10~10.5cents seems to be a hurdle, page-14

paulglen , agree with sp3 here that an oil major would have greater expertise . but if bhp come up with good terms ndo might prefer it as a partner which would be less constraining than a big brother oiler might be ! !

must confess i offloaded some at 9.1c as it seemed to be drifting lower at the time and i had a stop loss .

will wait a while to see what happens next . the usual market pointers have all been turned on their heads in recent months so best to err on the side of money in the hand rather than in the head ! !
