Besides getting rid of GE (i.e. JV or sell) or not having the money to explore GE at this time... another reason I can think of is that maybe they have discovered something so spectacular somewhere else that has made them change focus... either way whatever happaned happened within the past 2-3 weeks... 2-3 weeks ago they were drilling GE... now they are not...has to be one of these three... in order of likelihood IMO...

1. cash low and realized GE drilling not necessary at this time

2. discovered something else that immediately changed focus/plans

3. JV or sell GE to another company
