VC18 is a top priority which they are genuinely excited about and they have displayed it and strongly hinted about this in their announcements and highlighted it on their maps as such, make no mistake about that.

As I've always said my guess is that they can't get a rig into VC18 yet until the tracks are bulldozed and the drill pads are set up, thats the pattern they have always used previously

So just prior to Christmas, if their timeline is accurate.

VCO7 West will be completed just before Christmas then they'll move over to the regionals.

I now think that word shortly/this month was referring to this VC23B , a speculator, lets hope it comes off ,one of our 3 rigs will be used for that
I would like to see them source another 2 rigs we have the money but I'm told none available at this stage but could change at any time.

I'm expecting to hear news on Mexico at the AGM on the 23rd or just prior to it ,my guess,

We could get an announcement on the start of drilling at Barton and the speculator VC23B as early next week.
