That is total...you know what! I grew up in the Pilbara in WA and if it wasnt for the likes of Rio Tinto, that part of the world wouldnt exist.

The cash injection not only to the shire, but small business, the townsite and the people residing in the town would be significant. Its a no brainer...sign the contract!
