Marauder Resources {MES TSX]

[digger]

Anyone interested in Marauder Resources. It is a Canadian energy company on the Toronto Stock exchange and has a permit between Tag oil {also Canadian] on the north and New Zealand Energy Corp [Also Canadian] on the south. These three premits largely make up what we refer to as the East Coast Basin on the east of the North Island.

I see a number of poster on the NZO thread are commenting on Tag and NZ energy but to my mind leaving out the best leverage investment in that area.
The important thing here is that Tag and NZE are doing the drilling but MES is just holding the permit. If either Tag or NZE show up a good find MES location will be priceless. So I say if you want exposure to the East Coast Basin MES is the leverage way to go.

Refer to post 13358 by mr Tommy on NZO thread for map locations. Also other posters there have good comments about East Coast Basin on the nZO thread but I feel as NZO is not currently in action there the ECB needs its own thread.
I now have shares in MES.
To read about MES just google and punch in MES TSX Note leave a space between MES and TSX.

I would invest just on the name of the company. Marauder! I bet they don't worry about resource consents...

[Cuzzie]

I too have shares in Marauder and back up everything you have just said digger. MES is playing the smart game by waiting. TAG have just set up office in the Bay and NZEC will be drilling about the same time as TAG. As soon as TAG or NZEC release good some results, MES(who are in between these two permits) share price of 7 Canadian cents will sky rocket. That will just be the start. You know we are talking about a new oil revolution that is about to unfold on the East Coast. The Government has given it the thumps up, licences have been sold, the Brent oil that comes out of this region shows signs of being of the very highest quality, all the financing by these three Canadian Oil Juniors is in place, major partners have been finalised, their stock price is way undervalued, drilling starts in two to three months and the greenies can not stop it from happening.
digger, I have talked a bit about this here too/ http://www.sharetrader.co.nz/showthread.php?9440-A-recycled-newbie

[digger]

I had a very short talk with Andrew knight of NZO about the ECB and was NZO planning to look into it or get involved. Firstly this talk was very short as it was at the Auckland AGM this year and there was every one and his dog wanting to talk with him so comments were pretty much quick and on the hop. It appears that NZO have looked at ECB but see lots of problems. I was left thinking the arguments for not getting in were not strong and need looking at again. To me it just seems somewhat strange that just a few years ago NZO is rushing overseas as NZO was called by DS not big enough while the Canadian companies are coming to NZ as it has hugh potential and by world standards is way under explored. From memory the ECB has about 50 wells put in it while the same area in Canada has 10;s of thousands.

For the last four years the Brent price has averaged more than 100 and only a major recession will get in under that. This is a game changer as oil is now stable at +100 for explores to calculate the sort of risk that will be required on the ECB. Note nearly all the 50 wells drilled in the ECB were done as if the cost of crude would be much less than today. We live in a new age with a new oil price so I certainly feel the problems of the ECB needs weighting up against the rewards. Someone will make it big in this area and if the Kiwis companies are not involved they will have only themselves to hold accountable when others make the finds.
Marauder is the leverage play.

You get a whole lot of confidence when you look at the CEO of MES 'Robert Shields' experience & past performance to digger. His key personnel team are no mugs either. These are grey haired old men with outstanding records and oil in there veins. Check the MES website for details. (http://www.maraudernrg.ca/personnel.html)

TAG and NZEC have breathed new life into the Taranaki fields too. They have proved(TAG more so) that there is just as much action on-shore as off-shore.


NZO has missed a grand opportunity and I feel NZ investors are going the same way. Why do you think a bunch of Canadian Oil Corps and plenty of North American investors are going crazy about NZ right now? I wonder.

[digger]

Well Cuzzie looks like just you and me can see the potential. Way back in 1961 I saw the potential of International Business Machines [IBM] but got talked out of it as I was only 20 then. The argument was that if it was as good as I made out it was others far smarter than me would be buying it up. Since then IBM have done what only IBM can do. Several thousand time by now.So could it really be that only two NZ investers are buying MES
Will continue to Buy MES as funds are available as it ranks top of my buy list.

