Lots and lots of hurdles, departments and consultants to pay to get a mine license in Australia IMO.
Not only this company but other specs are held to ransom by greenies and traditional owners. I acknowledge they are interested parties and certain conditions need to be met, but held to ransom and being able to stop a mine license progressing is utterly disappointing and makes me resentful of all these fat cats getting their $500 per hour to sit across each other in a room and delay, delay, delay.
I expect TNG board are learning too much rather than already have the experience to anticipate and navigate the mine license process. PB out of his depth but holding on to his pay packet, majority shareholders (Brown family where are you!) should have identified this and replaced PB years ago.
