Os mesmos vigaristas de sempre, aqui
e abaixo algumas das razões.... que lembram tantas outras
We are strongly of the view that the #company# cannot meet the “substantial commencement” requirement because:
- They have not begun negotiations with Upurli Upurli Nguratja Traditional Owners for an Area Land Use Agreement or other approvals.
- They do not have an approved Sandhill Dunnart Conservation Plan - a plan to protect this endangered species which needs to be assessed and approved by the Federal Government.
- They do not have the capital needed to construct the mine (they have about $24 million in the bank but the costs of developing the mine are well over $200 million).
- The company have not made a Board level Final Investment Decision to proceed with the project.
- They have no proven capacity to cover rehabilitation and clean up costs - best practice should require this to be demonstrated prior to any approval.
- They still require a suite of both state and federal permits and licenses.
- The work they are doing now is primarily refurbishing existing infrastructure associated with exploration activities.
