where rigs are best suited - Joint market approach with KCA Deutag to
present to the customers a fully integrated
Contractor - Several bids submitted and rigs have been
pre-qualified by several oil companies -

three projects unless other work can be secured
or additional funds are made available - QGM and Thule Drilling are cooperating to find
alternative sources for this funding - Alternative sources being pursued
- Financial investors
- Industrial investors
- Thule Drilling already made USD 22 mill
available - All alternatives will probably entail change of
control or substantial ownership transfer of
shares in QGM - Value of QGM is more than funding required and
debt to Thule
