I refer to this statement by Buru Energy Ltd in their latest Quarterly Report (Dec 2022), “As part of the continuing work on the commercialisation of the Rafael discovery, Buru entered into an agreement with Transborders Energy, to conduct a pre-feasibility study for a Kimberley-based compact marinised Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant solution.”, and I ask: (a) has Buru advised the Department of Mining Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) in any way, including via meetings, correspondence or otherwise, of its plans to locate a marinised or Floating Liquified Natural Gas (FLNG) processing facility on the Kimberley coast and pipe gas from its Rafael deposit to the FLNG facility; and (b) if yes to (a), when and in what ways has Buru advised the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety of its plans?
