Thanks for that. As someone who lives away in a far off land, it's hard to gauge the impact Covid is having locally.
I think the reasons for the prolonged wait are:
Covid must be impacting the national government, less so local WA.
Restriction of movement into those remote areas to get the last couple of NT signatures.
Muchea's proximity to Perth, therefore more scrutiny.
Mining approvals are slow and tedious at the best of times, can take years.

I believe all the follow-up work to answer any outstanding questions has been done and submitted.
Let's hope the economic stimulus works in our favour by exerting some pressure to get them over the line.
