As you are aware, the above mentioned tenements are being held for rehabilitation purposes. Extensive rehabilitation investigation, monitoring and implementation activities have occurred during the reporting period. From a monitoring perspective this has included a downstream aquatic monitoring program, terrestrial rehabilitation monitoring and a soils and sediment monitoring and investigation process. Considerable land management activities continue to occur on the site including activities associated with weed control, fire management, boundary fencing and security activities and the control of feral animals. A substantial earthworks program is still underway on the site to improve the drainage and rehabilitation performance on the site. All of the above is outline in the annual MMP which was provided to the DPIFM at the end of June in 2007 which reported on activities over the previous period and forecast activities going forward from that date. However, no mining activities have been carried out during the above mentioned reporting periods. Thus, there is nothing to report in respect to Section 79(2)(b) of the Mining Act.
