I beleive we got caught up in political red tape. The vilcoro permit was submitted at the same time as ours, theirs has been received so yeah, ours should be any day. I know this is not answering your questions but it is the best I can offer. I know the geo was responsible for submitting the claims for the new properties but unsure who was responsible for submitting the permit application. I dont think the fault lies with WHO submitted the permit application but rather with the unforeseen political red tape. This will be the 3rd permit received for the Tesoro so far and there are no indications that it will not be granted this time.
