"Selected projects will be invited to negotiate funding agreements prior to public announcement of the project selection outcomes in the third quarter of 2013."

Fakeshark,

The above statement says the applicants will be invited to negotiate funding in the third quarter....it doesn't say that the public will find out about the successful projects in the third quarter

SP3,

That's your interpretation which is fine. Seems we have a different opinion.

I am surprized your posts on MNM have not been moderated because of the posting rules of MNM and ESI?

Seems that most MNM holders are happy to hear apposing views unlike the ESI shareholders?

Funny that :-0)

I will read the ALDP FAQs again to see if I get a different impression...

ALDP news could run late anyways so no guarantees on when we will get news.

I am just glad its progressing and I am glad that MNM's JV partner seemed to have followed all the required criteria.

Any excitement around the Brown coal Pilbara will be good for MNM based on their Brown coal tenements.

Have a great day SP3
