Ann: Preparations underway for start of Zapato-1 exploration well, page-455

A very substantial update is owed to investors of Melbana Energy.

A price catalyst timeline and considerable update was provided to investors on March 13. This webinar and update resulted in many investors making decisions to consolidate investments or increase investments in Melbana. This report was don eonly six week ago together with a webinar. Any ASX CEO knows you cannot put out a report like that and substantially deviate only 6 weeks later without another big and consolidated update to the market that underlines the reasons to remain confident. It should not be up to posters on Hot Copper to try and sure up confidence.

We have been dripfed news which is perfectly acceptable and good to have had while things have moved/changed.

However, another substantial report and update are now required and due.

I would expect that THIS MUST BE why AP has physically visited his team in Cuba. To enable a far more detailed and extensive update to the market and shareholders.
