Even if they don't want to drill Rahu, NTL need only drop one deep drillhole into its target area (location of the current Rahu JORC resource) and I reckon they will pull out similar or better grades than Talisman.

If NCM don't want a piece of it, someone else will, or we'll do it our damn selves like we're doing with Talisman!

LNY's exploration game up with no tangible results. Their exploration permits are the same ones that NTL sampled and abandoned about a decade ago. It's all on the NZPAM records. NTL didn't want the LNY permit areas.

Rahu, on the other hand, is a whole different kettle of fish.
