Hey froggie....I'm sick of the crap too. I'm sure everybody on this board has had more than a bellyfull. All they have to do is say "yes". What's the big deal? At this rate they'll award the permit when gold is trading back down at $300\ounce and it is no longer profitable to mine it. Look at the bright side...if we had gotten the permit 6 months ago we would have made a fortune as gold moved above $1000\ounce. Hey...wait a minute...that's not very bright :o(
