I have just been checking how long it took for the most recent company to get their permit approved.Tinka resources just recently got their permit on jan 26. I went to sedar and looked at news releases to get a time frame for them. In their MD&A of july, they had just got this property straightened out from where they optioned it from another company.

In their financial statement of Jan/2011, but for period ending sept 30, they say that the permit process was already started for this property. So, apparently they started their permitting process somewhere between July and Sept last year. That would put them in the same time frame as us, so we should be close.

They received their approval on Jan 26 and put out their NR today saying they got their permit. Once you are approved, it takes a few days to a week to pay for and get your drill permit.

The approval site shows the last being approved on jan 26, a week ago. They have been typically approving 2-3 a week and this site may not be updated til Fri night. So, at this point in time, its possible there may have been 2-3 more approvals.

We may be next or one of those 2-3!!!
