above and beyond the call of duty ..., page-11

I've met Tony three times now and I'll go out on a limb and say it isnt in his nature to deliberately mislead ... he will eventually tell you what he's done rather than prattle on about what he's going to do.

The map of EPG's holdings in France is pretty compelling and I feel its quite plausible when EPG management says if anyone wants to get into CBM/CMM in France they pretty much now have to involve EPG. They cant exactly trumpet that strong but incomplete position from church towers can they?

Maybe I am too forgiving and naively patient, but I can totally see the need for careful diplomacy in securing the various strategic holdings they have ... looking back Lons le Saunier took the best part of two yrs to nail ... Heritage (to gain 100% of all assets) took a good six months and Gasonor looks like taking something like at least six months ... behind the scenes Lorraine pilot producion progam is progressing (drilling was supposedly continuing during December and no news means only that management for whatever reason feels no advantage in releasing information).

I do feel a lot swings on Gasonor and so it is reasonable that many (including me) feel on edge ... I do hope you're right Av ... Siriusco, having done the hard yards at least keep a close eye on the sp for a quick re entry .... better the devil you know and understand lol.
