I totally agree with the comments of roadrunner and cooper. Excellent posts. IMHO, the only scenario that made sense to postpone drilling of MW was if they were considerring a JV with NOT. But, as Roadrunner points out so eloquently. "PARTNERING UP WITH NORONT DOESNT TAKE AWAY THE RISK OF HITTING NOTHING WITH THE DRILL. IT ONLY DILUTES THE UPSIDE OF A MAJOR STRIKE." (MGT, please read that sentence over and over as many shareholder feel this way.)

Considering the limited information we have to date, I also would like to see a complete buyout of MW holdings as opposed to a JV. But then again it raised the question that keeps coming up, how can PRB even consider selling the MW property unless they have drilled it first to have a clearer picture of what it is worth.

We need additional information from mgt and the sooner the better.
