Over 9,000 line kilometres of2D seismic data and 380km2 of 3D seismic data have been recorded in twocampaigns, resulting in the identification of more than 20 prospects and leads.It is intended that the Matamata prospect would be the first to be drilled, andsubject to contracting a suitable rig, drilling is expected in late 2007 or2008. The farm-out reduces Hardman's participating interest in the EEL from 97.5% to77.5%. The farm-out is subject to the usual regulatory approvals and officialrendering of the second period of the EEL. Hardman will remain as operator.
