Pigmies are the oil thieves...
Pigmie short sellers?
CEO has to issue news release.
The stock traded 9 million shares in Canada today.
I would like to know what those sellers know.....or think they know.
This stock is either a major buy or a market sell depending on what is actually going on with the pipeline.
Score: Pygmies 1.....MAUXF 0
Looks like they finally did it.
Killed the golden goose.
"Not sure if MAUXF pipeline spur spills into the Shell main line"
It does not. AGIP pipeline goes to the Brass River terminal. Nothing to do with the Shell pipeline.

Shells closes Nigerian pipeline...pulling out.
Not sure if MAUXF pipeline spur spills into the Shell main line.......but it may.

Terror? We dont care about no stinkin terror!
Loaded up for the second pipeline.
I've planned holidays in Mali but I would never go to Nigeria for leisure. Too many problems with Boko Haram. My guess: This slowly drifts down until the divi vultures come in, assuming there is no dividend cut. I would not go long.
Terror in Kenya can not help.
MAUXF already taking hit form instability in region.
This latest news wont help.
I'm not sure. A lot of rumors on other boards. Corruption, pipeline, acquisition via dilution, wade getting a divorce?...somebody knows but not retail guys like us. I added a few more at 1.129....pure gamble, willing to hold long term
Wonder why the free fall? Something is up (and causing this to go down).

1.20 support needs to hold or we're off to 1.00. Market selling like MMT is a scam.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Sep 11, 2013) - Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) ("Mart" or the "Company") and its co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege field) and SunTrust Oil Company Limited are providing the following updates on Umusadege field production for August 2013 and the drilling of the UMU-11 well.
August 2013 Production Update
Umusadege field production during August 2013 averaged 9,235 bopd. Umusadege field downtime during August 2013 was approximately 7.5 days due to shutdowns required for, operations connected to preparation and drilling of the UMU-11 well, testing of the new central processing facility, and effects of pipeline space constraints put in place by Agip for several days at the end of the month. The average field production based on producing days was 12,085 bopd in August 2013.
Total net crude oil deliveries into the export pipeline from the Umusadege field for August 2013 were approximately 293,600 bbls before pipeline losses. Pipeline and export facility losses for May 2013, June 2013 and for July 2013 have now been reported by Agip. The pipeline and export facility losses for each month were as follows: May 2013 - 82,104 bbls (25%), June 2013 - 91,510 bbls (30%), and July 2013 - 90,788 bbls (26%). Pipeline and export facility losses have averaged 19% for the first seven months of 2013. Mart and its co-venturers have requested additional data regarding the increase in the rate of pipeline and export facility losses and will provide additional information as it becomes available. August 2013 pipeline and export facility losses have not yet been reported by Agip.
UMU-11 Well Update
The UMU-11 well commenced drilling operations on August 14, 2013 and is currently at a depth of 7,464 feet in the 12 1/4-inch hole section. The 16-inch hole section was successfully cemented with 13 3/8 casing to a depth of 5,000 feet. The 12 1/4-inch section will be drilled to a total measured depth of approximately 8,700 feet, followed by running a 9 5/8-inch casing.
The main objectives for the UMU-11 well are to appraise and produce proven oil reservoirs encountered but not completed in the UMU-9 and UMU-10 wells. These sands (XIIb, XIIc, XVIa, and XVIb) were previously logged and sampled. The UMU-11 objective is to test four of these oil-bearing sands, and if successful, complete these sands for production.
Absolutely!!
I'm up more than 100% just from the dividends.

Mart Resources, Inc.: New Central Production Facility Commissioned and Operational at Umusadege
- New Central Production Facility ("CPF") commissioned on July 8, 2013 at the Umusadege field and fully operational. - New CPF has a design capacity of 35,000 barrels per day, which is expected to be sufficient to handle the full field capacity anticipated from the existing reserves, as well as the potential for production from prospective resources in the Umusadege farmout area. The CPF is expandable to handle future production increases as needed.
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jul 11, 2013) - Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) ("Mart" or the "Company") and its co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege field) and SunTrust Oil Company Limited are providing the following update on the Central Production Facility at the Umusadege field.
Umusadege Central Production Facility
The new CPF was commissioned on July 8, 2013 at the Umusadege field and all production is currently being processed by the new facility. The CPF handles all petroleum products from the Umusadege field and utilizes gas produced from the field for power generation. The new CPF has a design capacity of 35,000 barrels per day, which is expected to be sufficient to handle the full field capacity anticipated from the existing reserves, as well as the potential for production from prospective resources in the Umusadege farmout area. The CPF is expandable to handle future production increases as needed.
The CPF replaces the temporary early production facilities at the field that were expanded to a 20,000 barrels per day capacity in 2010. The CPF not only increases processing capacity, but also replaces rental storage equipment with permanent equipment that is expected to decrease operating costs per barrel.
Wade Cherwayko, CEO of Mart stated: "Completion and commissioning of the new CPF is a significant milestone for the development of the Umusadege field. It increases processing capacity and is expected to result in a higher netback per barrel."
To clarify my recent post on taking a position, I sold last week and took the quick .06/share gain, and treated that as my dividend. Shortly after I took the position TD Ameritrade sent me messages to notify me of the new Canadian tax rules which went into effect on January 1, 2013, and indicated I would have to file certain forms signed by all holders on the account to address certain tax treaty issues and withholding requirements, in order to avoid the mandatory 25% withholding on all dividends, etc. I still believe this is a solid investment, but did not want to deal with the hassle of the paperwork, and the filing of a Canadian tax return, etc. Even if all the paperwork was filed they were still indicating they would withhold 10+% of all dividends.
This situation should be watched....
If it were not for the political situation MAUXF may well be over 2 again soon.

Check out .XDC which shows the value of the Canadian$ relative to the U.S.$. The value of the Canadian$ has been falling and is now worth 95.13 cents. When the 2 currencies are at par, $1.00 = $1.00 (May 8th), then MMT.v and Mauxf are priced equally.
MMT.V close 1.56 X .9513 = 1.4840
Your brokerage account should value MAUXF at approximately 1.4840 before the open on Monday.
Another example -
AOI.V close 7.05 x .9513 = 6.7066
AOIFF close 6.70
The currency exchange doesn't close until 5:30PM. The true value of MAUXF is posted in your account after that. Fidelity posts the value at 3:00AM the next morning.
MMT.V......Canadian dollars..
The stock trades in canadian dollars.
From time to time they divurge a bit for a few pennies and then correct.
On Friday MAUXF closed on the bid and MMT.V closed on the ask............hence the difference.....plus they may have been off a few pennies in addition to that and the market closed before it could correct.
I guess I am behind the times and was not aware there were 2 different traded securities. Should I have invested in MMT rather than MAUXF? I obviously was able to get into the MAUXF for a lower price. Anything I should know about the difference, other than that MMT appears to trade on the Toronto exchange?
It does seem strange that the spread is so large right now if they are essentially shares in the same company.
The spread between mmt and mauxf will close
Mauxf will be higher next week
I am surprised there has not been more action in these shares since the announcement of the dividend earlier this week. Am I missing something? Had felt with production coming back up on line after the repairs, and the announcement on the dividend, there would be more buying interest toward returning to the trading levels of earlier this year.
Agree. I took a position at 1.4498 this am.
Great buying op....few know pipeline & divi news yet.
This is gonna pop back nicely going into 7/10

Mart Resources, Inc.: Pipeline Maintenance and Repairs Completed and Production from Umusadege Field Resumes
- Umusadege field production and deliveries into the export pipeline resumed on April 17, 2013. - Maintenance and repairs on the export pipeline completed by the pipeline operator and pipeline operator returning to normal operations.
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Apr 18, 2013) - Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) ("Mart" or the "Company") and its co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege field) and SunTrust Oil Company Limited are providing the following update on Umusadege field production operations.
Umusadege Production Resumes
Production from the Umusadege field resumed on April 17, 2013 following notice given by Nigerian Agip Oil Company, the pipeline operator, that maintenance and repairs to the export pipeline have been completed. Production and deliveries into the export pipeline from the Umusadege field are expected to be increased to normal levels over the next several days.

