If you or you and your friends were going to put in $3-5M or more to get SFMI drilling without interruptions, wouldn't you also put in place controls so that you and your friends could dictate rather than recommend how the business develops? Given that PQ has made some decisions that have been less than brilliant along the way, my guess is that this consortium is putting conditions in place to assure that they have at least one hand on the steering wheel going forward. AS and buddies won't just hand over cash and say, "PQ, go run with it!" I think they will insist on telling him exactly how to spend it so that they get something other than a goose egg in return. My guess is that these conditions are still in the works, so, only a teaser PR today. Nonetheless, the news is a vote of confidence. Just waiting for more votes.
