EnviroMac Newsletter: ISSUE 19 / NOVEMber 2014

Dear clients and subscribers

Another year has come and gone. During 2014 legislative developments abound in the fields of environmental and mining law, no doubt, all with good intent. 2015 will be the year of reckoning for many of these changes and we look forward to partner with you once more in protecting and developing your ventures in this new legal paradigm.

We wish you all a restful holiday season.

Kind regards
Kenneth Cameron
