Another update out now..JAPEX have drilled a further 144 m since yesterday (thats good progress-compared to more recent drilling) ...just 500 m or so to before final well
depth.

JAPEX are providing no update on the result of their flow test from earlier in the week. Probably no wonder, because there is Court action and a whole range of environment protests against the project....even if they have had success.

Stakes are high here for GGX.....their leases are 700 m away from the current drill site....most are onshore, and no such marine concerns would face further exploration by the company.
