I've often thought, why would the government release the mining law before the Windfall Tax issue was settled as it pertains to mining. Yes we all would love to see the law made public but the uncertainty with the WFT would remain. Logic would dictate that the government wants to remove that level of uncertainty first. I would think that the mining companies have been pushing for this as well.

Below I have attached another excerpt which says tomorrow they will be discussing tax issues.

"Tomorrow will reinstate the plenary of the Assembly to deal with some bills that are pending the agency, as a responsible legislating.

Revise proposal on the Transitional Regime and knowledge and resolution of the draft basic law Reform and interpreted in the Internal Tax System Law, the Law on Tax Equity Act and the Rules of the electricity sector."
