Bula as a standalone mine
Reynolds questioned whether the evidence showed that Bula could operate viably on its own. Collins said viability was a separate question to be addressed under Question No. 5.
I was thinking in terms of the amount of reserves. The Minister seems to be indicating that he will be considering other reports which deal with the liability of Bula as a separate and go-it-alone operation. Does the overwhelming evidence suggest that a go-it-alone operation for the mine is not viable?

That is a separate question. The question tabled relates to estimated ore deposits in the Bula mine. In that connection I am taking account of all the information available to me from the various sources.
