If the small miners are really the roadblock, politically & physically, why not devise a plan with CVG and Small miners whereby a site close to LC is given to them. Kry, after extracting the gold gives them the copper tailings. The 10's of millions of pounds of copper at $3.50 a pound sounds like a pretty good way to make a living. CVG or another dept to oversee the operation. Chavez & Sanz are the hero's and Kry again contributes to the betterment of the VZ people. When the copper issue 1st came up, I seem to remember some form of this talked about.
