Not all of them have to be done in order. Lab should be the longest wait. Aerial photos may be done already. Design plan should be nothing more than a certification that the area is ok to use. (Possibly some bulldozing or just a little grading.) Nothing to really build. I don't think a contract is correct. CGFIA then needs to submit the final plan to the DRMS. The cease and desist order could be removed, but production can't start without the dry stacking approval.
The stock price will rise on mill approval. Even without production starting, the value of the company goes up with the "asset" of the approved mill.
IMHO
CGFIA
I just hang out here for the fun of it, that
doesn't mean I'm smart.
