Spanky:. Fraser River is in British Columbia, Canada, NOT THE USA.
CEO Leopold was fortunate to acquire this Placer Mining Site and the JV Partnership, but the permission to begin mining requires an approval by Canada so respect this with temperateness toward their authority. It is their Country, NBRI is a guest.
Like it or not, a few months is reasonable while forever is a very long time and NBRI owns more valuable Canadian sites. JMHO
