Protestors have spent their fourth night blockading an AGL coal seam gas drilling site at Gloucester on the mid-north coast of NSW.
They say they'll remain there despite AGL last night agreeing to back down.
AGL says it will suspend operations until an independently peer reviewed hydrogeological study has been completed and made public .
Chairperson of the protestors, Graeme Healy, says they're pressing ahead with a legal challenge to the project, despite the concessions.
"It's a significant concession by AGL, but let's be mindful they haven't agreed to our fundamental demand for an independent ground water study," he said.
"They've acknowledged they haven't met our demand and this will be the subject of ongoing negotiations."
