RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Predictions for end of this week? $2?If you have the right combo, it is possible to hit it out of the park with oil and gas. I like the risk/reward profile of this one. That is why I bought shares. Of course, I realize that it is possible to lose it all as well. Such is the nature of oil and gas.
To give you an idea, I bought a number of shares in a small O&G company that was exploring offshore in the Nile River Delta, called Centurion Energy International. That stock was comparible to this one - high impact prospect in an unexplored/under-explored area in Africa. Bought it in April 2003 for $0.92 and sold it to the take-over offer during January 2007 for $12.00.
Forgot about that stock until I went through some old statements during the Covid-19 layoff. Made more on that than one stock than what I did last year working 9-5 in a decent job. There are many other examples like that.

Murphy, Marathon, Apache, Chesapeake, Niko, Crestwood, Noble, Vermillion, etc... Basically any oil company. They virtually all start out as penny stocks, acquire some land and find a producing field and the price shoots up.
Recon is a bit different in that it has the basin and is trying to prove the basin. Once it does that then it will look for oil production, likely with partners. This could create many penny companies into billions. Also, the majors are already in Namibia so each of them will want a piece of it too (much like the eagleford is divided between several companies).
This is why you see such wildly different potential prices. If the sproule's likley scenario turn out to be the case (500 million barrels), the NAV estimate is somewhere between $50-60 https://reconafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/ReconAfrica-Report.pdf
If Jarvie's estimates turn out to be the case, Recon will be sigifigantly higher (7-20+Billion barrels - more than some majors).
Good luck with your research. As investors, we won't get any meaningful news until Dec/Jan. The price should slowly settle to the risk/reward balance. What that is? who knows? What would you spend for a stock that has a really good chance of going to $50-60 and a good chance of maybe going to several hundred?
