Ann: Eclipse to Divest Northern Territory Projects, page-228

Hi Barry .

I hope you are well., hey bro….politely and respectfully ….Who did you speak to regarding the locals being opposed to devils elbow mining?

Now this would be news ..I hear the opposite.. The local desert mob are not opposed to mining in areas that do not spiritual or cultural significance.. The money could be well used in communities.. it would seem a positive example of self determination.

The locals weren’t overly keen on spending to much time in certain areas back in the day. They new that family would end up “pica”, if they spent to much time there . ( could be uranium, could be mamu, )


Now ranger mine was in a pretty part of the world IMO, areas of which had significance to the locals .. in hind sight a good case for not mining perhaps .

Large mining companies destroying areas of significance , ie rio destroying caves in wa., imo is wrong.

If it were the case that the locals didn’t want the elbow to go ahead….I would offer my support.. , as a share holder with a few shares I have a bit of a voice .. I would lobby other significant holders as well.. even if I lost $$. It’s about tjukurpa..as the desert mob would say..

In the same way I respect the locals of Greenland ..to make decisions about their land…if they were to suggest epm was a no go, I know I would cop it sweet. For me integrity and being able to look in the mirror still means something. I have sold shares in another company at quite the loss.. why , the ceo and board lacked integrity.

Any way that’s my 2 cents .

To all ..I hope your “own tjukurpa” makes for a good life for you and your families.

regards
