mining lease is formally issued 1 week after.., page-8

MD,

I totally agree with you and expressed similar thoughts the other day.

Whilst the granting of the mineral lease may not assist AGS's case in the M&D C proceedings, I can't see how the M&D C case can prevent or otherwise hinder the granting of the mineral lease as it is a legislated (separate) process.

The more I think about this the more I am becoming convinced that the M&D C case will be discontinued/settled. The Judge to AGS, "If you say Quasar/Heathgate are not entitled to the 75% interest in the JV, why on earth have you subsequently entered into a NTMA with them, jointly registered that NTMA with PIRSA and accepted the terms/conditions of a mineral lease with them?"
