The fourth quarter of 2017 was particularly active and it's timely to provide another informal update on recent events and also outline our plans for 2018.  \n\nEvents of note include:\n\nInternational Meetings\n\nIn late September Chatham Rock Phosphate delivered two keynote addresses at the Underwater Mining Conference hosted by the International Marine Minerals Society, this year held in Berlin. \n\nChatham CEO Chris Castle updated the scientists, marine miners, sector investors and other industry players attending the conference from 25 countries on the company's present status and forward plans. \n\nHis address, the central theme of this being that Chatham remains on track to re-submit a marine consent application, was warmly received. \n\nHis address was followed by a well-received presentation from Renee Grogan, Chatham's recently appointed project manager and leader of its proposed marine consent reapplication. Renee is also a director of the World Oceans Council.  Her central theme was the necessity for inter-industry collaboration between those already working in the world oceans and proposed new entrants.   \n\nIt is the seventh year Chatham - one of the most advanced marine mining projects in the world - has updated the marine mining industry on progress. Chatham has held a granted mining licence since December 2013 and plans to apply for a marine consent in the fourth quarter of 2018.\n\nAttendance at the conference was followed by meetings in The Netherlands with Boskalis and Deltares. Both have worked with Chatham for several years on developing the phosphate extraction technology, as well as measuring and targeting the minimisation of possible environmental impacts. \n\nRare Earths Research\...
