| 1. How much is an acre of Marcellus shale property worth? For example, an October, 2008 report mentioned that "QEC should hit a TARGET of $63.00/sh based on USA Shale Gas land valued at $35,000 per acre (Joseph Schachter) . (BNN-TV [ROB-TV)." Is $35,000/acre reasonable in light of present market conditions? | 1. How much is an acre of Marcellus shale property worth?
