Gulf starts at Sheikh Adi-2 25/05/2012
Iraq-focused oil explorer Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP) has begun drilling at the Sheikh Adi-2 well in the Sheikh Adi block.
Croatia leisure play Cubus Lux has raised £1.2 million at 40p from chairman Gerhard Huber and chief operating officer Christian Kaiser.
Austrian businessman Huber, who already had a 13.34 per cent stake, and Kaiser have contributed equally to the placing, which is aimed at keeping the show on the road while AIM-quoted Cubus copes with financing delays with its key £92 million Olive Island resort project. Company spokesmen say one of the Austrian banks negotiating funding has been forced by the credit crunch to curtail its lending, while the other remains willing in principle but has warned that due diligence on the project will, in today’s nervous climate, take many more months than originally envisaged.
Shares in London-based Cubus have plunged from 205p at the beginning of last year to 33.5p now. That values the company at £4.9 million.
