First pass interpretation of the structures within the Cane Creek unit are very encouraging. Multiple structures that are likely to contain natural fractures are visible and work will now focus on detailed mapping and reservoir characterisation to better define them and identify targets for drilling.\n \nThe processing of the data is expected to be completed in one week and interpretation work will continue to define the drill targets within the Paradox Clastics. The interpretation process is expected to take around 5 to 8 weeks, including the holiday period, with final defined targets expected to be identified at that point. At that stage, permitting of the drill locations is expected to commence.\n \nWell design engineering is also underway to outline the well options available to Rose in preparation for completion of the subsurface evaluation. The key focus will be to deliver a safe drilling operation in the most cost effective manner possible.\n \nMatthew Idiens, CEO commented: \"We are very encouraged by the initial results of the data acquisition.
