waiting for permits to be granted, page-75

Yes Jaded, "public service delay" is not a bad way to put it.

It is true that until title is granted no serious ground disturbing work can take place, however, it is possible to obtain approval for a field visit to licence areas before title is issued, as was evidenced by the site visit that Geo-Consult International ZA conducted for TON as part of the DD process, this visit would have required official approval.

It is also not out of the question to obtain permission to recover some rock chip samples for export/analysis during a field visit before title is issued.

On a Time Line from Approval to Sample Analysis Results, this can depend on many things, but yes 2/3 months would be possible.
