It's my opinion that people are misinterpreting the COS values. The 15% COS last time in the H&P reports was an overall value for tai (although they did also have lake beds at 25% as a separate entity which would now be incorporated in a stacked target drill). This time, it is 14% for 5 different prospects (3 lake beds, 1 red sandstone, and 1 karoo) and 10% in the 6th (basement). It's obviously not as simple as adding them together but I believe there is some additive value to having these multiple prospects. Clearly, some of the targets are more closely linked to others (Lake beds A-B having a discovery would have a greater influence on the hypothetical cos of lake bed C compared to the Karoo for example). When we consider some of the large unknowns talked about in the previous CPR and campaign such as seals, traps, generation and migration it is clear some of these are now better understood and show positive signs for the project. I believe the COS to be much higher than people think and could be closer to a 30-50% region.
