RE:not a fail! progress not perfectionYes, you are correct..steady incremental gains. At this rate it will take 32 years to reach 500boe. M&A you say? Here is what we know, FEN has little in the way of actual production, $5.6m in debt and enough upper management to choke a dozen donkeys..oh and did I mention an $8.5m market cap? Shareholders (myself included) would get the long hard pointy end of any "merger".
