121 Mining Conference Emerald Presentation, page-8

I also think it is important to remember that throughout this process EMR have been assisting the Cambodian government in creating legislative procedures and regulations around mining in line with international guidelines which would have been a slow and arduous process in the early years. Just grabbing off the EMR website they make mention to this.

'' Emerald’s vision is to have a net positive impact on near-mine environmental and social values by targeting strict compliance with corporate governance, international guidelines (IFC PS’s) and local law and engage and collaborate with all stakeholders in the project area.''

Hopefully moving foward if EMR look to expand operations or explore new tenements in Cambodia it is a quicker and smoother process!
