There isn't at Rosemont either.  I would not suggest that this news will mean that Hay Mountain's progress will have to cease, probably not.  I liken the situation to Chubut Province in Argentina.  They outlawed all new mining but still issue exploration permits and, strangely, still encourage mining exploration.  However, since this happened about 20-years ago, applications for exploration permits have dropped to nearly nothing. 

Chubut is rich in minerals, including uranium and precious metals.  They could well have the largest, richest silver deposit ever found.  However, the elites there do not want their scenic views disrupted by mining, even if there is little chance that they could ever see it without difficulty.

All I'm saying is, risk at Hay Mountain has gone up.  By what measure, I don't know.  You decide.

Oh, and welcome aboard as a new user here.
