Can another company or individual seek a permit within that same area to prospect or mine? Cheers- Andy

My opinion is go for gold mate . The owner of prospect permit won't be bothered as I know guys that have delt through him get in them hills and get your search on :)

I have done it a number of times for myself and others. Most are forthcoming. Happy to help with a letter. You could take some guidance from one in this link: http://golddredgingforum...om/thread/634/glassearth My field is the RMA, and NZ regulation. Happy to help out any hobby miner get what they are after..
