That's all they would have given. circa 1/3rd cash against full 100% security (imo)... so that's now tied up with a bank/ debt, yes.
I cannot see how any bank manager is going to lend millions based on the performance of last 3 wells, which with testing are now costing A$1m each...and were into sweet spots with seismic and shallow....as opposed to more expensive Niobrara.

AKK will not make a cent for shareholders under $60WTI, not a chance imo...and certainly not trucking it out and flaring gas.
