RE: RE: just a rule of thumbFrom September, 23, 2009 NR:
"As a result of the successful negotiation to acquire the North American Gem Mine #1, the decision was made to add acreage to mining permit application # 861-0502 and will result in an overall increase in size of the mining project. "
So I think this entailed a modification to the original permit application. It is hard to decide who is at fault for tardiness; NAG's inability to complete the necessary paperwork, or red tape on the part the KY permit office. I would say both.
With the recent hiring of Ms. Moses and Mr. Grable, I certainly think NAG should now have the expertise
to expedite the permitting process more efficiently.
