Although Rusoro states they received the "authorization to affect Natural Resources" and the pr says "With the permitting process completed the Company will now accelerate surface activities at the project" and "The permit is the final step in the permitting process toward the commencement of mining activities at Increible 6".

GRZ had received the "authorization to Affect Natural Resources in 2007. They said this in a pr in Feb 2008:

2007 was a landmark year for the Company's Brisas gold copper project achieving a

number of positive milestones as we continue the advancement of the Brisas project

towards production. The primary milestone of 2007 was the receipt of the Permit to

Affect Natural Resources from the Venezuelan Ministry of the Environment which

enabled us to begin the construction process at the Brisas Mine. We now are awaiting the

Initiation Act to commence full-scale construction. There were also many other

milestones and positive events that were achieved that continued the advancement of the

Brisas project towards production.
