Re: BKP - Baraka Petroleum


Hi Beatle,


I guess we shall see.

I believe that management are doing their best (although they are pushing the boundaries at times.)


From my sources, drilling should be in March (hoping that the 1st well of the 4 drill program might start in February). The JV is hopeful of a rig contract within 14 days. The Canadians hope to have the finances raised and finished by end of first week of Dec. at the latest. My scenario is the following:


To keep SP up, we will get an announcement on confirmed $$$$ raised, a rig booked and a Ryder-Scott Report. My guess is that the Ryder-Scott would be released last, the petrol to throw on the fires lit by the secured funding and rig. My sources also tell me that the Ryder-Scott report is finished but not being released by non-asx JV. If I am wrong, why would they have decided to drill a horizontal drill and know that the potential reserves are worth the effort???? Anyway, I'm OK with the stage managed process as it keeps the SP up.


Good times ahead...
