spoke to paul donaldson

He was nice enough to call me on his mobile this morning, after requesting twice with reception for a chat with someone.

Not exactly a lot he could say highlighting the Nov ann. about the 50/50 JV and ongoing negotiations, stating there is nothing material to release to market atm, hense no announcements. He said they were in Eritrea recently and that they would be heading over again in about 4 weeks. Wanting to get the best deal possible for everyone which is re-assuring and not selling themselves short.

Frustrating waiting but like i said the next 6 months should be interesting.
