Would be nice if they gave us an update, even if short. Especially since they thought it warranted an announcement.

The Public Hearings are the forum where the local communities and other key stakeholders can formally contribute
to the approvals process by making suggestions and expressing their view about the project. The Public Hearings
are the last step in the LP process, which in turn is the most important step in the environmental approval process
for any major project development in Brazil. After the LP is received from SEMAS, the Company will apply for the
Installation License (LI), the grant of which will allow the project build to begin.

It might depend on how many and how significant the suggestions about the project are? They would have to go pretty close to ensuring the suggestions were going to be implemented. Are other stakeholders some relevant green group who doesn't like mining? Maybe.

Maybe the next ann will be the LP being received from SEMAS.

In such a prolific mining district you'd expect the red and green tape processes to be relatively smooth, unless there's indigenous or national park issues, which there aren't in this case.
