RE: MINERALISATION REPORT SUBMITTED FOR MINING LEASE (M47/1633)
On behalf of the Director, Geological Survey I have made a preliminary examination of the Mineralisation Report that forms part of this mining lease application.
The Director, Geological Survey requests, in accordance with Section 74A(2) of the Mining Act 1978, further information in relation to matters dealt with in the Mineralisation Report.
This information (as outlined below) is required before I refer the Mineralisation Report and the additional information to the Director, Geological Survey for a decision on whether significant mineralisation has been demonstrated to be present in, on or under the land to which the application relates. The Director, Geological Survey will then report to the Minister (section 74A(1)).
This was replied to back in July. I wonder if the Minister has the report yet?
In all fairness, the guesstimates for approval dates do seem to have been given in good faith. It's typical bureaucracy in action!!! Or inaction to be more accurate.
