Not sure what you mean by a "moment of weakness", but the post of mine that you found was before I had seen any permits. Turns out that a permit for exploration using non mechanized means (i.e. hand-dug test pits) was issued to Michael Chaffee (not WSRA or GDSM) in early May of this year. They do NOT have a permit for mining which was my concern because some GDSM posters were trying to make the case that mining was imminent. I knew that permits to mine were not a quick process and did not believe that mining was imminent.

I stand by that. Mining is not imminent on the Gold Crown claim (320 acres), and in fact, I am even more sure that mining is not imminent now that I know where they are with their exploration process, which is not far. They will have to submit another exploration permit to do deeper sampling, which requires roads to the sample locations. In turn, that will require archaeological surveys and endangered species studies, which take time. GDSM/WSRA is a minimum of a year from any kind of mining, if not more.

And now that I have a clearer understanding of the State permitting process, I know that the ASLD will review their exploration results very carefully and if they cannot make the case that there is an economic deposit there, the State will not issue them a mining permit.

Did you know that only one gold mine is currently permitted on State land in Arizona? It is a very small placer operation in Stanton (Rich Hill), and I am told they are actually recovering some decent gold. However, my point is that the State of Arizona does not take these gold plays lightly and issue permits without credible and reliable data being submitted to them.
