It is just wrong to say the permit is in the bag. It is not. The regulator has approved the works, the paperwork and has issued the licence SUBJECT TO a public consultation.
That public consultation relates only to the way water is moved, used and stored. The area in which GWMO operates is incredibly remote. It is not as if the processing plant is next to someone's garden. That simple fact means that public views or objections may be less likely. Even if there are public objections, the regulator themselves (NDEP) can probably deal with them because they have approved the plant.
So it is a rational conclusion to decide that although the permit is not finalised it is highly probable/very likely that the full permit will be issued eventually.
We also know timescales and if there are no public views expressed the permit will be issued in just over 3 weeks. Production will start and tiny mcap GWMO will be producing and generating income.
All of which makes the share price activity since the news broke very interesting. The volume has been enormous. Someone is taking a position. And this hiatus while we wait for the public consultation to end is the PI's opportunity, IMHO.
GWMO is an obvious buy, IMHO. Not one for the widows and orphans, still risks including operational (ie. Stuff happens/breaks). But just on production starting the mcap will go up significantly. Then we have the gold and silver proving up and the Hail Mary prospect of a copper JV.
Risk/reward very good here.
