I refer to the Fourth Annual Kimberley Energy and Resources Development Conference held on 9 and 10 May 2011 at the Cable Beach Club Resort, Broome, and answers to question on notice No. 4548 answered on 27 September 2011, and I ask -
(1) Is the Minister aware that Rey Resources Ltd stated in their reports to the ASX that they are looking at developing a 55 square kilometre Myroodah target for coal gasification?
(2) If yes to (1), why was this not included in the answer to part (6) of answers to question on notice No. 4548?
(3) If no to (1), why was the Minister or his department not aware of these investigations by Rey Resources Ltd?
