So your primary issue right now is that you think the timeline is not realistic?

You may be right, but I also think that Bruce has been pretty on the money in recent times - prob because he fell into the trap of not allowing enough time for things to play out a few years ago.

Personally, I think he’s learned from those mistakes, given himself more contingency time in recent years, so I’ll back him to be on top of it - even if applications aren’t in yet.

By the way, as someone who applies for government applications as part of my job (not for mining) I know that the best way to get them through quickly is A LOT of pre work and communication beforehand.

Its far easier to flush out issues before the official application is in - will make it go through quicker. If the application has even one thing wrong, it’s back to the start (and the end of the queue)
