Krombacher, my opinion in response to your questions:
If the drilling results are good, we won't hear anything about them, at least not as erhe shareholders. Good results will mean a buyout (my guess still in the $2 - $3 range), before complete results are made public.
If the drilling results are not good, we'll hear about them soon after the share price takes it's annual year-end swoon. Ever look at a monthly chart? For 4 out of the last 5 years the pattern is clear. In that case, there will be another buying opportunity for those that want to bet on Sinopec continuing their JDZ exploration.
