Are the guidelines for achieving such approvals not clearly outlined by the provincial / federal governments (including Newfoundland) as to what was/is required to attain such approval?"........
Yes, i thought that odd given VP Regulatory and Gov Affairs, J. Powell's long experience with permitting mining projects in NL! He has / had a good relationship with the regulators and certainly knows the NL system as well as anyone.
