MD - 2nd hand news... get used to it ....
We are "legally obligated" to shut up, and let the operators report news, I am certain management has made this known along the way, and ERHC is not stupid enough to breech these agreements.
if you want first hand news go buy Addax, Anadarko or Sinopec, in fact they had an outside institution make the estimate how much oil they have - it would be great if we could report this, but I dont think we can. Plus Addax is Canadian and they have more flexible disclosure regulations.
our website sites the 14 Bbls in the JDZ - what else do you want? Repeat this tidbit in every PR ?
However the new assets and IPO coming in Europe are supposed to be separate, so perhaps they may be reported in a primary news cycle
you asked .....
"why can't we republicize what our operators are saying to our public? Why do we have to read it second hand?"
