CRP Invited to apply for Fast Tracking Process for the Chatham Rise Phosphate Project
WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Chatham Rock Phosphate Limited (TSXV: NZP, NZX: CRP, Frankfurt Borse: 3GRE) wishes to advise that the Company has been requested by the New Zealand government to make an application for the Chatham Rise rock phosphate project to be considered as a listed project in the Fast Track Consenting Bill (the Bill) to be put to Parliament.
After being introduced to the New Zealand Parliament on 7 March 2024, the Fast-Track Approvals Bill (Bill) is now being considered by the Environment Select Committee.
This new regime which forms part of National’s coalition agreement with New Zealand First, will improve the speed and process for resource approvals for major infrastructure projects, unlocking opportunities in industries such as aquaculture and mining in our regions.
The proposed new permitting regime is potentially a game changer for resource projects and others considered to be of national significance in New Zealand.
If the Chatham Rise project is included in the List, we would anticipate that the permitting process would not only be quicker but could involve reduced costs and would likely have a more certain outcome.
The application for the Chatham Rise project to be included on the List is under preparation and will be submitted well before the May 3, 2024 deadline.
Let's hope they find something valuable in the sludge. I'm under water too. (pun).
Quote:
The proof is as simple as infrastructure minister Chris Bishop’s blunt reaction to TTR’s parent company, ASX-listed Manuka Resources’ “disclosure” this week that Bishop had “invited” it to apply for fast-track consent.
Bishop told Radio New Zealand that characterising a form letter sent to some 200 potential applicants as an invitation was “misleading”.
From Business Desk.
CRP also characterising the letter as an 'invitation'......
But then again, it did put $2.6m on their market cap yesterday! :mellow:
