We would need to look at their maps and data. Sometimes we get lucky and find a public litho log, like the one they made off Monkey River, showing signs of hydrocarbons. They say 50 dryholes or wells have been drilled with none declared commercial until BNE hit.
The northern territiory is a mixed bag of metamorphic rock and sedimentary rock. BNE is a pocket of (karsted) tertiary limestone surrounded by metapmorphic rock (much older); unless you're looking at (oil) shale the possiblity of locating oil in metamorphic rock is slim. A bunch of the Maya Mtns. is meta-rock. Surface geology tells you a lot, i.e. the prospect areas should be obvious. Oiljob
P.S.: Treaty has a geo map on their website, kinda, it's hard to read. I've faxed the Dept. of Geology in Belize, but they seem to be ignoring me, I'd like to buy my own map.
