asx release legal action, page-18

Further to the above post, refer MTN media release dated 20th February –

"Marathon Resources Limited (ASX: MTN) advised that it notes with concern the article on page 68 of the Advertiser Newspaper of 20 February 2008. The information in the article is not new and was disclosed to PIRSA, the EPA and the Arkaroola pastoral lease holders at the time the Mt Gee burial pits were disturbed; this was some 6 weeks ago.

Hodgkinson is the site of high grade mineralisation within the Paralana Mineral System which was drilled by Marathon some two years ago. Material similar to that buried at Mt Gee was placed in 200 litre drums which were in turn buried in a way that operatives believe at the time to be in compliance with EPA guidelines. This was an operational error which is now being rectified in conjunction with guidance from PIRSA and the EPA"

TWO YEARS AGO. How could this guy be responsible if he didn’t start at MTN until 2007? IMO he wanted to blow the whistle and board got rid of him so he couldn’t.
