Georgia Project During the quarter, the Company's JV partner and Operator, Strait Oil & Gas UK(Strait), continued to advance discussions and negotiations with respect topotential transactions associated with the JV and it's Production SharingContracts (PSCs) in Georgia. Strait advises Red Emperor that a positive outcometo these discussions is still likely to occur. In June, Strait signed a one year extension of the PSC for Block VIb with theState Agency for Regulation of Oil and Gas. Puntland Project Over the past quarter, the Federal Government of Somalia has been engaging theSomali States, including Puntland, in a process of revising the federalhydrocarbon law. The main issues being contemplated and negotiated by allparties are those of revenue sharing and where the authority to conductcontractual negotiations in the future will reside. These issues are delicateand discussions are ongoing, with Red Emperor's Joint Venture Partner andOperator, Horn Petroleum (TSXV: HRN), having met with the Puntland President,Mr Abdiweli, as well as the Federal Minister of Oil and Gas during the quarter. The Puntland Government obviously believes that it holds the right andauthority to assign and administer Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) withinits boarders and Red Emperor's Joint Venture remains confident that theexisting Dharoor and Nugaal PSAs are valid. At recent meetings in Abu Dhabi,the JV was verbally assured of this, however it is yet to be presented withanything in writing by the Federal government to confirm it. Discussions continuewith the State and Federal governments to ensure alignment with regards tocontracts and a secure working environment, as well a commitment to explorationin Puntland and the unlocking of what is believed to be material naturalresources within its boarders. Corporate During the quarter, Red Emperor conducted a detailed review of at least 6separate projects and opportunities in a number of global jurisdictionsincluding the UK, Nigeria, Russia and Australia. While none of theseopportunities have resulted in a transaction, Red Emperor is actively lookingfor additions to its current portfolio of assets while remaining committed tomaintaining its substantial cash position. Along with a short-term financing loan, which has now been repaid, the companyalso invested in and committed to a placement in ASX listed company, HighfieldResources Limited (ASX: HFR) during the quarter.
