Florence Permit Info It is my belief, based on research into public documents, that Taseko is indeed in the final stages of the permit process. Some minor modifications to the existing permit were approved in October and December of last year:

I am not an expert on the process; however, my understanding is that the new permit would be based on the existing permit (with modifications).
Florence Copper falls within Region 9, and should be listed for public notice in the open comment portion before it is issued.
