A PETROLEUM production licence - which would see Metgasco begin extracting commercial quantities of coal-seam gas from its Richmond Valley leases - has still not been granted more than 12 months after the com-pany applied for it.
Petroleum production licence number nine was lodged with the Department of Primary industries by the company in December 2009.
It is understood the hold-up relates to a Native title claim covering an area where Metgasco has leases.
The Northern Star asked the department to provide details of any Native title considerations relating to the application.
However, it would not provide any specific information.
