UNRISKED AMOUNT OF OIL IN PLACE
This is per the companies press release of March 2010:
======================================================================================
An initial resource estimate was completed by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited in September 2009 for the shallow Tertiary horizons of the discovered field. The independent assessment established a gross unrisked prospective resource with a 'best estimate' of 132 million barrels of potential ultimate recoverable oil on the field as of September 1, 2009. In addition, the Company has identified up to five exploration prospects and leads that could provide significant opportunities to further discoveries and resource expansion.
=======================================================================================
Now lets do a little math since numbers don't lie:
132 million barrels of oil * $ 91 per barrel * 40% share for LFD is: $ 5 billion dollar asset
Less: royalty of 40% 2 billion royalty
Asset Value: $ 3 Billion dollars
Current market value of LFD 50 million
Now I do understand that there is some cost to this project since as builidng an infrastructure and excavation. Even if I were to remove 50% as cost, you still have an asset value, unrisked by independent third party of, $ 1.5 billion.
Remember that LFD said they will be producing oil in Q4-2011, this means the 132 million barrels of oil. This will bring in huge cash influsion, no more dilution.
With more money, we find more exploration targets and hence more discoveries. The new report coming out in January 2011 should show a substantial increase in projected.
I do understand that there are those whom might sell at 45 cents or even 60 cents cause profit is good however, keep in mind that SOROS has agreed to buy LFD in September 2011 at 65 cents, meaning that this is a bargain price for him while you think you are selling for a great profit.
Numbers don't lie, but good40 does.
JMHO

Your calculation is quite accurate based on the available facts. Asset of 1.5 billionsshould give the stock value of LFD more than 5$ per share, if I am not mistaken. Let'sbe a bit more conservative to cut 50% to about 2.5$ per share which is still a good investment. Please comment, and proof I am wrong.

The name was invented for that intention jlmans. If I remember correctly, years ago I had to bring it to everyone's attention myself, as most, even today see it as forty.A reminder that anything read on the bullboards is... good for nothing.

I almost forgot to mention... if it wasn't for good40, then no one would be aware that LFD is subjectto a whopping 40% royalty and only have a 40% working interest. Now that isn't pleasant to hear, but it's the truth.Would you rather that potential investors don't hear it , because no one else pointed it out ?
