RE: Drill Permits for new targets15 Jul 2019 20:13
Jerry - as Mog already pointed to (thanks Mog) a confident Jason Ward was happy to go on record to say that they were 5 stages complete out of 6, they were expected to be granted shortly and would be drilled henceforth.
Now I know the court case resulted in NM in an RNS putting pressure on by stating they would wait until the new year, court cases pending etc. But given the Minister’s strong ‘right let’s get on with this’ statements after the court case had been thrown out, and their immediate move to oust the illegal miners by force, I suspect NM now will find he has permits granted v shortly, but also pressure on him from govt to ‘sh*t or get off the pot” and to get a wriggle on.
TLDR version - we know on record the permits were shortly to be granted, we know the govt is keen to move the sector forwards (and get some tax revenues!), the permits will come, and pressure will be on NM to drill them
