Ann: Darwin Port agreement expanded to 800,000tpa, page-33

Beautiful FLAT land and that too just metres away from INFRASTRUCTURE... how many GREAT ore bodies do we know that are STRANDED in the middle of nowhere !!! This one looks like a simple access roda not even half a km long to the site from a nice highway and then again no rough terrain to negotiate... should make quarrying it easy and hence CHEAP even if it is done for just half the year due to the wet season...

I think some time before Xmas the application goes in and 8 weeks or so of "paper pushing" through the govt department's various officer's table... nothing gets done in a shot so maybe some queries and re-submission - if all goes as per plan, then by March 2019 we may get the BIG tick and the buyer/s - IF they are waiting for this may then have to cough up with their offtake/s...

doesn't mean that there will be a lull now (other than the mandatory Xmas lull)... the fact that Andrej is on Twitter posting pics tells me that he wants it to roll on as fast (or even faster) as we do... he seems like a no-nonsense type of an operator and to do tweets about the site tells me he wants to tell us all - you guys have waited for 2 years now, give it one more quarter or so...

there should be some steady flow of news now while we get the final piece negotiated....
