Next week's investor forum is back at the Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel and promises to be a fascinating evening.

Presenting on Thursday, March 20 will be President Energy (LON:PPC), West African Minerals (LON:WAFM), Stellar Diamonds (LON:STEL) and Rose Petroleum (LON:ROSE).

Please ensure you don't miss out by securing your place HERE..

Peter Levine’s track record speaks for itself having scored a spectacular success with Russia-focused Imperial Energy. 

Floated for less than US$4mln, it was sold in 2008 to the Indian firm ONGC for US$2.3bn. He will tell us why he’s now ploughed around US$40mln of his own money into President Energy ,which is about to embark on a three well programme in Paraguay that could utterly transform the company as well as giving a huge boost to the local economy.  

“If we succeed, they will name a road after us. If not, I may end up under it,” he jokes

Meanwhile, the 93% spike in Stellar Diamonds’ (LON:STEL) share price in the year to date has alerted investors to its presence.

However, its current market value almost certainly fails to recognise the explorer’s huge potential, according to chief executive Karl Smithson.

The plan for the current year is simple: produce a definitive feasibility study for the Tongo Project in Sierra Leone, while compiling a maiden resource for Baoule in Guinea.

In doing this, it hopes to boost its resource base to 7.5mlm carats, which at current diamond prices adds up to a contained value of just over US$1bn. 

If it hits those milestones then expect a further re-rating of the stock, although you could see a decent bump up if the company can resolve its long-running wrangle over the ownership of the Kono Project in Sierra Leone.

Smithson will join us to explain the opportunities opening up for Stellar. 

West African Minerals aims to use its Binga project as a springboard into exploiting the rapidly emerging iron ore belt in Cameroon.

And investor demand, as shown by two placings last month that raised over £6mln to help fund the development of the property, showed the excitement surrounding the opportunity.

Binga has much to commend it, including a maiden resource of 30.5mln tonnes at 29.7% iron and proximity (60km) to a developing deepwater port.

There is also the potential to increase the Binga resource further - something which a staged work programme this year will assess further.

The firm hopes that if it could be the first into production with Binga, it could get a 'jump" on other operators in the Cameroon-Congo belt - fast becoming an iron ore hotspot.

Here to tell us more about why this could be West African's year is Anton Mauve, Managing Director.

Finally, Rose Petroleum’s January acquisition of oil shale acreage in Germany rubberstamped the small cap resources firm’s transition into the oil business – while a separate JV deal this month shows the copper business is still not forgotten.

Shares in the (now) oil junior are up by 50% in the year to date as investors look forward to work getting underway on the German shale venture through seismic that will hopefully outline the potential of the 1.2mln acre footprint.

The Rose management team, with the support of experienced American oil man John Blair, intends to find more opportunities in Europe, North Africa and America.

Indeed, the company also plans to apply for assets in Britain’s upcoming onshore licensing round, and as such could present investors with another way to get in on the UK shale play.

Matt Idiens, chief executive, will be joining us to explain why shale has such potential.

**Please join us at 5:45pm to get a seat and to allow for a prompt 6pm start. Each company has approximately 30 minutes to give a short presentation and for Q&A. Followed by the 'Champagne Raffle' were 6 lucky guests will win a bottle each **.
