You have a point regarding the "tens of millions of dollars", but regarding whether only gas was found, Dan also stated very clearly:
"Certainly there is additional information that was gathered during drilling that has not been released pending analysis."
He, my friend, guess what, the mofo's got another year for analysis.
And I think that is were the whole crux of the game is, they found a lot more to work with, but did not label it as T-gas, Hydrocarbons, oil, or whatever... because "the are looking for the controlling element"................................
Sheer BS of course. They would have pulled the plug by now for sure, OBO elephants or not.
