I did not say anything about Bronte Park, Pectil or Terrex Seismic so why would I be sending e-mails to them?
I said "Funding is not in place, rigs are not on their way to Tasmania, oil men are not gathering in Hobart" and that is an accurate statement of the current position.
As far as the names you mention go:
Bronte Park has been readied on earlier occasions for drilling crews that never arrived (a busload of drillers that set out from Launceston was not heard of again).
Pectil Engineering was mobilised in Jan 2009 but also failed to arrive (“Pectil Engineering’s truck mounted mud logging unit has been mobilized from Queensland and is expected to arrive at the Bellevue #1 drill site early next week.")
Terrex Seismic is in Tasmania at the moment, however, they were not mobilised there by Empire (as claimed in the PR) but by Overseas Energy Holdings who have been doing surveys in the north of the State. Terrex will not wait around indefinitely for work from Empire that doesn't eventuate, so perhaps Malcolm has included a back to site agreement written into the purported contract.
