Legal matter...
In other news, Mr. Benson also stated today that lawyers representing Nordic and its joint venture partner, Desoto Resources Limited ("Desoto"), are pressing ahead with preparing the various examinations for discovery in the matter of Desoto versus Encana Corporation ("Encana"). It is anticipated that a trial date for early 2012 will soon be established.
However, Desoto has received an offer of settlement from Encana, which, Mr. Benson says, "has been deemed unsatisfactory."
"Unless a satisfactory and acceptable offer is received from Encana, we will be looking to the Court of Queen's Bench in Alberta to decide on this matter prior to April 2012," he added.
