tigers and elephants and oxiana

Dear DoubleD,

You'll be happy to know that TNC's leases are in a province called Rottana Kiri (also spelt Ratanakiri) which is north of the province of Mondol Kiri (also spelt Mondulkiri) where Oxiana have their Cambodian leases. Unfortunately for those Oxiana guys, their province is noted for having Tigers and Elephants, so if you would wish to work for Oxiana in Cambodia, I'd be keeping one eye open at night. Does anyone know if Elephants snore?

At the moment it's just a waiting game until:
a) Jan 2007 detailed aeromag survey is interpreted;
b) 140 samples collected during June quarter from Banlung Project are assessed - with focus on Okalla Creek anomaly;
c) 240 samples from Oyadao Project are currently being collected over 4-6 week period and samples will be tested during July/August and results availailable during September... which is how many weeks away?

All exciting stuff!

Cheers,
