For the newbies, that archaeological study was a real spanner in the works that held up permitting progress about 6 months! Such a relief to get that submitted.

Hopefully we get signoff from the heritage then enviro then mining agencies nice and quick and it'll be time to setup our pilot plant.

Apparently nobody wants to be seen as the one that is holding things up now that Bolsanaro is sacking anyone that is toeing the old obstructionist, socialist line. Great news for BBX.

Bolsonaro government launches purge of Brazil public service

Brasília: The administration of Brazil's new President Jair Bolsonaro said Thursday it is starting a purge of government contractors to get rid of those who don't share its far-right ideology.

The government "will clean the house," chief of staff Onyx Lorenzoni told a news conference after the first cabinet meeting with Bolsonaro, who took office this week."It's the only way to govern with our ideas, our concepts and to carry out what Brazil's society decided in its majority," he said.

The sweep will target contractors deemed sympathetic to the centrist and left-wing parties that have ruled Brazil for most of the period since the country shucked off military dictatorship in 1985.
