There’s really no reason spudding can’t commence this quarter. This has clearly been in the works for some time — it's not something thrown together overnight. The groundwork appears to have been laid, and with the drilling contract now signed, it’s likely the team is either already on-site or will be very soon.For those who’ve said we need an Oil & Gas partner — well, now we have one. We’re working with a drilling company that’s come on board as a genuine partner, and this looks to be part of a well-thought-out strategy that benefits all shareholders.Long-term holders know the company hasn’t previously had the resources or capital to fully develop its in-ground assets. Now, that’s changed. We have the assets and a capable extraction partner committed to getting them into production.Personally, I think the 45% share they receive is more than fair — they’re doing the heavy lifting and helping move us toward production. And because they benefit directly from success, they have every incentive to prioritise our projects going forward.It’s taken time to get here, but soon we could see oil at surface, with two functioning wells and two gas wells producing. Let that sink in — potentially four producing wells within 12 months. That’s a huge milestone for this company.If we can just rise above the noise and stop the negative commentary that keeps dragging our name down, maybe then we’ll start to see some positive movement in the share price.
