If Mantle announce that they are to "proceed to finalise the very positive discussions" then that could not possibly mean another 6 months as that would mean that they are only half way through, no were near finalising. I think that is a bit of media spin, and I highly doubt Ian would give permission to use dates.
I think it is anyones guess when the native title holders will give the final sign off. It is their prerogative to provide access, the dreamtime and the company deadlines don't always run at the same pace. Ian is a very capable manging director, if he says the discussions are close to being finalised then I don't want it sprung on me without my current position, I am staying put.