[Cuzzie]

I can understand why you got talked out of IMB under those circumstances digger, still that would be no comfort. MES is not going to be as big as IBM, but feel they have every potential to go a long way up from CAD$0.07, a hell of a long way. That dot could & should move two digits to the right, from 0.07 and some. We might only be two strong(so far) on ShareTrader, but that is not the case in North America.

Maybe a little teaser will get more ShareTraders sniffing around. This is a report from Bob Moriarty the President of 321gold/
http://www.321energy.com/editorials/moriarty/moriarty090313.html . I encourage everyone to do some research on these guys. I'm not talking days, I'm talking months as there is so much out there about these three corps, the East Coast play & as drilling wont start until the new year there is a wee bit of time.

The other corp I have invested in is NZEC as they are so under valued it is not even funny. They have now got a partnership with L&M Energy Limited. Have a look at their track record and you should get as excited as I was. You have some time, but hey I'd get a kick out of saying I told you so, up to you. My biggest problem right now is the hand-brake(wife) from buying more and more.

[digger]

Yes I have known for some time [two years] about Bob Moriarty.
Have you read this one.

hope it comes through

[Cuzzie]

Yeah, I've got MES, TAG and NZEC saved with Google and I get updates on them as they are posted. Good read and it keeps it real. I Google all three occasionally and re-read that article a couple of days ago too. Plenty of other links to add here, but as they are out there, those who want to find them will.

You know there are some negatives too and this is not all a bed of roses. The Greenies can now shout out all the miss-leading info they want, in my mind they are just helping potential investors invest.
Fracking is not popular, but when you do the research on fracking and find out the truth, it's just more Greenie backed B.S. Yep there have been earthquakes in the past, but it's not the fracking that has done that, its injecting the contaminated water back into the void where the oil came from. That's lifted or floated the top fault off the bottom fault and it's moved causing an earthquake. Leave it alone and it's actually more secure than ever before as the faults are locked or settled into each other more so than without the oil & gas separating the two. So there you go Greenies, frack to stop earthquakes, I'm sure they will love that one. I can see the Tee-Shirts right now - Frack On to stop Earthquakes, or Frack to save Christchurch.
You know one of the hottest industry to invest in right now in North America is fracking clean up companies. Regardless, waste water is not injected back into the voids and I can guarantee you that there is no way any NZ Govt. would let that happen in an earthquake prone zone over here.
The only negative that concerns me is the depth of the bed rock. It is a long way down, but like always I like to take the positive out of the negative and answer that question - Why have they been drilling on the East Coast for over a hundred years and not proceeded with a commercial operation? Well they did not have the techno - until now. It really is that easy. Once the Bakken oil field became commercialised with new technology , the East Coast of the North Island was always going to be in the limelight.

One more thing, if the octopus oil drilling technology is used over here, that will be a massive game changer. That's something to keep an eye on.

[digger]

Looks like you have already read the stuff I have been reading the last year or so. What I think is missed by most investors is your line where you point out that the technology that commercialised the Bakken was a game changer. That of coarse was preceded by oil getting up to approx. $100 which allowed the investment to be made.
The next 6 months are going to be very interesting as all my oilers are drilling.

I agree with that 6 month period and don't expect MES to climb any higher for many months yet. It all depends on Tag. I see both TAG & NZEC share price is dropping again. More than one reason for that. Keep an eye on them as there will be a great opportunity to get in on this at a good low starting point.

[Cuzzie]

What do you guys use to buy stocks on foreign exchanges?I set up an account with ASB Securities. As they don't offer TSX on their website you need to manually place every TSX order over the phone. Before you do that though, check out what McBeanburger has just said above. I'll be looking into that too.

