Dear clients and subscribers

We forego the usual brief legal commentary in this, our final EnviroMac for 2013. In fact, if you are reading this, you should probably close your tablet or at least switch to your favourite e-book App!

But since you are, the Mining and Environmental team at MacRobert hope that you will have the opportunity to take a rejuvenating break and also wish that the new year brings all that you expect, hope and more.

Regards
Kenneth Cameron
