NTL - New Talisman Mine - New board & Directors

[jonu]

Jonu is that the same one who was on here ages ago? Gag I think was the name?

I suspect so but I can't remember the profile name. Classic case of nimbyism and people using the RMA/planning process to obstruct others. I really hate how this has crept into NZ society over the last 20 odd years. I have had personal experience of similar b/s in my own life with hypocrytical neighbours. The strange thing is that they are so blatant about it. Maybe I look back with rose tinted glasses, but I don't remember NZ being like that years ago.

ANNOUNCEMENT BY NEW TALISMAN GOLD MINES LIMITED (NTL)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MINE PORTAL SECURED - PUBLIC ACCESS RESTRICTED


New Talisman today is pleased to announce that the Department of Conservation
has approved the fencing off of the mine portal area to ensure the safety of
the public and workers at the mine site, as increasing mine activities are
carried out.


The board acknowledges the hard work of the dedicated team at the Department
of Conservation who have made a careful and considered assessment of the
safety issues in granting this approval. The Company will now take the
necessary steps to implement the approval in the interests of protecting the
health and safety of the public, our employees, and to secure our equipment.


The area to be fenced off is the immediate area around the mine site portal
and will not affect access to any of the tramping tracks in the area, nor
will it infringe on anyone's enjoyment of the area.


Matthew Hill stated "The portal pad which is a highly modified industrial
site that was closed for many years and will be once again closed off as we
take this historically very productive mine back on the road to development.
These steps were necessary given the duty of care imposed by the Health and
Safety at Work Act. The health and safety of the public and our employees and
contractors remains our paramount concern."


An update on the mine related activities at site will be provided to
shareholders shortly.

Such a shame this announcement was slightly overshadowed by the "build a fence" statement earlier...

shareholders and stakeholders, worked tirelessly to get to this important
milestone, and we are pleased to be at a stage where we can commit to the
advancement of this storied mine's development. We are thankful for all the
local community and government support which has ensured that this
development proceeds in a manner that provides benefits to all stakeholders
and the broader community."

Terra Firma Mining Ltd an experienced local company have been engaged to
provide civil engineering services to the project. The company's knowledge
and experience operating in the local mining and underground construction
sectors, coupled with a strong track record in health and safety management,
will be of considerable value in the safe and efficient execution of the
project.

and individuals in the area and are gratified at the level of interest in,
and strong support for, our endeavours shown by local residents.

Hauraki District Council.

Site Closure

As announced The Department of Conservation has advised that the company's
application for closure of the mine site at the portal, has been approved and
closure will shortly commence

We would emphasise the need for public to be aware of dangers of entering
mine sites without the appropriate safety equipment and knowledge. In due
course the company will offer the ability for tours to the mine as has been
done in previous years in a safe and secure way.

Talisman Deeps

The significant body of works on the Talisman deeps project is nearing
completion. Following the initial technical work such will be peer reviewed
to ensure conformity with JORC 2012. The work being undertaken provides
significant potential for expanded operations at the extensions of the mine
and are likely to be complete by the end of Q1.

CEO Matthew Hill said "We are delighted to finally begin operations which we
hope will bring this historically productive New Zealand mine once again on
the road back to full production. We are very excited by the technical
developments on the deeps which provide for the potential to significantly
increase the upside and extended mine life to our future operations."

Nice - so, traffic plan may still be an issue, but they can steam ahead and resolve later. End of Q1 means production starts, or am I too optimistic?

You sure are given that Q1 has passed 3 months ago. Two optimistic for end of Q2 as it just passed the other day. Probably somewhere between Q3 and q4 is my take and even then expect some teething problems.

Yesterday I drove up to where the first gate is across the road. Or put it another way to as far as you can drive my ute. Met two anti miners and had a chat with them. Told them I was a holder of the company and a lover of NZ natural environment. Also told them they should buy shares in the company and help me from the inside to make sure this small mining company does no more damage to the environment than any other group of human activity,and from what I can make out that is the feeling of every other shareholder I have met including the management.
I did not convince them but we parted in good grace. They said that every day they came to inspect the area. Guess that is about to end.

I stand to be corrected but the full year results were to March 31st, so that would put us in Q1, finishing June 30.

Did both you and the protestors part ways on gracious terms?
What sort of reasoning did you guys discuss with each other in regards to the environmental impact?
Do protestors make their way up to the tracks via environmentally damaging combustion engine vehicles or do they make their way up via bicycle/horse?
