Prime Minister Dean Barrow and Deputy Prime Minister Gaspar Vega have come back into the picture to help mediate towards a positive resolution.

In the meantime, both parties will go back and discuss the proposals, then decide to meet later with their respective recommendations.

On Tuesday, BSI issued a brief press release announcing that it had completed its annual repairs and is now ready to commence milling once a date is agreed upon by all parties.

No date has been set for another round of discussions but the entities explained that they are both conscious of time constraints and so they will seek to accelerate the process.
