How can NTL explain their projected development costs being dwarfed by their Staff, Admin and Corporate costs yet still spend over half a million in one quarter???

	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
0	9.	Estimated cash outflows for next quarter	$NZ’000

2	9.2	Development	200,000
3	9.3	Production	Nil

5	9.5	Administration and corporate costs	275,000
6	9.6	Other (provide details if material)	Nil
7	9.7	Total estimated cash outflows	531,650

It has to be the TMP... Why spend money on a mine if you have no guarantee you can access it!!!!

It appears NTL has gone backwards ("continues to engage with the council and other stakeholders to achieve a design")  

I have some inside knowledge of a NZ residential section development where the access was almost identical from a main road.  In that case the developer was forced to pay for new turning bays and road widening on the main road, tar sealing, storm water and widening of the access road and the big kicker the replacement of a one lane bridge with a two lane bridge also on the access road.

Trust me this roadway will cost a small fortune if the Hauraki Council demands half decent upgrades!!!!

It doesn't matter if your CEO has stock if shareholders let them draw well over $1,000,000 in salary until the money runs out...

Not many cheerleaders here today after these two announcements!!
