Ann: Mining Licence Application - Muchea West, page-32

Hey Lucyno, Yeh it’s Western Australia’s Unfortunate policies and Government red tape through the Environmental Process they have put in place drags what should be a smoother process as the The WA Mining Act was put in place to allow that to happen but there’s always something or someone making it difficult… To be honest even if these Big Bulk Handling type of resources were available or allowed to be mined NOW The State really isn’t prepared through there ports (Lack of Space) to actually Export these commodities… but they allow companies NOT using space to tie it up egMinsRes) (Hanson) at Kwinana.. The state can do with further Royalties I’m sure and to be honest the $1.00 a tonne they receive on Silica Sand can probably be put up a bit to accommodate more Port area to become available ??
