From 20th.
" Drilling is scheduled to commence in February 2020 with flow testing anticipated to conclude in April 2020. "
"• Project Icewine Unconventional Assessment of material from regional wells ongoing in order to conduct additional FIB-SEM analysis to confirm improved effective porosity and connectivity. Additional analysis to be complimented by results from the Charlie-1 well, with the well designed to penetrate HRZ and gather additional data which will complement the ongoing additional analysis being conducted. The Joint Venture plans to conduct a formal farm-out process to fund further appraisal.
Yukon Leases Discussions are ongoing with nearby lease owners to optimise the monetisation strategy for existing discovered resources located in the vicinity of the Yukon Leases. The Yukon Leases contain the 86 million barrel Cascade Prospect*, which was intersected peripherally by Yukon Gold1, drilled in 1994, and classified as an historic oil discovery. 88 Energy recently acquired 3D seismic (2018) over Cascade and, on final processing and interpretation, high-graded it from a lead to a drillable prospect. The Yukon Leases are located adjacent to ANWR and in close proximity to recently commissioned infrastructure. Permitting underway ahead of possible drilling in 2021 – subject to farm-out. * Refer announcement 7th November 2018 Cautionary Statement: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the application of a future development project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation are required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially movable hydrocarbons.

Assessment of strategy for future of leases underway, ahead of lease expiry in May 2021.
Corporate The ASX Appendix 5B attached to this report contains the Company’s cash flow statement for the quarter. The significant cash flows for the period were:
• Exploration and evaluation expenditure totalled A$4.0m (gross), primarily associated with lease rentals and expenditure associated with the upcoming Charlie-1 appraisal well; • Cash call proceeds received from Joint Venture partners totalled $12.4m; • Payments in relation to the debt facility interest totalled A$0.6m (US$0.4m); and • Administration and other operating costs A$0.9m (Sept’19 Quarter A$1.1m).
At the end of the quarter, the Company had cash reserves of A$15.9m, including cash balances held in Joint Venture bank accounts relating to Joint Venture Partner contributions totalling A$10.7m"
Worst case Scenario The Net to 88e looks to be half 480mmbls from the drill. That's still 250, 000,000 at $3.1 (well over 10pps)
And looks like more drills are in the "pipeline" if you pardon the pun.
