This is all great news. Labor are in a corner now and they will at least change their no new mines policy in April. When the State Gov's put it into legislation, companies like SMM will have all the environmental and other regulatory application ready to go. In a reasonable time for those applications to be considered, the State authorities will give the green light which will allow BFSs to be completed, submitted, and mine dev to begin. Due to the advanced nature of the understanding of the deposits here (esp the IUJV with PDN), and their size, SMM should be able to race through this stage, and will more than likely have some very big players knocking down their door to assist them, or take them over. PDN, RIO, BHP, Mega, China! take your pick. No one has ever said that SMM is going to start mining immediately after the laws are changed. You would not have any understanding of the industry or this company if you did.bigdog said:The U news means very little except being wishful.
There is no Government support prior to the next election - John Howard stated this today
The greens have stated their objections today also
This one is far from being over the line; in fact the news is years away!
IMHO
