Completion of rehabilitation and related work on EL4355 in accordance with instructions from the SA Government
Following the SA Government’s decision to ban exploration and mining in the Northern Flinders Ranges, the Government provided instructions in September 2011 to Marathon in relation to the company’s obligations under the terms and conditions of EL 4355 with particular emphasis on site rehabilitation and related activities. This work commenced in the reporting period, and was completed (subject to Government site inspection scheduled for May 2012).
Settlement of legal action against the South Australian Government
As reported to the ASX on 13 February this year, the South Australian Government agreed to pay Marathon $5 million in compensation as a goodwill payment in relation to the Government's proposed ban on mining at Arkaroola in the Northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia. As a consequence of the agreed payment, the Directors of Marathon have ceased Supreme Court litigation against the Government and the matter has been settled.
Review of potential future opportunities
Marathon is utilising the compensation funds to undertake due diligence on a number of potential new projects in Australia and overseas. Your Board and management have been robust in researching & investigating projects of interest, and have received a number of strategic opportunities from interested parties. Shareholders will be advised as soon as possible of the Company’s plans.
