dc.description.abstractEL 28885 is held by Rum Jungle Resources to explore for potash brine, rock potash or other evaporites. This EL and the smaller contiguous EL 27933 constitute Rum jungle Resources' Angas Downs Project. EL 28885 is entirely on private NT Por 620 held by Angas Downs as Perpetual Pastoral Lease. This Station is an Indigenous Protected Area under Commonwealth legislation granted on 10 June 2009 as part of the Australian Government's Caring for our Country scheme. The property forms part of Australia's National Reserve System. The Traditional Owners wish to use Angas Downs as a homeland. Rum Jungle Resources Ltd met with the manager of Angas Downs Station in 2011 and 2012 (as per any PPL), but he was not in a position to grant access and referred the matter to the CLC. On 10/08/2011, the CLC acknowledged RUM's application for access and said that a formal Native Title Agreement was required. Organising an on-country meeting involving all the relevant Traditional Owners proved difficult and could not be organised by the CLC until 14/03/2013. Despite this positive on-country meeting and despite numerous approaches thereafter, the CLC took until January 2014 to get back to Rum Jungle Resources. The CLC insisted on Rum Jungle Resources signing a separate confidentiality agreement before providing a draft formal access agreement. The draft access agreement imposed much more onerous conditions on Rum Jungle Resources than previous CLC agreements and in the opinion of Rum Jungle Resources usurped many of the roles of DME. The details of the draft agreement have to remain confidential. Rum Jungle Resources refused to enter into such a one-sided agreement on what according to DME is PPL and, as such, requires no agreement. Rum Jungle Resources is proposing to carry forward its work program yet again in the hope that some resolution may be reached. If not, Rum Jungle Resources may have to surrender the entire Angas Downs Project without ever having been able to set foot on the ground. This will be at considerable cost, most of which is non-admissible expenditure for DME reporting purposes.en_US
