August 4 NR says, in part:"Currently the permit application is under American Blue Gem & SteamCoal, LLC (ABGSC) (agreement signed August 2009). It is notable thatABGSC will allow NAG US to mine during the permit transfer process; theonly known delay to the commencement of mining will be the officialassignment of the operator, Kentucky Mine Partners LLC (KMP), whichtakes approximately 7-10 days. After the bond has been posted and theassignment of the operator is complete NAG US will begin mining at theNorth American Gem #3 Mine."
