Chuck The land agreements are important.....they may have already been accumulating letters of agreement from adjacent land owners. We wouldn't know about that activity unless someone went to the local town offices and looked up all the deed agreements and attachments of abutters. That information would be in the public domain. But ERB/SIR would not be required to announce all those agreements until they wanted the publiic and shareholders to know. They certainly have been silent...... There can be no doubt that anyone owning land within 50 miles of these drilling rigs already know what's gong on. News like this would travel very quickly in small rural township's. I have country land holdings and if someone were drilling for any kind of gas well over the next hillside and down in the valley....all my neighbors would be out there watching from time to time. (Except maybe not if it was into an old sceptic system...chuckle...then again....they might be out there on sundays scratching their heads) So.....IF they own "43,000 acres" they may also have established mineral rights gained in various ways throughout the area. Also....I remember something CLK said about the USGS envolvement...it had gone on for many years and drilling also by others. The USGS may have established mineral rights with land owners going back many years and be in a position to hand these over to ERB/SIR when the time is right. This again would be public information. Has anyone ever called the USGS of that area and asked for any information. They are by-in-large very nice people and very helpful. One more thought.....if they have (if is all we Know) acquired mineral rights from any source and If those are significant positions.....that would be a powerful 'chip' to present when negotiating the %% of return as the primary exploration company. I wouldn't let that info out quite yet either. I remain hopeful this management is playing straight up with this project and when everything is completed and agreements are signed - etc - We will be very proud and plesased with or selves for picking such excellant management. Hagios o Theos....wouldn't that be Wonderful. Chip
