DVM lodged its ASX listing application (Appendix 1A) as part of requotation after becoming an oil and gas explorer. It lists 31,160,107 shares and 3,750,000 $0.20 options. Administrative form; no new commercial information in the readable text.
Star Finch-1 report no. 10: pressure testing completed, casing shoe drilled out and integrity test passed. Now drilling 8½-inch hole at 130m towards the reservoir.
Star Finch-1 report no. 9: pressure testing continues at 118m. The operator says drilling is held until testing passes, crews hold well-control certification and are inducted in safety, as the structure is gas-prospective at shallow depth.
11 July 2008capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
DVM closed its prospectus fully subscribed, raising $750,000 before costs and gaining about 150 new shareholders. It believes it now meets the holder requirement and will seek ASX requotation. Resolves the 280-holder shortfall; the well is expected to reach its target within a week.
Star Finch-1 report no. 3: the 12¼-inch hole reached 118m, the casing point, and crews are preparing to run casing. No hydrocarbons expected at this depth.
DVM says brokers advise enough applications under its 1 July 2008 prospectus will come in to seek re-listing on ASX. The closing date is extended to 15 July 2008. Continues the re-quotation effort after the share suspension.
Operator Empire says Star Finch-1 (EP 460) spudded at 0600 on 8 July 2008, drilling at 27m with DCA Rig 7. Planned total depth is 450m, targeting the Birdrong Sandstone at 390m. DVM holds 20%. This starts the long-awaited first well.
DVM confirms Star Finch 1 began drilling on 8 July 2008, at 27m depth. It plans to close its prospectus before the well drills out of the casing and is working towards ASX re-quotation. Repeats the operator's spud news.
A replacement prospectus dated 1 July 2008 replaces the 3 June one, and applications made under the old one will not be accepted and will be returned. The offer terms shown are unchanged: up to 3.75m shares at $0.20 with a free option, raising up to $750,000.
What it means for a shareholder
3.8m new shares at A$0.200 to raise about A$750,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
DVM extended the closing date of its prospectus offer by 31 days to 21 July 2008. Holding statements are now expected 28 July and share trading reinstatement 4 August, both indicative. This delays the return to ASX trading.
Operator Empire says the camp and wellsite for Star Finch-1 (DVM 20%) are ready and most equipment is on site. Drilling will be announced once personnel are inducted. No spud yet, and no new result.

DVM's own release repeats the drilling plan: Star Finch-1 (DVM 20%) in June 2008, then Lake MacLeod-1 (DVM 10%) in July/August, drilled back to back with DCA Rig 7. Targets are unproven: about 50 Bcf of gas or 25 million barrels of oil at Star Finch, and 30 million barrels at Lake MacLeod.
Operator Empire says Western Australian government and landholder approvals are in place. Star Finch-1 (DVM 20%) is due in June 2008, then Lake MacLeod-1 (DVM 10%) in July, with an optional Star Finch-2 appraisal well if there is a discovery. This firms up the timing that was pushed back in April.
Company Secretary Simon Headon resigned and Martin Stein, a chartered accountant who is company secretary of several other listed resource companies, was appointed with immediate effect. An administrative change.
