The Company's focus will now switch to implementation of an exploration drilling program. It is anticipated that a drilling rig will be mobilized to the Dharoor Valley to begin drilling during 2009. These operations will establish yet another milestone, no drilling having taken place in Somalia since 1992

Africa Oil has an aggressive exploration program planned over the next two years which will include seismic and drilling in both Ethiopia and Kenya, in addition to the previously announced drill program in Puntland, Somalia

"in addition to the previously announced drill program in Puntland"

I guess I have missed something, but I cannot find the previously announced drilling "PROGRAM"

However for all the comments about Puntland drilling budgets and whether AOI are or are not going to drill, they have made it quite clear in their reports they will drill.

I guess only priviledged parties only are aware of the "Program"

The escrow period of AOI placement shares gives a good clue as to timing
