So is this going to be a repeat of London Mining? Company comes in, makes fantastic promises, complains that people don’t trust them, then run away, leaving unpaid subcontractors, and zero effort to restore, or remediate, or rehabilitate the land they have wrecked. MML have already stopped paying some sub-contractors, what is the next step, negotiate a tax break from Government and then run away? It will be interesting to see what happens.
