Ann: Water Permit Granted - Riqueza, page-59

Perhaps the Alpacas in Boot Camp need to know a little of the little I know about permitting in Peru.

The drill permit is the king - and you have to use it more or less as applied for - and you can only have one permit at a time (please correct if necessary)

So if you want to change tack and drill on another part of the tenement you have to relinquish the undrilled meters and apply again.
Inca had to confront this situation when S32 first came on board. (from my memory, again please correct)

When you have the drill permit - all other permits are automatic, as the Company has said several times - The delay for the water permit here has been due to the influence of covid on the bureaucratic process, which struggles at the best of times.

Al's friends need to know that Peru has the worst bout of covid sickness anywhere - so we should make allowances and stop acting like spoilt little baby packers.

Take heart though that where we are working in Peru, the effect of covid should IMO be minimised as result of remoteness.
