Hehe I hope this picture from S.A. The statement is mind blowing :). He used "encouraging" in every statement in the past 5 years if I recall correctly

Maybe good resource to review https://dpir.nt.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/259328/From-the-back-of-the-shed-to-the-forefront-of-exploration.pdf

I think also for the ppl who do not follow this closely the fact is Origin still engaged and actually doing work maybe more important then actual news.

Market seem to like the news, but from my perspective it is not new we all knew that is very good possibility I guess Origin saying this is big deal.

I wonder who will get to exploration first this year SA seem to moving now with the words like imminently, first quarter of 2018. POQ already finalized the parts for Oil and Gas andI think he should be getting on the plane now and make sure things are good to go! https://www.miningreview.com/news/mprda-amendment-bill-finalised-imminently-says-president-ramaphosa/

Mining Charter court bid put on hold as Ramaphosa steps in https://www.fin24.com/Economy/mining-charter-court-bid-put-on-hold-as-ramaphosa-steps-in-20180218? I think this finally will be resolved

Katherine times as usual making noise. Looks like it was private event https://www.katherinetimes.com.au/story/5233504/media-censored-at-pro-fracking-meeting/

This is great article that gives us some glimpse on the future development of mining in SA and by extension oil and gas. I am very excited to see this as my original investment in Falcon was around prospects in South Africa not AUS. https://www.miningreview.com/news/does-mining-industry-have-future-south-africa/

I think that is extremely important to call out BS and as far I can tell that maybe first time LTG was challenged publicly.

Jacob Zuma resigns as president of South Africa, hopefully this bring some changes to mprda and overall business climate. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/jacob-zuma-resigns-as-president-of-south-africa-20180214?

No specific date just sometime in March

https://www.originenergy.com.au/about/investors-media/media-centre/lock-the-gate-apologises-for-false-allegations-made-to-nt-scientific-inquiry.html As usual lots of coverage of allegations and nothing about issued apologies at least not yet.

I think Gunner will try to make right decision for Territory, which is inline with our goals. I also find this comment interesting. "The independent inquiry is a deliberate attempt to restore trust to how government make decisions. One of the reasons we are having this argument about fracking in the Northern Territory is because Territorians lost complete trust in the CLP s ability to make a decision during the chaos of the CLP years." so what it tells me if CLP did not screw up fracking would be moving ahead.... I just do not know how to read this any other way.

Gas supply fears as Origin slashes Ironbark reserves. from The Australian https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/mining-energy/gas-supply-fears-as-origin-slashes-ironbark-reserves/news-story/b2431c6143f0638e29fae3b479d07edf Mr Wilson said the Ironbark downgrades put more importance on development of Northern Territory shale gas to meet east coast demand. �The smaller, targeted development plan for Ironbark (first gas now forecast in 2020-21) brings Origin and Falcon Oil and Gas�s highly prospective Beetaloo Basin play into sharper focus as a long-term source of gas for east coast markets,� he said.

I take last part of your question. I think they just did not have right people there to answer the question, since the issue is so contentious they need to be careful on what they say and people who were there did not want to make assumptions or were not prepared to answer that question.

Looks like Origin no longer considering Ironbark their strategic asset (third pillar of their strategy "integrated gas") So Only thing left is beetaloo. Also there is response to LTG people https://www.originenergy.com.au/about/investors-media/media-centre.html?page=1&tag=*&fromdate=&todate= http://www.smh.com.au/business/energy/origin-takes-700m-bath-on-gas-assets-20180207-p4yznv.html http://www.smh.com.au/business/energy/origin-takes-700m-bath-on-gas-assets-20180207-p4yznv.html

At this point it will be continuing spray of BS from fracktivists repeating same thing over and over and over and over and over. Because repeating same lies will eventually makes them true. Let's hope there is enough courage in current leadership to recognize and call out BS.

I have to keep remind myself that I am not here for the pennies, but it would be nice to see the day that actually goes up.
