It might be a case of the NCM contract being extended through to late Feb, early March 2012.
If that contract is extended for 1 - 2 mths, that would cause delays in the start date of Whicher Range and thus cost CKK every day they're not on site.
I can see the positives here as NCM is paying plenty for a minerals contract and the AWT job was barely break even.
If CKK can pull solid revenue from a mineral job and then move onto an oil & gas hole in March/April I think it's a much better option going forward.
See how market reacts tomorrow !
