drilling update: mauritania, page-49

re: drilling update: labeidna exploration well in Is this well part of a plan to exclude areas that had potential but are on the fringes of the core trend taht will now enable teh JV to comfortably relinguish that area while then refocusing on the central are with highest prospectivity?

The map showing the quite large development agreement area around Chinguetti demonstrates that once developments are agreed the JV can put its foot on a large position for 25years. Therefore at this stage I guess they are trying always to balance the need for discoveries with best endeavours to get the optimal long long term acreage position in the region.

In relation to Tevet deeps, is this another attempt to prove up the extended fairway play from Banda to Chinguetti?