I have followed up many of your posts about MES & others from the Stockhouse forum and as always, you are right on the ball. Those links below are the tools you need to keep an eye on where MES might be heading. What they don't show is why they should be a strong buy. That's up to the individual to make up their own mind after looking into this stock. McBeanburger, do us a favor & don't tell Dick about this place.

[McBeanburger]

hi cuzzie,

Thanks

Indeed the mes story is young, we need TAG to get their finger out and provide that analysis on the EC hole.

The less Dick the better mate!

[McBeanburger]

I posted this on stockhouse (wasn't sure people read that site but appears they do :) )

some key points Fridays MD&A: (this can be found for all CAD companies on Sedar.com)

on TAG drill hole:

Preliminary gas ratio analysis interprets a predominantly wet gas/oil signature. TAG recovered 14 separate side wall cores from the interval and they are conducting petro physical evaluations to determine the most suitable completion and production testing method for the well.

wet gas/oil signature? not sure exactly what that means.

continue to be looking at other NZ plays:
Marauder believes New Zealand is an attractive country to invest in and is currently evaluating other oil and gas opportunities in the region.

JV disucssions still on going. Assume JV partner is waiting for TAG's analysis. Is TAG withholding for that very reason?


Marauder is in discussions with a financial group that is considering joint-venturing with Marauder in its New Zealand project on a 50/50 basis and, subject to data review, may provide initial capex requirements in excess of $50 million to commence initial evaluation of its permit.

Yeah I read that on Stockhouse yesterday. Great to see MES heating up a bit, that been said I also think the way they are sitting back and playing the smart game gives me a lot of confidence in this stock. At .06 CAD now and the future a little brighter, I might just have to squeeze that trigger some more. MES, TAG and NZEC are all sitting in the box seat, all we need is the drilling to commence. The surprise for me is the on-going potential back over in Taranaki for TAG & NZEC.

[McBeanburger]

hey Cuzzie,

it goes back a bit we invested in the same company called axis energy - mes was involved then also. so when mes was bussy in somolia (puntland) and then nz he asked me from inside info. I have in the past talked to Sheilds but only when puntland is a going concern. since nz he doesn't answer the phone (at when I call) ;)

I told him no and he got the hump. he follows me around all the boards posting after me. down grading my post stars to 1. lol. on the investershub board he made himself a board manager so he could post what he likes. its all a little bit sad imo.

there you have it.

McBeanburger, I just read NZEC 3rd Quarter results, wow that is exciting - 6 new wells. .30 for how long? Here's the link to their report NZEC 3rd Quarter Results (http://www.newzealandenergy.com/News-and-Events/News-Releases/News-Releases-Details/2013/New-Zealand-Energy-Announces-Third-Quarter-Results-and-Operational-Update/default.aspx) for those who don't know what I'm talking about. Digest that and get excited. Is TAG going to be left behind NZEC or will TAG pull up their socks? Either way MES is sitting pretty IMO.

[McBeanburger]

Hi cuzzie,

I've heard some less then complementary things about nzec management - no idea if true but share price is on the low side. maybe for a reason?

[Cuzzie]

Yeah low is right, I would say though an overload of profiteering by those in the know keeping it low until certain test results are released. 3rd quarter results were out the other day and all looks very promising: read 3rd quarter results here (http://www.newzealandenergy.com/News-and-Events/News-Releases/News-Releases-Details/2013/New-Zealand-Energy-Announces-Third-Quarter-Results-and-Operational-Update/default.aspx) and now this news here: NZEC Awarded East Coast Permit (http://www.newzealandenergy.com/News-and-Events/News-Releases/News-Releases-Details/2013/New-Zealand-Energy-Awarded-East-Cape-Permit/default.aspx) Not looking too bad for NZ one must say.

I've started this post: MES - NZEC - TAG (http://www.sharetrader.co.nz/showthread.php?9507-East-Coast-Oil-TAG-Oil-NZEC-MES) to cover MES, NZEC & TAG, Maybe we should get this moved off the NZX thread and over to the US & overseas thread too, just a thought.
