The purpose of the meeting was for the City of Abbotsford to receive feedback and comments from the public on the applications made by Pumptown Quarry Inc, together with the access road.

The meeting will result in a report to be written by City of Abbotsford staff to be presented to the Council for ratification on 14 September 2009.

The Company is seeking to raise further funds in the near term; for working capital which will include construction of the access road, early redemption of the RAB loan notes (as set out in the Deed of Variation announced on 30 March 2009) and a deposit on processing plant for Pumptown.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
