VST: Qara Dagh Moving Ahead

GAVIN WYLIE, Scotia Capital Inc. (09/10/2010)
"Vast Exploration announced today that its Qara-Dagh-1 well (37% wi) encountered 64m of net pay in a thick Aliiji section that, while prospective (not a primary zone of interest), will not be fully tested until TD is reached—now scheduled for late-October/November. The well is currently drilling at ~2,200m and is expected to have full test results by late-November. The primary zone of interest in the Cretaceous (Qamchuqa) is likely to occur deeper at 2,800m–3,200m (vs. 2,500m), but appears achievable with two casing strings still available and no overpressure encountered.

We reaffirm our 1-Sector Outperform rating on Vast and one-year target price of $1.40/share based on our risked NAVPS of $1.42M. In the context of our unrisked NAVPS of $5.55, Vast remains one of the highest reward, yet speculative names in our group."
