The Reporting & Progress to date is a vast improvement on what was seen under the former Board IMO :)
Completely Agree nztx.
Working in oil and gas industry (similar) the hoops, hurdles, red tape and compliance is a massive drag. What should and would normally take a week takes months and as soon as someone has to sign it off you can double it.
Sadly NZ has way too many wet behind the ears people in roles that have neither the nonuse, experience or balls to be there.
NTL in the news.

NZ is struggling as a country, you are so right NZ has to many people working in areas that are wet behind the ears , scared to make a decision and want to be seen as politically correct . Forgetting that taxes come from investment taxes build lifestyles and keep countries running.
Thanks Daytr. One hopes that Catherine remembers that taxes are needed to pay her pension and the group's unemployment benefits or is she happy to forgo this? It is comforting to know we have a very experienced Board and as in the past NTL with their consents in place were well supported by the police.
This article has made it to the (front page) of the local paper as well now.
I will say that the local feelings against mining in the Coromandel are loud, strong, and fairly well organised. It is something that can't be overlooked. I mean every second car there drives around with a "Coromandel no mining" bumper sticker. But much like those F*CK 1080" ones I suspect a lot of people have them for a fashion accessory as much as anything else. I was having a chat to a young man in his ute once who had a massive one across his windscreen. I asked about it and he told me "Yeah mate that 1080 stuff should be banned, look at all those forests destroyed and people killed in the Vietnam war from it." It was tempting but I decided to smile and walk away instead.
