Ann: EP184 Granted - McArthur Basin NT , page-3

I thought the announcment was clear.
Grant is later than expected, operations will commence in the dry season.
If eeg had contracted equipment based on when they thought we would get the grant then we would have lost all the money.
Before you book equipment you wait until you are allowed to use the equipment on the land.
Today eeg are allowed to use the equipment on the land. So now the equipment will be be contracted. At obviously a time when it can be used, in the dry.
Obviously the planning has been done as to what is needed and the timing sequence and planning discussions with possible equipment suppliers, not that there are many in Australia.
Anyway when dates are known Im sure they will be released.
The dry is only a few months away.
anyway just my thoughts
