Silvercorp is preparing a small mine permit application, hoping to receive it in early 2013. Baseline environmental, wildlife and archaeological data has been collected and compiled, and the project description including handling of waste rock, potentially acid generating tailings, wastewater and mineralized concentrates is nearing completion. Buildings, surface facilities, service roads, access roads and site services layout has been finalized and engineering drawings are being completed.
