Magowl...the important part of the article hinges on the clarifying quotes. Yes....the author fell into the common trap of mischaracterizing the legal arrangement that KRY has as a mine operator rather than owner. Assuming the quotes are accurate....I feel this is very good news. My two fears have been the timeline (will we be still be alive when the permit is issued) and th possibility that Hugo will get greedy and try to revise the M.O.A. prior to issuing the permit. The time concern vanishes more every day as we see Sanz working with the gold miners in the area. This article makes me feel a whole lot more warm and fuzzy that the permit will be issued with the terms of the M.O.A. "as is". To me that translates into $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...
