Interesting points from the Community Consultative Committee, for the Hera Mine, posted on the Aurelia website yesterday.

Main points:
Transport 100,000tpa from the Hera Mine to the Peak Mine. What is going on here. No advice from the company to the ASX. Is the problem that the Peak Mine can't keep the Mill full? Also, mining operations extended at Hera to Dec 25. At Federation they hope to start exploration decline in July 21.
Maybe someone has more access to Aurelia than me. I can't get any emails answered. If anyone has any info on above please post.
