RE:RE:CCB Mining Approval The location and edges of demarkation between value ore and waste will define the eventual pit extents. It isn't a blank cheque to be issued by CPTAQ, it has definition and so does the permit and the permit is only for the extents as measured and surveyed.
Should addition ore be encountered during mine operations it would require an application to CPTAQ for additional ground and the process repeats. MERN issues the actual permit to mine, CPTAQ alows for mining on the approved land as an alternate activity to agriculture.
