Mike49 - IV & info on CKE's acreageMike - I think it would be worth for you to visit Investor Village RMP board. Quality of posters is much higher and it will aid you in your due dilligence.
You seem to know what you're talking about, so am sure you can also add to the board yourself.
I can confirm for a fact RMP looked at but did not buy CKE's land (though I don't know who did). Exactly because as you say it's expected (but not certain) to be "sour skeg". I think this is prudent as the $ 10 mln can be much better used for drilling & facilities.
They already have massive runway on Gold Creek so let's start proofing it up.
