Ann: Essential and TLEA to enter into Scheme of Arrangement, page-58

The mining lease application was lodged 20 September and at the time they estimated a 6 month turnaround. That takes us to late March. Has there been an update since then that I've missed?

6 months sounds like a very broad estimate. Presumably that could be 5 months or 7 months.

Your point is valid though. I'd imagine that we could still get a DSO operation underway this year if we really pushed.
