You do realise that they can't just snap their fingers and create an announcement filled with data out of thin air? They need to wait on contractors to supply drilling information, data etc. You don't think they want to release information as well? What do you think they are doing? Sitting around saying "nah lets not release that today I can't be bothered". Maybe give Gemma a call. She is more than happy to explain on the work in progress (queue crap comment from Buddypraise)

In regards to this Ann do you realise how many projects (especially mining) fail due to lack of community support/protests? Maybe do some googling.

I swear some people think a multi billion $ project can just be created out of thin air and there are zero steps to follow along the way.
