Referendums to ban large and medium scale projects can only be about future mining rights and won’t be retroactively applied to concessions granted prior to public vote, top court has ruled.

Drill highlights include 29.2 metres of 0.54% copper starting at surface from the New Year zone, with a higher-grade 2.3-metre section of 1.95% copper from 11 metres.
