Alex, looks like they've changed some of the website overview wording to pretty much what they wrote you here ... makes sense, they won't have a lot of cash on hand [possibly 800k? - my guesstimate], so a healthy amount of thinking and correlation of data before spending would be wise ... also no doubt they're hanging tough to see how the Lundin SL deal comes out - they may or may not know more on this than when i last heard, but obviously there is nothing so far for public consumption
