SIRG has been negotiating the permitting process for over a year and we are getting close to the permits being approved.

I have watched other companies go through the process and it has taken many of them close to 2 yrs so SIRG is doing well.

If this were a new copper mine - none of us would be here as a new mine is taking 5-10 yrs to get permitting and producing. None of us would tie our money up for that long.
