Peru environmental watchdog rules out tailings spill at Southern Copper mine
Peru's environmental regulator OEFA has concluded that mining waste from the company's Cuajone mine did not spill into a river during heavy rains last week.
East Star currently holds copper licenses on the Verkhuba deposit, which hosts a JORC-compliant exploration target of 19-23 million tonnes grading 1.4-1.9% copper equivalent.