Energy Summary for April 5, 2013
2013-04-05 16:39 ET - Market Summary
by Stockwatch Business Reporter
New York Merc crude for May delivery lost 56 cents to $92.70 (all figures in this para U.S.). Brent for May fell $2.22 to $104.12. West Texas Intermediate lost 46 cents to $93.29, while Western Canadian Select traded at a discount of $13.64 to WTI ($79.65), up from a discount of $13.98. The TSX energy index added 1.78 points to close at 242.68.
Africa-focused stocks were some of the busiest today. Mart Resources Inc. (MMT), which is developing the Umusadege oil field in the Niger Delta, added 11 cents to $1.57 on 3.7 million shares. Production from Umusadege has been shut down since mid-February because Nigeria AGIP, the operator of the field's sole export pipeline, has been performing maintenance. This has been happening a lot lately. Over the last six months, Mart has produced about one-third of what it expected. AGIP's latest estimate for a restart date -- it had previously said the third week of March, then the first week of April -- is April 13 to 15, according to a conference call today withOando Energy Resources Inc. (OER: $1.41). Oando relies on the AGIP pipeline for production from its neighbouring Ebendo field. Like Mart, it is frustrated with the pipeline's frequent shutdowns (not to mention the heavy theft), so both companies are working on a second pipeline that will connect to Royal Dutch Shell's export facilities. Here too there are delays. Completion was originally expected in June, but that was soon bumped to September, and now there are rumours it will not be ready until late in the fourth quarter. Oando confirmed fourth quarter but did not give specifics.
Pipeline #2: Opposition causing weakness.
I can not find the link but its out there somewhere.
The pipeline update from last week did not explain the delay, only that 90% of the pipe was on hand to be installed.
Imo, the Boko Haram situation is causing alarm with all western interests.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boko_Haram
Great time to load up. Pipeline being down appears as a temporary set back but in reality , the oil has already been discovered and isn't running away. 2+2 usually equals 4.
MAUXF: Update. Pipeline shut down + Financing.
Some good and some bad news.
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/mart-resources-inc-arrangement-us-100-million-secured-term-loan-facility-umusadege-operational-tsx-venture-mmt-1771944.htm
Bot a few more today around 1.95. Could still see a larger pullback but MMT.v/MAUXF is undervalued even at $2, IMO.
I HAMMERED the close today!!!
LOL.
Had to buy that dip.
Like a free divi off the recent high.
New HIGH again. Keep the climb
Still so undervalued.
Nice and conservative highs for now.
Some day soon it will run up majorly as Investors become aware of Mart resources.
Great management
Great dividend
Great balance sheet
Still undervalued
Great investment
.... Vrrm vrrm
This has been an amazing ride. Does anybody have a summary of dividend dates? ..not just pay-out but at what dates you have to own to be eligible for next cycle? I'm not 100% clear on how that works and I'm wanting to move some more money here as soon as I can.
Wow! U got in that low! What a ride!
U have 10x Ur money on a financially secure stock. Great insight , due diligence or luck! Go MART

