You asked how to check on possibly existing permits, and I answered. You commented on the Jenkins appraisal and that discussion of permits had no place in an appraisal, which I disagreed with.

I'll try to do better with your next question - are there any conditions that would make for less stringent permitting? Yes. If they can show that the ore, the dumps, and any tailings they would create are all "inert", they might avoid most or all of the APP process. And don't forget the water they might pump out of the mine - it probably has some issues as well. "Inert" has very specific definition by statute.

I know what you are getting at - maybe they can use a dry process, and gravity separation to remove the gold? And try to avoid all the environmental permits? If the ore consisted of only quartz and gold, it might work. However, here is a list of minerals reported from the mine (Jenkins, 2010):

The entire shear zone tends to vary from 15’ to as much as 30’ in true width, containing native gold, silver chloride and sulphosalts, and copper oxides and sulphosalts in the zone of oxidation. Below the oxide zone metals of importance are pyrite,
chalcopyrite, galena, azurite, chrysacolla, bornite, and pyrargyrite.

Based on this list alone, they will have copper and lead for sure, and probably arsenic, cadmium, antimony and a whole host of other regulated heavy metals to deal with. And, sulfide means the potential for acid generation and acid mine runoff. They will have to sample the ore, the dumps, and the tailings using specific environmental test methods to show whether the stuff is inert. Extremely doubtful. And if not proven inert, the mining effort will fall into the APP Program.

Even without the environmental aspect, I don't see how they can start and finish an exploration program, rehabilitate the workings, create a second exit point to the mine, get all the other permits, all in 3-4 months.

Does that answer your question?
