AEMA, coalition launch legal challenge to BLM Conservation and Landscape Health Rule
The American Exploration & Mining Association was joined by a coalition in filing a challenge last Friday in the Wyoming district court.
Southern Copper, one of the world’s largest producers of the metal, has postponed its $1 billion Tia Maria mining project in Peru because of social conflicts, Chief Executive Oscar Gonzalez said on Tuesday.
The company (SCCO.N: Quote) will revise the project’s viability later this month and consider alternative sites in Argentina and Ecuador in the meantime, Gonzalez told local television.
