Josef Schachter Solana Resources Ltd. SOR-X HOLD Sep 25, 2008

In a merger process with Gran Tierra (GTE-T) who is the operator of the main asset of the Costayaco play in Colombia. If you own, tender to the offer. This will allow them to work together in Colombia, Argentina and Peru. Fabulous story.

COMMENT
Their key play is a fabulous well, Costayaco in Colombia. Half belongs to Gran Tierra (GTRE-Q2). Also bringing in a rig to drill 5 other high impact wells this year. Very close to his $3 target now and he is putting the stock under review until he hears about Costayaco2. If it is as good, he would probably have a $4 target. Prefers Gran Tierra (GTRE-Q2), which is cheaper but is waiting for it to get its TSX listing.
BUY
Colombia is one of the hottest areas to invest in oil/gas today. Very attractive fiscal regime. Expect to see more positive drill results going forward.
HOLD
Has this under review. Have one rig and are talking about bringing in a second. Will be testing Costayaco 3 and there should be some announcements in the next week or two. Costayaco 1 is producing 3500 BOE's b-day. Costayaco 2 tested over 6600 but they don't have enough take away capacity so they have to build pipelines, which will take until 2009.
BUY
50% partnership with operator Gran Tierra (GTE-T) in a project in Colombia. Fabulous wells. Have drilled Costayaco2 and are now drilling Costayaco3. There could be 10 wells in this play. He doesn't know how big it is. In his models, he is using 30 million barrels of recoverable oil. Use a 2, 3 year time horizon.
HOLD
The higher stock price recognizes some good results plus the rise in the commodity price. Colombia is one of the most attractive fiscal regimes in the world. Pretty stable government.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 20/07. Up 123%.) He has taken some of his profit off the table. Stock is in a Holding pattern now.
COMMENT
Costayaco4 tested some very good results and was way thicker than people had thought. Waiting to see the results from this well. They will then drill C5 and C6 later this year. Reasonably valued at the present time. There are cheaper stories available at this point.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 11/07. Up 160%.) Discovery in Colombia with Gran Tierra (GTE-T). Merging. Costayaco can produce anywhere between 3 and 6 thousand BOE’s a day. Still have to do a lot of drilling. Long-term holding.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 11/07. Up 3%.) Merging with Gran Tierra (GTE-T). Sold his holdings at a higher profit.
