if the results are being misunderstood, page-3

no exact figures for the cost of royalty payout mentioned but if u refer back to
company ann. on 28 Jun 2006 Denny Dalton - Drilling...

"Acclaim Exploration through Caracle Creek International Consulting Group (CCIC) have negotiated an improved commercial drilling program resulting in a significant saving to the company."

and then have a read at the next ann. on 07 Jul 2006 Denny Dalton Royalty...

"The company has negotiated to secure the future of any possible ongoing commitments by way of a one off payment. This payment has been effectively funded by saving's made in the original drilling contract."

i'm assuming it's not a figure to keep ppl too worried since it's paid off with the prev. drill savings...
