NR 127 includes -

Because of modern permitting requirements, we must have an archaeological survey performed along our proposed access roads and drill sites to ensure we are not destroying any antiquities. We have engaged an archaeological contractor to perform this required service for us. We will then seek permits for all of the holes, even though we will only drill five to 10. This is necessary to have freedom of movement to move to a location dictated by discovery made in the previous drill hole. If we do not permit numerous holes in advance, we would waste months of time in continuously working on additional permits, and continuously demobilizing and mobilizing drill rigs. The permitting process is estimated to take 30 to 60 days.

This is unclear to me if the time estimate was refering to the archaeological survey or the total process.
