(1)-(2) Yes, the company complied with all the conditions it needed to prior to the commencement of operations at this project. Condition 15-1 of Ministerial Statement 753 requires that '
the proponent shall lodge with the CEO on demand prior to commencement of operations of the mine, an irrevocable Unconditional Performance Bond as nominated and approved by the CEO'
. The CEO did not demand or nominate the Bond prior to commencement of operations. The CEO has however now demanded and nominated the Bond and required that this be lodged by 29 April 2011.
