RE:RE:permitI don't think anyone is saying they're sitting on the permit. Rather, they may have been givin a heads up from the EPA. I have doubted that all along and continue to believe they remain at the whim of a governmental agency that doesn't give a hoot about what they want. Governmental agencies flat out blow azz. Taseko management is playing a waiting game in which they have very little control. At some point they may have to hit the Court system. No doubt that's the last thing they want. The best thing for Taseko to do now is efficient planning for the construction process. Lots to do on that front. They should be ready to hit the ground running once everything needed permit wise is in place. As has been noted before, it's not the end of the world waiting for the permit because they can amass more funds along the way, thereby quashing any need for a JV partner. The glass remains more than half full.
