In reply to @Danehill (who has posted a reply to my comment under a separate topic heading), I have no doubt that, like everything else, the waters are a bit muddied around the customary heads and how many of them support SMLOLA. If you are able to provide a reference for your statement that most of them support SMLOLA then well and good. Nevertheless, if RTG is presenting a discussion and analysis of its involvement in the Panguna mine redevelopment it is a bit disingenuous to completely ignore the statements that have emerged from the customary heads; after all these have been at odds with SMLOLA and no doubt (if I have the chronology correct, it all seems so long ago) played into the decision by the ABG to declare a moratorium.
The other point I made is that it was a bit remiss not to state in the Management Discussion and Analysis what the basis for the BCL court action in Melbourne was; this as I understand from public statements goes to the relationship between RTG and P. Miriori. I would imagine that shareholders of RTG would be interested in this; after all they don't all follow the discussions on Hot Copper. Anyway it will come out in the wash (or not maybe) in due course.
