Ann: Further Update on NT EPA Direction on Darwin EIS Supplement, page-119

Why can’t legal path be option for TNG to pursue? TNG carried out all detailed studies and surveys per NTEPA direction/process and addressed issues raised, and now NTEPA change goal posts! All this has cost TNG and SH money, lost time, missed opportunity costs, etc and to what end? Only to be told to do more of these??? And that land offered by previous NT Gov is now being questioned?? That does smack of corruption as someone else might be seeing more value of that land or that thinking TNG is the cash cow that will have to buy the land and then turn it into a wildlife corridor!

From earlier post of west vs China heating up on daily basis these days, feds will be keen to not only protect critical metals via major project status, but probably could also weigh in to put pressure on NT muppets in charge that there is more than few leftie greenies agenda points at stake here. Not in their interest for plant to go to Malaysia (big assumption is someone with enough smarts is in charge to make such a call from the feds side)

In fallout from few years ago, there was discussion as to how PB was critical for continuity and bought in support of Indian and German money. Wonder if those cash masters will tolerate this outcome at such an (so-called) advanced stage, regardless how much PB may not be at fault in this instance. And where does SMS stand on all this? They too are affected adversely if they’re keen to shop TIVAN plants around the world.

It’s a shame that calls for shareholder activism approaching NT pollies being suggested - where is the level of relationship/transparency/support of major project status from NT Gov? Not worth the paper it was printed on.

Tier 1 partners, innovative process and patents, product guarantees (almost there if this FEED process ever concludes!), low cost production for higher quality products - all great points in an impressive story so far. But to throw towel in at this stage because of NTEPA process thta is a joke? Any alternative locations means more delays so tng has to continue to persist with present location. Wonder how much cash burn required to keep pushing here. C/R and more dilution will need to happen again at this rate.
