooster]

Marauder is totally at the mercy of the Bungle Boyz over at TAG. If they ever find their a** with a road map, there might be hope.

[bigone]

Here we are in mid-July. Where is the good news?

[McBeanburger]

Jungle,

MES has moved on from Somalia to New Zealand, though that said they still have blocks offered by puntland.

given that no one want to drill there suggest it more trouble then its worth.

puntland needs time to resolve its problems and i'm not sure mes will still have those blocks when the dust settles.

[Jungle Rudy]

Somalia - where is the oil?

The players seems to be moving into the middle of the country after dry holes in Puntland - Soma-Eurasian Drilling, Kilimanjaro (KIMJF) and rumours of Shell returning (RDS):

[MrGoldenRooster]

Ready to run, once TAG announces what they've got down there in New Zealand. Momentarily. Time to "Buy 'em!"

[richard smith]

Lol lol lol lol lol. Let's keep pushing that date out more and more, eh! Sludge doesn't bring shareholder value. Massive. Whiskey is flowing. None for you!

[richard smith]

Where's the sludge update? Massive.i am drinking whiskey and it's flowing hard!

[richard smith]

I tried to warn everyone! Sludge is sludge.POS is being very kind! But the pump pump pump it up boyz will say differently. Massive. Whiskey flows.

[mrdecember123]

thanks- i'm only selling some squeeky small 2000 shares to see what's going on with trading here--------but i have for quite some time tried to sell those 2000- and buys are always 1 milifraction higher than mine---------and i have skipped around on one day just trying to match the darn millifraction. I am keeping my other shares here for the dark horse this might be...but if i want to sell some piddly 2000 shares under the ask, i should have a buyer take them- and not just act like my ask isn't there. .0601 ffs? Oh well, just asking-

[McBeanburger]

yes - if you bought mesnf then you need to see mesnf. np

as i have always bought mes and not mesnf I'm not sure how its done.

currently there are 26k at 6 cents candaian - i would assume you are in that mix.

[mrdecember123]

i bought my mesnf shares through scottrade---------i can't sell them through scottrade the same way i bought them? ??

[McBeanburger]

you're trading through mesnf? or mes?

there are also chi-x and the alpha-a exchanges.

mesnf trades through the tsx only. not to mention the exchange rate as well.

[mrdecember123]

today makes the 5th different day my lower ask was blown by for a higher one with trading and buying----and i notice with 29000 shares supposedly traded thus far today, there is no scottrade number for low price and high price of the day either. I had a sell order in for .06 yet supposedly .061 gets a hit for 29000 shares? These third place decimals also look fishy floating around recently for bid and ask and for close of day. Are these all ghost trades" Is this a scam trade stock or something? Getting out of this pos seems impossible.------Anyone have some thoughts about any of this?

[McBeanburger]

maybe i have maybe i haven't

i believe on the 10 December NZ government release the concession winners.

mes is long overdue some news...

[richard smith]

Massive! I will believe it when I read it! Sludge is still sludge!

[mrdecember123]

i just heard from a penny stock picking friend this little gem might have some news next week- anyone else heard anything?

[douginil]

Massive What?

[richard smith]

Massive!

[richard smith]

Keep waiting! Going to 2 cents! Seems sludge isn't to valuable. Those NZ folks are finding that out the hard way. Whiskey flowing and none for you BB!

[McBeanburger]

soon? how soon as I can't wait!

[richard smith]

More comedy! I can't wait and it's soon I will be proven right! Stock price tells the whole story here! Massive!

[McBeanburger]

Redinvest re-posted this on NZ thread but worth remembering what TAG said in July on their blog: three key points

http://blog.tagoil.com/

1) “We can't give up too much detail at this stage as there is a critical land sale occurring in New Zealand later this year." key info is being withheld.

2) "We anticipated and encountered extreme overpressures. but probably most important is that there seems to be permeability associated with the zone. "

3) "the seal looks to be working as no shows were seen above the zone." regional seal seems to be place.

all in all 3 reasons to be cheerful. now bring on the news.

-----------------------------

Drew on the East Coast Basin…

“We can't give up too much detail at this stage as there is a critical land sale occurring in New Zealand later this year, bid deadline is September 26, and there are few blocks up for bid offsetting us within the East Coast Basin. But I can tell you, we are extremely proud of the operational job we did in the drilling of our first deep test on the East Coast.

Ngapaeruru-1 was drilled without a hitch in about three weeks. We anticipated and encountered extreme overpressures. We encountered swelling mud stones and a few other nasty drilling obstacles that have been a nemesis of past drillers in this tricky basin. But again, our combination of Kiwi experience and North American technology allowed us to drill our well easily, collect all the critical data we intended to, and not have a single environmental health or safety issue.

The small minority of anti-fossil fuel opposition we had before we spudded the well barely had time to organize a protest before we were gone. The vast majority of our neighbors there, all of the regulatory bodies like local and regional councils couldn't believe what a professional operation it turned out to be. Drilling is new to these people. I think they were expecting wooden derricks and a spindle top blowout or something.

The results of this first well were encouraging, to say the least. In order to keep that over pressuring in check, we took no chances and used extremely heavy mud weights while drilling. Despite that, we went from over 1,000 meters of zero oil and gas shows through the over burden to instantaneous strong shows once we entered our target zone. Those shows continued unabated for 155 meters before they instantly disappeared to absolutely no shows again until TD, and that tells us a couple of things.

Number one, the seal looks to be working as no shows were seen above the zone. The zone itself definitely has hydrocarbons in it, but of course that was expected. We knew these source rocks were working from the quality and quantity of oil and gas seeps in this basin, but probably most important is that there seems to be permeability associated with the zone. That's the only way we would see the shows we did even given the high mud weights we were using.

We collected a lot of core, we shot Schlumberger's logs I've never even heard of before focusing on unconventional parameters and we collected live samples of liberated gas from the drilling mud itself. All of this data is now in various labs, mainly in New Zealand and Australia, where we're working with specialists from around the globe to interpret and plan the next step to be taken with the play, and in particular this wellbore.

What I can tell you is, we would definitely be completing this well, probably not for at least three to four months until we get all the data back from the labs and it's all interpreted, but Ngapaeruru-1 was not a red light, it was not an orange light, it is definitely a green light from what we have seen so far.“

[bigone]

We got the 19 K.

[McBeanburger]

no reason to chase this, so you're the smart money imo

[bigone]

We are amoung the nibblers.
Thanks for your response.

[McBeanburger]

waiting on TAG to produce some drill analysis. should have been a month ago imo so early next month is my guess.

meanwhile, buyers are happy to wait and nibble at around 7 cents.

[bigone]

We picked up a few more shares this morning.
Should we be expecting any news from the company any time soon?
