RE:Normal Course Issuer BidWell said Rio. This last NR was simply a renewal of the option to buyback shares although in the content of the NR they intimate they will initiate the buyback. I agree it should not be high on the list of things to do to strengthen the company and God forbid increase shareholder value.
what we desperately need at this moment is exploration and development of their blocks. I will be very disappointed if they announce they have put off drilling Langur-2 in Q1. The other 2 planned wells were Q1/Q2:
Block | Working Interest | Prospect/Well | Activity Type | Timing/Status |
LLA-19 | 50% | Langur-2 | Appraisal | Q1 2015 |
LLA-10 | 50% | Garza Roja-1 | Exploration | Q1/Q2 2015 |
El Porton | 50% | Calatea-2 | Exploration | Q1/Q2 2015 |
It will be interesting to see if they have actually spud Langur-2.
