#No.50 🎙️ Public Inquiry -Week 2 in Review 25th April 2026

🔍 Key Issues This Week:

• ❗ No current feasibility study underpinning the project
• 📊 Economic case based on unseen data and a “spreadsheet” not available to the public
• 💰 Gold valuation claims not adding up — major gaps between industry norms and projections
• 🏛️ Department for Infrastructure under pressure over process, preparedness, and oversight
• ⚖️ Public inquiry fairness questioned — limited time, delayed topics, restricted participation
• 📉 Only 23 of 155 questions answered — progress slower than expected
• 🧾 Missing and incomplete documentation across environmental and economic areas
• 🌍 Unclear environmental impact — gaps in carbon data, waste planning, and long-term risk
• 🔄 Confusion over what’s actually being mined — gold vs multiple minerals
• 💼 Local economic benefit unclear — profits expected to leave the region

🚨 What This Means:

• A process that appears under strain
• Key decisions being discussed without full information
• Growing concerns around transparency, accountability, and public trust
