PEA PR is with QP, Tetra Tech. They just got it on Friday. Who knows how long, 12 people involved in final review. Then Teck, then IIROC. PEA 45 days after so it's not done.
I would guess PR is two weeks out at least. A month wouldn't surprise me at all.
permitting is what anyone is asking about on VD. The project was permitted in past some parts need updating. Desktop study was one of four rec's in the pea. Not sure how this fits into the $12m usd price tag and how far they need to go to derisk it. Didn't have any timeline on the desktop study. Clearly the board has met and decided VD needs more work. Desktop should inform that.
gotta be done right, no questions Yada yada...
