i dont get this

this is extractions from the report:

"Discussions with our Joint Venture Partner are continuing in order to remedy the Company’s concerns about uncertainties in time required for grant of the Mining Leases. It is now examining the possibility of purchasing additional granted Mining Leases, with the aim of obtaining near term production while grant of the applications for mining leases described in the Report is obtained."

Q1) Despite the report stating 200,000 tones of iron(which i am not sure exactly where they are pulling these figures from) the company will apply for mining leases?

Q2) why they are applying for more mining leases when they know it takes time for them to be granted?

Q3) whats going on with gold and tin drilling. when do we get the drilling results?
