Two Year Anniversary for “Apology” Here is a little tidbit from Goldquest website. As you can see nothing has really changed, with the exception that a Dominican is now in charge and seems to be a lot more engaged. There has been zero movement by the "pro mining" Abinader Government, maybe another apology in our future? I really believe that there are other issues at play here, other posters agree. "Speed up the process" , totally laughable.
All Goldquest is looking for is an Environmental permit which is their right by law. Why can't we get it? Why won't Abinader sign it? Is it to slowly bleed the bank account? Are there unscrupulous moves and shenanigans behind the scenes? It certainly is starting to look that way. I never thought I would be in the camp of go elsewhere or take them to court, but enough is enough.
