you stated.

...just getting permission to drill on someone's land can take several months by the sounds of it. The have to comply eventually, but it can take time if they refuse to sign immediately.

Can you elabortate further? Who is the main owner of this land? Gov't? First Nations? Homestead?

I'm sure many of us who have invested in mining companies over the years are aware of the challenges that face such companies in dealing with the land owners. Not that they are bad, they all want the same as us. Their land is like having shares and they just want the best value and for some that means perserving the land.

Therefore managments relations with these groups or even individuals becomes very important and must be handled respectfully. So was there much discussion on this area and how things were progressing or any potential road blocks?

Thanks
