Investment Thesis
RFE is showing steady inc. to development pace and efficiency at its Big River Mississippi Lime asset. RFE is in a strong financial and functional position to ramp-up development and leverage their acreage position. The maiden reserves validate our view that there remains significant upside to valuation once factoring-in full field development. We retain our Buy with a valuation and price target of $1.50/sh that reflects development drilling purely to hold acres by production."
