Baloney. There are operating gold mines all over the state of AZ. Do some DD. What does it matter if they are not next door neighbors to ILST. BLM has no problems whatsoever granting permits for gold mining or any other kind of mining in AZ. Some of the most productive and polluting copper mines in the world are in AZ. Permitting is a slam dunk and not an issue. Bardswich would not have signed on if this was an issue. He came on board because he knows this one is a winner. So, you bashers keep it up and maybe you might get some shares, but the board has your number. Zero credibility from you guys.
