i tend to agree..

we have hillcrest with a funding partner.. they on current terms are happy to back the experience of the chairman, Michael Krzus and Don Currie to the tune of $50,000,000

Micheal has a very good CV... obviously credentialed enough to get a nice $50 mill backing

so, looking at what each other gives to each other,,, DEAL FLOW

I doubt the likes of Michael and Don just dont take on anyone in alliances.. when you have a serious funder you need a serious potential partner.. So imho Xstate has to have something to offer in terms of projects that are equivalent to the $10 mill projects they are targeting.. you dont get to do an alliance of this quality unless your also delivering quality

Hillcrest openly talk about a current 225bopd deal already that they are seriously moving ahead.. and imho he means with Xstate in mind.. so we can assume that there is already some planning going on when you listen to dons comments..

there is a real nice feel about some potential deals to be made imho if you look at the credentials on the table right now... $50 mill funder in the background for Hillcrest whom have massive confidence with the board there,, and Xstate being spoken of very highly and being in the mix with them potentially ...

i really like this alliance far more than any of the previous ones
