This is Mr Burton thinks of his shareholders, page-19

Thanks for that @chuk

I don't suppose he mentioned anything about the Mining Management Plan (MMP) or the Water Abstraction Plan?

From a risk management/personal expectation perspective I'm still assuming that the TO's and CLC would want to sight these documents prior to completely closing out the agreement. If not, perhaps it will simply be a case of signing off subject to the MMP and Water Abstraction Plan meeting all relevant recommendations. 

What completely baffles me is why the company doesn't just release a comprehensive Project Update. Management are no doubt aware of what information "ill-informed" retail holders are wanting clarified. 

How tough would it be to break each aspect of the project down into;

• This is what is outstanding (eg. Water Abstraction Plan)
• This is what the process involves (eg. Meeting all recommendations as per NTEPA assessment report - detail pertinent recommendations)
• This is where we are at in the process (eg. we've completed the additional field work - detail additional field work completed)
• This is what we still have to work on (eg.we're now working with our environmental consultant to compile the data - add detail)

It doesn't have to be a Gantt chart, it doesn't have to make any time-related commitments. There was a time when most of us here had a great deal of respect for PB and I honestly don't believe that much has changed. This is frustration Paul, nothing more, nothing less. 

Appoint a truly independent chairperson and keep us informed. By doing so you'll have a supportive retail SH base that continues to back the project and management regardless of how close we are to production.
