Read the report below for a full run-down on what they are trying to achieve.

Below I am quoting their drilling status report taken on the 24th Oct 2006.
"The well is drilling on towards its main targets, which have been interpreted from seismic data to have the potential to contain up to 3 TCF of gas, the Barker Creek (estimated depth to base 12,730 feet) and the Leadville Limestone (estimated depth of top 13,700 feet). The Leadville Limestone hosts the Lisbon Oil & Gas Field, 80 km to the south. The Lisbon Field has produced 54 million barrels of oil and 750 BCF of gas, at current prices equivalent to a gross income of A$10 billion."
Juddy they are saying it has the potential to have 3 TCF..highly unlikely..if it did..my small investment will pay for half of my house.
I would be happy with 50 BCF because that would make the shares valued at around $1.50. If they get 440 BCF then hey..I might get myself a new car or keep investing to get my house.
This is taken from the report I posted above for those who cant be bothered loading it.
"Since it is earning a massive 83.3% in the project, GDN offers huge leverage to success. Discovery of 440Bcf of gas by this A$10-12m well, would be worth about $10 per share, compared with a current price of 19 cents."
So hey..your either in it..to see what they have..or your not. I myself know they could fail..but I'll take that risk.
They had an asx query on the 26th of October.
The question that was asked was...see below
"Does the company consider that the drilling results are material to the company"
They came back with a very positive response..
"The information received in Utah from site on Monday 23rd October 2006 (Utah time) is based on formation pressures and the amount of gas infiltrating the well (full assessment is to follow drill stem testing at the completion of the well.) The company regards the increasing levels of background gas as significant and therefore material."
Now I have bolded the section I believe important and have gone this over with a few mates of mine. We think its worth a go. You got to be in it to win it. How often do you get companies coming back with such positive responses to asx queries...hardly ever. Thats when I decided..ok thats it..I have to hold some of these.
Time will tell. In their drilling status report on the 27th they said they would hit their primary target within 5 days. I think quite a lot of people will lock in profits. Will be an interesting day on monday.
