Ann: Alameda-2 Appraisal Well Drilling to Commence Next Week, page-91

What I’m hoping is that A2 will be successful and a strong commercial producer that then causes the Cuban government to direct Sherritt to drill further shallow wells as a national priority. Just as MAY were delayed for the extra gas wells, I think once they realise the huge financial difference substantial oil production will make to Cuba and the living standards of its people then we will have a much easier and faster path forward. We certainly don’t want a repeat of the false starts and delays of the past year. First step; announcement tomorrow that conductor is set and we are drilling ahead.
