jonesville mine seeks permit, page-3

I don't understand why we need to apply for another permit. My understanding was that all permits for exploration were already held, in fact the below is straight off the BLR website:

'All permits are in place to conduct an extensive exploration drilling programme on the project. Permits are also in place to construct a box-cut and develop a trial underground mining operation. The recovery of up to 17,000 tons of coal from this trial mining operation has been approved. Permits are also in place to commence tailings reprocessing. Additional permits would be required to commence commercial scale mining.'

Why do we need another permit? And wouldn't this be worthy of an announcement?
