are they ready to go, page-37

Exactly the way I first read this. Then considering the logic of wanting to take this to the community shows the confidence Kuban has in wider support. 
It remains a little bewildering why the license was held back in the first place (supposedly based on ecological reasons). Andash Mining has been proactive in developing good relationships with the government and the community for a very long time. The company has also participated in an environmental impact assessment of transboundary issues with the government and community of Kazakhstan.

'The main purpose was to ensure that the local population were aware of the planned activities related to the Kyrgyz gold mining deposit “Andash” and its possible impact on the territory of Kazakhstan. More than 120 people participated in the hearings.Public hearings in Kyrgyzstan were organised by the Andash Mining Company with the company covering part of the costs in accordance with the Espoo Convention provi- sions. The immediate result of the public hearings was that the concerns of the community could be acknowledged and addressed by the Andash Mining Company. This will contribute to increasing the public acceptance of the mining project and the project’s long-term sustainability.'

At the end of the day it will be the ability of Kuban to sell the project based on the financial benefits to the community rather than any environmental concern!
