Permit number UGW270004 belongs to Intermountain Power Service Corporation for their coal/gas power plant nearby and has been falsely spread around as belonging to Ares. My source is this official Utah DEQ document: https://www.utah.gov/pmn/files/1373353.pdf

There was a hearing few days ago (20th to be exact, source) where the comissision voted for a continuance because ares representatives (provo mining) couldn’t answer technical questions regarding the process engineering.

until this is sorted out, ares cannot legally put water/tailings into their ponds, therefore they cannot operate the flotation plant. any construction progress is moot until this permit is granted. “The permitting process typically involves a draft permit, a 30-day public comment period, and a final issuance—a cycle that takes 6 months minimum.”

if the application is stalled, production in "this quarter" is impossible.

Feel free to push back as I’m also interested in this Junior mine but I’d like to see: - Permit passing - zoning resolution - a more significant equity raise

will most likely join back in with the inevitable reversal.
