MARATHON RESOURCES

The Hon. M. PARNELL (15:05): I have a supplementary question following that answer. When will that investigation be finalised, and will the minister release the report to the public?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (15:05): I actually tabled the summary the other week. The department is currently still seeking information from the company in relation to one particular matter. I understand that the drill rigs have now moved off Mount Gee—I think three of them have left the Arkaroola area and the other one is preparing to leave shortly—and that is all stock completed, but there remains the issue of dealing with the disposal of the material. We are also still seeking information from the company in relation to damage to the fluorite vein within the geological monument, and that investigation will continue.
