Adjournment Matter. - Mining Leases.
SRK Consultants from Britain recommended a whole list of remediation works for Mogul Ireland to undertake. That report was published a year ago today. A commitment was given to the local community that there would be no delay in expediting clause K; that as soon as the necessary legal framework was drawn up, a legal order would be served on Mogul Ireland requiring it to carry out the work. A year later, it appears we are no closer to seeing clause K of the mining lease being expedited. In other words, we are no nearer to seeing the tailings pond rehabilitated or the other sites cleaned up.
