SAS1 asked:

"Hey Tony....just a quick one, how is the EPA process going for Irvine? This will be a BIG tick in the box when the go-ahead is given"

-----------------------------------------------------------

My reply:

The process is very slow but we are making progress. I reckon the process to get approvals is now so cumbersome that it is actually quicker to build a mine.

It can be frustrating but it is a process we will get through.

Cheers, Tony.
