A well written article. What I particularly noticed was Brian ran a consulting business specializing in resource estimation.That would tell me that KXL has a very good idea of the numbers that will be in the 43-101. although an independent consultant must be used to validate them . Perhaps one of the major reasons for various parties optimism.At the end of the article"Brian thinks acquisitions will be part of Kodiak's business strategy." Here is where the wisdom of Thomas Barber's appointment should become apparent.
