The Azurite claim is on private land, and the number of permits required is substantially lower. We still don't know what all additional information they have available on this claim, and until then we can't truly judge the accuracy of the time frame. We do know that they paid the initial payment of $50,000 for this agreement. I don't think they would waste that kind of money on an operation they didn't see as profitable.

Gold Coast has also made payment of the initial $50,000 required under the conditions of the Agreement.

SIRG near the end of the permitting process??? The PR only stated that they had accepted the MOP, not even approved it according to some of the posts over there. I'm not sure that qualifies as close to the end.
