On Budget and on Time?
GWR has no immediate plans to start development of the WWIOP; however, these approvals position the company to derive maximum value from the project through the commodity price cycle. No activities other than care and maintenance are envisaged, with expenditure exemptions under the Mining Act currently in place.
