RE: RE: PACIFIC RUBIALES & Canacol today PRE aquired the 40 % from Monterrico NOT CNE as stated in the nr.....
Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (TSX:PRE) (BVC:PREC) (BOVESPA:PREB) has executed a binding agreement with Petrolera Monterrico Sucursal Colombia, whereby it has agreed to acquire from them a 40% net participating interest in the Portofino E&P contract located in the Caguan-Putumayo basin of Colombia.
CNE is only relinquishing their operator status AFTER they drop in 4 exploration wells as previously announced.
My bet has always been a takeover of CNE by PRE, you are now seeing the first steps toward this eventuality.
