2 excerpts from this a.m.'s article stand out to me.

"For it, civil servants of the ministries of the Atmosphere and Basic Industries and Mining stay reunited to define the coordinates in which the open-cast mineral operation will be allowed."

(They are still trying to define the boundries for open pit mining so this isn't all cut and dry yet)

"The Ministry of Environment will continue to deny permits to exploit
gold in the national territory to private companies while
establishing the new economic model that govern mining in the
country."

(M of E is denying permits WHILE new economic model is established which sounds like to me once established permitting will resume)
