Digging around I see Octanex has just had a small capital raising of $300K to qualify it for listing on the ASX. It was oversubscribed. Octanex had been listed on the NSX previously.

The prospectus is here. http://www.nsxa.com.au/ftp/news/021721940.PDF

What was interesting they had a letter from Albers and the first photo I have seen of him. It also has a great table about the gas resource potential for the various NW shelf leases. Octanex may be anotehr in the same fold as MOG, MEO and CUE to keep an eye on when or if it lists.
