Who knows - we must be close. The archaeological report was supposed to be submitted 2 weeks ago so we could already have environmental signoff. The mining licence is waiting for the environmental signoff so the former should follow the latter in a short timeframe.
I think holders might be more keen to know when the SP is going to kick off more than by how much. The SP will kick off when will the broader investment community grasp what we have: The assay results to demonstrate the resource potential (tonnes and grade) and as mentioned in The Australian, the gold bar to prove we have a process to exploit that resource are the key.
Assays results could arrive anytime as we had a decent process in November. So we could have the mining permit this month and first assays by the end of Feb-March. The next ANN will give us a much better idea where we're at....................
