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.
Zambia’s finance minister said on Thursday that audits had highlighted tax “issues” with Konkola Copper Mines (KCM), owned by London-listed Vedanta Resources (VED.L:Quote), and Canada’s First Quantum Minerals (FM.TO: Quote) in addition to Glencore’s (GLEN.L:Quote) subsidiary in the country.
Situmbeko Musokotwane said earlier this month that an audit showed taxes were still owed by commodity trader Glencore’s Mopani Copper Mines but the company was being given a chance to respond.
