RE: CRP's application. It seems CRP got shot down at some of the first few sets of hurdles. Getting any sort of environmental management plan drafted up, submitted and then approved by Govt. departments can sometimes be more challenging than the actual mining itself. TBH I don't follow CRP so don't know how long they were trying and how far they got before being denied.
I feel that NTL has cleared so much more of these pointless and costly legal hurdles already. And you would have thought that opposition would be on the ball with regards to every little move or announcement a mining company would be making. Especially when it's right in your own backyard and such a touchy topic.
Rant over. :ohmy:
