“Permitting mineral exploration or mining in Arizona just got a little clearer, due to the release of the Arizona Mining Permitting Guide, a comprehensive guide to the permitting process. The 187-page Arizona Mining Permitting Guide, a product of the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources, replaces the Arizona Mining Summit: Guide to Permitting Mining Operations of March 1999.
The guide should prove an essential tool for the mining community, from the largest international corporation, to junior mining companies, to the professional prospector.” Quoted from the Arizona Geological Survey press release.
