The company said it was on target to bring four of its properties to drill-ready status, with the possible exception of Esa, and to drill one this field season.

The permits, valid for three years, allow stripping of overburden at both properties to refine possible drill locations.

North Hemlo and Esa are now both fully permitted, allowing FCM to conduct a systematic programme of exploration activities including drilling, stripping and trenching.
