RE: RE: RE: RE: BenzdorpWell, that is fair enough, however it did come across like you were implying that Canarc has given up on Benzdorp, which they have not.
The problem with Suriname is the government is either helpful or they are not. They lack transparency but eventually they "get to it"... In my opinion the Minister of resources (Gregory Rusland) is a lazy *ss who wants to see more profits, but I am confident Canarc will eventually get their renewal.
As I understand they (Canarc) already had to re-submit their application because of some inconsistency, which further delayed the process.
Also, the Minister (Mr. Rusland) is on a mission, as stated by him in 2008, to "re-shape" the mining industry in Suriname which is likely further delaying things, however mining is approximately 90% of Suriname's total export... so it is unlikely they will rock the boat too much.
At any rate, I know there are other companies currently exploring in Suriname and they too are still waiting for renewals and have been for quite some time as well.
