The gravity survey results are now being combined and integrated with existing seismic data to confirm the permits petroleum potential. It is expected that a report on this interpretation will be available by the end of 2009. Norwest aims to use the results of this report to plan a 2D seismic survey over the permit that will be shot in the latter half of calendar 2010 or in early 2011.
