"On May 22, 2015, the Company received a Regional Exploration Permit from the provincial government and will consider further exploration opportunities as available financing allows"

So they are seriously considering exploration at this time.

I am surprised and at the same time disappointed because imho the company should be saving it's monetary energies on construction of the Eagle mine.

Could it be that if things are further delayed this is a fall back position to maintain share value.

If so then cudos to company for hedging it's bets. Ed.
