What you people don't seem to getIs that there is all sorts of bitumen out there. Some of it is mineable, some can be extracted via SAGD and more recently via THAI (Petrobanks baby). THe fact is that yes there is bitumen in AOS's properties but only 201 million barrels is recoverable and the report that Ryder put out suggest that even with the drilling it's likely not much more will be recoverable.
How much do you think they paid for those leases??????
