Gravelle: 'Have NO expectation that what will be announced will have any impact on the ROF but rather on new future mining procedures.'
So no road announcement this year.

Funkey: 'Some forecast a blockade by FN of the road'?
I have not seen any such thing.
For myself, I say that they could repeat with a blockade, but not just a road but all access, just like last time.
And it is likely by the very people who feel they are entitled to benefits beyond the road, training and jobs.

As you say road makes just about every thing possible so why are they stalling on that 4 community study, particularly when it is paid for by the government. All they need is to provide their input. The three that did should gang up on the fourth to roll up it's sleeves and do it.
