RE: We're not here for a good time and we're hereNeed to look at the numbers again I think.
They'll be lucky to netback $18 per barrel. At 7000 bopd thats 46M per year. Capital plan for 2009 was 120 M. They had planned on borrowing money - but that might be a little tough right now. Possible that capital cost will go down with price of steel and potentially labour, but I think they should suck back and bank some cash. Once oil stabilizes at or above $100, Carry on.
There is a reason that juniors got hammed to the tune of 70% when broader index got hit to the tune of 30% - they need capital to go forward with plans, and there is no capital available. Sad but true.