Mart's primary focus is bringing into production its Nigerian marginal proven undeveloped fields: the Umusadege Field and the Qua-Ibo Field. Mart has established long relationship in West Africa and in particular Nigeria where Mart has a strong presence with an office in Lagos and an operational base in Port Harcourt. On each of the fields, Mart has entered into Financing and Technical Assistance agreements with the farm-out operators. To achieve its aim in a very tight drilling market, Mart has acquired two onshore drilling rigs that will initially be used exclusively on their various Nigerian properties. All Mart's assets and prospects are analysed and reviewed by Chapman Petroleum Engineering in Calgary and Horizon Energy Partners in The Hague.
Operations Update
Mart and its partners, Midwestern Oil & Gas Company PLC (Operator) and Suntrust Oil
Company Nigeria Limited, are pleased to announce that the majority of the rental
production equipment in use at the Umusadege oil field has been replaced with
permanent facilities. The main equipment replaced includes production separation
facilities, manifold, and interconnecting piping. The installation of the permanent facilities
will result in a net reduction of direct field operating costs of approximately $2.60/barrel
based upon average daily production rates for January 2010.
Average daily gross production for January 2010 was 3,935 barrels of oil per day
(“bopd”) from the UMU-1 and UMU-5 wells. Of the total production for this period, the
UMU-1 well (commingled XIIa and XIIb zones) contributed an average of 1,710 bopd
and UMU-5 well contributed an average of 2,225 bopd.
With stable production and strong oil prices over the past several months, Mart has been
able to significantly reduce trade payables and continue to service its bank debt in a
current and timely manner. Due to continuing strong cash flows, Mart and its partners
are now in a position to continue with development activities on the Umusadege field in
the very near future.
Mart and its partners are currently finalizing development plans to increase production
and reserves from the Umusadege field in 2010. Planning is underway for development
drilling that is anticipated to commence in early Q2/10. It is also anticipated that the two
existing producing wells will be re-completed in Q2/10 and Q3/10.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Dec. 9, 2010) - Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT - News; "Mart" or the "Company") and its co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege field) and Suntrust Oil Company Limited are pleased to report encouraging initial test results from the first and second of four planned production tests on the UMU-6 well located in the Umusadege field.
The first test on the UMU-6 well was conducted on the XVII oil zone, which is the deepest zone to be tested at 8,618 feet with 10 feet of oil pay. During the test, the well flowed at stabilized rates up to 3,102 barrels per day of 42.5 API gravity oil through 3 1/2 inch tubing on a 26/64 inch choke at a flowing tubing pressure of 575 PSI. Water production was less than 0.2% and the gas/oil ratio was approximately 51 standard cubic feet per barrel.
The second test was conducted on the XVI (b), a 20 foot oil zone, which flowed at stabilized rates up to 3,433 barrels per day of 40 API gravity oil through 3 1/2 inch tubing on a 22/64 inch choke at a flowing tubing pressure of 610 PSI. Water production averaged 0.3% and the gas/oil ratio was approximately 60 standard cubic feet per barrel.
The two additional zones to be tested are the XIII (b) with 23 feet of oil pay and the XIII (a) with 18 feet of oil pay. Further updates will be provided on these zones following completion of testing.
All of the UMU-6 well's primary objectives, including the XIII, XIV, XV and XVI sands were hydrocarbon bearing with preliminary results indicating gross oil pay of 40 feet, 24 feet, 6 feet and 18 feet from these sands respectively. A deeper XVII sand was also encountered with initial results indicating 8 feet of gross oil pay. The XIII, XIV, XV, XVI and XVII sands have not previously been assigned reserves in the Company's most recent NI 51-101 reserve report. The Company plans to update its reserve report once the current testing program of the four zones in the UMU-6 well has been completed.
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Feb. 14, 2011) - Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) ("Mart" or the "Company") and its co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege field) and Suntrust Oil Ltd., provide the following production and drilling update at the Umusadege field.
We are pleased to announce that production at the Umusadege Field has reached an all-time high of 8,533 barrels oil per day ("bopd") and that drilling activities are progressing at the UMU-7 well.
UMUSADEGE PRODUCTION UPDATE
The Umusadege field is currently producing at 8,533 bopd from three wells: the UMU-1 well at 2,005 bopd from the XIIa and XIIb sands; the UMU-5 well at 2,477 bopd from the IX sand; and the UMU-6 well at 2,164 bopd from the XIIIa sand and 1,887 bopd from the XVII sand. Completion of repairs on pumps at third party owned and operated export facilities has resulted in this increased production level compared to levels announced on January 19, 2011.
Midwestern, Suntrust and Mart are negotiating with the third party pipeline owners and the crude oil export company to further increase the export allocation for the Umusadege field to accommodate additional production from existing and future wells. Upon completion of these negotiations, it is anticipated that the aggregate gross Umusadege field production could increase to between 9,000 and 10,000 bopd from the current three wells on production.
The UMU-6 well was completed in December 2010 with a dual 3 ½ inch and 2 ? inch tubing string configuration. The XVII, XVI and XIIIb sands were completed in the 3 ½ inch tubing string and the XIIIa sand was completed in the 2 ? inch tubing string. As a result of the completion technology used, the four zones that have been completed can be opened and closed at any time. Although four zones have been completed and tested it is not technically feasible to produce the UMU-6 well from all four zones simultaneously due mainly to capacity limitations in the tubing and initial pressure differential between the sands. In accordance with good oil field practices and well test results, production is occurring from two zones at the present time. Production will be monitored over the next few months to determine the optimal combination of sands to be produced from the UMU-6 well.
In addition, to ensure there is adequate pipeline capacity to meet anticipated full Umusadege field development requirements, Midwestern, Suntrust and Mart are currently evaluating new pipeline and export options to provide increased future production capacity and to provide another independent export route. Upgrading of the permanent central production facility located at the Umusadege field to process up to 30,000 bopd is currently ongoing.
UMU-7 WELL
The UMU-7 well has reached its objective depth in the 16-inch upper hole section of 3,685 feet and 13 ? inch casing is currently being run and cemented. Once this casing is in place, a 12 ¼ inch hole will be drilled to an estimated total depth of approximately 8,800 feet and 9 ? inch casing will be run. It is anticipated the UMU-7 well will then be tested, completed and placed on production.
As previously announced, it is planned that the UMU-7 well will be completed as a dual tubing string configuration allowing for the potential of multiple zones to be produced from the same well bore. The UMU-7 well's primary objectives are the previously identified VIII sand and the new X11c, XIV and XV sands that were discovered by the UMU-6 well in December 2010. The UMU-7 well is being drilled from the same three-slot drilling pad as the recently drilled and completed UMU-6 well. The third slot on the pad will be used to drill the UMU-8 well.
