Whow, hold your horses. I like this news as much as the next shareholder, but be realistic :

Following your link :

"Marquis Energy Llc is a private company categorized under Wholesale Oils-Fuel and located in Hennepin, IL. Current estimates show this company has an annual revenue of $100 to 500 million and employs a staff of approximately 50 to 99."

They fall in a certain category (estimated), but since they are privatly owned you won't easily find financial reports unless you go and investigate in New Zealand personally or derive it from their own website :

But they sure look like a professionnal bunch, I'll give you that. It certainly looks good that they are working with these guys.
