hi krazikiwi

did you buy an existing claim or did you take out a mining permit by yourself, the reason i ask is that im trying to get an estimate as to how much it costs to get a minning permit on a piece of water that has no permit on it already, i know what the actual permit would cost but im guessing the survey and legal docs that are needed to support the permit would be a massive expence, not to mention iwi?, doc, rma etc

thanks
