the shell money should provide the solid base, page-6

Points,

Thanks for reposting my post across from the PES thread.

I have my neck right out there, I hope i don't get it chopped off too badly. :))

I would add the that if BG Int bid ~$8.60 as I am thinking, AOE will have an extra $71M (plus the $135M from PES going $2.98 up to $8.60) giving total amount of funds at $206M, pretty handy in anyone books.

AOE should then use these funds to work over their own tenements thoughly and then maybe use those surplus funds to buy out another player like, say an ESG.

Cheers
