"The Company has not received a response from the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources ("MinAmb") to its June 16, 2008 appeal of the Director General of the Administrative Office of Permits at MinAmb denying its request for the Authorization to Affect Natural resources (the "Permit") for the Las Cristinas Project."

Does the fact that we have not heard regarding the appeal have any kind of time limitations? In other words, are the VZ off the hook after a certain time? Just confused.

TIA
