Strong core value and high re-rating potential provides a compelling investment case<br />

Although investment cases in companies with no exploration, or high-impact explorers with little core value can be compelling, we<br />

see a combination of high impact exploration in companies where the valuation is well supported by the core value in the company<br />

as attractive. Bowleven, Coastal, Rockhopper, Det Norske and Faroe stand out as being particularly attractive from this perspective;<br />

these companies feature as winners in our Balanced Explorers screen. We note that a number of companies such as Salamander,<br />

Gulfsands and Aminex are very close to making it into this screen.<br />
