In January 2007, we upgraded part of 711CL to Category A as 724CL “Kai Tak development – investigation and detailed design for advance infrastructure works for developments at the southern part of the former runway”, at an estimated cost of $38.0 million in MOD prices, for engaging consultants to undertake the investigation and detailed design for advance infrastructure works to serve the planned developments at the southern part of the former runway.

In many cases, the government of the country in which a particular asset is located is the sole authority able to grant such rights and, in some cases, may have limited infrastructure and limited resources which may constrain the Group’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure title to individualexploration licences or extraction rights.

The Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the French Republic relating to the Explorationand Exploitation of Transboundary Hydrocarbon Fields, containing 21 articles and 6 annexes, recognizes the need for a common approach to oil and gas management to ensure the conservation and management of hydrocarbon resources that straddle the maritime boundary, to apportion between the two countries the reserves found in transboundary fields and to promote safety and the protection of the environment.

This assessment involves judgment as to: (i) the likely future commerciality of the asset and when such commerciality should be determined; (ii) future revenues based on forecasted oil and gas prices; (iii) future development costs and production expenses; (iv) the discount rate to be applied to such revenues and costs for the purpose of deriving a recoverable value, and (v) potential value to future E&E activities of any geological and geographical data acquired.

Furthermore, in the Special Declaration on Exploration of Non-renewable Natural Resources on the Argentine Continental Shelf of3August 2010, the Presidents of the States parties of MERCOSUR and associated States had rejected the exploration of non-renewable natural resources being carried out by the United Kingdom on the Argentine continental shelf, in violation of General Assembly resolution 31/49, and undertook to refrain from facilitating the activities of ships intended to provide support to activities involving drilling for hydrocarbons that would affect the rights of the Argentine Republic (see A/C.4/65/SR.2, paras. 16 and 17).

The objectives of Tonga Offshore Mining’s plan of work are to: (a) determine the most efficient and environmentally acceptable method to process and recover nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese from the polymetallic nodules, and define in what form these metals would report in a final product for sale, as well as the related capital and operating costs; (b) decide upon the optimum method to recover the material to surface with the minimum of environmental disturbance, as well as the related capital and operating costs; and (c) define what grade of nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese is required in the polymetallic nodules for economic extraction, and determine throughexploration what quantity and density of such material can be identified and delineated in the contract area.

The increased requirements for resources, e.g. groundwater, rare earth elements and heavy metals, have shown that science must operate in an environmentally conscious manner to mitigate the effects of explorationfor and exploitation of these resources.

In particular, since the CBD asserts the principle that nations have sovereignty over their natural resources, those industries that are interested in making use of genetic resources need to ensure that prospecting activities take place on the basis of prior informed consent, and agreements on benefit sharing.

The Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the French Republic relating to the Exploration and Exploitation of Transboundary Hydrocarbon Fields is a framework arrangement which does not contemplate a single unified regime but instead is a means to facilitate the requirements of French and Canadian legislation to be fulfilled for any transboundary field.
