We will have two or three exploration rigs drilling approximately 60-85 core holes on our Tetlin Lease this summer as well as completing additional airborne geophysics, reconnaissance exploration and environmental studies. For a more complete description of our planned program, visit our website at www.contangoore.com. Both our Chairman, Kenneth R.
