indirect windfall from fury a possibility, page-4

a longer post to the farm out rationale in the VPE thread but I would state that hindsight is impossible since every prospect has risk.

ITC did not think Fury (or the upcoming Airacobra) were worthy of drilling (and presumably did not believe it could be farmed out)

VPE did not believe it was worth drilling them at 100%

MHL saw them as the best prospects (at the time only prospects) in their immediate drill file and paid a premium to drill them.

All the companies have different financial triggers, all have different risk adversions but all made what they believed to be the right decision on the data to hand.

Obviously if both ITC and VPE knew it was going to be a success they would have done things different but alas all the science in the world will not tell the whole story until the 'rotary lie detector' does its job.
