waiting for a mine lease in Queensland is truly painful.
While the application is with the DNRM, you can get updates, and feed back, once it goes to the Ministers office, you cant get any updates, except "its with the minister for approval" the Ministers office then go through the application again to make sure its ok, then it sits and waits for a sign off.
in that time it can be sent back to DNRM for whatever reason, and seems to go to the bottom of the pile again.
MRV will be told its being pushed through ect.

We have 4 very simple mining leases to the north of MRV and the have taken of 3 years, and are still not approved.
