In case you missed it, Cougar made the front page of the South Burnett Times yesterday. Well .. to be accurate, front page of the Business section. Maybe they're trying to show a bit of objectivity just for once. There's a link to CXY's latest release under the article. (Apologies if this has already been posted.)

August 13, 2010 - Cougar Energy directors have expressed alarm at "misleading information" they say has been distributed during the recent water contamination scare in Kingaroy.

"The Company and its Directors are alarmed at the misleading information being distributed by several parties in an apparent attempt to satisfy their own agendas, including the introduction and use of the expressions 'poisonous' and 'cancer-causing' in their efforts to seek attention and question the integrity of the (Cougar Energy) project," a media release from the company states.

"Further it is important to note that two readings analysed by the independent testing laboratory proved to be false and provided incorrect results.

"These were readings of 84ppb of benzene attributed to one of the Company's monitoring bores in the pilot plant area (200m from the gasification process) and 3ppb (trigger standard 800ppb) attributed to a distant saline water production bore.

"The independent testing laboratory engaged by Cougar Energy has confirmed these mistakes in writing to the Company and copies of these reports have been passed on to DERM."
