The PermitA couple of points ... 1) I hear a lot of talk about when we might get the permit, but not much about why we have got this far without getting a refusal. Surely the DR government would have refused us by now if they felt it wasn't a good idea ? So the fact we haven't been refused is surely very positive and the balance of probabilities says we are likely to be successful ? 2) Why all the fuss about this particular permit ? GQC needs at least one more before any mining can start. If I were the President, I would grant this permit straight away, to show the DR is open for business. They can always sit on their hands for the environmental stage anyway. Am I missing something ?
