Texas potential is huge!This is major bucks for SHY with R.Lamond putting more money on the line!
Posted on this thread because of interest in Texas play.
DZR in their small financing is taking advantage of Canadian Tax laws and will finance Canadian drilling with flow through allowing cash flow to be diverted towards Texas.
Excellent strategy.
