CGX is funded for drilling of Jaguar with its 25% share of costs estimated to be $30 to $40 million. In parallel,

JRD continues to market the opportunity for a joint venture partner(s) to earn a promoted

interest in the Corentyne PPL by drilling an exploration well. The preference is to drill this well deep to test a
