price sensitive announcement, page-24

True - though not everyone bothers to trawl through HC and my post was word of mouth instead of an official announcement.

Just to reiterate about the expo - the guy was pretty confident about a contract being signed before any drilling took place, but then again he also did mention the 6 week figure (drill head ETA). I hope his sentiment proves to be fact.

Link is just a very brief summary of the ann - outsider bait.
