Raytec Metals switches focus to oil and gas exploration and production. Raytec Metals Corp. (TSX-V: RAY) is in need of a name change. Originally focused on potash exploration and more recently stating that it was eyeing up precious metals projects, the junior mining company stunned investors yesterday afternoon when it announced that it had signed a letter of intent with Africa Oil Corp (TSX-V: AOI) for entry into the production sharing contracts in the State of Puntland, Somalia and Kenya. Africa Oil is a member of the Lundin Group. In Puntland, Somalia, Africa Oil will transfer a 25% license interest to Raytec Metals in the Nogal and Dharoor Petroleum Production Sharing Agreements. The Nogal and Dharoor blocks include two hydrocarbon basins and cover an area of 81,000 square kilometres. The Nogal and Dharoor basins are believed to host a petroleum system geologically similar to those in the Republic of Yemen. The remaining 50% interest in the Nogal and Dharoor blocks are held by ASX listed Range Resources, which has been the subject of intense media and shareholder speculation ever since it originally announced that it had been awarded the rights to explore for all mineral and hydrocarbon prospects onshore and offshore Puntland. Puntland is located on the north-eastern tip of Somalia. Africa Oil and Range Resources have been hampered in their attempts to drill in Puntland due to the unpredictable security situation and pirate activity off the coast of Somalia. In Kenya, Africa Oil will transfer a 10% interest in the Block 9 Production Sharing Agreement and a 25% license interest in its other interests in Kenya, which include over 10 million acres in the Anza Basin. Brian Thurston, President of Raytec, commented, "I am pleased to announce this strategic transaction and welcome the opportunity to partner with one of the most respected names in the resource industry. The Lundin Group has been directly involved in the discovery and development of several major oil fields which has resulted in the creation of enormous value for their shareholders. The Lundin Group of Companies currently operates in over thirty different countries worldwide in the oil and gas sector as well as the mining sector. The Group has been highly commended by local communities and governments over the years for their efforts in developing a set of protocols that ensure issues of environmental and cultural concern are addressed as well as economic benefits and employment opportunities." Raytec further announced that it would raise up to C$3 million in a private placement of 10 million units at 30 cents per unit. Each unit will consist of one share and one two year warrant with 50 cent exercise price. Source: proactiveinvestors.c om

Even if they got tanks, who would use them ? Most of the militias dont have basic military training let alone how to drive and use a tank. Keep an eye on the Ethiopians theyt are the ones coming back. As for Sharif= Could not shine Yusuf's boots, neither can Xasan Dahir, Abdiqasin or any clan obsessed faker who could not manage a city.

New flag This is the best so far.

Puntland needs to take care of its own interest. Its high time to work harder at dvelopment and to focus our energies on our state. Mogadishu will get better once Puntland goes its own. Also who needs to secede Puntland should be the republic of Somalia until Mogadishu and its parts can figure out the truth, they are not as impoprtant as they used to be. Vive the enw Somali republic with its capital in Garowe.

^^^Che your development has come along way. I am happy you are no longer ashamed of your family and dont pretend to be from other sub clans. As for Fuad Shangoole, I am not really bothered about him, before he could even come close to the Duke he would have to go through my multitude of body guards and securtity detail.. As for roaming freely, the only place he roamed was in Sweden in Mogadishu he is hiding and getting attacked in villages all over.

^^^Che, who are you to tey to put words in other people's mouths? Who said anything about "last hope". The Sharif has made great mistakes, and this is the reason he failing today. You & Fuad Shangoole dont need to make any mistake the lack of strength is why you are failing.

Che: I have already answered that question I support none they are both dumb. Also this is not a Basketbal game its about life and death. The Sharif has more hope if he used his brain and got rid of some people. Though I am losing any hope for him. The grave digging hi-hop loving Takfirs are not much to get excited about.

Layzie.G: If you was in government I would support you, I know your position and love for the country.

Che supports his uncle Shangoole a man who lives as a refugee with his family in Sweden then went back to kill the "Infadils" in Somalia. A top Shabaab comander though he is an old man, a group that set of suicide bombs in Hargaysa, Bossaso, Mogadishu and Baidoa. A group who are dedicated to fighting against the "Infadils" in Somalia while their children and supporters like Che reside in Holly Ismalic cities such as Bosoton, Malmo and Sheffield.

Good luck to the students, parents, teachers may they succeed in their struggle to educate themselves. Insha Allah Khair

Fufu It seems that the only thing such a tribal, backward and primitive heckler or hooligan and your likes knows best is to cowardly insult the dead pple sxb siyaad bare meeshan cid ka hadleesay So says the man who attacks others while having the pic of a mass murdering clanist individual who caused the destruction of Somalia. Adeer I feel sorry for you.

The man has called for Ethiopian support, no problem if he thinks thats what he needs. The issue is why is he laying about it, why are his supporters laying about it. What kind of Shiekh is he a Shia ?

Che: Adeer how is the Shangoole wet dream about Garowe going. Any progress ? NN: No choice saxib, why choose between dumb and dumber. My support lies with those who have reason, Puntland thus far is reasonable the rest are just making excuses for more blood shed.

^^^No conspiracy Ethiopian troops are in Hiiraan. Its no conspiracy the Minister of security of Sharf Ahmed met them in Somali regions with Ethiopian comanders. Its you adeer acting daft.

^^^Nothing he can do about it since he called them in dear lad. His Minister met the Ethiopians and came back to declare war on Al Shabaab. One thing he can do is tell the truth.

Congradulations to the new graduates and may Allah SWT, give them much success.

^^^At least we agree on the main issue. Before him there was mayhem and after him there is mayhem. Now that we have come to this I think we can have an open discourse and at least to figure out where things stand.

^^^Adeer the tragedy of Mogadishu for the past 19 years has been self inflected and the key players in this tragedy seem to change their shirts every few years, now Yusuf was a scapegoat for these groups, the likes of ABWAN, MEIJI, yourself and others wanted to deceive the world that Mogadishu problem started with the defeat of the collection of clan warlords outside Baidoa at the end of 2006. The truth was much more complicated and Mogadishu blood shedding has not had a respite despite the retirement of the legend. The fact that Yusuf;s base is quite, and developing further illustrates this self evident truth. You have no leg to stand on and I wont offer you a seat.

It [Ethiopia] says it reserves the right to intervene again if necessary. Residents, rebels and aid workers say some Ethiopian troops crossed the border last week. Addis denies this. surce
