My Department has met with representatives from Tamboran Resources on a number of occasions, one of which such meetings I attended. These meetings are normal practice in the on-going engagement between my Department as regulator and the holders of exploration authorisations. The most recent meeting took place earlier this month when the company provided my Department with a detailed update on its technical assessment of the petroleum resource potential of the area, as required under the terms of its Licensing Option.
