Cubacan (CCX) rumour re reservoir on Cuban well:

I called one of Fidel's girl friends in Nuevitas and she whispered in my ear that we will soon be hearing this rumour (after I promised
to bring her some perfume next trip, of course)..... the estimate of the size of the reservoir for this first well to most likely be 50
BCF of gas and 6 million barrels of oil. At a netback of US$7 per barrel (CDN$10) that would give Cubacan a field worth $110 million
or $2.80 per share undiscounted ....$1.40 per share discounted at 15%.
On Block 17, seismic has identified 4 more structures similar to the one that has been drilled and 10 - 15 that are potentially as
good. They have a number of similar structures to drill on their adjoining Block 16. Cubacan also holds 25% of MacDonald
Oil..........MacDonald Oil holds Block 22, which is to the south of and ties on to CCX's two blocks. The structure on this block is said
to be massive.......it will be drilled prior to September.
This play has only started......should be a very rewarding stock play this year.

I hadn't bothered to look at the terms of the deb -- you're right, it sure makes it look like the company had to work hard to make people take the paper. This brings into perspective a comment the CFO made when I asked about outstanding debt. He said something like, no, we don't have any bank lines -- it's hard to interest a bank in giving you credit against assets in north Africa.

Loser? Kinda sounds like it.
