Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
The Oxford Business Group (OBG) (http://www.oxfordbusinessgroup.com/) stated that voluntary liquidation would not affect its operations in the countries where it is represented. This announcement is part of the procedure to move the company from the British Virgin Islands, which is its current jurisdiction of registration, to the United Kingdom, where it is headquartered.  According to the announcement published in the Dubai-based newspaper Emirates Business, the voluntary liquidation process started on March 18.
The Director of OBG’s Dubai office Rakesh Kunhiraman stated that the company now “is in the process of setting up the business back in the UK, and hence the voluntary liquidation.” Kunhiraman and OBG’s public relations department declined to comment on the impact the moving out of the tax-free British Virgin Islands would have on operational costs and profits. They said that, being a private company, they should not make this information publicly available.
The Director of Dubai office said the group performance was very good in both publishing and consultancy activities, due to advertisements and sponsorships and due to developing reports commissioned by the group’s clients.
The Oxford Business Group publishes annual reports for 30 countries including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah, and provides consultancy services. Three main offices of the group are located in Dubai, UK and Turkey.

Talon Metals Corp. extends its positions in exploration project in Brazil

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Talon Metals Corporation has provided an update on the Sergipe Potash Project in Brazil, which was purchased by the BVI company in May 2009 through the acquisition of the full interest in its Brazilian subsidiary Bancor Mineracao Ltd. Since July 2009, when Talon Metals provided the project update, it has extended its landholding position and identified a large drilling and geophysical data base for it. Upon the extension, the area of the Sergipe Potash Project now comprises ten onshore and two offshore prospects, in which the BVI company holds exploration licenses for 57,501 hectares.

This is a 172% increase over company’s original land position reported in July 2009, which also includes 14 exploration licenses which have been granted last week. Also, Talon Metals has submitted applications for further exploration licences over an area of 23,066 hectares and is conducting negotiations on the acquisition of interest in additional areas within the Sergipe Basin.

Phase I of project’s exploration program includes an initial compilation of drilling and geophysical data in order to identify and model main targets within the Sergipe basin. After more drilling and seismic data were identified and acquired, the number of oil wells now available to Talon within the basin has increased significantly from 86 to 262. The company announced that the processing and interpretation of the extended data base has prolonged the terms of Phase I and delayed the commencement of the proposed drilling program until February 2010.

By words of Mr. Stuart Comline, President and CEO of Talon, company’s current landholding represents approximately 12% of the onshore portion of Sergipe basin, which is currently the only potash producing region in Brazil. The new licenses increase the area held by the BVI company, and the expanded data base will enhance its exploration program.

Talon holds exploration licences for  a total area of 21,117 hectares, and has applications for exploration licences for another 19,150 hectares.

By words of Mr. Stuart Comline, President and CEO of Talon, the company “will complete the review of the existing data in order to guide field based exploration program.” The company expects to receive all the data by the middle of July 2009, and to complete their evaluation by the end of August 2009. This is the end of Phase I of the exploration program, while Phase II is planned to commence in September 2009.
