Owns 51% of AIM listed "First African Oil plc" (FAO.L)finance.yahoo.com energem.com firstafricaoil.com Wel I regarded ENM.TO as a nice, safe investment, good for the long haul, less risky ... so I bought in.. Certainly, ENM.TO is the way to invest into FAO.L.. so much cheaper.. the 51% holding of FAO.L is alone worth $3 at least in ENM.TO share price, if not more - essentially you get the rest for free. I like such deals. I still was wrong with my appraisal of the company: ysterday a "strategic transaction" was announced.. and the share price goes thru the roof ! another tidbit: on the BOD of both companies is a member of the ruling family of Dubai: Hasher Maktoum Juma Al Maktoumstockhouse.ca Energem Resources Inc. and FirstAfrica Oil plc - Joint press release - Significant transaction negotiations cautionary announcement 3/30/2005 TSX: ENM AIM: FAO VANCOUVER, BC and LONDON, United Kingdom, Mar 30, 2005 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Energem Resources Inc (TSX:ENM) ("Energem") and its controlled subsidiary FirstAfrica Oil plc (AIM: FAO)("FirstAfrica") (jointly "the Companies") advise that they are jointly engaged in negotiations with an unrelated third party of substance (the "Purchaser") relating to the potential acquisition of a significant interest in the upstream oil assets of the Companies' by the Purchaser and the joint future exploration and development of the assets and pursuit of other up-stream oil assets in Africa.
