Rook, sorry if i miss lead you, yes a complete facility ( mill ) would require permitting along with all other permits. ( WATER HYDRO, BUILDING ). Looking at how San has 20,000 tns already sitting on the ground waiting to go through the Mill, then whats management thinking here i do not know. I just like to think into Sans future as this helps me to make financial decissions. San well be able to feed the 1800 tn Mill just from the Pac Man style of mining not counting on the first shaft at depth which is higher grade. Lets not forget here that San has not mention down below the D shaft and ramping below the 5400 ft where large veins hold treasure chest.. San should in my opinion get the ball rolling here and start mining and get prepared for future growth and quit feeding the Bay St, bunny"s. with out prejudice.Traps7
