All mining companies have to deal with those kind of issues. I do know a lot of jr. Miners post Hogwash. That's how they get monies. And the reputation of the company. It's still a Lotto. But then again to post something that is not a fact is wrong. I call them Scare Tactics. AIMHO
all mines needs lots of funds, and yeah permits too, i hope this is not just another empty shell and can get started, not the first mine stock ive seen dead!
