Condor Gold is developing the La India gold mine in Nicaragua within a large, relatively underexplored, licence area with a history of previous gold production dating from the 1930s to the mid-1980s. Initial expectations are for the production of around 100,000oz gold per year from open-pit mining of the main La India vein system and nearby high-grade satellite mineralisation. Production at this level would place Condor Gold among the five largest gold producers on London’s AIM Market. The first phase of open-pit mining is expected to evolve to underground operations later in the mine’s life and significant additional exploration targets offer scope for the discovery of completely intact vertical epithermal mineralised systems on the down-thrown side of faults ling to the south of the current proposed mining area at La India.

Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) reported robust interim results in the context of the H1 2020 backdrop; solid production and the company’s fundamentally low cost base meant that CAML remained profitable despite the sharp pullback in commodity prices during the period which led to a 17% YoY decline in revenue to US$70.8m. Consequently, EBITDA was down 25% YoY to US$42.5m despite a decline in unit costs of 6% YoY at Kounrad and 9% YoY at Sasa to US$0.48/lb and US$0.43/lb respectively which cushioned the impact of the weaker the top line. With no significant one offs in the period, EPS of US$0.10/sh. was 33% lower YoY.

EQTEC announced (last Friday afternoon) an extension of the exclusivity period of the Billingham MOU until 22 November 2020. The extension of the MOU exclusivity period is with the aim of finishing the preparation of a legally binding option agreement with Scot Bros. which, if agreed, will grant EQTEC and its partners the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the entire issued share capital of Billingham EFW Limited (the project SPV) from Scott Bros. subject to an agreement on consideration and other terms.

Three day CMD to detail how BP will redeploy hydrocarbons’ capital into renewables. The latter are expected to grow by 12% CAGR by 2030, which surely is more exciting than oil. Returns do not compare though, but BP intends to make good use of its trading division to bridge part of the gap. Lowering the dividend took care of the rest. Overall, BP diversifies its risks early, which might prove right if oil stays under $50.

Trinity has announced a strong set of interim results during a highly volatile period, with production increasing by 9% year-on-year to 3,282bopd (H1/19 3,007bopd). Operating break-even's post hedging in H1/20 reduced to US$22.3/bbl, a 15% year-on-year reduction and a 65% reduction since 2014. Similarly, a relentless drive to improve efficiencies and reduce costs has seen G&A and opex fall by 67% and 65% respectively since 2014. Despite the dramatic fall in oil prices, Trinity's strong production performance combined with its receipt of VAT receivables via a VAT Bond sale and the drawdown of a small working capital facility facilitated cash balances increasing by 43% to US$19.7m from YE2019. Trinity is well positioned to grow both organically and inorganically, with Trinity signing MoU's and submitting EOI's (in consortium with Cairn Energy Plc) to pursue new opportunities of scale. We set our price target a 31p/share, a 248% premium to the current share price and reiterate our BUY recommendation.

Saudi Arabia's warning to OPEC+ cheaters and short-sellers alike helped oil prices stage their biggest weekly rally since June, despite a grim start to the week as industry heavyweights painted a troubling demand picture for the petroleum complex. Futures in New York rose 10% this week following a show of determination by Saudi Arabia, the most influential nation in the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, to defend the market on Thursday. The Saudis hinted they are prepared for new production cuts, and lambasted OPEC+ members that have cheated on production quotas. Prices briefly fell as much as 1.6% on Friday following an announcement from Libyan military commander Khalifa Haftar that he will allow crude production and exports to resume. But while Haftar reached the agreement with the country's deputy premier, it was unclear whether the deal that excluded the National Oil Co would actually restart exports. Haftar controls most of eastern Libya and has halted operations and shipments from his territory as part of a campaign against the internationally recognised Tripoli government. The OPEC member is pumping just 80,000 barrels a day, but produced 1.2 million a day last year. Oil reversed last week's losses, which pushed West Texas Intermediate futures toward $37 a barrel amid a slew of downbeat demand forecasts from the International Energy Agency to Trafigura Group and BP Plc. Helping support prices this week, US government data showed crude and gasoline stockpiles declining. American oil stockpiles are now at their lowest since April. But crude may not be out of the woods just yet, with distillate supplies at record highs and refining margins for the fuel deteriorating in the US and Europe. Meanwhile, rising coronavirus infections in Europe raise the spectre of a return to tighter restrictions that have crippled consumption. Prices West Texas Intermediate for October delivery rose 14 cents to settle at $41.11 a barrel. Brent for November settlement lost 15 cents to end the session at $43.15 a barrel. The contract rose 8.3% this week, its largest weekly gain since June.

Falcon has announced the resumption of activities at Kyalla 117 with the fracture stimulation of the well, and extended production test to follow. Initial results from the production test are expected in Q4/20, with final results expected by the end of Q1/21. Following the farm-down of a 7.5% participating interest to JV partner Origin Energy in April, Falcon is fully funded through the upcoming drilling campaign. We believe success at the Kyalla well will result in the JV further evaluating the potential of the Kyalla liquids rich gas play, thereby fast-tracking the potential commercialisation and monetisation of Falcon's 22.5% working interest. We reiterate our 39p price target (a 406% premium to the current share price) and our BUY recommendation.

Hargreaves’ FY20 results are very solid indeed. As previously reported, the only noticeable impact from COVID was in the slippage of Blindwells’ land sales, which were due to conclude during the lockdown period. Site activity has resumed and sales remain on track to conclude in the current year. A final dividend of 4.5p has been declared and the outlook statement is measured but confident. We reintroduce forecasts today, effectively reinstating our pre-COVID expectations. Hargreaves is well positioned to deliver a period of significant, renewed growth with the prospect of a double digit dividend yield from FY22 as HRMS profits are distributed.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact globally in many areas. While primarily a health issue, it has had wide-ranging implications for stock markets, which have now rallied after the plunge in share prices in mid-March when the full severity of the emerging pandemic became more widely appreciated. Nonetheless, the FTSE 100 Index remains almost 20% off its late February 2020 figure.
