Marc, I would definitely say to all new NAMX investors, take delivery of your certs and keep as much of this stock out of the hands of the MM's. They crucified us this summer. I believe many took delivery of their shares during the mandatory exchange from IMMM to NAMX. When I wrote that UPR would probably not strike a deal for a while, I was way off. How sweet it can be to be so wrong. Good news ahead. Apparently the Niobara payzone is proving to be 18 ft. deeper than originally projected. This is the formation that is similar to the Austin Chalk. As Mike Currie suggested they are Fracturing it. Drilling costs are working out to about $115K per well. Their bilevel wells are succeeding. The new information indicates that the total reserves may be as high as 32.6 bcf. Originally, the field was pegged at 12.3 bcf The field was originally an undeveloped AMOCO lease of 200K acres. Dr. Stamm surveyed the property with the EMSounder and "high-graded" the 25K acres that indicated positive for hydrocarbons. They secured exclusive lease rights and drilled. Needless to say, their sensing results are correlating very well with the actual drilling results. I suspect that the success in Nebraska may have gotten the attention of UPR who seem to have come back to the table very quickly. BTW, my estimate yesterday of $50K a day could be as high as $150Ka day with a field life expectancy of between 8 to 12 years. This field is turning into an asset worth somewhere between $90mm and 100mm +. The global news as reported by Engo is potentially even better. Do your due diligence. Invest wisely. As Ron Reagan would say, Trust, but verify. have a good weekend, marty, le naif
