Ann: MHA Petroleum Consultants appointed to under, page-3

re: Ann: MHA Petroleum Consultants appointed ... Dex,

The good thing is that we will get in a couple of months a full evaluation of the potential for early resource and reserve certification in the new permits that EGL got (Sud Midi and Valenciennois) as well as areas that have not been much studied previously (Jura and Gardanne).

I am really looking fwd to get MHA?s initial evaluation of the potential for early resource and reserve certification in these high quality blocks that EGL has.

Would have been good to have had MHA to look at assets in Italy and Belgium but we have not heard much progress there from the company in the past 2-3 years...Anyway, MHA will have plenty of work on its plate with the French assets I guess.
