Permitting is not going to be as big a problem as you are making it. The entire country is in debt and California leads all states in deficits. And permits HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST. PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST.
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Jan. 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Timberline Resources Corporation (OTCBB:TBLC) today announced the receipt of necessary permits to proceed with exploration and drilling at its Conglomerate Mesa Project in Inyo County, California. The project hosts structurally and stratigraphically controlled, sediment-hosted gold mineralization similar to the "Carlin-type" deposits of north-central Nevada. Timberline management believes that Conglomerate Mesa represents one of the premier gold exploration projects remaining within the Great Basin province of the western United States.
So your continued posts about permitting are pretty much useless.
