Bad luck to be about to receive a permit at the same time as a administration change.

this thing getting political is my great concern. That has to be handled through PR. I still do not think that Taseko is selling Florence as a "green" way of mining. They are talking about it, but it needs to be marketed. They actually need to hire a PR company and run advertising. this will do two things. It will influence regulators by putting Florence more on the environmental side of the political spectrum. It will also garner investor interest. A LOT of people invest environmental values as much as dollar value.
There is another potential result, it could remake Taseko's Canada image. The FN against the big bad miner scenario has not worked out well for Taseko so far.
YOu do not run a PR campaign through 45 minute power point productions. PR is done with 5-10 videos on youtube, instagram etc. It is done through 1 minute TV and radio ads, in magazines and elsewhere. All of it needs to focus on ONE thing. Not profitibility, not all the pipelines, not company history. It has to focus on the future need for copper because of EV's and the phasing out of fossil fuels and the GREEN process Taseko has for meeting that huge need. Hammer JUST the environmental aspect of what this mine is.
