As far as the discussion that has gone on for years about the Vens having to start over with the mine, this has been on my mind for a very long time and I feel it's time for me to express it. But first I must add, this is only my opinion and I can't prove it out.

I believe that, much like a builder who is applying for a permit to build a single house or housing development. All structure plans and related geological engineering data are submitted with the application to the permitting entity. Therefore, I am not convinced that a certain VZ government agency or agencies doesn't have what is needed to pick up and start the ball rolling at LC in a very short time frame. The milling equipment can be produced while the mine is being built. Give or take a year of so, given the time it takes to get the mine online.

So, arb is the right direction. That way the VZ government can pay us in gold, when we win.

Once again, just my simple observation and opinion.
