2. The minimum emission standards came into effect in April 2015.

3. Have any of Northam’s operations been inspected by the DEA, DWS, DMR, and/or provincial or municipal authorities for air quality, water and/or environmental compliance in the past financial year?  If so, what were the findings of those inspections?
