Sorry,

My involvement with PTFI was in 1996-98 as a verifier to its  Environmental 
Audit. I never knew this contract between PTFI and Papua and probably would 
not care either-as an  environmental scientist.

I would leave it to the lawyers (which may complicate the issue even 
further). I think PT FI case is one of the most complicated (therefore damn 
interesting) case in our natural resource management. I wish I could go back 
to school and do a degree in environmental/resources law.
