West Klondike Wilbert Sons #1 (GGE 10.5%) flowed over 2 mmcf gas per day from the lower Nod Blan. It is suspended awaiting facilities and export pipeline, expected to take 4-6 months. This confirms the December 2012 discovery as flowing.

24 Apr 2013security holder rights change● NeutralMajor
The board will consolidate shares 5 for 1, cutting shares on issue from 3.74b to about 748 million. The stated reason is that tiny price increments cause 25-50% moves per trade and hurt liquidity. Listed options go to 7.5c exercise price; shareholder meeting notice to follow.

Hensarling #1 at Desiree (GGE 35.6%) reached 12,455 ft; the deeper Cris R IV and V had no commercial hydrocarbons. The 31 ft and 49 ft pay in Cris R II and III stands, and testing of those zones is next. The deeper secondary targets are a disappointment.

Partner Golden Gate (3.99% WI) repeats the Hensarling #1 update: no commercial hydrocarbons in Cris R IV and V, testing of Cris R III and II to follow. Nothing new for GGE.
