Good morning Salty and SIRG longs.
It appears that SIRG will not receive the EA approval soon from the government agents at BLM Kingman and there is nothing Rod can do to "fast track" the process. SIRG is held hostage by these government bureaucrats.
The process can be tracked here:

Our project has not been on this website in the past but is finally showing up. We can see that it was recorded on July 27, 2012 as previously posted.
DOI-BLM-AZ-C010-2012-0055-EA | Mining Plan of Operations for Sierra Resource Group, Inc.'s Chloride Copper Mine | PD Lands | 7/27/2012 | EA in Progress | Paul Misiaszek |
It is now clear that the mine will not be opening in the 1st quarter of next year so all we can do is wait.This is very frustration to all of us as the mine is a pre-existing mine and the effects on the environment are already a known factor. Further there is another open pit copper mine operating less than 3 miles away and the environmental effects will be the same as their operation only smaller.
