"This is an all-important first phase of the mine permitting process that will run in parallel with the environmental data collection and our continued exploration/development of the Grassy Mountain Project. As part of this phase, DOGAMI and the Company will prepare a permitting process timeline." said Bill Wagener President & CEO. The Company is extremely pleased with the active response and cooperation it has received from all the governing agencies regarding the Grassy Mountain Project.
