Dunno, looked into the approvals couple of weeks ago, and think they are just part of the story. Interestingly, I thought the vegetation removal was approved but the schedule says its outstanding. I actually talked to the person who gave the approval and they said it was clear.

Anyway, they shouldn't be too much of a problem as they are just amendments to existing approvals and I doubt any would be refused as they just continue the existing operations. Just the normal to and fro - the bigger and relocated leach pads and their design is new though and the authorities likely applying new (higher) design standards.

As I said earlier, delays in finance likely to be a silver lining. Goldman Sachs, who are copper bulls, talking about the days of $3 copper being gone.

Cheers
